  1. Peggy Lee / June Christy... Mildred Bailey... ?
  2. I have 3.3 and you can print 50 sessions.
  3. You might want to try "Bremen to Bridgewater" a 2CD set and if interested go back in time via " Township Bop" By Chris McGregor and the Blue Notes
  4. Sweet Smell has been shown regularily this last month on Sundance or the IMC channel
  5. Thanks Jim..actually I orded from Stewarts site.. thought I'd direct the cash straight to him. I think they may have run out and had been waiting on a new pressing. Doesn't matter.. this is directed as a Christmas present now I gave my friend the HEP " Overdrive" which he liked a lot.. This I think, I hope, will be exactly what he is looking for.. my "aural " experience seemed to tally tour listing. about 80% of the time, based mainly on the 7 string involvement. I only had one other Taylor, one my friend dropped off, and other than his apearances on other albums.. ( that BG thing that started our exchanges) and Tubby Hayes 200% Proof, had no Stewart.. noe there are 5 CDs of his on my shelves.... migrating to the player often.. Louis owes you, I thank you.. but this acoustic set is an eye opener.. as I stated above.. People need to be aware of it Thanks again Jim
  6. Something you don’t get a lot of. Since Charlie Christian received B. G.’s blessing and Les Paul took a solid piece of wood to new heights, the use of the acoustic guitar in jazz has been relatively obscure. Charlie Byrd was it’s main champion for just about all of his career. And those pesky MTV- ites amazed the rockers with their “ Unplugged” sets.. none really that great. I have a friend who is a brilliant guitar player, had a reasonably successful time in the Rock world up and down the west coast, and today could be making good money in the local clubs if he hadn’t suddenly decided that he “really” wanted to play the guitar and turned to jazz.. he stops by frequently to listen to jazz from my collection.. I Love warping younger minds.. all jazz.. not just guitarists.. but obviously the latter take prime place. I spend a lot of time looking for “new” musicians that he might find interesting Which brings me to Jim R.. the boards chief supporter and promoter of Louis Stewart.. Jim gave me some recommendations for recordings that I could pass on to my friend. Took a long time to get these Jim.. the Jardis ones, but about a year after my order they showed up at my PO box. Played the quartets.. nice, but didn’t make me stop other things I was doing Last night, slipped the Louis Stewart / Martin Taylor Acoustic duets in the player, turned off the lights a prepared to doze off to some pleasant music. The cd opens with Pick Yourself Up , starts out with a pleasant rendition of the theme.. but then they get into it and hell it burns.. an almost 10 min version of Morning of the Carnival follows … same thing a relatively sedate, but exquisitely played thematic statement and then watch out!!!!! By the time they get into Billie’s Bounce, the fourth track out of 10 total it’s apparent that this is not music to fade out to never never land by… Apparently this track was absent from the LP ( I hope Jim R has the CD ) I stayed up all night listening to this thing.. It also became totally apparent that these two have taken acoustic jazz guitar, in a duet format to new heights.. and it was recorded about 20 years ago!!!!!!! The rhythm playing behind the soloists as they each take their turn is a lesson in the art of accompaniment The solos are not deliberate exhibitions of technique either, although the abilities displayed have a tendency to be jaw dropping So the question for Jim R is can he identify the solo sequences for me…? I am not familiar enough with either of the musicians to pick out favourite phrases etc… I actually don’t think that either of them are dropping cliches during any of these performances.. Also one of the rhythm guitarists plays some heavy bass lines.. it almost sounds like a trio record.. I’m assuming that , that is Taylor on a 7 string at least ( My friend is currently honing his 7 string skills…this will blow him away ) Guitarists and / or lovers of seriously well played improvisational; music that swings like crazy should go get this CD.. but beware.. it may have a Bennedetti effect on you plugged in guitar shredder wannabees….. be aware of Louis Stewart.. and Martin Taylor... Got to give a closer listen to those quartets .. if I can ever get this Duet disc out of the player....
