	"The Inimitable Teddy Edwards" which was a Xanadu (#134) record. I really like Edwards and have heard much of what he recored - this record is the best he did by my ears. Also, on the record is Duke Jordon, Larry Ridley, and Freddie Waits. Not only does Edwards hit another level but the band is a joy. I hope this is on the way to being reissued. Let me know if anyone hears about this!

	Columbia Records released a 2LP set (#C2 35381) entitled: "I Remember Bebop" some years ago. I've been hoping, I guess so far in vain, for it to be released on CD. The lineup is incredible with Al Haig, Duke Jordan, John Lewis, Sadik Hakim, Walter Bishop, Barry Harris, Tommy Flanagan, and Jimmy Rowles. They each play a few cuts, choosing a theme "Al Haig plays Dizzy Gillespie" - each pianist taking a bebop composer. The album is as good as it sounds. Hope someone from Columbia is listening!!

Also, on the record is Duke Jordon, Larry Ridley, and Freddie Waits. Not only does Edwards hit another level but the band is a joy.> Ned, "The Inimitable Teddy Edwards" exists in CD form. It has been released by Xanadu in France in the name of pianist Duke Jordan, along with "Brooklyn Brothers", by Cecil Payne & Duke Jordan. I bought it some two years ago at Virgin Megastore, in New York. The CD edition has a new title: "Duke Jordan with Cecil Payne & Teddy Edwards" (Xanadu 151792) Tracks from "Brooklyn Brothers": I Should Care / Egg Head / Jordu / Jazz Vendor / Cu-Ba / I Want To Talk About You / No Problem. With Duke Jordan (piano), Cecil Payne (Baritone sax and flute), Sam Jones (bass) and Al Foster (drums). Recorded March 16, 1973. Tracks from "The Inimitable Teddy Edwards": Sunset Eyes / That Old Black Magic / Mean To Me / Imagination / One On One / Stella by Starlight. With Teddy Edwards (tenor sax), Duke Jordan (piano), Larry Ridley (bass) and Freddie Waits (drums). Recorded June 25, 1976. I agree with you, Teddy Edwards play great as ever. I have some of his records, incuding "Teddy's Ready" (Contemporary, now on Original Jazz Classics series) and "Sunst Eyes" (Pacifc Jazz). Duke Jordan is one of my long standing favorites since his Charlie Parker days. I had the great fortune to hear Duke Jordan with Parker in August 1954 at Birdland and it was one of the highlights of my life. That night changed my whole life concerning music and jazz. I'll never forget that wonderful night. José I hope this is on the way to being reissued. Let me know if anyone hears about this!

	The guitarists Chuck Wayne and Joe Puma released a duet album with Choice Records called "Interactions." This is an extraordinary album with long flowing solo lines and intricate, subtle accompaniements (in short, a Chuck Wayne album). It would be wonderful if the album was remastered and released on CD. I think it came out in the early 1970s. This is my favorite jazz guitar album.

	Hey Emily, I agree with you comments about Wayne/Puma Interactions- certainly one of the greatest guitar albums ever. By the way, in the miraculous event that it does get reissued on CD, then by all means, it should be re-mastered so that the Wayne's recording level is bumped up. The fact that such a poor recording job was done on such masterful music compounds the tragedy of it not being more widely available. While we are at it, oney a tiny percentage of what is in turrn a tragically short Chuck Wayne discography has ever made it from vinyl to CD. Heck, the vinyl hardly ever made it into the stores! There can be no complete or meaningful aural history of jazz guitar, unless these find their way onto reissued CD: Chuck Wayne: "String Fever", VIK LX-1098 The first ever recording of a modern jazz guitar player with big band (all arrangements by Chuck Wayne) awesome band- feauring the likes of Eddie Costa on piano and Gene Quill on alto sax (these guys should be at the top of the "underrated" thread.) Great tunes, and surprise, an incredible engineering job VIK was a subsidiary of RCA Victor and it sounds as if they spent the bucks on this one!). THIS IS A NATURAL FOR CD! Chcuk Wayne: Morning Mist: Prestige 7367 One of the finest jazz guitar trio albums ever w/Joe Williams on bass and Ronnie Bedford on drums. (By the way, the infrequently recorded bassist Williams - not to be confused with his nameskae vocalist- deserved to be much more widely heard. Ronnie Bedford may well be the most underrated drummer of all time. This one is a real winner AND it is an incredible session, engineered by none other than Rudy Vn Gelder. Chuck Wayne: "Tapestry" Focus FM333 This one, another utterly masterful trio recording, issued in mono, with the utterly and unjustly obscure bassist Ernie Furtado and drummer Jimmy Campbell. This record got some short lived notoriety since it features a Wayne arrangement of Greensleeves which he performs on the six string banjo. Ironically, Wayne's flirting with the banjo earned him more notice than his masterful, brilliant, guitar work!. Despite being issued in mono this is a wonderful recording which would sound great on CD!). Hey- all of this and a re-issue of Interactions would probably fit on a 2-CD set. But what a mighty important set it would be!

