Pre-bird is essential Mingus, I think, brilliant stuff. Have 1970s Japanese reissue which is great. Looking forward to the Roy Haynes.
Good to hear. I think we talked ourselves into that one live! - Chris
THANK YOU GUYS , I GOT MUCH INFORMATIONS , ALSO FROM MANY OF THE COMMENTS I READ . GREAT !
The Ella Fitzgerald was indeed already released by Analogue Productions on their 45 RPM series. To me the highlight of the whole series -and my most awaited release of the year- is the Cannonball Adderley Quintet In Chicago (a.k.a Cannonball & Coltrane), since it's one of my favorite records of all time, super glad it's coming out in an audiophile form. It might not be the best sounding record, but the music is amazing, take a listen to the opening version of "Limehouse Blues", pure fire 🔥 🔥🔥🔥. Best wishes from Chile
The only channel covering all these announcements thank you
You are welcome! Thanks for watching. - Chris
yes! been waiting forever to get a copy of Soulville !
Nice review guys. I managed to get a copy of the Alice Coltrane Test Press in December . The mastering by Ryan k Smith is amazing. Fabulous sounding record
Nice Rob. It is so weird that they put those out before even announcing the title. - Chris
@@JazzBums yes Chris very strange. To be honest I wasn’t even sure it was the real thing when I ordered it 😂
Wish they would have done more Coltrane (e.g., Africa/Brass, Coltrane 1962, Impressions) or some of those killer McCoy Tyner Impulse sessions.
More impulse for sure, the ones you mentioned would be great
Yes! McCoy Tyner's Impulse stuff needs quality reissues desperately. - Chris
For me, anything with Ben Webster is a must have. I already have the the 3 items (with Hawk and Billie and as leader) here on CD, but I will definitely get the Acoustic Sounds versions when they come out. I have most of the others on CD, but I will pick and choose as they come out. The one which is an absolute must have is 'Very Tall' which shows Ray Brown at his absolute best, lifting Oscar and Milt in the air as they solo. Anyone who has not heard this before is in for a treat. If you were to ask me for the definition of a definition of a great rhythm section, I would nominate this along with Basie's classic sections with Freddie Green etc. .
Agreed. I am gonna bust out my copy of Very Tall because I have not heard it in probably a year or so. - Chris
Ray Brown's later playing is the most underrated in jazz.
Not the most exciting set of titles but Journey in Satchidananda and Out of the Afternoon more than make up for it. There are also a few that I am not familiar with so I may grow to enjoy those.
Great break down, gents! (Found you via the IG account) I just ordered Alice Coltrane's Journey In Satchidananda & Kenny Dorham's Quiet Kenny which is back in stock. Can't wait for Ben Webster's Soulville to be released. I used to have the AP 2X45RPM pressing of Soulville which is glorious! Such a smooth sounding album too. I honestly prefer the single LP versions over the 45RPM double disks for the sake of convenience. Plus they take up less shelf space, which means more albums ;) Cheers!
Awesome! Thank you for watchin! - Chris
Great job, Guys! I will get as many as I can afford.. top of the list is: Coltrane, Roy Haynes and Billie Holiday!
They could have done Stan Getz "Sweet Rain" with Chick Corea, or other great choices could have been Stan Getz with the Oscar Peterson trio, or a killer one would have been "For Musicians Only". The choices this year seem to be more driven by Chad using the metal parts he already has with the Bernie Grundman remasters, which are cool, but I do love the work that Ryan k Smith is doing
I am glad that I picked up originals of the Alice Coltrane and Roy Haynes recently, so I won’t feel too compelled to buy the reissues… but I probably still will!
FOMO is hard to shake off.
Really good run down from all four of you and, as others have said, it's nice to hear more personal opinions and perspectives to put these releases in as much context as possible,
I had the Roy Haynes and Oscars Night Train preordered from the previous series. I already preordered all the rest of the 2023 Acoustic Sounds Series yesterday.
Awesome Nicole! - Chris
Looking forward to the Alice Coltrane,Mingus, Nina Simone, Ella Fitzgerald, and Billie Holiday. After hearing your takes on some of the releases. I might add a few. It's the same with your Tone Poet recap. I'm getting excited about these releases I've never heard. I'm probably already $500-$600 in between this series, Tone Poet, and Classics.
