mikeweil Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 They really should let the board magicians here do the cover designing! Bet you'd do for free copies of the batch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Bresnahan Posted May 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 (edited) There we go! Magnifico! Sure Weizen, you dumped my artwork quick enough! Can you send me a copy of the red version big enough to fit in Power Point layout? BTW, here is the version I did with "In A Capricorian Way": Kevin Edited May 6, 2004 by Kevin Bresnahan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrJ Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 This is a GREAT list of Conns...I'm always amazed at the reactions to the Conn lists, they always make me happy! Very cool that DANCE WITH DEATH will finally get a decent remastering - and I think it's underrated by many around here, a very fine album although more in the darkly hued, subdued Andrew Hill bag so takes a while to grow on you. Fantastic about the Hutcherson, too - NOW is pretty good and the bonus tracks are likely to be worth checking out. GREAT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Late Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 Is it "Capricorian" or Capricornian? Finally, my favorite Rivers Blue Note on disc! The Mosaic version of this album is like going to the dentist. Some of Freddie Hubbard's most inspired playing in my book. Just listened to the Young session on the Mosaic yesterday. Will probably make the "upgrade" on that one — a fine date, with Eddie Gale more than making up for any of the stock licks Spaulding throws out there. Nice to see a change from the usual Morgan and Mobley picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Bresnahan Posted May 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 Is it "Capricorian" or Capricornian? Either way, I still think it's a sucky title! I re-did this artwork and called it "Quintet". I suppose "Den Tex" has possibilities... hey, couw, how about doing one off od the song titles?

Son-of-a-Weizen Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 The other one that doesn't appear to be on the BN re-issue fast track is the Harold Land. This thing is the dictionary definition of hideous. I'd even take a photo of the underside of a boot over this thing! I'm almost embarrassed to have it in the house...the neighbors have even started to whisper and laugh when I drive by! B) There's gotta be something decent out there on someone's drawing board?

Kevin Bresnahan Posted May 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 (edited) Weizen, I've done a very nice cover to "Take Aim". I think it came out nice. I used this picture of Land from a web site: I tinted it green and used a yellow font for Land's name. It looks OK but I bet couw could do a better job. I have it at home on the PC. I'll post it tonight. BTW, this picture looks like it came from the photo shoot for Land's "Harold In The Land of Jazz": Later, Kevin Edited May 6, 2004 by Kevin Bresnahan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andybleaden Posted May 7, 2004 Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 Now I am going to sulk. How did you guys end up with Take Aim and i did not. I bagged the Booker Ervin and Andrew Hill a while ago but never got the Harold Land Any help until it gets reissued? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, because on April 1st, you cruelly pulled a fast one on us and said that it was on the re-issue list!!!! I'll talk to the engineer who's credited (on Kevin's mock jewel insert) with the outstanding digital transfer....and put in a good word for you.

andybleaden Posted May 7, 2004 Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 You naughty sausage! I forgot all about that!!! What more could I do , April the 1st was there, no Mosaic reissues annoucement of all Andrew Hills rare pieces, no Blue Train Volume 2. Maybe I got a bit carried away -_- I apologise especially to those people with engineer expertise and or cd burners! Let me know if there is a penance that I can pay for my April Foolery!

B) Oooo, I did leave that there, didn't I? I wonder if the transfer engineer would rather I take this down? Since you caught it, Weizen, what do you think? Should I take it down? BTW, I have this as a Power Point file if anyone's interested. It cuts up nicely and fits like a charm. Funny thing is, I was just putting the finishing touches on a "Dance With Death" cover before this announcement. Later, Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Ayers Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 (edited) Forget that stuck-up old dude. If you want Booker covers to get attention you need to make something like this into something like "Booker Fever" Like the Sinatra choices, they already own the rights to the cover art. . . .That's gotta save a few reissue dollars! I'm still looking for the 12" of this (LP not needed but would be a bonus). Actually I want a whole crate of them - I can decorate my Office. BTW I love those mock-up covers - keep them coming!
