John Tapscott Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 The Gryce, Christian, and Richards CD's are not yet listed on the Uptown website. Strange, since that's the place they usually show up first. http://www.uptownrecords.net/home/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) Got the Christian and Gryce cds in the mail today from amazon. The Christian sounds pretty good, if a little bright; transfers to digital and mastering are by Bill Welham.

Fer Urbina Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Here's the recording dates and info on the Christian: Jerry Jerome Quintet: Jerry Jerome (ts); Frankie Hines (p); Charlie Christian (g); OP (?) (b); ? (d). B/cast. 9/24/39. Is that the info given in the Uptown booklet? The personnel and date of this recording, which is >not< a broadcast, had been long settled (see Leo Valdés's discography), not least in this forum by Chris Albertson.

cohens2 Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 A link to the Charlie Christian Uptown discographical information from the new CD is shown. Please note that as opposed to other issues of this material, Uptown started from the original acetate sources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Tapscott Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 All three are now up for purchase on the Uptown website. http://www.uptownrecords.net/home/ I've heard good things about the Richards CD, but I'm really looking forward to hearing the Gryce.

Fer Urbina Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 (edited) A link to the Charlie Christian Uptown discographical information from the new CD is shown. Please note that as opposed to other issues of this material, Uptown started from the original acetate sources. I just received the Charlie Christian CD. I understand this is the first issue of the Minneapolis session from Newhouse's original acetates, not the dubs used by Columbia in their early 70s LP (and presumably source of many subsequent reissues) or the ones owned by Jerry Jerome (used at least for an Arbors CD, and presumably for Volume 9 of the Complete Edition of Charlie Christian recordings - these issues presented the unspliced "I Got Rhythm" and the complete intro to "Tea For Two"). As for the rest, it looks that everything has been reissued before, but this should be in better sound. Also, the 4/26/1940 "Sheik of Araby" here is the most complete version I recall. In previous reissues it fades during Guarnieri's solo, this has it complete plus almost a whole chorus by Goodman. If you don't have this music and you're interested, I think this is the way to go. "Tea for Two" is the only recording of this tune by Christian, IIRC, and it has one of his best recorded solos IMHO. Interesting to hear Oscar Pettiford's earliest stuff to, aged 17. And the booklet carries pictures of Frankie Hines (duly assumed to be "Earl Hines (p)?" in old discographies) and Newhouse I'd never seen. F PS Haven't read them yet, but the liner notes are by Frank Driggs (!) Edited August 4, 2011 by Fer Urbina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fer Urbina Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Gotta say, the sound on the Charlie Christian CD is remarkable. And I wonder what kind of sound equipment Frank Driggs has, because he says that Pettiford is barely audible on the Minneapolis recordings, and I can hear him alright.

Christiern Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 So, what's new? Guess the Driggs connection might have something to do with the tape I found stuck between a console and the wall at Columbia's 52nd Street studio. He would park hot tapes there before taking them to wherever he kept the ill-gotten hoard that he called The Frank Driggs Collection. Ok, so I tell it like it is. Someone needs to.

Chuck Nessa Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 I would guess this to be the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenLowe Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 (edited) well, as I said elsewhere, Driggs' notes to the Christian CD are incoherent and historically suspect. Edited August 15, 2011 by AllenLowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king ubu Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Wow! Can't quite keep up with their release schedule of late though ... still don't have the Chubby Jackson or Gryce or Christian or their Dexter disc, nor the Coles/Wess ... had to get the Jacquet/Parker and Pres as they were released. Guess I have some shopping to do there! Also still missing the McGhee ... here's the back-cover w/details: Has this been out previously? On that old Tristano/Mosac/whatever label? What's it called again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