  7. That's what I assumed, perhaps the later Hayes recording is a different tune, causing the error in Barbara's listing.
  8. on Alone Together.. recorded twice ( via Barbara) as part of a medeley in the Kirk set 23 june 1962.. so this is possibly not a Hayes tune. My booklet to the Kirk set was lost in a flood, thank the big Guy, the CDs were not and frankly I'm not that familiar with the standard, though I'm sure I have another version somewhere The other version is from 25 jan 1966 recorded by the Harry South big band.. Mercury MCL 20081 I do not have this record ( will happily take a tape or CDr if someone has... if Tubby solos on any of the tracks..) so I cannot attest to the authorship of the piece. I suspec t that Barbara may have been mistaken here. Discographical research is full of misleading dangers.. as you are no doubt aware.
  9. Now lets see what there is in Shawn Hannerty's file but at least.. let's be Fair and Balanced BTW someone told me its a $60,000,000.00 lawsuit, is that true?
  10. The listing for Inner Splurge is as follows THE JAZZ SCENE Intro Ronnie Scott Tubby Hayes Big Band..16 musicians at the Ronnie Scott Club Charles Fox Interviews Hayes recorded 24 August 1969 Broadcast 30 Sep 1969 Blues For Pipkins The Inner Splurge ( 5.51 ) Song For a Sad Lady (5.19 ) I Know You Care ( 5.29 ) Dear Johnny B ( 5.10 ) I Have " Inner Splurge" on the Master Mix CD date given as July 25 1969 Big band.. solos by Louis Stewart and Hayes. No Ronnie Ross.. Harry Klein has the baritone chair. This Cd no doubt came out after Barbara published... actually there are very few CD references in her discography.. most of the CD reissues of Tubby's recordings have been relatively recent.
  11. The list below is all the compositions gcredited to Tubby in Barbara's discography ( I hope she doesn't get mad at me for copying them, if she stumbles on this thread ) They are by year of composition and were all recorded at least once unless the comments after the title states otherwise. Obviously there have been releases since the disography was published so further recordings may have surfaced.. I have made my comments in italics. There is no trace of 200% Proof in the list The Storyville has as you point out another " Off the Wagon " Also C Minor Bird which could be his B Flat Mynah Bird but that is only a guess on my part I have no aural evidence. Compositions by Tubby Hayes 1956 No I Woodyn’t 1957 Eyden Seek Deb’s Delight I Keep thinking it is Thursday Plebus Royal Ascott The Serpent Through the Night Roared the Overland Express Vibe Rations 1958 After Tea Blues for those who thus desire Hook’s Way The Monk 1959 Blue Hayes Embers Supper at Phil’s The Late One 1960 R.T.H. Tubbsville 1961 Cool For 8 Down in the Village ( 1 plus two tv broadcasts ) Early Morning Afterthought (not recorded ) Half a Sawbuck In the Night ( 2 plus a tv broadcast ) Quintet Theme (2) Soho Soul Souriya (2) Southern Suite parts 1 & 2 Take Your Partners for the Blues ( not recorded ) The Chase my comment.. this might be Southern Suite part 1 The Soho Steamer ( not recorded ) 1962 Alone Together (2) As Close as you are ( not recorded ) Modes and Blues ( 1 plus 1 tv broadcast ) Octupel Blast ( not recorded .. but it was on the 200% Proof CD The Trumpets Have It ( not recorded ) Valves and Mallets ( not recorded ) 1963 Blue Flues (1 and 1 tv broadcast ) Blue Strings ( not recorded ) Don’t Fall Off the Bridge (2) Ricardo The Syndicate ( only on a tv broadcast ) 1964 Bailty’s Blues ( not recorded ) Lewis … ( not recorded ) Soft and Supple Tupa Voodoo ( only on a tv broadcast ) 1965 Blues for Pipkins ( 2 tv broadcasts only ) Change of Setting ( 1 plus 1 tv broadcast ) Commonwealth Blues ( tv broadcast only ) 100% Proof ( 2) Theme ( tv broadcast only ) Tubby’s Theme my comment .. I suspect this might be same tune as the above 1966 Everybody Split ( renamed A Dedication to Joy) A Taste of Money ( not recorded) Blues in Orbit Off the Wagon (2) Quedado ( not recorded ) The Second City Steamer When My Baby Gets Mad at Me 1967 Conversations at Dawn ( not recorded ) on the 200% Proof CD Dear Johnny B ( 1 and 1 tv broadcast ) Finky Minky For Members Only a second version on the 200% Proof CD Mexican Green My comment.. this is on the For Members Only CD so was recorded at least two times, and not only once as listed by Barbara Trenton Place 1968 Grits, beans and Greens ( not recorded ) But is on the 1969 live CD Song for a Sad Lady ( 1 plus 1 tv broadcast ) The Inner Splurge ( tv broadcast only ) 1969 Mainly for the Don ( not recorded ) on the Live 1969 CD Rumpus ( not recorded ) 1970 20 mins of music for a TV play..( Rest in Peace Uncle Fred by Alan Plater.. not recorded other than the show ) 1971 She insulted me in Marakesh ( not recorded ) Solweig 1972 B Flat Mynah Bird ( not recorded ) Capiscum ( not recorded ) Lady Celia ( not recorded ) Sienna Red ( not recorded ) Unexpected Pleasures ( not recorded ) Note, the BB software wouldn't accept my " Word"pacing so the list is not as elegant as I would have liked.
