brownie Posted July 7, 2003 Report Share Posted July 7, 2003 There should be more. Two I can think of were: - Roy Brooks 'The Free Slave', a 1970 date with Woody Shaw and George Coleman that came out on a Muse LP, - Coleman Hawkins 'Supreme', a 1966 date with Barry Harris, Gene Taylor and Roy Brooks that was issued by Enja. The Baltimore Left Bank Jazz Society was reminisced on this thread: http://www.citypaper.com/2000-10-04/feature.html The story mentions that some 350 tapes were made from 1965 to 1980!

JSngry Posted July 8, 2003 Report Share Posted July 8, 2003 I got an e-mail response from Label M back when they were in operation, and they said that they had intentions to eventually release a Mobley set from the Left Bank tapes. Not anything that's already been issued, but something elseThey mighta been blowin' smoke, but I was left with the impression that the material was available and of usable quality. So say your prayers, eat your vegetables, and keep your lawns mowed and well groomed, there's hope! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted July 8, 2003 Report Share Posted July 8, 2003 Any opinions on the Heath Hubbard or Cohn Sims. I saw copies of these at B.J.s for like $7 each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted July 8, 2003 Report Share Posted July 8, 2003 I have both, and I like both. Very much, in fact. Unlike some live recordings, there's nothing revelatory in either, but they're definitely worth having - good live playing, nice and stretched-out. Don't overlook the Hubbard/Maupin either!

Jim: one of that Freshsound Wynton Kelly 2CD sets has Hank Mobley (I'd guess the 67 but I'm not sure). The other has George Coleman. The 68 set was made after Chambers had died, with Ron McClure, if I remember right. Let me get the info from Freshsound: Live At The Left Bank Jazz Society, Baltimore 1967 (2 Cds) Wynton Kelly Trio Featuring: Wynton Kelly (p), Hank Mobley (ts), Cecil McBee (B), Jimmy Cobb (d) REFERENCE: FSCD 1031 BAR CODE: 84 27328 61031 5 PRICE: 17.20 € Tracklisting: CD 1 1. On A Clear Day (Lerner-Lane) 2. Hackensack (Monk) 3. On Green Dolphin Street (Kaper-Washington) CD 2 1. Milestones (Davis) 2. If You Could See Me Now (Dameron-Sigman) 3. Speak Low (Weil-Nash) Recorded live in 1967 Live At The Left Bank Jazz Society, Baltimore 1968 - 2 Cds Wynton Kelly Trio Featuring: Wynton Kelly (p), George Coleman (ts), Ron McClure (B), Jimmy Cobb (d) REFERENCE: FSCD 1032 BAR CODE: 84 27328 61032 2 PRICE: 17.20 € Tracklisting: CD. 1 1. Introducction-Announcements 2. Unit 7 (Jones) 3. Surrey With The Fringe On Top (Rodgers-Hammerstein) 4. On The Trail (Grofé) CD. 2 1. Mr. P.C. (Coltrane) 2. On A Clear Day (Lane-Lerner) 3. Here's That Rainy Day (Van Heusen-Burke) 4. Theme (Davis) I don't have either of these, but listened to part of them at some store, and they have quite horrible sound. So I guess the Label M Mobley might have been some other recording? Dorn would not have released these, I think. ubu ("don't mow your lawn" - ray anderson) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted July 8, 2003 Report Share Posted July 8, 2003 So I guess the Label M Mobley might have been some other recording? Yeah, if I'm remembering right it was a Mobley-led gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted July 8, 2003 Report Share Posted July 8, 2003 There was a link on that forgotten BB to a Left Bank site which listed all of the concerts they sponsored. Mobley was there many times, and there was lots more that you'd hope was of releasable quality. So here's hopin'! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alankin Posted July 12, 2003 Report Share Posted July 12, 2003 I wonder if Hyena will try to continue with these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertrand Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 That was a long time ago, but seven more for the list: Jackie McLean Dr. Jackle Jackie McLean: Tune Up Duke Pearson: Baltimore 1969 Blue Mitchell: Baltimore 1966 Gary Bartz: Home (not yet on CD) Mickey Fields (only one track on CD) Walter Namuth/Mickey Fields That last one was a collaboration between Left Bank and the Baltimore Jazz Alliance; there were supposed to be more... The Lee Morgan concert was produced by the DC Left Bank chapter. A whole 'nother story. Bertrand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA Russell Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 I'm sorry that list only goes up to '67. I saw three DC Left Bank shows, and I think that all three were in the spring of '69: Art Blakey, Horace Silver and Roy Haynes. Both Blakey and Silver were disappointing (too robotic), but I enjoyed the Haynes very much. Haynes' quartet had George Adams on tenor sax and Carl Schroeder on piano.

bertrand Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 There are yearbooks that go far beyond 1967. I have some scans which cover 1964-1989, with 1975 missing. I hope to put together a database one day. Bertrand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
