ghost of miles Posted January 27, 2004 Report Posted January 27, 2004 ... regarding full box-sets (well, and Selects, too)? Any word beyond what's showing on Alan's Jazzmatazz site? I'm hoping the Woody Herman Columbia is still on schedule... Quote
ghost of miles Posted January 28, 2004 Author Report Posted January 28, 2004 Just got this reply back from Mosaic. I had somehow missed the news about the Dizzy Reece Select. Good to hear that that Tal Farlow Verve is evidently really going to happen as well: We've gone though a number of twists and turns but the Woody Herman Columbia 1947-49 seems to be coming together and is scheduled for sometime this Spring. We are also working on a Tal Farlow Verve set for May/June. Our next release will be two more Selects; some great live material we leased from Dave Liebman and the second Select will be Dizzy Reece on Blue Note. These are expected at the end of March. McCoy Tyner is a Mosaic set we hope to do in the future but is not scheduled for this year. We are looking at the Keynotes now and hope to be able to do something; whether its's a Mosaic or various Selects but it is still undetermined. Quote
Aftab Posted January 28, 2004 Report Posted January 28, 2004 I'm ABOUT that Dizzy Reece select! Quote
WD45 Posted January 28, 2004 Report Posted January 28, 2004 I am pleased as punch to see that the Tal Farlow Verve sides will finally be released in a set. Wooo! The more CDs with Eddie Costa in my collection, the happier I am. I have "The Swinging Guitar of..." and "This is Tal Farlow" but I am missing "Tal" and anything else that I am not aware of. What else is there? Quote
Alfred Posted January 28, 2004 Report Posted January 28, 2004 What else is there? The Farlow will be a hugh Mosaic set. Here are the sesions I found on the AMG website: 1954 The Tal Farlow Album Norgran 1954 Artistry of Tal Farlow Norgran 1954 Autumn in New York Polygram 1955 The Interpretations of Tal Farlow Verve 1955 Poppin' and Burnin' Verve 1955 Fascinating Rhythm Norgran 1955 A Recital by Tal Farlow Norgran 1956 Tal Verve 1957 The Swinging Guitar of Tal Farlow Verve 1958 This Is Tal Farlow Polygram 1959 The Guitar Artistry of Tal Farlow Verve 1959 Tal Farlow Plays the Music of Harold Arlen Verve I only know "This is Tal Farlow" (Verve Elite Edition).

After closer inspection, it turns out that Poppin' and Burnin' is a compilation album. However, that still leaves about ten albums worth of material. How many discs will that make? Six or seven? I'll be buying that. Quote
J.A.W. Posted January 28, 2004 Report Posted January 28, 2004 These are the "official" Tal Farlow Norgran / Verve albums: The Artistry of Tal Farlow (reissued as Autumn in New York) The Interpretations of Tal Farlow (reissued as Fascinating Rhythm) A Recital By Tal Farlow The Tal Farlow Album Tal The Swinging Guitar of Tal Farlow This Is Tal Farlow The Guitar Artistry of Tal Farlow Tal Farlow Plays the Music of Harold Arlen Quote

ghost of miles Posted January 28, 2004 Author Report Posted January 28, 2004 Was COOKIN' THE BLUES a DeFranco date or a Farlow date? Wasn't this already included on the long-gone DeFranco Mosaic? Quote
Claude Posted January 28, 2004 Report Posted January 28, 2004 Our next release will be two more Selects; some great live material we leased from Dave Liebman Hey, that's a nice surprise! I wonder what material that is, reissues or previously unreleased stuff? Could this be an unlimited Mosaic set like the Charlie Parker box, because no label is involved. Liebman certainly couldn't get a better opportunity to have his material released. Quote
Big Wheel Posted January 28, 2004 Report Posted January 28, 2004 I'm pretty sure "Swing Guitars" is only half of an LP. The other side is an Oscar Moore session with Carl Perkins. Quote
Larry Kart Posted January 28, 2004 Report Posted January 28, 2004 Please tell me that "We've gone though a number of twists and turns but the Woody Herman Columbia 1947-49 seems to be coming together and is scheduled for sometime this Spring" is an error in transcription. Damn it -- it's the large body of First Herd material from '45-'46 that's desparately in need of comprehensive Mosaic treatment (masters and alternates, with everything properbly sorted out, not mislabled and screwed up as it was on that 2-CD "Blowin' Up a Storm" set from Sony a few years back. Not that the Second Herd stuff on Columbia shouldn't get it the Mosaic treatment too, but there are First Herd gems that have never been out except on the original 78s (unless you count the bootleg "Woody in Disco Order" series). For instance, there's "That's What Uncle Remus Said," which includes what may be the scariest Sonny Berman solo on record. Quote