  12. The two versions of "Off the Wagon" I have are the same composition.. I don't have " Change Of Scene" Perhaps someone with the newer CD version of " For Members Only" and "Mexican Green" ( or better still the WRC.. wanna swap a CDR????) could cross check the compositions to see if they are indeed different. AS I noted my Master Mix "Members"lasts 70 mins , it has 12 tracks, the reissue claimed to have "new" music, but it too has only 12 music tracks, the extra appears to be the interview. The only difference is that one tune Off the Wagon lasts 6.15. This is not an earth shattering problem, but a discographical curiosity
  13. Schwartz lists Hayes compositions.. Change of Setting is listed as one of them.. according to her he only recorded it twice.. the Gonsalves date, and a tv show fromSep 2 1965, but the discography was published 1990, and although she sent me some extra info, I don't think it is up to date. My " For Members" is the earlier one without ' Change" or the Hunph interview. It plays for 70 mins, so the extra track, plus the interview can't be more than about 8 mins. there is a track called " Off the Wagon", which is not on the reissue disk, Schwartz also credits this as a Hayes composition. I don't have the Gonsalves, or the TV date, and therefore have no idea about the format of " Change".. never heard it.. Could it be possible that " Change" and " Off " are the same tune.. but titled differently?
  14. And the Hawkins / Terry date had Major Holley and Dave Bailey to complete the rhythm section. This and the Sweets / Webster are both good sessions, but yes Dan, I think they were " Let's go in the Studio and cut an album dates" I doubt that there is anything extra from these dates.. but Mosaic has surprised me before.
  15. Forgot the Burrell From ’61 A series of sessions Illinois Jacquet, Hank Jones, Major Holley, Osie Johnson Followed by same with Jimmy Crawford on drums Then a set with Eddie Bert, Hank Jones, George Duvivier, Louis Hayes Finally another quartet with Leo Wright, Jack McDuff, and Joe Dukes drums. This amounts to 9 tracks total Although the recent CD issue Moten Swing, about a year or two ago, expanded the music to18 tracks via a couple of unissued tunes, and unissued alternates of most of the original tracks
  16. Braff had three record dates from this period that were issued on Phillips / Epic June 26, ’56 Quartet date with Dave McKenna, Steve Jordan and Buzzy Drootin June 28 ’56 Lawrence Brown, Coleman Hawkins, Ernie Caceras, Don Elliot ( on vibes ), Nat Pierce, Freddie Green, Ed Jones, Buzzy Drootin Four tracks only July 10, ’56 Sextet with Pierce, Elliott, Green, Jones and Drootin 14 tracks in all, 15 if you include a second take on Moonglow 12 of these were issued on the Braff! Cd I think there may be some confusion here, although I believe that someone reported a completely unissued Braff session promised as part of the set. Buck Clayton With Maelowe Morris Probably the quartet set from ’53 Jerome Dar gtr, Les Erskine drms Buck Clayton Special From ’58 Vic Dickenson, Buddy Tate, Dick Katz, Walter Page, Bobby Donaldson Bit of a rare one, I haven’t seen this around very often Herb Ellis.. Midnight Roll Two groups, three sessions Frank Asunto (tpt) Buddy Tate, Ray Bryant,, Jimmy Rouser ( bs) though Israel Crosbys substitutes on one track.. Gus Johnson They contributed 7 tracks to the LP, not all musicians play on every track The final four tracks had Roy Eldridge , Tate, Bryant, Crosby and Johnson My copy is beaten up.. will be nice to have a cleaned up CD. I am familiar with all the records except the Clayton Special, and as I said above, I think that there is some confusion as to the braff as tracks from his sets were issued both on Phillips and Epic.
