Aggie87 Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Also due for release on 21 July are two in the Rare Groove series : Heritage - Eddie Henderson Howlin' for Judy - Jeremy Steig ( compilation of Steig's albums Legwork, This is Jeremy Steig and Wayfaring Stranger ) Already mentioned in the Blue Note 2007 reissues thread. Along with 4 other apparent Rare Grooves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewHill Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Nice list. The Monterose and Clark will be welcome upgrades. May upgrade the Rivers if the sound vastly improves. The Moncur sounds good in its current configuration (I have the collector's choice). And finally some Curtis Fuller! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulstation1 Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 IMO you can never have enough Stan The Man Turrentine........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulstation1 Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 I'm just ploughing through the piles of Blue Note CDs that I've acquired recently, largely thanks to this forum. Up At Minton's by Stanley Turrentine is a fine record with a relaxed feel. I particularly enjoyed Horace Parlan. Can anyone recommend any of the Blue Note titles by Parlan ( none of which seem to have been reissued at a reasonable price ) or any of his work for other labels? All the BN Parlans are available on Mosaic - a brilliant box! MG this one is on my short list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewHill Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Parlan's On the Spur of the Moment should not be missed-anything with the Turrentine brothers in the front line is usually quite excellent stuff. Also, if it hasn't been mentioned, Stan's That's Where its At is another excellent date, and in new RVG sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul secor Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 According to Jazzwise magazine the next batch of RVG reissues ( due on 1 September ) includes : Hank Mobley Quintet - Hank Mobley J.R. Montrose - J.R. Montrose Lou Takes Off - Lou Donaldson The Opener - Curtis Fuller Plays Fats Waller - Jimmy Smith Peckin' Time - Hank Mobley Leapin' and Lopin' - Sonny Clark Evolution - Grachan Moncur Dimensions and Extensions - Sam Rivers Dearly Beloved - Stanley Turrentine Also due for release on 21 July are two in the Rare Groove series : Heritage - Eddie Henderson Howlin' for Judy - Jeremy Steig ( compilation of Steig's albums Legwork, This is Jeremy Steig and Wayfaring Stranger ) Glad the sale of EMI hasn't put an end to the RVG series.

BruceH Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 (edited) It's about time they RVGed Leapin' and Lopin'. Also the Monterose is a very solid album. ...And I may get the Rivers too. Edited June 28, 2008 by BruceH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzjet Posted July 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 As a result of asking the question about Blue Notes to get to improve my collection I've just got Cool Struttin' by Sonny Clark. I'm playing it now and it is truly excellent. Great tunes and great playing - almost the perfect Blue Note session. No idea how this one slipped through the net but I'm sure glad I've caught up with it now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here. I recall being in a local music store and heard someone commenting on the album. He placed it back in the bin and I ended up walking out the store with it.

clifford_thornton Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Joe Henderson - Page One and Eric Dolphy - Out To Lunch were the first two BNs I got, on vinyl no less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 First one I got was "Back at the Chicken Shack". Well, what else would you expect? MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybleaden Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 My biggest surprise was Kenny Burrell's Midnight Blue and handiest record to broaden my interest in terms of new artists ( to me then) was maybe Art Blakey A Night in Tunisia ...always quote this as THE record that clicked with me for jazz...went off then hunting down anything ( and I struggled then with supply) that has any of the artists on that side...Lee Morgan AND Wayne Shorter were the first finds then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niko Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 my first three were Horace Silver Song for my father, Art Blakey Moanin and Herbie Hancock Maiden Voyage... don't know which one was first, got the latter two at the same time, Song for my father feels like my first Blue Note, don't have a very strong connection to the other two...

AndrewHill Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 My first three BNs (which were on cd ) were Miles Davis vols I & II, and Lee's the Sidewinder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clifford_thornton Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 I think my third BN LP was Sonny Rollins at the Village Vanguard. A dark-blue label, steppin' up from the DMMs that were the first two! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceH Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 My first BN albums were Go! by Dexter Gordon and the aforementioned Cool Struttin' by Sonny Clark, if memory serves. Both vinyl, as I didn't yet have a CD player in 1985. (Not long after I found a cheap copy of Soul Station somewhere, but it wasn't until around 1990 that I really started to appreciate it.)

BillF Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 It took a long time for Blue Note LPs to become available in the UK. Unlike Riverside, some of whose stuff - like Brilliant Corners - was released on London American, BN never appeared (to my knowledge) on a British label. So when the first few, suitably promoted in the British jazz press, appeared, it was a big event. I remember Stanley Turrentine's Look Out! being among them, and I think Sonny Clark's Leapin' and Lopin' came soon after, but I don't remember my first BN purchase! I'm not even sure of the date of these first releases - was it as late as 1962? (Perhaps MG can help.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 First one I got was "Back at the Chicken Shack". Well, what else would you expect? MG Me too - from a second hand stall on London's Petticoat Lane market - followed by Midnight Blue. ( I guess it's pretty sad that I can actually remember where I bought albums! ) I can usually remember where I bought albums. It gets a bit confusing when I buy a hundred African cassettes within a few days at various market stalls in Africa, but otherwise I can. Oh, I can't generally remember where I buy stuff online, unless its stuff that only comes from one place, like CD Baby or various African sites. It's the physical being in a place and doing such and such that sets up the memory. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Beat Steve Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 (edited) Well, I remember quite clearly my first two BN's (bought almost simultaneously) were Jutta Hipp's Hickory House LP's (Vols. 1 + 2). And the reissue of George Wallington's 10in LP from the 5000 series came not long after. Guess I'm the "odd man out" when it comes to "typical" BN fare and what you tend to fall for in the first place when BN is mentioned. :D Edited July 10, 2008 by Big Beat Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
