chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 can anyone recommend this one, or is really watered down. thats what limelight does, it waters down talent. i LOVE pop jazz lps, dont get me wrong, but limelight like, just did it wrong. did they use various producers, or the same one always? i have never been happy, and always disapointed by limelight sessions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kh1958 Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Rip, Rig and Panic, and I Talk With Sprits are on Limelight, and those are two of his best albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbo Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 I Talk with the Spirits is definitely one of my favorite Kirks. Try it Aric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kh1958 Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Rip Rig and Panic = Jaki Byard Experience minus Alan Dawson plus Elvin Jones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WD45 Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Another watered-down Limelight LP is Eric Dolphy's "Last Date." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Some real milquetoast Mingus on there, too. And that cheeseball Fifty Foot Hose record. Well, actually, that LP is kind of goofy, but I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 For the record, the Mingus album was originally on Mercury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

felser Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Another watered-down Limelight LP is Eric Dolphy's "Last Date." My very favorite Dolphy album of all. I would not be willing to pay the going rate ($150-$200) for the Kirk box (I sold mine for about that much 10-12 years ago, and it still goes for that on Amazon Marketplace), but it's worth picking up the individual sessions, almost all of which are available at better prices.

DMP Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 When I caught Kirk (with Horace Parlan) in a club in Cleveland in the mid-60's, he was plugging his upcoming flute album on Mercury. ("Cannonball & Coltrane" - like the Mingus title - was also a reissue of a Mercury album.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GA Russell Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 LOL! My favorite post-Baker Mulligan album is the Limelight Something Borrowed, Something Blue with Zoot Sims. Let's not forget this surprise easy-listening hit! Oh yeah, that is a good one. This album was my introduction to Paul Bley, and also the song Mr. Joy. I'd love to hear it again.