  17. Did you see the bit in this month's Downbeat... Johnny Smith has new contract with Guild There will be 18 guitars hand signed by him...$11,000.00 each Oh.... and you get a hand signed copy of his Mosaic set too. Now that's an expensive mosaic set...
  18. according to the Tubby Hayes discography by Barbara Schwartz, Tubbs did two record dates with Gonsalves.. I always used to think there was only one, the one on Columbia.. I believe the title was " Just Friends" " Change of Setting" was a World Record Club issue WRC was a mail order label in Britain.. I don't think they sold to the world. They started off with some marginal issues, but I bought them as the records were fairly inexpensive, and I didn't have much access to a great deal of jazz. Just about all their issues were rehashes of albums drom other companies. Later they got into some verves.. I remember the Gillespie / Stuff Smith issue.. it totally turned me on to Smith.( I still have that piece of vinyl.. plus some Lionel Hamptons) I find it surprising that the " Change of Setting" album was only issued on the WRC label. The number of copies must have been relatively small.. Unfortunately it came out in '65... the year I left England for the USA so I , having given up my WRC subscription, did not get nor was aware of the record. One sold on Ebay fairly recently, well in excess of $100.00 if I remember correctly.. too much for me to pay for used vinyl Now perhaps if we whisper in Lonehill's ear.. both the sets with Gonsalves would make nice " bootleg".. They could call it " The Jack Sharpe Sessions"
  19. But do you tilt you ear on or off the beat...?? I'm an OF I know .. but most of those " gateway" recordings sound like 'exit signs " to me....
  20. Yeah I saw that.. typical Lonehil "titling" The John Graas project I don't think he was responsible for, nor is he on all of the Jazz Studio dates.. though it's a bit more accurate than the complette Paul Desmond at the college ....... or whatever the Brubeck issue was called. Or the Coltrane one.... Still for all the crap they pull, you have to admit they are putting some very hard to find albums on the market at reasonable prices, also it seems at an extremely fast pace
  21. O.K. I just checked my email and there was one from Fresh Sounds.. New Issues.. The Jazz Labs are on Lonehill.. released this month.. I assume the Jazz Studios are too.. maybe that's in the second message, I thought they were duplicates... according to the email all 6 of the Jazz Studio series are available on 3 separate CDs under John Graas' name.
  22. The guitarist on '1" is definitely Johnny Smith..
  23. The above would have been the second post.. slow typer but I can't find them on the Fresh Sounds site.. I know of the Millman How are the others listed.. under Jazz Studio, or a specific artists name.. the Burns doesn't show up under his listings. Same goes for the Jazz Lab series Anybody got a way of pulling these up on the Fresf Sounds site?
