A little on Jazzland/Orpheum:
Vinyl: Jazzland JLP 933
Second issue by Orpheum Productions, some of whose output is fairly acceptable, though by no means all. The assets of Riverside, which included the Jazzland label, were managed briefly through Orpheum Productions after the financial collapse of Riverside in mid 1964, shortly after the death in late 1963 of Bill Grauer, joint founder of the label. Eventually, ABC Records took over and re-launched Riverside in the mid-late ’60s, so these Orpheum reissues are solidly mid ’60s vintage pressings, and everything that goes with that.
Orpheum had access to all the original recordings, and I would expect them to be sourced from original masters, though how this one compares with original release is not known to me. Both US Riverside and Jazzland label originals can be variable in quality, some fine, others can be a bit shrill, stodgy, noisy, or all three at once. Whether this is down to the original recording engineer, mastering or pressing is unclear, but Orpheum merely worked with what they had. They are relatively inexpensive, not especially rare, and often a good alternative for titles that are both rare and expensive.
