Dan Gould Posted October 3, 2023 Report Share Posted October 3, 2023 So it seems like the question I had a couple of weeks ago is being answered - what is coming in the way of archival releases for holiday shoppers/consumers? Am I the only one feeling a bit disappointed? More of the same: Ahmad Jamal and Wes Montgomery and two that are a little surprising, Les McCann and Grif. To be honest I'd be more interested in the Griff with a different rhythm section. Does anyone know if Real to Reel has anything going on? Maybe it wasn't realistic to hope that more Left Bank cassettes were coming this year, but hope springs eternal for 2024, I guess. Thoughts, comments or emotional outbursts?

cliffpeterson Posted October 3, 2023 Report Share Posted October 3, 2023 Don't forget the Trader release. And, now the Oscar Peterson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted October 3, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2023 Funny I didn't even know that there had been archival releases of OP and this new one is number four apparently. I guess what it boils down to for me is fewer legends, more working musicians who didn't do annual international tours. More Left Bank or releases from the late lamented Uptown Records (what a shame all we ever got out of the purchase of those reels was the Hank Mobley/Bennie Green recordings).

cliffpeterson Posted October 3, 2023 Report Share Posted October 3, 2023 Think of this as a summary of upcoming archival information releases (not just for Black Friday RSD) already mentioned in individual threads plus some items not mentioned at all (I think) and that does not includes the Steeplechase "In Concert" releases: Con Alma: The Oscar Peterson Trio - Live in Lugano, 1964 Mack Avenue Johnny Griffin Live at Ronnie Scott’s 1964 Gearbox Records Ahmad Jamal Emerald Nights Live at Penthouse 19566-1968 on Jazz Detective (3rd set in this series).

JSngry Posted October 3, 2023 Report Share Posted October 3, 2023 More on the Mingus please? Is it "previously unreleased" or just "unreleased"? Candid did some "previously unreleased" material a few decades ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the Wes, particularly if the sound is good. Wes a little hard for the older guy to hear under muddy circumstances. Oh and the Marion Brown. See a fews others out there: Eric Dolphy - Iron Man. https://recordstoreday.com/SpecialRelease/16412 Gil Evans & Ten. https://recordstoreday.com/SpecialRelease/16444 Dexter Gordon - A Day In Copenhagen (already out there) https://recordstoreday.com/SpecialRelease/16334 Chico Hamilton - The Master https://recordstoreday.com/SpecialRelease/16443 Black Jazz Records - Complete Singles https://recordstoreday.com/SpecialRelease/16367 And here is the cover for the Wes: https://recordstoreday.com/SpecialRelease/16455 And looks like the year for the Bill Evans is 1964 versus 1954: https://recordstoreday.com/SpecialRelease/16406 Edited October 3, 2023 by Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjazzg Posted October 6, 2023 Report Share Posted October 6, 2023 (edited) I had no idea that Chico's 'The Master' existed and then was very surprised to discover he's playing with Little Feat (who I liked a lot in my younger days) on it. Gave it some online sampling, still undecided Edited October 6, 2023 by mjazzg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted October 6, 2023 Report Share Posted October 6, 2023 It's an okay session, not essential for either a Chico or Little Feat fan imo. I have it on cd from Culture Factory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted October 6, 2023 Report Share Posted October 6, 2023 I think most of what Moosicus releases is from NDR. The Browns are great and as far as I know they haven't been reissued (there are a couple of different 70s pressing variations, however).

Brad Posted November 26, 2023 Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 I went to RSD this past Friday. Based on my experience (and from what others wrote on Hoffman) it seemed like a dud and record store owners probably got stuck with a lot of unwanted inventory. I passed on many of the jazz releases because they will be available in cd. Even in cd, I may not pick up the Bill Evans as there’s been a lot of Evans lately.

sidewinder Posted November 27, 2023 Report Share Posted November 27, 2023 (edited) I bought the Bill Evans on LP. Fine LP in very good sound - with the under-rated Israels/Bunker lineup apart from one track. It's one of the best of these Evans releases IMO. I'm inclined to pick up some of the others on CD when they come out. Hardly any of the others seem to be on LP here in the UK and the CD versions are about a third of the price.
