I think the organissimo members have a right to see this right here!!!

Sex Machine and Cold Sweat, Papa's Got A Brand New Bag - so many of them are great.

Got it today, very nice. About LP size, but they poked a hole in at the top for hanging up, so if you want to frame a page, you have to use a black background sheet. Freddie Hubbard, Baby Face Willette, Horace Silver, Sam Rivers, McCoy Tyner, Grant Green/Hank Mobley/Wynton Kelly, Ron Carter, Grachan Moncur III, Sam Jones (!!!), Lou Donaldson, Hank Mobley (the Soul Station cover photo!!!) and Blue Mitchell/Chick Corea. Great choices, besides the January page - there are better photos of Freddie Hubbard by Francis Wolff! - I have nothing to complain: I recommend it.

Not to mention Milt Hinton and Ray Brown ....

I too notified them about the error and was sent a corrected copy soon after. They had mistakenly used the master tape for the twofer Lp issue Groove Brothers. The same batch of issues had a Mongo Santamaria twofer CD with two tracks omitted, don't know if this was corrected. The recent CD issue of Herbie Mann's Great Ideas of Western Mann had a wrong bonus track at first: instead of the one track from that session issued on the Blues ForTomorrow anthology they used the title track of that album; this has been corrected, and again I was sent a replacement copy without hesitation. Terry Hinte of Fantasy assured me they take every possible precaution to avoid these errors, but they keep creepin' in at the most unexpected places. Don't be pickin' on Fantasy alone, Blue Note ain't any better: Besides the mixed up credits on the Clifford Brown Memorial Album CD, they forgot to list one alternate take from the Howard McGhee - Fats Navarro session on the respective CD issue, and on the Connoisseur 10" series Frank Foster - George Wallington CD they forgot to list one alternate take from the Wallington session that was on the CD. The first copy of the Three Sounds Lighthouse CD I bought had an entirely different pop album on the CD - the label showed Three Sounds etc.!!! Don't know about Early Art. But I suspect this could be an error that was on the original LP; there was a discussion of this regarding the tune titlings on the Thad Jones United Artists LP when they prepared the Thad Jones Mosaic box set - this may have happened more often than we would like to think. One example: When Monk recorded a new tune for a Riverside in San Francisco, the engineer (or Keepnews) asked him for a title, and he mumbled " ...worry later", which they wrote down as the title - it was San Francisco Holiday. I always thought the titles on one of some pieces of Lucky Thompson's ABC LP 111, reissed on an Impulse CD, are incorrect. It includes two tunes, Deep Passion, but that melody was recorded by the Oscar Pettiford Orchestra on ABC as A Lady's Vanity - which also is on the Thompson, but as Deep Passion. The latter tune is a themeless improvisation on the chord changes of Body and Soul that would fit the title Deep Passion much better, this have been a reversal of tunes, but since both are track 4 on the LP sides, all titles for both sides could have been reversed or even mixed up ... I have some more LPs were labels were mixed up, but am too lazy to pick them out...

Is that a reissue of the Paper Man album or unreleased material? Maybe he should start a subscritption to raise the necessary funds.

If anyone got a negative impression of this disc from my posts, please take the time and give it a listen and decide for yourselves. Vitous is one of my favourite bassists, I guess I just expected some more fireworks from this disc. It's great to hear Garbarek's take on the blues - I like him more on this disc than ever before. I once hit random play, and it worked wonders, started with the duo track, and then all the trios, the quartets and quintet last - that sounds better to me. I would have preferred Hancock over Corea.

... and this is the best of Wes' organ trio albums, IMO:

... and Melvin Rhyne's are too! - He had Peter Bernstein on most, but also did records with Herb Ellis, Ronald Muldrow, Bobby Broom and Royce Campbell since 1990. ... and some more!

Pros: Some organ specialists incl. the host would make this special Cons: Could look too specialist for newbies. Couldn't we try it, and if it doesn't work, integrate the thread into the artists or miscellaneous music forums? Basically, I'm fer it too!

Mine was just shipped by Amazon Germany.

Anyone got a pic of her Minor Music CD Between Two Kings? Can't find one on the web.

The Grant Green Goin' West also seems to be new to US CD. With Herbie Hancock, Reggie Workman and Billy Higgins this looks nice to me. Have Silver's Soul Sister only on LP, this may come on my list too.

AMG says it was Blue Note LP 84141 with Donald Bailey, Lou Donaldson and Quentin Warren, from 1963, his next to last LP before he signed with Verve. Sounds interesting enough. Don't know if I will buy any of the others, I'm not an upgrade fanatic.

As far as I can see that Jimmy Smith Rockin' the Boat is the only not yet on US CD. What disc is this, can it be recommended?

Here's what I use for skin care, the smell is called Wild Utah : I use their pre-shave lotion which is meant for manual shave, but I use a probably twenty year old electric shaver that simply won't give up, replaced the blades once, that's it. If I shave manual I look like a freshly skinned lobster. Use their tonic after shaving, smells very nice. That's for the face, that is.

But this tasteless little ditty beats all the sh.. at the covina well website:

So you want to say this will NOT be an unforgettable encounter?!?!

Will take some time before I buy one of her CDs, they're expensive over here, 23 to 24 EUROs! But she has a nice website. This "chick" has been on the scene for some time!

Haven't heard her yet, but with these sidemen, there should be something to it:

This board will ruin my slipping budget line! I remember buying Freeman's Atlantic LP 'cause Rahsaan produced it, and encountered one of the most original tenor sounds of all time! Later bought the two Nessa LPs, they're great - a belated thanks to Chuck is in order! Happy Birthday Von Freeman!

Bob Belden would be the first to come to my mind, if he still is in the reissue business. Anybody got his e-mail adress? Or Michael Cuscuna, how about a Mosaic box set with the title (and respective contents) The Complete Columbia Live Recordings of the Don Ellis Orchestra? :tup

For completeness, if we start listing Hutchserson's dates with flute tracks, the Connoisseur CD Patterns with James Spaulding deserves a mention. He is also on the 1989 Hutcherson Landmark CD Ambos Mundos - flute only, and Roger Glenn on second flute -, which to me was a great disappointment.

This would confrim my impression that Mclaughlin and Corea sound somewhat like they are still looking for their place in the music, and Corea does not really sound connected to the rhythm beneath him. Seems like a lost chance, under these circumstances a trio record with Vitous, Garbarek and DeJohnette would have yielded music of greater potential - once they cut loose ...

Moody recorded two albums in Paris in July, 1951 for Vogue, one with strings, which was licensed by Blue Note, and one with a quintet. As far as I know both were not among those reissued by BMG France.
