sheldonm Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 (edited) I heard a tune called "Man from Monterey" from a cd called Dizzy Gillespie w/ Gil Fuller and the Monterey Jazz Festival Orchestra. I can't seem to locate this cd or even find any reference to it. I love the tune and would like to hear more; anyone know of it???

ValerieB Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 ooooooowwwweeeeee!!! i remember cuts from that album being on the jukebox at slug's in nyc in the '60s!!! sweet mem-o-ries! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 Has the Fuller/Moody PJ side been similarly reissued? The Gillespie/Fuller side is one of the first jazz albums I ever bought, back in the very early 70s. Found it in the legenday (to me, anyway...) Treasure City cutout bins for 99 cents or some such as part of the massive Liberty Catalog Purge of a few years earlier (still not sure if that was a contributing factor or not, but there were PJ, BN, WP, etc. sides out the wazoo in this joint, many of them for under a buck). It's good and all, but I'll still take the "vintage" collaborations in a heartbeat or less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Fitzgerald Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 Pretty sure the Gil Fuller-James Moody PJ album has not seen US CD reissue. (Or maybe I'm just saying that to appease Mark so he doesn't have a conniption.) Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Late Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Mark, did you ever find a copy? I'm looking for a listening copy these days ... Fuller's work on the James Moody New Sounds disc that's shared with Art Blakey is something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DukeCity Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 i have a mint copy of this gil fuller monterey title that i would trade for something of equal rarity. -e- Would a Near Mint CD copy of "Kind of Blue" pique your interest...?

JSngry Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Geek Time... Those of you who have the LP, what kind of label does your copy have? Mine's blue with silver lettering. And it's mono. Wondering if there were any variants to that label for the stereo and/or later pressings (if there were any). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazaro Vega Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 The Dizzy Big Band in Berlin smokes the Monterey Jazz Festival Orchestra, imho. The Fuller albums are on the short-side swinging instrumental showcases. Dizzy's solo in that arrangement of "Groovin' High," and Moody's flute in a 2 and a half minute long "Tin Tin Deo" get right to the point. No shuckin'. Concise. Authentic big band bebop. It makes me want to pull out Art Blakey and James Moody "New Sounds" on Blue Note and hear Fuller and Moody together in the 40's. We have a Pacific Jazz lp called "Night Flight," Gil Fuller/James Moody & The Monterey Jazz Festival Orchestra, and this is a re-issue: there's no personnel listings, just the tunes and a photo of Moody and Fuller standing in what looks like an airport terminal. The label is sky blue with a giant wave breaking over the spindle hole, ready to soak it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcello Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Geek Time... Those of you who have the LP, what kind of label does your copy have? Mine's blue with silver lettering. And it's mono. Wondering if there were any variants to that label for the stereo and/or later pressings (if there were any). Mine is black with silver lettering. On the disc is says " Hi Fidelity Pacific Jazz " - PJ-93. At the bottom is: (M-1000). No date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghost of miles Posted July 5, 2019 Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 (edited) Very, very old news at this point, but since I'm listening to it right now, thought I'd mention for anybody who's interested that the Gil Fuller albums with Gillespie and Moody were combined into one CD and reissued by Blue Note in 2008: Dizzy Gillespie and James Moody with Gil Fuller and the Monterey Jazz Festival Orchestra Really enjoying Dizzy's playing so far on this one (he's on tracks 1-8, Moody on 9-20) Edited July 5, 2019 by ghost of miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
