milestones20 Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 With Christmas comes the inevitable iTunes gift card...now I need help figuring out what to spend it on. I've been listening to a lot of late 1960s advanced hard-bop kind of stuff...Stanley Cowell's "Brilliant Circles," Bobby Hutcherson's "Total Eclipse," Charles Tolliver Music Inc. stuff...is there anything you guys would suggest that I may have overlooked?

Chas Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 No late sixties advanced hard-bop collection is complete without Chick Corea's Tones For Joan's Bones . :tup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niko Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 probably you haven't overlooked Jackie McLean's Demon's Dance but just in case...; easier to overlook and equally essential Sonny Simmons Complete ESP Recordings available at great prices right now and really not more advanced than advanced hard bop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michel1969 Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Booker Ervin : "The in between"(superb !) Frank Foster : "Manhattan Fever" Lee Morgan "The Sixth Sense" "Live at the Lighthouse" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randyhersom Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Bobby Hutcherson - Dialogue Dave Holland - Conference of the Birds for Lee, Lighthouse and Last Session seem more germane, but I am sneaking into the 70's, aren't I.

Guest Bill Barton Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 For starters: Woody Shaw (his first two on Muse and Blackstone Legacy on Contemporary) Joe Henderson - The Kicker " " - Four! Sam Rivers - Fuchsia Swing Song " " - Contours Pete LaRoca - Turkish Women at the Bath (there's some killer John Gilmore on this album - his solo on "Love Planet" ranks way up there on my "all time favorite solos" list) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 add in there also Grachan Moncur's two Blue Notes ('Evolution' and 'Some Other Stuff' - the latter being a bit more avant-garde) and Tony Williams' 'Lifetime' and 'Spring'.

Kyo Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 but just in case...; easier to overlook and equally essential Sonny Simmons Complete ESP Recordings available at great prices right now and really not more advanced than advanced hard bop Thanks for the recommendation, I had forgotten about that one and found a new copy for a ridiculously low price right after I read this thread. More recommendations from me, maybe from not quite as late into the 60s but still great: Booker Ervin - The Freedom Book, The Space Book, The Trance, Setting the Pace (with Dexter Gordon) Everything in the Grachan Moncur Mosaic Select And obviously most of those Andrew Hill Blue Note sessions.

milestones20 Posted January 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Thanks to all for suggestions. I already had a lot of that stuff, but was able to get lucky and find a copy of Natural Essence...whoo boy, that was a good choice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sal Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Not sure if I would catagorize Andrew Hill as "late 60s advanced hard bop", but "Dance With Death" and "Passing Ships" are two of my favorite "advanced" jazz recordings from the era.

I agree that semantics becomes a little bit of a problem here. I don't know that I would include Moncur either in that category but all of the above mentioned titles are excellent. Some a little more outside than others however. My choice... Herbie Hancock's "Speak Like A Child" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewHill Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Bill Barron on Savoy. A very enthusiastic "I second that motion" on the Barron Savoys! Third it! Ted Curson is equally important on those sides. I have the 'Modern Windows Suite' reissue, which has seemingly gone out of print again.

JSngry Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Thae most intense Barron Savoy is the one that's not been reissued (afaik) - Motivation from 1972. Good GOD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewHill Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 I'd also recommend McLean's New and Old Gospel, since its now readily available again and also the not-so-easy-to-find 'Bout Soul; arguably his most 'out' date for the label.

John L Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 (edited) A few others: Jaki Byard George Adams/Don Pullen Arthur Blythe Billy Harper Randy Weston Edited January 10, 2008 by John L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFrank Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 I don't think Adams/Pullen, Arthur Blythe and Billy Harper could be considered late-60's post-bop. Billy might have shown up on a few recordings (Blakey, Gil Evans, etc.), but he is pretty much 70's and beyond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
