I hope they get on that real soon so it does indeed go into production next year.

"DeAnna said no one has come forward yet to release and market the Lester Young recording, but the Library will make a digital master to preserve the sounds from the fragile lacquer discs."
With the
EU's copyright laws only covering
50-years....you probably won't be pulling out that
chili anytime soon.
Thankfully, the
Monk/
Coltrane at
Carnegie Hall recording occurred in
1957, or that wouldn't have been released by
Blue Note.
No label is going through the hassel and cost of dealing with any
Estates of the musicians involved and all that goes into releasing a
CD....not when a label in
Europe can take that
CD and burn a copy and do their own remastering (so they can't be sued for using the exact same release) and release it without any of those other expenses.