	Jazz guitarist Jerry Hahn has a great CD from '95 on the Enja label, "Time Changes", and is featured on two Koch releases by The John Handy Quintet from '66. His '73 album "Moses" on Fantasy Records remains unreleased on CD and that is a shame. It is very electric with his wah-wah and Merle Saunders synth, but the harmonies are timeless and his playing is almost unbelievable. Find a vinyl copy if you can, if you can't, write Fantasy, Berkeley Ca., and ask them to do us all a favor and release it on CD. cd

	One record I would like to have in CD is the first Clifford Brown-Max Roach recorded in concert for the Gene Norman Presents label. Aside the leaders, the group line-up was Teddy Edwards (tenor sax), Carl Perkins (piano) and George Bledsoe (drums). In the 10 inch LP there is a sensational introduction for the members of the quintet where each musician improvises some bars. One interesting thing is that bassist Bledsoe plays the first ten notes of the Brazilian national anthem, what obviously was a big coincidence. The introduction spoken first by Gene Norman and then by Max Roach calling each musician has been ommited in the 12 inch release. Anyone knows if this album has been released in CD ?

	In this thread(June)Hardbop, indicated he was hoping Miroslav Vitous' Infinite Search would be released on CD. Mountain in the Clouds (1972) was originally released as Infinite Search and besides Miroslav Vitous personnel includes: John McLaughlin, Herbie Hancock, Joe Henderson, Joe Chambers & Jack Dejohnette. Collectable records released a 2'fer recently: "Tones For Joan's Bones/Mountain in The Clouds - Chick Corea / Miroslav Vitous". These are two separate recordings that have two things in common, they are both great sessions with dynamite playing from stellar performers and they are both produced by Herbie Mann. The Chick Corea - Tones For Joan's Bones (1968) includes: Joe Farrell, Woody Shaw, Steve Swallow & Joe Chambers (Wow). Both sessions are as good as one would think given the personnel. The release on CD appears to be of good technical quality to this jazz fan's ears.

Bud Shank and his Brazilian Friends with Joao Donato. Came out originally on Pacific Jazz in the early 1960s (I'm guessing...there's no date on the album cover). Ranks right up there with that other well-known Bossa Nova-Jazz pairing. Gerry Mulligan and the Concert Jazz Bank at the Village Vanguard. A terrific line-up, great selection of songs, major label release(Verve), and well-engineered live recording. Yet somehow this has not been issued on cd. I keep hopin', and checkin.'

	On one hand, I have an LP called "Compadres" by Dave Brubeck and Gerry Mulligan which is very good, but out of print. I'd like to see that in print. Most of the few recordings that Abbey Lincoln did after "Straight Ahead", in the 60's and early 70's, are out of print. Also, a lot of 60's/70's avant-guarde is out of print. This includes albums by Grachan Moncur III, Joe Chambers and Andrew Hill (too many to list.

	Someone mentioned Gabor Szabo. It's inexplicable that "High Contrast" (original recording of Bobby Womack's "Breezin'" with Bobby himself on rhythm guitar) and "Rambler" are currently unavailable when a weak album like "Gabor Szabo 1969" is inprint. I also have two other good albums by Szabo, "Mizrab" and "Magical Connection", on currently irreplaceable old vinyl. "Jazz Messengers '70" is not the best live album ever released under that band's name, but it's certainly worth re-releasing. It's the first Jazz Messengers album I bought and fell in love with, so it has sentimental value to me. The worst Jazz Messengers recording beats the best pop record currently on the charts anyday.

	Please, Please !!!!!!!!!!!!!!sombody release Chick Corea's MAD HATTER, and SECRET AGENT on CD....or email me and tell me where i can get my hands on them. At these periods in Mr. Corea's carreer he (in my opinion) was cutting his own path into the jazz/fusion culture, and he was also playing with some of the greates muscians alive at that point..... Also Elements (Danny Gottleib and Mark Egan )Their first 2 releases on Island records, these in my opinion are two of the greatest Fusion albums of all time.

	the whole HORO catalog! That Italian label has great stuff from Steve Lacy, Sun Ra, Ran Blake, Sam Rivers, Don Pullen, David Murray, and many others in the advant-garde tradition I'd also like to see some of the early 70s RCA/Novus stuff from Ran Blake and Muhal Richard Abrams released

