Late Posted January 28 Report Posted January 28 Any rumblings about Century Celebrations for Davis or Coltrane? Reissues, newly discovered recordings? Quote
medjuck Posted January 28 Report Posted January 28 Ravi Coltrane and Terence Blanchard are touring with a tribute concert. I was scheduled to see it last night in Santa Barbara but they were snowed in somewhere in the east. (In the '70s here.) Quote

kh1958 Posted January 28 Report Posted January 28 At the Big Ears Festival this year, Isaiah Collier is doing a Coltrane tribute (Collier Plays Coltrane). At the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival this year: Terrence Blanchard and Ravi Coltrane are doing a Coltrane and Miles Davis Centennial tribute. The New Orleans based big band Trumpet Mafia is doing a Miles Davis tribute with guest Keyon Harold. Maurice Brown is also usually the co-leader, along with Ashlin Parker. New Orleans based saxophonists Ricardo Pascal (Jason Marsalis trio/Mahmoud Chouki New World Ensemble), Trevarri Huffboone (Dirty Dozen Brass Band) and Derek Douget (Ellis Marsalis Quintet/ Herlin Riley Quartet/ Jason Marsalis Quintet) present Love is Supreme, A tribute to John Coltrane.

Late Posted January 29 Author Report Posted January 29 I'm guessing the Japanese market will eventually reissue a bunch of titles. I'm hoping for an album called Kind of Blue. And another rare-ish one—Blue Train. Quote
OliverM Posted January 30 Report Posted January 30 They started by reissuing the Complete Plugged Nickel set, both in CD and vinyl, with "new liner notes and track-by-track commentary by Syd Schwartz alongside Bob Blumenthal’s original essay." Quote
paulfromcamden Posted January 30 Report Posted January 30 Slightly underwhelming 100th anniversary "Best Of John Coltrane" compilation from Craft featuring tracks from his Prestige LPs. https://craftrecordings.com/blogs/news/best-of-john-coltrane Quote
mikeweil Posted January 30 Report Posted January 30 What shall they do? Everything has been out multiple times. The best they can do is keeping the fine box sets and most important reissues available. Quote

As a record fan it would be nice to have affordable vinyl reissues of some of the posthumous Impulse albums - Stellar Regions, Living Space, Olatunji, Offering etc. Though I appreciate these may not be strong commercial propositions and not a good starting point if labels are hoping to attract new listeners.

JSngry Posted January 30 Report Posted January 30 I'd still like a Bootleg Series release from the so_called Electric Jungle period. Quote

B. Clugston Posted January 30 Report Posted January 30 l would love to see a 1975 Miles Davis Japan tour box and the rest of the Coltrane Half Note stuff ("Creation"!). Would be nice to get the Olatunji concert on vinyl, too. We're more likely to get Miles 1987 live and The Gentle Side of John Coltrane remastered by an audiophile dudebro. Quote

I believe it would be: John Coltrane • At The Half Note, Complete March 19, 1965 "Chim Chim Cheree" (20:16) "Impressions" (21:58) March 26, 1965 "One Down, One Up" (27:40) "Afro Blue" (12:44) April 2, 1965 "Creation" (23:11) "I Want To Talk About You" (15:26) "Afro Blue" (5:40) May 5, 1965 "Song of Praise" (19:39) "My Favorite Things" (22:47) ================= It seems like a complete-ish Miles Davis box set when Keith Jarrett was in the band is overdue. Quote
JSngry Posted January 30 Report Posted January 30 The drawback to a Miles/Keith live set might be the things with Leon Chancler. By his own later admission, he was not yet up to the task at hand. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted January 30 Report Posted January 30 3CD/4LP Half Note set would be the cat's meow. I have the Audio Fidelity and Creation/Brazilia vinyl, but a remastered and complete concert is deserved. Quote
mikeweil Posted January 30 Report Posted January 30 I still hope for a completed issue of the 2/2/1966 Coltrane session. Quote

Late Posted January 31 Author Report Posted January 31 I'd love to hear anything from: • Coltrane 1966-1967 • Davis (roughly) 1971-1975 that hasn't been widely circulated. Quote
Milestones Posted January 31 Report Posted January 31 I suppose they can still unearth good things by these great artists. The Miles Davis bootlegs offered some good stuff, and I was quite pleased with Coltrane's Both Directions at Once and Blue World. One can't expect anything mind-blowing (at least I don't), but perhaps some more satisfying recordings (probably concerts). Quote

Yeah I’m really curious how they sounded together. Thats Ayler with Tranes rhythm section right? With Ali on drums? That could definitely work.

Trane newcomers that are misleaded they actuallly get the best of? Edited January 31 by Pim Quote
