Winters benefits from the visual component, for sure. But the voices alone carry weight! 

I saw a good bit of Winters on TV in my youth, know exactly what you mean.  Most of the Euro PD labels cut off at 1962, hence the missing Winter titles, though Enlightenment takes their sets through 1964.

Now that Universal owns/controls Blue Note, Fantasy and Impulse, Mosaic could release:

The Complete Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers With Wayne Shorter 

It would comprise:

Africaine

The Big Beat

Like Someone I Love

A Night In Tunisia

Meet You At The Jazz Corner Of The World vols. 1 & 2

Pisces

Roots And Herbs

The Witch Doctor

The Freedom Rider

Jazz Messengers (Impulse)

Three Blind Mice vols. 1 & 2

Mosaic

Buhaina's Delight

Caravan

Ugetsu

Free For All

Kyoto

Indestructible

Hmmm, that would be a huge box.  Studio Sessions only would comprise 15 albums - still huge, but possibly 10 CDs.

Michael, when did Universal obtain Fantasy/Concord?  I am aware of their distribution relationship, but not one of any control.

Mosaic already put out 6 CDs of that material:

Huh.  Thought I saw it on UMG's website, but I don't see it now.

Thanks.  I wasn't aware of it.  Although my suggestion would stretch for more years and encompass other labels.

The Complete Clef/Norgran/Verve sessions of Louis Bellson

If they can do Buddy Rich, why not Bellson? Lots of Ellingtonians and other good soloists here.

 

I'm still for this, as well as for sets of the Clef/Verve seseions of Ben Webster and Illinois Jacquet.

has the Giants of Jazz (Gillespie, Winding, Stitt, Monk, McKibbon, Blakey) Euro/UK tour of Oct-Nov '71 been mentioned?

Only half of the material recorded in the UK concert (Victoria Theatre, London) for Atlantic (10 of 20 titles) has been released - does the unreleased material still exist or was it lost in the 2008 fire?

There were also recordings in Milan (RAI Radio broadcast), Paris (both concerts were ORTF recorded broadcasts), Prague, Warsaw, Budapest, Belgrade (JRT Radio broadcast), Rotterdam (NOS Radio broadcast), Berlin, Boblingen (Sudwestfunk broadcast), Copenhagen (Danish Broadcasting Corporation), Uppsala - much has been previously released on semi/non-legit labels

plus the outlier is the earlier Australian (Melbourne, Sept 24) performance (ABC Radio broadcast)

I'm sure these concerts were well attended but were the performers generally up to scratch - have read mixed reviews of these concerts

Completed sessions of several 1950's Savoy arstist would be nice.

THE COMPLETE REGGIE WORKMAN ON DENON (1977-78): Leader, Sideman, and A & R 

Leader

  • Reggie Workman First - Conversation (1977)
  • Reggie Workman - The Works of Workman (1978)

Sideman

  • Bridgewater Brothers - Lightning and Thunder (1977)
  • Bridgewater Brothers - Generation Suite (1978)
  • Grachan Moncur III - Shadows (1977)
  • Max Roach - Live in Tokyo, Vols. 1 & 2 (1977)
  • Hilton Ruiz - Fantasia (1977)
  • Archie Shepp - Ballads for Trane (1977)
  • Sonny Stitt - Moonlight in Vermont (1977)
  • Mickey Tucker - Sweet Lotus Lips (1978)

A & R

  • Alex Blake - Especially for You (1978)
  • Walter Davis Jr. - Abide With Me (1977)
  • Tommy Flanagan - Alone Too Long (1978) 
  • Tommy Flanagan & Kenny Barron - Together (1978)
  • Billy Harper - Soran-Bushi, B.H. (1978)
  • Billy Harper - Knowledge of Self (1978)
  • Archie Shepp - On Green Dolphin Street (1978)
  • Archie Shepp - Lady Bird (1978)
  • John Stubblefield - Midnight Over Memphis (1978)
  • Kazumi Watanabe - Lonesome Cat (1977)


I think others have proposed variations on this idea before.  And I realize that it's probably neither feasible nor commercially viable.  That said, I think it would make a fascinating set.  Also, the music is not readily available; it hasn't been reissued on Euro PD and grey market labels (yet).

Another thing to consider: Since Denon was very focused on audio quality, a set like this set might make a splash in the audiophile marketplace -- at least among those audiophiles who aren't anti-digital.

I assume these twenty-one LPs would translate into about a dozen CDs. 

I'd buy it.  In a heartbeat.