	Charles Lloyd - Montreux (1982) AMG EXPERT REVIEW: Charles Lloyd came out of isolation and retirement in 1982 due to the persuasion of the then-unknown pianist Michel Petrucciani. As can be heard on this concert LP from the 1982 Montreux Jazz Festival, Lloyd's styles and sounds on tenor and flute were unchanged from his glory days in the 1960s. Petrucciani (at that point more influenced by Bill Evans than he would be) was already a monster, while bassist Palle Danielsson and drummer Son Ship Theus are stimulating in support. Lloyd performs three of his newer originals, Bill Evans' "Very Early," and a long remake of his famous hit "Forest Flower." Throughout, Charles Lloyd shows that he was still in his prime. This excellent music will hopefully be reissued on CD. -- Scott Yanow

	Cannonball Adderley - Fiddler on the Roof Date of Release Oct 19, 1964 - Oct 21, 1964 (recording) AMG EXPERT REVIEW: It is a bit strange that none of the eight songs performed on this LP found their way into Adderley's permanent repertoire for the altoist is quite inspired throughout this surprising set. With strong assists from cornetist Nat Adderley, Charles Lloyd on tenor and flute, pianist Joe Zawinul, bassist Sam Jones and drummer Louis Hayes, Cannonball plays near his peak; this is certainly the finest album by this particular sextet. -- Scott Yanow You don't have to be Jewish to enjoy this great music!

	Gabor Szabo Live Date of Release 1972 - 1973 AMG EXPERT REVIEW: Features Szabo where he shone brightest -- live. Good performances of reliable staples: "People," "Stormy" and, of course, "Spellbinder." "Sombrero Sam" features a brief, welcome reunion with Charles Lloyd. Not available on CD. -- Douglas Payne

	Now that the technology is available and affordable to the consumer, I'm planning to start transferring my collection of great out-of-print albums to CD via my computer. I'd be willing to send a copy to anyone who'll re-imburse me for the blank CD and shipping costs. The tragic truth is that the owners of the rights to these recordings may never think it will be profitable enough to be worth re-releasing this stuff. Maybe some of you can do the same and we can trade. As long as you're not actually selling the music, and no one else is, this should be legal. It's just giving someone else an off-site backup to store for you. If the record companies have a problem with it, they should just re-release it! I'd gladly pay full price to hear this great music digitally re-mastered to CD from the original tapes.

	Another classic lost to history! Larry Coryell - Splendid Date of Release: 1978 (recording) Genre: Jazz Styles: Post-Bop, Fusion Time: 39:39 AMG EXPERT REVIEW: The companion to Twin House proves to be just as good as the first. This session is a bit more experimental than the first and includes the always reliable Joachim Kuhn on piano ("Dues Xango"). Like their first effort, it is not just their remarkable technique that makes this a worthy effort, but also the energetic compositions. Splendid is just as good, if not better, than Twin House, hence, both are recommended. -- Robert Taylor Philip Catherine:Guitar (Electric), Guitar (12 String) Larry Coryell:Synthesizer, Bass, Guitar, Keyboards, Guitar (12 String) Joachim Kühn:Piano Sigfried Loch: Producer Thomas Kuckuck: Engineer 1976 LP Elektra 52086

	Oregon: Our First Record Date of Release: 1970 (recording) AMG EXPERT REVIEW: The acoustic band Oregon shocked and surprised the jazz world when they debuted in 1970. They blended many influences and styles easily, but also had an ambitious improvisational bent that made them tough to characterize. This in many ways remains their most intriguing release. -- Ron Wynn And you'll only hear it on vinyl, if you can find a copy!

	There is no question that the following records should have been released on cd by now : Julian Priester Pepo Mtoto : Love Love ( which, by the way, I happen to know might not be released by ECM at all, so snap up your vinyl copies now ) David Axelrod : Seriously Deep ( The common denominator of these records is that Ndugu plays the drums on both, although Eric Gravatt also plays on Love Love - he is in my opinion one of the best drummers ever as well as Harvey Mason )All the other Dave Axelrod albums have been released on vinyl or cd - why haven't Polydor done something about this - Seriously Deep is probably his best album. Another suggestion : The Spook Who Sat By The Door ( soundtrack by Herbie Hancock, Todd Cochran ( bayete ) etc has never been released at all, since the film was banned. I don't know how to get in contact with Herbie's manager - I wish I did, because BMG are not interested in this soundtrack and the masters may have been temporarily misplaced. I would love to talk to Herbie's manager to get this soundtrack sorted - it would be the best soundtrack ever - there is NO question about it
