medjuck Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 I've never come across any one of the 3 records (Clarence) Gene Shaw did for Argo. He was called Clarence Shaw on some great recordings with Mingus in 1957 then after a 5 year lay-off did 3 records as leader under the name Gene Shaw . After that I don't know what happened. Sure like to see them released on cd but would be happy to buy/trade for them on Lp. Ditto for any Billy Butterfield Lp with Gil Evan's arrangement of Singin' the Blues.

kh1958 Posted January 11, 2004 Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 Carnival Sketches has been released on a Japanese import CD, which I was able to obtain through amazon.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted January 11, 2004 Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 At one time I had all the lps. From memory, Carnival Sketches is the least desirable. Look for the vinyl and buy them in order; Breakthrough, Debut in Blues, Carnival Sketches. I heard him a few times in Chicago. He played with an organ trio.

jazzkrow Posted January 11, 2004 Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 I have all 3 of them. "Debut in Blues" can be found around fairly easily on LP- Chess Records release from 1984. IMHO, they are all great releases! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmirBagachelles Posted January 11, 2004 Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 Debut in Blues and Breakthrough can had on 80s/90s reissue Japanese vinyl. The Argo vinyl I have dug up has been pretty beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mule Posted January 11, 2004 Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 Does anyone know if Sherman Morrison, the tenor player, was ever recorded again after BREAKTHROUGH? He had a bit of a Coltrane-thing going on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted January 11, 2004 Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 Does anyone know if Sherman Morrison, the tenor player, was ever recorded again after BREAKTHROUGH? He had a bit of a Coltrane-thing going on... The Tom Lord discography lists that Gene Shaw album as the only recorded appearance for Sherman Morrison.

That's what I suspected. Too bad as he seemed like an interesting player... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son-of-a-Weizen Posted January 11, 2004 Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 Funny, I just burned 'Autumn Walk' from Breakthrough for a comp disc that I've put together to entertain (hopefully?) the assembled at a 60th B'Day party for a pal next weekend. I really like that bass of Robinson's. I agree that that's the LP to snag first medjuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kh1958 Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 Does the Lord discography show any other Gene Shaw recorded appearances, other than Tiajuana Moods, East Coasting, A Modern Jazz Symposium..., all with Mingus, the unreleased session with Shaft Hadi and Pepper Adams included in the Mingus Debut box, and the three Argo session?

medjuck Posted January 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 I don't know about Lor but I've got a discography by Bob Weir that only lists the Mingus recordings and the 3 Argos. (In fact it doesn't mention the unrelased Dial.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
