Impulse Buys Abound from UMe

July 26, 2011 By Mike Duquette Leave a Comment

Universal Music Group got off to a great start anthologizing the deep catalogue of Impulse! Records with a four-disc box set from Hip-o Select earlier this year. Today, that catalogue is revisited yet again, in the form of 28 albums from the jazz label's catalogue collected as two-on-one discs.

The titles are pretty diverse, collecting sets from Duke Ellington, McCoy Tyner, Alice Coltrane, Art Blakey, Sonny Rollins, Milt Jackson and others.

A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, holding positions at Legacy Recordings and Rhino Records and contributing to Allmusic, Discogs, City Pages, Ultimate Classic Rock and Mondo Records, for whom he penned liner notes for his favorite piece of music: John Williams' Oscar-winning score to 'E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with his wife, a cat named Ravioli, twin daughters and a large yet tasteful collection of music.

    Good stuff. Any idea regarding what masters where used? I assume from whenever the last time each disc was remastered (if that indeed occurred in each case)?

      I've got a couple of these titles now; they're actually imports, made in the EU. New remastering is credited to Eastside Mastering Studios in Berlin; Matthias Kunnecke and Douglas Payne are producing the series. The eight-page booklets reprint the front, back and gatefolds of the original LPs, but there are no new liner notes - only composer credits and catalogue information. Still, the uniform design is rather nice.

    Does anyone know which of these are on CD for the first time? I know Ayler's last album is for sure (outside Japan, anyway).
