Rooster_Ties Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 I wouldn't be able to label Roach's "Brown Sugar" "good stuff". Boring stuff might be a better descriptor. Isn't that practically the only organ date Joe Henderson ever recorded on? The only soul-jazz organ date, in any case (iirc). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 Grant Green's wonderful "Am I Blue" also ... there are more organ dates, but soul-jazz organ dates I wouldn't really know. "Am I Blue" is pretty darn soulful though, but that's not what soul jazz is about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sambrasa Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 I wouldn't be able to label Roach's "Brown Sugar" "good stuff". Boring stuff might be a better descriptor. Isn't that practically the only organ date Joe Henderson ever recorded on? The only soul-jazz organ date, in any case (iirc). 2 others I can think of right now, Larry Young's Unity for Blue Note and Joe Henderson meets Kankawa for some Japanese label.

danasgoodstuff Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 some good stuff coming up ... Freddie Roach - Brown Sugar http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=UCCQ-5046 I wouldn't be able to label Roach's "Brown Sugar" "good stuff". Boring stuff might be a better descriptor. Brown Sugar is delicious, you're...missing out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Also...although not an "organ record" in the truer sense...but definitely "soul jazz". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Beat me to it, Jim. In addition, on at least one cut of Kenny Burrell's 'Ellington is forever' Joe is backed up by Jimmy Smith - 'Take the A train'. (And there are non-organ soul jazz dates with him, like Nat Adderley's 'Sayin' somethin''.) MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel A Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 (edited) Great news. Dig This has catalogue number TYCJ-81100 which suggests at least 50 more titles! I've updated the list on to include the new titles. Maybe I've missed something, but the post on page 1 where albums with previously unissued tracks were indiciated has disappeared. Is this information easily found elsewhere, as well as a complete list of the whole series? EDIT: I've answered my own questions by searching for the UCCQ and TYCJ prefixes at hmv.co.jp.

Kevin Bresnahan Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 I seem to have passed that age... the age where my hearing is simply not acute enough to hear the major differences between these SHM-CDs and their older counterparts. I'm kinda bummed out right now. I bought a bunch of these discs and compared them to my old CD versions and I have not had one "sit up and take notice" moment. I really have to think about staying out of strict audio discussions on line. I just can't hear the differences that well any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 Sorry to hear that Kevin. I dread the day that happens to me, but then again, perhaps you and I can settle in and just listen to music and not the mastering differences. Sounds like a happy situation.

Late Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 ... but then again, perhaps you and I can settle in and just listen to music and not the mastering differences. A positive spin. Nice thinking. In the last five years or so, I've taken to wearing earplugs in situations where the decibel level is higher, and at a sustained high, than I'm accustomed to. This includes somewhat silly situations — like the lawnmower or the leaf blower. Certainly whenever I go to a show that isn't classical or jazz. Might be a placebo effect, but it does seem to help with ear fatigue. Gradual hearing loss, of course, is inevitable. A question for those who may know — is hearing loss ever reversible? =========== But back to the thread topic — I've begun to really enjoy the sonic signature of this series. If they're a little too loud at times, they make up for it in soundstage depth (and I simply turn the volume down). I like the Blue Note Works TOCJ series for its vinyl-like qualities, and the TYCJ and UCCQ series for their fine-tuned "digital" qualities. Digital can, and often does, sound good. I hope this series hasn't reached its end at 180 titles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel A Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 (edited) Most hearing loss is irreversible, I'm afraid. BTW, in this neighborhood most people (including me) are wearing hearing protectors when using their lawnmowers. Or, those who haven't invested in those silent robotic lawnmowers that do everything without human "assistance"; all too popular around here. Anyway, wearing hearing protectors should not make anyone feel awkward. Returning to the subject, I placed my first order for a couple of SHM CD:s yesterday.

danasgoodstuff Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 I got John Patton's Blue John from my local Bricks 'n Mortor and the +5 are nice but they definitely went for the greasiest stuff on the original, and we'll probably never hear the 2 that are left now.

erwbol Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Sonny Clark Trio [Low-Priced Edition] UCCU-99098 3 December, 2014 Description: The disc included in this reissue may be identical to a previous edition. In that case, a different catalog number may be printed on the disc. --- A year and a month after the release of the SHM-CD. Probably same mastering?

Late Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 A year and a month after the release of the SHM-CD. Probably same mastering? Good question. Hard to say exactly. Sometimes CD Japan lists what year the remaster comes from, but not here ... at least yet? ============= There's a boatload of "low-priced" reissues coming out December 3rd! This one (coming out in November) shouldn't be missed: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/XQAM-1635 (Though of course not Blue Note nor an SHM-CD. The prefix XQAM, while not originating from Japan, is from a legit label — SSJ — out of Taiwan. Their JR Monterose reissues are spectacular.)

jazzbo Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) I have I think one title on the way and about six that I'm also waiting for in a November shipment. Edited October 25, 2014 by jazzbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
