Thanks to a note from Laser Ken, the much loved German jazz label MPS is getting back to CD reissues, after a 2-3 year hiatus. Looks like Volker Kriegel's "Lift" and "Missing Link" are out and a couple of more are coming ("Octember Variations" and "Tropical Harvest").
Tom,
ReplyDeleteIsn't MPS and Promising Music one and the same? I got their latest newsletter and they announced two new albums, one by JLPonty and one by Don "Sugarcane" Harris. They called it the Hot Rats Connection.
All the best,
Eddie

Forgot to mention the albums:
ReplyDeleteJEAN-LUC PONTY EXPERIENCE - “Open Strings”
and
DON "SUGARCANE" HARRIS - “Cup Full of Dreams”
Just an attempt to post the link to the Promising Music website:

Hi Eddie,
ReplyDeleteYes, Promising Music is the company behind the MPS reissues. Depending on where you buy them, you will see either name. Dusty Groove refers to them simply as MPS. Thanks for the other updates!

These are released by Universal Germany which still owns the majority of the MPS catalogue (and have reissued quite a few MPS titles by themselves).
ReplyDeleteMost of the Promising releases are licensed from Universal except Et Cetera - Knrisch which the right have been owned by the family of the original owner of the MPS.
