Mingus' "East Coasting" has been reissued a couple of times, including a recent LP by Get Back. Now that I'm thinking about Gang of Four, I think a good reissue would be a double disc w/ the Fast single, the first two LPs, the Yellow Ep, and the Peel Sessions EP. Maybe if we all pester Rhino Handmade enough... I'd like to see: Alan Silva "Luna Surface" LP - absolutely tornadic large-ensemble freakout w/ most of the AACM. I imagine Get Back will get around to this eventually, which still leaves the digiphiles in the lurch. The Ornette stuff on Impulse (any idea why this has not happened?) John Coltrane "Cosmic Music" (same question) Cecil Taylor "Spring of Two Blue Js" Borbetomagus "Barbed Wire Maggots"
Cecil Taylor "Spring of Two Blue Js"
I got that one on , along with three cd's from the 'Fondation Maeght Night' series on the Italian Jazz View label (not very official, but a few years ago all over shops in Europe in numbered limited editions of 2000...). They seem to be out of print for a couple of years now, but it's cool they were there, if only briefly. Even stuff like Mike Nock's Fourth Way (with violinist Michael White) has been re-released on JazzView-cd at the end of the eighties. Other cd titles I have seen in this series: Albert Ayler and Sun Ra. they all scream: please re-re-release me, dear re-Master. Regards, Remco Takken
I semi-forgot about the JazzView CDs - I got the Aylers, which were not-exactly-NoNoised from the Shandar LPs, and they scream for a good reissue. For those unfamiliar, they're very late Ayler recordings, but fortunately they mostly stay away from the late-period vocal material and instead are mostly gentle, lyrical performances of chestnuts like "Ghosts." AND Call Cobbs is on piano instead of harpsichord, thank Gawd. Remco Takken <r.takken@planet.nl> said:

Gentle, lyrical Ayler? This I gotta hear. I love his tunes, but don't find myself listening to his CDs much, since I don't have much taste for sax freakage. (Not a value judgment, I hasten to add, just a personal taste; I like enough other noisy stuff that a friend in college accused me of having "the world's largest collection of records that sound like vacuum cleaner malfunctions.") -- | jzitt@metatronpress.com http://www.josephzitt.com/ | | http://www.metatronpress.com/jzitt/ http://www.mp3.com/josephzitt/ | | == New book: Surprise Me with Beauty: the Music of Human Systems == | | Comma / Gray Code Silence: the John Cage Discussion List |
Chris: This CT session existed on CD on the dubious Jazz View fo quite a while. I'm sure there are still sealed copies of it floating around somewhere. Maybe we could also see a single CD reissue of Ornette! and, come to thinkl of it, Horace Tapscott's the Giant Is Sleeping (Flying Dutchman) [with *Black* Arthur Blythe] -- I know it was out for a quick minute coupled with a Bobby Bryant set on RCA/BMG/whatever -- but try to find it now.

While we're fantasizing, I might as well lodge a request for the John Carter-Bobby Bradford Quartet disc that made up the *other* half of that 'West Coast Hot' reissue, this time complete (there was a track missing from the Carter session) and paired more appropriately with the rest of the material Carter and Bradford waxed for Flying Dutchman, like 'Self-Determination Music.' I have no inside scoop on this, but keep an eye on French BMG. Not only did they get Ornette's 'Friends and Neighbors' out a few years back, but I've recently seen nice looking digipak reissues of some of the Leon Thomas sessions from the same source. They show up regularly at Tower. While we're on the subject of the West Coast, I'd love to see at least a few more of the Arthur Blythe Columbia discs issued. Koch did 'Lennox Avenue Breakdown' and 'Illusions,' but that leaves several more before Blythe lost direction. Other things I'd like to see would include the complete Braxton on Arista (a perpetual rumor for Mosaic) and the Air albums from the same source. There's also a Bill Dixon album on RCA that's supposed to be very nice. Ornette's Impulse recordings, or at least 'Crisis,' are high on the list as well; Impluse, Verve or Harmolodic would certainly have done this one by now if it was in any way accessible to them, I'm certain. Not being a vinyl fetishist, I'd like a CD version of the rest of the Art Ensemble BYG discs and Sharrock's 'Monkey-Pocky-Boo.' I wouldn't mind if Atavistic decided to give us a version of 'Topography of the Lungs' by Derek Bailey, Even Parker and Han Bennink; the master tapes are lost or destroyed, but Corbett's done some nice stuff from LPs. Domestic versions of Ulmer's 'Black Rock' and 'Freelancing' would be welcome, as would Cecil's MPS recordings 'Live in the Black Forest' and 'Fly!Fly!Fly!Fly!Fly!' I'd be glad to hear some of the oddities from Eno's Obscure label, like the original versions of Gavin Bryars's 'Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet' (with Derek Bailey in the group) and John Adams's (!) 'Common Tones in Simple Time,' as well. But hell, I'm delighted that we're getting as much as we get these days... I certainly can't keep up.

Stve (et al.) Don't hold your breath about this one folks -- though stranger things have happened. When I asked Bill about this at Victo a couple of weeks ago, he said RCA didn't want to reissue the disc and they didn't want to let him or anyone else buy the master tapes to do so.
