connoisseur series500 Posted April 4, 2004 Report Posted April 4, 2004 and when they might be due out. Any news anyone? Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted April 4, 2004 Report Posted April 4, 2004 I heard directly from Michael back in January (or maybe late December) that the Booker Ervin / Woody Shaw date from '68 (or was it '67?) would probably be a Conn, in the next batch (no discussion of when that might be). I'm talking about half of the Ervin two-LP release "Back from the Gig" (the half that wasn't actually lead by Horace Parlan). Anyone care to make any predictions about what might be in the next batch of Conns??? NOT what you want to be in the next batch... ...but what you THINK will be in the next batch??? What do we (collectively) think Michael is thinking??? Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted April 4, 2004 Report Posted April 4, 2004 (edited) Hey, that's a GREAT idea for what is really Connie's thread, Rooster!!! I have a funny hunch that Jack Wilson's "Easterly Winds" will be in the next round of Conns. It seems to always fetch a good (sometimes even CRAZY) price on eBay, when I see it come up as a TOCJ.

Do you think that this fact plays any kind of role in the selection process? I would hope that it would be the case, but I'm not sure. Hopefully, Kevin might have some news for us... Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted April 4, 2004 Report Posted April 4, 2004 I'm certainly not sure that it plays any role, but indirectly, consistant high auction prices may indicate some real interest in the date -- enough that perhaps a number of people have contacted Michael about it, or Blue Note (who presumably passes along those kinds of things to Michael). Or high prices on eBay may not mean a damn thing either. Depends on the title really, and the specific artist in question. Quote
Swinging Swede Posted April 4, 2004 Report Posted April 4, 2004 We also know that Horace Silver’s United States of Mind trilogy (That Healin’ Feelin’, Total Response & All) probably will be released as a double CD in the next Connoisseur batch. Since the last two Connoisseur batches came out in October (2002 and 2003), I think that is a safe bet this year too. Quote

NOT what you want to be in the next batch... ...but what you THINK will be in the next batch??? What do we (collectively) think Michael is thinking??? Well, we know that Cuscuna likes Andrew Hill and since Hill is typical Connoisseur material and several of his albums have not been on CD or only in the OOP Mosaic set, I think a new Hill Connoisseur is a reasonable guess. Compulsion maybe? Maybe another Larry Young? Another Jackie McLean from the mid-60s, like Consequence perhaps? Although there are many new McLean BN reissues, so that might make it less likely. There probably will be something noone thought of also! Quote
Late Posted April 4, 2004 Report Posted April 4, 2004 I seem to recall that Cuscuna was mulling (positively) over Where is Brooklyn?. I think Compulsion is a good call, too (though I'd personally opt for Andrew!!! or Involution first). I also wouldn't be surprised to see Gerry Mulligan's Complete California Concerts, using the recent Japanese re(Mc)masters, come out as a two-fer. Natural Essence, plus one track from The Train Wreck (so that TOCJ owners would have to re-purchase)? Quote
Jazzmoose Posted April 4, 2004 Report Posted April 4, 2004 Speaking of Hill, did I actually read that Black Fire was coming out as an RVG, or is my brain playing tricks on me again? Quote
BruceH Posted April 4, 2004 Report Posted April 4, 2004 No, I heard that somewhere too. (Or my brain is playing tricks...) Quote
Late Posted April 5, 2004 Report Posted April 5, 2004 ... did I actually read that Black Fire was coming out as an RVG ... It's on slate for the (U.S.) RVG rodeo, and it sounds great. (The JRVG of Black Fire sounds great, that is.) Judgment sounds even better (to me), and Smokestack has been wildly improved over the last (Larry Walsh) remaster. I couldn't wait for the U.S. pressings, and dropped some yen-dough into Mr. Tanno's pockets. Quote
