Posted 28 Sep 2015 (edited) The reissue but not bad. Love the album; it has that sincere yet occasionally cheesy quality of the time, very full of personality. I have an original of it - you're right in that it's not bad, but nor is it my favorite Howard LP from the era (that would have to be Berlin Concert or Live in Europe Vol. 1).

Posted 29 Sep 2015 Julius Hemphill, Blue Boyé (Mbari). 2 LPs of Hemphill on alto, soprano and flute, often overdubbed. There's another similarly constituted 2 LP set from that era on Sackville. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 29 Sep 2015 Gordon Jenkins Presents Marshall Royal (Everest mono). It may tell you something about the kind of afternoon I had to say that this easy-listening-ish album is just what I needed. To be fair to Marshall, there is far more jazz content here than on the similar Johnny Hodges/Lawrence Welk album from around the same time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 29 Sep 2015 Garrison Fewell!Indeed. I urge everyone to hear the posthumous trio date with Roy Campbell and Luther Gray 'Invisible Resonance Trio' on Creative Music Nation. Especially if you enjoy 'Tribal Ghost' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 30 Sep 2015 (edited) um....i dont wanna freak out on this point, but im 3/4 of the way thru side 1, and this is wayyyy different than classic duke- its totally a concept album, theres narration.....i thought it was going to be: Duke Ellington & His Orch + Candido: swingin duke latin fusion featuring Candido Camero. well its like that but with like a broadway twist. is that the strayhorn input? is this -the only- lp in his cannon like this? it really does flow like a concept album. was there actually a TV b'cast to correspond w/ this, i wasnt clear on that on wikipedia, like i cant find it on youtube. im going to keep it (and pray for some candido solos on side 2) but im going to go back to classic duke: im telling you, he goes back to his classic live thing here: Vancouver 1970. you know whose in the band? Julian Priester. (like about the same time he joined mwandishi) the last recording of johnny hodges i think. before i figured out it was from 1970 i swear i thought it was an aircheck from the 40s, they are swingin that hard on this. ....DRUM gets better 1/2way through side 2.....

Posted 30 Sep 2015 ok my final analysis of this lp, is: theres some swingin' candido twds the very end worth the price of admisson. will be kept & filed with the other period Columbia white label promos, if i had to guess, id say....maybe next to Jo Stafford's Greatest Hits. that sounds about right.

Posted 30 Sep 2015 (edited) Contemporary Hungarian Music, Zoltan Jeney and Laszlo Sary (Hungaraton). Early 1970s works from two Hungarian composers--very nice and adventurous.Excellent choice. Many treasures to be found on the Hungaraton label in the 1970s and 1980s, especially by composers of the Budapest New Music Studio (Jeney and Sary were both founding members).I've yet to find a dud on that label. Zsolt Durko is another favourite. Do you have any other recommendations? Hungaraton also did that amazing edition of Bartok's works.Sorry for replying late and I don't have my records here, but I would recommend really almost anything by the New Music Studio composers (I'm particularly fond of Zoltan Jeney). Hungaroton also released a string of excellent electronic/electroacoustic records by Hungarian composers. And there's Kurtág, of course...(I'm not an expert on "straight" classical music, but given the high quality of so much contemporary/avant-garde releases on the label, I would imagine their standards to be pretty high there too. The Bartok edition you mentioned is a case in point.) Edited 30 Sep 2015 by corto maltese It's Hungaroton. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 30 Sep 2015 I have an original of that Frank Wright - excellent album. I recall it being a pretty loud pressing. The new Calumet reissue is a bootleg; Calumet was a subsidiary of Musidisc France, which also owned the America label. Their catalog was pretty small, with a handful of blues titles and a library funk title spotlighting the music of Mal Waldron (although Mal doesn't play on it).

Posted 30 Sep 2015 I always thought Calumet was a private label manufactured and distributed by Musidisc.Now listening to a recent $.99 treasure from Record Theater in Buffalo. I seems to be unplayed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 1 Oct 2015 I used to think Calumet was a private label too, but it's a Pierre Berjot/Jaubert (take your pick) imprint. All of those labels - Carson, America, etc. - shared artists and releases and were manufactured and distributed by Musidisc. As near as I can tell, he was the dude running the show and didn't seem to be paying anybody either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On the other hand, music from the same session (a track also called "Church number nine") was released on Noah Howard's "Space Dimension", which was released some time earlier on the America label (part of Musidisc) and produced by Jaubert.It's always a bit complex in France...
