As for Ron Carter, that was how they did it then. CTI records were often used in stereo stores as demo records, in no small part due to that Ron Carter sound. People don't like it so much these days, but back in the day, it was money. It sounds different to the CD / streamed versions to which I am accustomed, like the timing is wrong. As for Ron Carter, I knew what I was getting into, but it's more noticeable than on the digital versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted March 11, 2022 Report Share Posted March 11, 2022 You mean the track durations are different? As far as CTI vinyl in general, I'd say to stick to first-gen pressings as often as possible. Once they got really popular, and especially once their distribution went to Motown and others, it seemed to become a quantity over quality thing. And absolutely, be ready for Ron Carter, that was a selling point for sure. Subwoofers were not really on the landscape back then, but Ron Carter bass and all the dolbyWhatNot in cinema that got ported over to home theatre and put into cars, hey...an apatite for uber-bass was identified and nurtured, and still exists to this day.

Shrdlu Posted March 11, 2022 Report Share Posted March 11, 2022 I had not played any vinyl for years, but I dug out a Savoy LP by Pepper Adams called "Pure Pepper". It is a reissue of "The Cool Sounds Of Pepper Adams", but with an alternate take of one track added to the original four long tracks. The alternate take has never appeared on a CD. With Pepper are Bernard McKinney (euphonium), Hank Jones, George Duvivier and Elvin. It's a very tasty session. Euphonium might bring to mind oompah, but it's like a smooth version of a valve trombone, so nothing to be scared of. That was followed by another Savoy LP: "Blues-Ette, Volume 2“, by Curtis Fuller. It mirrors the original LP by having an alternate take of all six pieces. Only three of these have appeared on CD. This LP is well hidden on Discogs. There is another Fuller LP consisting entirely of alternate takes, none of which has appeared on a CD. I plan to get that soon. Curtis was an excellent player, and the lineups on those sessions are first-rate. A Mosaic set of 1950s Savoy sessions would be great, and Michael Cuscuna agreed when I mentioned it to him several years ago. I don't think it will ever happen, though. Finally, on vinyl, the James Johnson solos in a Mosaic set with several other people. The origin of Fats Waller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really loved it, which is nice: great playing, unusual (if all you've heard is hard bop), and an interesting back story to all the characters involved.

Without a doubt James P. was one of the most important and under-rated figures in jazz, bridging ragtime and early jazz. Fats Waller was his prodigy I believe.

There’s a good mix of fine early jazz on there including the Edmond Hall ‘Celeste Quartet’ and of course this material helped to put Blue Note on the map. I think it was an early Mosaic release, by the Lowrie/Cuscuna team. Good choice there with the Jazzman ‘Shades of Blue’ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