Yep the hype train is real Kevin. - Chris
Night Train is incredible. Definite must have for everyone
I hope to get that Oscar Perterson on the 3rd and that Alice Coltrane is a must!
Great list. I’ll wait for the audiophile community comparison to some of the titles previously released as 45rpm, before I make the purchase.
Thanks for your recommendations. Holiday and Fitzgerald are the two I'm definitely getting. Some others are likely to find their way to my turntable.
Yeah, I’m getting most if not all. Keep ‘em spinning guys!
Thanks for watchin Bob. I am going to get all the ones I don't already have good copies of probably. - Chris
I think that you can easily tell who selected the releases for this series. Highlights are Alice Coltrane, Roy Haynes and really interested to hear the Mingus. There’s a number that I’m on the fence for now. It’s a real pity there’s not more Impulse titles, but maybe in 2024. Nice review gentleman, great to hear your views.
Thanks for watching! - Chris
Agreed. More impulse titles would’ve been great.
Yes, it's gonna be a nice jazz year in 2023 😍
Gonna be a sad year for everyone's wallet. - Chris
I'll be getting all Oscar Peterson stuff, the Roy Haynes, the Wes Montgomery, and Ben Webster sessions.
So basically everything! Oscar is all over this list. - Chris
@@JazzBums haha - totes!
Great review originally I was only getting the impulse releases. Then went back and got the bill evans. Will also get the Mingus.
I am excited they are dipping into Mercury as well. - Chris
The Oscar Peterson Trio Night Train has been on heavy streaming play lately while driving so this is an exciting surprise.
This album reminds me of the Vince Guaraldi Trio and they were my entry into loving jazz.
Amazon has this pressing as a pre-order for the same price as Acoustic Sounds but it comes with free shipping so I ordered it there.
I am really excited for Night Train. It is one of my favorite Oscar records. - Chris
@@JazzBums it sounds like you have a pretty nice Oscar Peterson collection Chris.
Last week a local shop turned me onto an early pressing of Oscar Peterson Trio - With Respect To Nat
Have you heard it? I can highly recommend it.
Nope. I will check it out.
The 2023 list is largely a bunch of snoozers. Maybe I’ll get the Wynton Kelly and Nina Simone. Definitely the Mingus and Adderley. Already have an Alice Coltrane and Roy Haynes.
Enjoyed the video. Good work!
Good and very informative - again.
One gets much more insight on pro and cons than from the Kassem's presentation (of course - he has to sell the records).
Thanks Gentlemen.
I'll get the Billie Holiday, probably Nina Simone, Hawkins & Webster - and Cannonball (to replace my Waxtime - embarassing! - copy).
I've just bought "Smokin' at the Half Note" (sealed Speaker Corner) on Discogs for almost $ 100 - argh...
You mean "Highly recommended!" isn't a good enough pitch? - Chris
@@JazzBums Maybe Chris - but you guys speak from a more neutral position (if I understand your question correct) 😊
I am joking. Chad says every record he is selling is highly recommended lol.
@@JazzBums Sorry I didn't get the joke in the first place 😁. I agree - and find Chad's videos increasingly difficult to watch (which I'd probably get a lot of flak for saying...).
But let move on.
With the Mercury & Emarcy OGs, the records with the blue labels tend to sound better than the dark grey/black label. I hope they do a good job on the Mingus and the Cannonball releases.
Might have to take the day off work when that Roy Haynes is finally in my clutches. Alice Coltrane is a go. I have the 45 Smokin at the half note but will get 33 (sell 45 if 33 matches sonics); same for Billie Holliday. Art is a go even though I have RSD mono (mono + stereo is the only way I do multiple copies of same album). Cannonball and Ella is a go. Oscar and Milt, will have to listen to first.
I'm not particularly excited for this entire list, as my tastes lie more in the late 50's-60's Post-Bop and Avant garde. That being said I am excited for a few titles, mainly the Alice Coltrane, Roy Haynes and Mingus titles.
I think there is more stuff I’ll get from Verve than from BN a this year.
Great track listing for the Billie Holiday, but not much more than 30 minutes of music.
