Mosaic Sets but Especially Tina Brooks
andybleaden replied to Dan Gould's topic in Mosaic and other box sets...
Mine was the Larry Young set I had recently bought a big box of jazz lps (pre ebay) and some of them were Blue Notes - originals too My local jazz record shop in Manchester UK (Decoy Records) had a look and out from under the counter popped a Larry Young Mosaic set - AND a box of the Other Side of the 1500 Series (Japanese LPs) I went home happier than I had ever felt trading records. Larry Young I had only heard I think 3 tracks of and there was all his stuff and his sides with Grant Green ....and then that Japanese Blue Note set. Still have the Larry Young set - my favourite still. Bought all the Blue Note boxes and loved ringing up from the UK (as fast as I could as it cost a fortune) to place an order for the next one or ones I had missed. -
All these years later I still miss BJP and cherish the odd evening to myself to immerse into the world of Big John Patton Tonight Dec 8th December it is the Minor Swing release

Mosaic and the Blue Note catalog
andybleaden replied to mikeweil's topic in Mosaic and other box sets...
Imagine the squeals if they surprised us and turnout a nice odds and sods set ( a little like some of the older Japanese rarities) I know there is not a great deal and the prospect might not be real but I would still squeal! In all seriousness the prospect of another nicely compiled box of new bits and pieces along the lines of a Lost Grooves plan would just be enough -
Mosaic and the Blue Note catalog
andybleaden replied to mikeweil's topic in Mosaic and other box sets...
Same here - nowadays all these Mosaics have the same material I have where as previously they had absolute hidden treasures like the Larry Young or Hank Mobley or Lee Morgan sets that back then were really impossible to find on CD However that said - these are lovely sets to see - especially the Joe Henderson and Sonny Clark - I would love to have seen one that tied up a few artists like Baby Face Willette/Freddie Roach - or as others have said - long since unseen one LP wonders. Nowadays I still enjoy the ones I bought - last one was the JJ Johnson and the two Vee Jays with Lee Morgan Wayne Shorter and Paul Chambers and Wynton Kelly =they were nice sets -

Kenny Dorham's Blue Lament. 1961 unissued BN session.
andybleaden replied to Hardbopjazz's topic in Discography
That is true - I have a fair few that were also radio broadcasts and would love to see more issued - as they did with the Half Note sessions I just gave the Blue Lament another play and in particular Mason Dixon Line - I still like it -
Wow - this I missed - now watched What a lovely lovely treat I never ever thought I would see. and then to learn about Tina Brooks as well - luck is in the room

Kenny Dorham's Blue Lament. 1961 unissued BN session.
andybleaden replied to Hardbopjazz's topic in Discography
Well I have a fair bit of Kenny Dorham This is not his best but nor is it his worst. If you can snaffle a copy as this may not get released officially (but you never know) then do It is better than 60% of what I have heard of Kenny Dorham in my sonically challenged world -

Have you written for Wikipedia on jazz artists?
andybleaden replied to Milestones's topic in Artists
Well it is mostly free. Free = no moderating = shanty town but I do find it useful and have scrubbed up a few sites where they lack recordings -
Discographers Monetizing Their Work
andybleaden replied to Teasing the Korean's topic in Discography
Used many paper based discographies They take enormous effort I could pick faults but they have been in my opinion excellent. To monetise online ..maybe the best offer is a trial membership access...so many logins for a fee -
There used to be an army of regulars that used to go to the Manchester Jazz Society - to listen to jazz records who waxed lyrical about seeing many of these Manchester gigs - not sure how many more of them are still with us Time gone by I used to turn up with my latest Mosaic Box set or new Blue Note CD and try to get them into the "new stuff" from the 50's and 60's - they used to call me the Blue Note Kid Still here: https://twitter.com/jazz_manchester?lang=en

Dan - just sent you an update message with track in question to hear for yourself - let me know if the track does not work. Looking around I found a WHOLE heap of Big John recordings I forgot I had so - thanks! That's my evening planned!

Just nipping in to say hi, thanks and wow If you are still stuck. Go back to the live recordings we have of BJP at Smokes and with Ed Cherry etc later as there is lots of him in between sets and doing announcements...always sounded a little clipped or nasally as if he had a cold. My ears or a crap mic maybe but there were loads of him. announcing a little Rhthmaning was was that comes to mind. Last clue - with the photo - compare that to his face on the old release of Soul Connection...similar but not same time on Nilva https://www.google.com/search?q=soul+connection+john+patton&safe=strict&sxsrf=ALeKk03O9QUJfCOn5eG-oW6YXFQnUctE5w:1612690007098&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjizoW4utfuAhXDoXEKHY4qAa0Q_AUoAnoECAgQBA&biw=1366&bih=616#imgrc=rpjU5LagoDJt7M To be very very specific as I have it on here now... On the live at the Jazz Bakery (grim sound quality ) there is him talking away before each track Counting them all in Better than that There is a whole 53 seconds of John talking in between Scrapple Live at Smoke July 27th 2001 Disc 3

Is there a complete discography on of the Prestige catalog?
andybleaden replied to Hardbopjazz's topic in Discography
Those Japanese Critique books were lovely just lovely to have in my hands....still have them. -
well. the stamp collector in me is not very strong. I had lots of Big John Patton bootlegs ..listen to a few live shows...mostly prefer the official recordings Like hearing rare Grant Green, Blakey, Mobley, Byrd, Morgan etc but still in love with Sidewinder, Night In Tunisia....Roll Call....Ethiopian Knights etc but lack the time to enjoy even them let alone the rare unreleased Blakey Blue Notes or Patton late sides with George Braith or the Byrd big band radio set or Dutch Mobley sets....

Without wishing to be sounding over the top this is just 100% of what I needed to hear. Beautiful From an old Herbie Nichols fan with an old Mosaic box set to go and find again and put on
