robviti Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 (edited) Can anyone comment on the quality of the remastering of the JRVG reissue of Dizzy Reece's Soundin' Off? Also, what is your opinion of the music itself? How does it compare with Starbright and Blues In Trinity? Thanks in advance.

David Ayers Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 This is a really good disk musically. A rare trumpet quartet record from Blue Note! The JRVG is fine and clear, though I find the balance odd, with the trumpet a little under-present and the bass too full. Even despite my usual JRVG reservations, I'd say buy this one.

Clunky Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 won't this be part of the expected Mosaic Reece select ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 won't this be part of the expected Mosaic Reece select ? yup. and the only reason for me to pick that Select up, as I have both Conns and a TOCJ of Star Bright. All very good stuff, so my expectations on "Soundin' Off" are pretty high! ubu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphie_boy Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 I have the TOCJ of Soundin' Off and it sounds very good to me. It's an excellent session - I prefer it to Blues in Trinity due to the single horn. Its a great showcase for Dizzy's playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 I agree with Ralphie except that the TOCJ doesn't sound quite so good as most TOCJs, at least to me. But a great session, and good to hear Dizzy with rhythm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robviti Posted February 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 where did you hear about a scheduled dizzy reece mosaic select? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphie_boy Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 I don't think it's scheduled or even confirmed by Mosaic, but it's been mentioned as a possibility. It would make a nice Select. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
couw Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 (edited) check this thread the Reece select seems to be rather firmly planned. Edited February 3, 2004 by couw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphie_boy Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 Cool! I missed the update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 Reece does a lot of Cherry-esque fluffs and things like that here; it's an odd date, especially considering the instrumentation. All of his BNs are excellent... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost of miles Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 Yes, the album will definitely be part of the Mosaic Select that's forthcoming at the end of March. I know many here are wary of Ron McMaster's audio work, and he's had a hand in a number of the Selects--so you might want to go for a Japanese version if you're in the anti-McMaster camp. (Assuming he's doing the Reece set.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
