Teasing the Korean Posted May 5, 2021 Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 Will the Tito Puente thread be bumped anytime soon, or has RCA's confusing treatment of the discography rendered it a lost cause? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted May 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 I'm about to type the data into BRIAN. HutchFan located a copy of the Yambeque CD for me (millions of thanks to him). I think I will start with the RCA sessions and then add the Tico sessions later, then some of the later, as time allows. It's a mountain of work. Incomplete or conttadictory data on various RCA CD reissues. It's a real mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you agree that the short outtake version of "Four Beat Cha-Cha" sounds like it was intended as a tag to spliced onto the end of the released version? I wonder why RCA did such a shoddy job of documenting this stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had not noticed anything about the TV appearance, would be great if tape/film survives, to see both Bryant and Curtis Amy. What do people think of the two Fantasy LPs if they have heard them? I like them but not as much as the earlier ones. Plas definitely helps on the later one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gheorghe Posted March 3, 2023 Report Share Posted March 3, 2023 I just saw there is an Al McKibbon discography too. I had not known that Al McKibbon recorded under his own name. That´s really a rarety among the classic jazz bassists of the 40´s (Mc Kibbon, Tommy Potter, Curley Russel and Gene Ramey I think were the most recorded bassists then. I only once found to my astonishment a disc of Tommy Potter under his own name (hard funk in sweden). They all were strong bassists, better known for their sidemen roles than for own soloing. McKibbon had a strong tone and can be heard very very well on the Dizzy Gillespie Big Band, I think he also recorded "One Bass Hit" as a solo feature with the band. I also like his strong, boppish sound on "Giants of Jazz" and his solo on Tin Tin Deo (I think it´s only a Dizzy-McKibbon duet). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McKibbon was one of the first US jazz bassists who understood Latin bass patterns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
