JSngry Posted January 13, 2019 Report Posted January 13, 2019 Official Physical and Digital Release Date Jan 25th, 2019 http://a-siderecords.com/records/the-newest-sound-you-never-heard/# I got something called Free Standards - Stockholm 1966 off a blog, but that was French Columbia. And then it came out again on Fresh Sounds, but you know, fuck them. But anyway, there this is! Quote

king ubu Posted January 13, 2019 Report Posted January 13, 2019 Great news for sure! Hope it'll be distributed over here (still no luck with Kimbrough's Monk set, Sunnyside is us only it seems, and I guess it's getting worse ...) Quote

To quote a certain board member, carpe diem! Correct: it includes the Stockholm, Sweden, November 8, 1966 session reissued on Fresh Sound as well as a never before issued session: Studio I, Vlaamse Radio- en Televisieomroeporganisatie, Brussels, Belgium, October 21, 1966, and a session labelled "Live, Brussels, Belgium, unidentified date, 1967". The label linked above accepts PayPal, so this issue should be available the world over (@ ubu). When you click the PayPal link a whole page of releases opens, leading me to think Ran Blake had a hand in this. Many of his releases are offered. Edited January 13, 2019 by mikeweil Quote
Teasing the Korean Posted January 13, 2019 Report Posted January 13, 2019 Not to derail the thread, but has there ever been a decent digital release of the RCA album? Quote

I don't believe so, at least domestically. This BMG France reissue probably comes closest. https://www.discogs.com/Jeanne-Lee-With-Ran-Blake-The-Newest-Sound-Around/release/3102306 Quote

They didn't make that availale in the US? Duh ... The cover of the new issue is a clear reference. Be careful when ordering this one, earlier CD versions did not inlude the bonus tracks. This was a US CD release, According to discogs, "Summertime" is missing, but the Lord Disco says it has the complete LP plus the four bonus tracks. https://www.discogs.com/Jeanne-Lee-Ran-Blake-The-Legendary-Duets-/release/6555141 Edited January 13, 2019 by mikeweil Quote
Teasing the Korean Posted January 13, 2019 Report Posted January 13, 2019 Thank you both. I will have to look for that French version. Quote
Joe Posted January 14, 2019 Report Posted January 14, 2019 Thanks Mike. NEVER seen that Bluebird issue. Quote

I figured that out in the meantime -- and yes, it seems Blake has a hand in this indeed, also came to that conclusion. Got to get this! Quote

sgcim Posted February 26, 2019 Report Posted February 26, 2019 The jazz reviewer on Terry Gross' Fresh Air NPR show did a segment on this a few days ago. Kevin Whitehead? Quote
Dmitry Posted February 26, 2019 Report Posted February 26, 2019 I just ordered mine. Looking forward to hear it. If the sound is close to the RCA cd reissue, we are in for an auditory orgasm. Quote

srellek Posted February 27, 2019 Report Posted February 27, 2019 This release was made possible with Ran's direct input and the considerable effort of Aaron Hartley (Ran's aide-de-camp and NEC colleague) and his A-Side records. Danilo Perez and Dominique Eade contribute wonderful notes. The sound is pristine. I am biased, of course, but this is spectacular music, lovingly presented. Ran's illustrations throughout are a Braxtonian delight. Don't sleep on it. Quote

I’ve just listened to the first 10 songs from disc 1, and it’s everything you’d hope it to be..something quite different! Quote
Dmitry Posted March 20, 2019 Report Posted March 20, 2019 I played Disc 1 twice yesterday. It's captivating. Looking forward to discussing the music. Her Ellington interpretations are so refreshingly-original. The Beatles cut...I guess it was a tribute to an immensely-popular hit. Even trying to inject some individualism into what everyone was covering then is commendable. And sexy. I hadn't listened to the lyrics of the Hard Day's Night until she sang it. She made it sound quite erotic. The service was awesome also. I got mine within a couple of days of ordering. They also sent a free bonus disk of Persian music, which i haven't played yet.. Quote