  24. I've gone on about these for many a thread. Especially Jazz Studio one. This is a typical Jam Session type set Joe Newman, Bennie Green,Pault Quinichette, Frank Foster, Hank Jones, Sir Johnathon Gasser ( Johnny Smith) Ed Jones, Kenny Clarke Tenderley. Let's Split if you like the Buck Clayton sets you'll like these They were recently released by Ocium as Let's Split The tracks are short for a CD, they were one track per side of an LP Ocium filled the CD out with two of Norman Granzs jams The rest of the Jazz Studio series departed from the jam session format and were more in the style of west Coast Jazz "experimental Jazz Jazz Studio 2 wasDon Fagerquist,Milt Bernhardt,John Graas,Herb Geller, Jimmy Giuffre,Marty Paich, Howaed Roberts, Curtis Counce, Larry Bunker Laura Here Come the Lions Paicheck Graas Point Darn that Dream Do it Again All musicians do not solo on every track Jazz Studio 3 Was a Graas led date, recorded with different combinations of the musicians involved Don Fagerquist, Gerry Mulligan, Johnh Graas, Marty Paich, Howard Roberts, Red Mitchell, Larry Bunker Mulliganesue 7/4 and Even a Mulligan " quartet from above, plays My Buddy Conte Candoli, John Graas, Zoot Sims, Charlie Mariano, Andre Preven, Howard Roberts, Red Mitchell,Larry Bunker Jazz selections from Symphony in F minor Sonata Allegro Scherzo then Rogeresque 12th st Rag without Zoot and Graas. Jazz Studio 4 was the Jack Millman set A set of different sessions featuring 24 different west coast / studio musicians in variuos group sizes. Too much variety in group size etc. for my one finger typing Milman was a trumpet player, composer.. I always feel that these sessions were funded by himself to promote his music and a bilities I did a thread on AAJ called " You Don't Know Jack" and will try to get a link These tracks were issued on a Fresh Sounds CD under Millman's name Jazz Studio 5 Was the Ralph Burns showcase Joe Newman, Jimmy Giuffre, Ralph Buffington ( fr hrn)Dave Schildkraut, Herbie Mann, Danny Bank, Ralph Burns,Milt Hinton, Osie Johnson, Bill Barber ( tuba) Cool Cat on a Hot Tin Roof What Am I Here For, Jazz Club USA I'll Be Around Royal Garden Blues Nocturne South Gonsales St. Parade Jazz Studio 6 was an usual one, it might not have been intended to be part of the series.. different artwork on the sleeve it was the David Amram, George Barrow,Arthur Phipps,Al harewood quartet This one I don't have, it's relatively rare. . I passed up a copy at a record show for $10.00.. the guy on the booth had left and I didnlt want to hang around, thinking I'd catch him next time around.. the album was really not that sought after..selling for $10.0 - $12 on Ebay... except it was featured in a recent Downbeat Vinyl Collector column and the most recent one on Ebay just sold for over $100 so much for the power of the press. The music, other than that on "1" is definitely for those interested in the west coast school of thought. It would be nice to have these in good CD issue, but generally the cost of Japanese issues ( plus I hate their LP style packaging) will probably not induce me to replace my CDr's at present. No doubt Ocium will offer additions to their reissue program.
  25. Soon to be reissued by the real bastards.. verve Black Coffee, the original was an 8 tune 10" Lp this has been padded out by 4 extra tracks that were recorded to supplement the original LP when 12" became the standard vinyl format The 'new" tracks are good but the original 8 are absolute musts for Lee followers You get up tempo swingers My Heart Belongs to Daddy I've Got you Under My Skin I Didn't Know What Time Love me or Leave Me and sultry moody pieces Black Coffee A woman alone With the Blues Easy Living When the World was Young Her version of When the World sounds like she had already lived her life through, even though the album was the first recorded under her own name. There have been various Lee comps, titled Black Coffee, and songs from the album placed in others.. but I'm not sure if any give you all 8 songs. The quartet led by "Cootie Chesterfield".. yes I know who that is, makes this a solid jazz recording. The 12" album was released with " Sea Shells", which I think was her final Decca album on a British MCA 2 LPs one CD issue in 1998.. Amazon has new and used from about $10.0 Sea Shells is a bit of a strange one.. probably for Lee collectors only, but it does have the sexiest childrens song ever.. I Don't Want To Play In Your Yard
