Three more apparently never issued on CD: Joe Williams - Worth Waiting For Jimmy McGriff - Something to Listen To Jack McDuff - To Seek A New Home All of those are Liberty era releases, I'm shocked that the Japanese never got the McGriff and McDuff reissued.

What's the story on that one and that record company (looks like primarily an R&B label, including releasing Swamp Dogg's 'Total Destruction of Your Mind')? Was that Turrentine just in between BN and CTI, or was it some sort of rejected session. It looks/sounds like first cousin to his final BN albums, 'The Look of Love' and 'Always Something There'. While far from essential, it's not terrible.

Eddie Gomez maybe?

Mack Avenue has posted the entire albums on Youtube: Vick

That's a nice collection of odds and ends. I believe all the cuts ended up being bonus cuts on other HS CD's.

They sound good to me, but I don't have high-end equipment.

Marvelous talent, RIP. I believe I saw him live with Miles Davis at the Tower Theatre ca. 1973, but hard to say, since Miles didn't make any stage announcements and I was very new to jazz at the time.

I got mine from Amazon, $5.99 I believe, thought I don't see a direct link to it out there any more. But you can get to it through bluenote.com, which I did not realize.

I mentioned that yesterday. That was 60's Pacific Jazz material reissued on BN. Also 60's Pacific Jazz material reissued by BN in the 70's. BN does have some downloads available. I own at least one, the Freddie Roach discussed here. Agreed on the Left Bank material!

I wish they would at least make a DL of it available!

Understood. But those are 1960's BN, so it's the collector/completist in me, rather than the music lover in me, that would buy it. Someone else on the board said that the Burrell isn't so hot either, less than the sum its parts.

I forgot these two: Kenny Burrell - Freedom. Only released in Japan on LP, no CD release. Blue Mitchell - Collision in Black, no CD release. I'd buy these on CD.

+1

Mileston Two great LP's that have mystifyingly never seen CD reissue: Gary Bartz 'Home' on Milestone and Sonny Simmons 'Rumasuma' on Contemporary.

Yes, I own it on CD. I also own it, but have (except the one session I mention) and prefer the individual sessions on single CD's. I own the Japanese Santos CD's. Discogs shows 2013 Japanese Minasi CD's.

This is the only one I can think of which I much care about. There are also some other Butler-era albums which have not seen CD, I believe, but can't think of any others I care about: https://www.discogs.com/master/888469-The-New-Heritage-Keyboard-Quartet-The-New-Heritage-Keyboard-Quartet There are a couple of really good Jackie McLean sessions which came out in the 70's twofer series which I believe have only shown up on Mosaic's not on standalone CD's: The April 12, 1966 session from this, only on the McLean Mosaic on CD: https://www.discogs.com/master/114694-Jackie-McLean-Jacknife The February 3, 1967 session from this, only on the Moncur Select on CD: https://www.discogs.com/release/1251655-Jackie-McLean-Hipnosis

I liked the McCoy's and liked his work on 'Johnny Winter And'. RIP.

31 minute EP available free for streaming and minimal cost for download from Amazon, youtube, and other streaming platforms. Incredibly moving performance of four songs and two spoken intros.

I get HG's point. He is truly deep and contradictory in many ways - very human. I have 80-90 % of his official recorded output, have seen him live three times. His activity level at almost 80 is stunning. And the musical diversity of his canon is amazing. My favorite couplet by him remains "A while ago somewhere I don't know when, I was watching a movie with a friend. I fell in love with the actress, she was playing a part that I could understand.", though not far behind is "Don't feel like Satan, but I am to them".

I own and have read V.1 of Rogan, but not V.2. Those things are not only heavy, but also expensive!

Great article, thanks. 70's/80's Pepper has always spoken deeply to me. I remember reading that during that era, his playing was as if each note might be his last, so he put all he had into it. The coda on "Patricia" from 'Art Pepper Today' takes me to another place.

That works for me. I like the original song selection/sequencing on Notorious fine, but like yours even better!

TTK, those are great albums! Only change I would make I think would be to find a way to put "Lady Friend" on Younger Than Yesterday, even if I had to delete a good-but-lesser song like "Time Between" or "Mind Gardens" (likely the latter).

I strongly agree musically with all of your changes, but it would necessitate a rewrite of history for the released 'Younger Than Yesterday' album, which included a (different) version of "Why". But I'm good with accomplishing that by substituting in "It Happens Each Day" (my preference) or "Lady Friend" (or include them both!) to replace "Why" on 'Younger Than Yesterday' TTK, can you included the links to those revised playlists? I know I saw (and likely responded to) 'Notorius', but I don't recall the 'Turn Turn Turn' post. All of their classic albums except the first one could have been improved by better song selection of the available material. How do you leave the utterly gorgeous "She Don't Care About Time" off 'Turn Turn Turn', put out an album with a running time under 30 minutes, and pad it with "Oh Susannah"? They seemed to want to limit the number of beautiful Gene Clark songs on each album. I have grabbed all of the affordable Clark solo material I could over the decades, and have rarely been disappointed by it, especially live recordings. Even when his work is musically rough in spots, it has a spirit that I find compelling, and each of his albums grows on me with repeated listenings, as I learn to appreciate each for what it is rather than criticizing any for what it isn't. And his cuts were usually my favorites on the first two Byrds albums. Clark also did good work with Carla Olson later on - she seemed to raise her game considerably from her exposure to him.
