Late Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 (edited) Any other takers on the Gil Fuller sides? Re. the Wilson set — I haven't heard it, but thought it looked interesting on paper. I suppose Larry Young's Contrasts would probably be more interesting to me in the long run. As long as the Connoisseur series continues, and finds a way to deliver titles that have never seen the light of day on compact disc, I'm happy!

Swinging Swede Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 I have the Fuller/Gillespie CD, but certainly wouldn't mind seeing the Fuller/Moody! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 Same here. Another I'd like to see on CD, although I have one of them on LP, is the two Clare Fischer Latin LPs on Pacific Jazz: Manteca and So Danco Samba - they would both fit on 1 CD, but one of them is Cuban, the other Brazilian .....

Soul Stream Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 I'd really like to see unissued sessions at this point. The unissued Jimmy Smith, ect.... 'Cause pretty much everything else has been issued either here or in Japan, and if you dig it...you've got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chas Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 All of the Herb Pomeroy recordings owned by EMI would make a very nice double-CD . The set would include , the Transition material, the Roulette material , the United Artists material and the never-issued Newport '58 material .

Late Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 I've never heard a note of Pomeroy on the labels mentioned above, but I'd buy a Connoisseur without thinking twice. Pomeroy's work on the Serge Chaloff Mosaic is fine indeed. A largely unheralded trumpet player deserving wider recognition. If we can have a Lou Blackburn Connoisseur, why not?

Jim R Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 Jack Wilson: Song for My Daughter I'm glad there are people here with brains who can help me to remember things like this. Have either of you heard this album? I'm just asking because if you haven't, and are expecting some "typical" Jack Wilson fare, you might be disappointed. It's a good album, but it's a lot more "commercial" than Wilson's other work. Yeah, I've got a burn of the LP. You're right, of course, but I like it enough to want an official release.

Epithet Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 Any of Chick Corea's Circle stuff. Also, the missing McCoy Tyner and Bobby Hutcherson 70's Blue Note material if the Mosaic Selects aren't going to happen (they keep getting bumped).

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 There's a good deal I want to see out, from BN, PJ, Capitol & Roulette. First, some that have already been mentioned: Jimmy Smith's Club Baby Grand recordings Ron Jefferson - Love lifted me Kenny Burrell - Freedom Larry Young - Contrasts Leo Parker - Rollin' with Leo And a few that haven't been mentioned BNs Grant Green - Visions Jimmy McGriff - Black pearl - one of the great live Soul Jazz sessions - cold be combined with Junior Parker & McGriff - Chicken fried soul, which was on UA and I reckon was probably recorded at the same gig (McGriff's own club in Newark). Jimmy McGriff - Something to listen to PJs Clifford Scott & Les McCann - Out front Teddy Edwards & Les McCann - It's about time Les McCann & the Jazz Crusaders - Jazz waltz Sonny Stitt & Charles Kynard - My mother's eyes Charles Kynard - Where it's at Johnny Lytle - Does it again Johnny Lytle - Swingin' at the Gate Roulette Etta Jones sings Capitol 3 Milt Buckner albums: Rockin' with Milt Rockin' Hammond Milt Buckner MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyo Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 I could be wrong but I think none of Duke Pearson's early BN albums have been released on CD outside of Japan, right? How about a combo including Profile and Tender Feelin's? Those should fit one one CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Bresnahan Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 duke pearson was a genius and shuold of been president of blue note had he lived Not according to Wayne Shorter!! Wayne did not have a high opinion of Pearson's musical taste. He might be part of the reason Blue Note went down the toilet in the late 60's.

Daniel A Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Wayne did not have a high opinion of Pearson's musical taste. He might be part of the reason Blue Note went down the toilet in the late 60's. I think Duke Pearson did what he could during the circumstances. For example, he did produce Herbie Hancock's last two BN albums, and they're good in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, he did produce Herbie Hancock's last two BN albums, and they're good in my opinion. Oh yes, they're very good! But they're in a totally different direction than the things musicians like Donald Byrd and a bit later Bobbi Humphrey and the Mizells did... I assume that's the stuff that went down the toilet? Of course it's a question of taste, in the end, but I do consider most of the late 60s BN output in a different category (and a less intriguing, at that) than the stuff they released up to, say 1966 or 1967.

But that stuff wasn't produced by Duke. It was early 70's material anyway; after Francis had died and George Butler took over. As far as I know Duke didn't have anything at all to do with any of that material. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