Alfred Posted January 28, 2004 Report Posted January 28, 2004 Could this be an unlimited Mosaic set like the Charlie Parker box, because no label is involved. Liebman certainly couldn't get a better opportunity to have his material released. It's rather like the Phil Woods box I think. That box was limited to 5.000 and no other label was involved. Quote
Philip Posted January 28, 2004 Report Posted January 28, 2004 (edited) Blues in Trinity, Star Bright, Coming On* (first issued as a Connoisseur in 1999), Sounding Off and perhaps Duke Jordan's Flight to Jordan. Will anything else be in the Reece set? *Corrected title Edited January 29, 2004 by Philip Quote
WD45 Posted January 28, 2004 Report Posted January 28, 2004 What era is the live Dave Liebman material from? Quote
mikeweil Posted January 28, 2004 Report Posted January 28, 2004 One LP of the Poppin' and Burnin' (a Wes Montgomery quote on Farlow, BTW) was compiled from previously released material, but the other LP was an unreleased session with Oscar Pettiford on cello that was only partly successful due to the rather stiff playing of drummer Henry Bellson (Louie's brother). Quote
doubleM Posted January 28, 2004 Report Posted January 28, 2004 That Diz Reece title is "Comin' On", not "Comin' About". Even though I've done both. Quote
Peter Johnson Posted January 28, 2004 Report Posted January 28, 2004 Blues in Trinity, Star Bright, Coming About (first issued as a Connoisseur in 1999), Sounding Off and perhaps Duke Jordan's Flight to Jordan. Will anything else be in the Reece set? What about Africaine? According to AMG, Dizzy Reece played congas on it! Quote
paul secor Posted January 29, 2004 Report Posted January 29, 2004 I'm pretty sure "Swing Guitars" is only half of an LP. The other side is an Oscar Moore session with Carl Perkins. I believe that Swing Guitars was actually 1/3 of an LP. Four tunes by Farlow's trio, four by an Oscar Moore quartet, and four by a Barney Kessel quartet. I have a Japanese LP reissue which includes four tracks by a Nick Esposito led sextet, including Bennie Green and Flip Phillips. I don't think that these were included on the original LP release. Quote
marcoliv Posted January 29, 2004 Report Posted January 29, 2004 i'm more than happy to learn that Reece's Select is scheduled for March. i only have his Conn releases and they are among my favorite ones on the series. can't say a word about Liebman stuff. thanks a lot for sharing this precious information Marcus Oliveira Quote
JohnS Posted January 29, 2004 Report Posted January 29, 2004 Great news about a Farlow box. Definitely one to look forward to. As it's Verve material us Europeans may get a good deal again. Maybe the Reece will include "The Flip" Quote
medjuck Posted January 29, 2004 Report Posted January 29, 2004 Jazzmatazz keeps listing a "Gerry Mulligan Songbook" set. Any word on that? Quote
Brad Posted January 29, 2004 Report Posted January 29, 2004 I like the Farlow box. That sounds exciting but expensive. I also share Larry Kart's concerns about the Woody Herman but we'll have to see. However, I am puzzled by the Keynote references. To issue this material as several Selects wouldn't do that material justice. This is a set that cries out for the full Mosaic treatment. I understand that it can't be done as one Mosaic but probably several Mosaics, similar to the Commodores (which were 3 boxes). If it came out this way, this will be the best Mosaic ever. This set deserves an exhaustive book written by experts. I suppose if worse comes to worse they could use the book that accompanied the LP Box. Quote
Larry Kart Posted January 29, 2004 Report Posted January 29, 2004 I wouldn't say "if worse comes to worse" about reprinting Dan Morgenstern's notes for the old Keynote set. Can't imagine the job being done any better. Quote
jazzbo Posted January 29, 2004 Report Posted January 29, 2004 Brad, I imagine that Mosaic would love to do a COMPLETE Keynote as well, but I read this to mean that perhaps Verve is balking at licensing them the complete material, and as an alternative they are considering leasing selected material. I've got all the material that was released on cd and love it, I'm all for new cd incarnations however it may be achieved, and hopefully including other material not on cd before. Quote
