Son-of-a-Weizen Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Inspired by this thread, I visited the Harvard Square Newbury Comics today and grabbed All Mornin' Long K2 and Rediscovered Masters, Vol. 2 for $3.99 each. You obviously paid waaaay too much! http://www.yourstoreonline.net/(S(hamqyzed...+MASTERS+VOL.+2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Are those just mispriced items, or is their strategy to overcharge for shipping? Has anyone ever purchased any music form yourstoreonline.net ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 So the thousands of $0.00 items are discontinued titles. And I had dreams of scoring some Dexter Steeplechase titles darn cheap. And the Bill Evans box from Amazon. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjzee Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 Found this great little tidbit in Orrin Keepnews' liner notes to the Monk/Coltrane Complete Riverside Recordings: I still consider this to have been the first time I really heard Trane. As for my reaction, by the time they had finished this first and only take, I had a question to ask. Ignoring the intercom, I went charging from the control room into the studio. "John," I still remember asking, "What's your record situation?" I will also never forget his precise answer: "I signed with Prestige three weeks ago." It was certainly my biggest record business disappointment to that point, and I could not have had many bigger ones since. The full story did not make me feel any better. Bob Weinstock of Prestige had not necessarily been any wiser than his competitors. Actually, with several strong-selling artists under contract - Miles, the Modern Jazz Quartet, Billy Taylor, Red Garland - he was not in hot pursuit of more. But he was under particular pressure from Garland to record his good friend and Davis bandmate, and so, without an excessive amount of enthusiasm, Weinstock had offered Coltrane a modest two-year deal and it had been accepted.

Norm Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Well, Red Garland is his own best advertiser. I'm still digesting the material from Side Steps (what a rich treasure trove), as virtually all of it is new to me and Red's contributions just shine. In particular on Disc 4, his playing on All Mornin' Long, Billy's Bounce and Lazy Mae really drew my attention to the piano (not that Mr. Coltrane's playing isn't excellent). Well, its clear that my Red Garland Piano, Groovy, Revisited and Soul Junction CDs is an utterly insufficient body of Red's work in my collection. Therefore I just placed an order at Concord Music for the following titles: Rediscovered Masters, v.2 Mr P.C. Blues Red's Good Groove A Garland of Red I also threw in Blue Mitchell's Blue Moods to reach the $40 limit for free shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrdlu Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Thanks. I assumed as much based on other outrageous claims said teacher made on a regular basis - "Only those few of us who were close to the group members actually knew ... blah blah blah." That teacher was talking pure, pretentious bullshit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 1960 Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 (edited) Red's good groove - a wonderful session, with Blue Mitchell & Pepper Adams, Sam & Philly Joe Jones. Really satisfying album! MG Glad to see your endorsement on this one, MG. I might be able to get ahold of this one in the coming days. Add my endorsement as well. As transcendent as the trio albums are, I've always preferred Red with a horn (or horns). Finally gotten around to listening to Red's Good Groove. I just want to thank you guys for plugging this release. It definitely lives up to the billing. Edited January 31, 2010 by Tom 1960 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost of miles Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 Here's a great Prestige compilation of Red: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 I love a good Red Garland intro, when he hits a groove and rides it for like three hours! Somebody mentioned "Soul Junction" earlier, a very worthy tune, but my FAVORITE, the one that I'll take with me on a long drive cuz it's perfect for night driving, is "Sweet Sapphire Blues." I mean, Red just jump-starts that bad boy and doesn't let ANYONE disrupt his groove for a good solid ten minutes or so, doesn't waste a note, doesn't repeat any tired riffs, just swings the ever-lovin' goodness outta that mutha!!!!

DMP Posted October 19, 2020 Report Share Posted October 19, 2020 Red’s terrific, but I rarely play the Prestige trios - too many bass solos, a little goes a long way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gheorghe Posted October 23, 2020 Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 I liked Red Garland immediatly when I heard the first Miles Davis quintet things, "Steamin´" was the record then. And then I purchased this one, it was a double LP album and then available in 1978. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
