“Live at the Plugged Nickel” — just *not* Miles Davis


Rooster_Ties

Recommended Posts

Question: Were there any other albums — jazz, or otherwise — recorded at The Plugged Nickel — other than Miles in Dec ‘65?

Likewise, to expand the topic — are there any other live albums recorded some at less-than-ubiquitous venues… …venues that are otherwise known primarily for just one or two particular live releases?? (Like the Plugged Nickel)

Forget the Village Vanguard, or any of the really better/best known venues…

I’m looking for some lesser-known venues that never the less, had more than one (but still only a handful, or maybe even just a couple), different live releases??

 

EDIT: Knowing this board, this topic will surely devolve into including discussion of venues where only one live album was ever recorded — so we might as well include that too, from the git go.

Jimmy Smith - Live At The Club Baby Grand (and this fits the original parameters of this thread, because there were 2 albums recorded there - vol. 1 and vol. 2).

 

Johnny "Hammond" Smith - Black Coffee (recorded at the Monterey Club, New Haven, CT).

Charles Earland - Living Black! (@ The Key Club, Newark, NJ).

Yusef Lateef - 'Live at Pep's' (in Philly).

Grant Green and Lonnie Liston Smith recorded separate LPs 'Live at Club Mozambique' (in Detroit).

No, NOT Lonnie LISTON Smith, the other Lonnie Smith.

Grant Green recorded Alive! at the Cliché Lounge (literally, as well as figuratively).  Don't know if anyone else made a live album there.  If not, then I guess recording there would not be a cliché.  Just to be clear, I like clichés.  It's up to the user to do something imaginative with them.

There's also some bootlegs of Miles at Lennie's in 1971.

 

Also that Mingus footage with John Gilmore, right?

How many records/groups were recorded live at Minton's (Jerry Newman doesn't count)? Count Basie's? Small's Paradise? Harlem clubs (as opposed the the Apollo Theatre).

As far as Minton's goes, these Griff & Lock records come to mind:

Those are the only two that I know of.

 

And there's this Joe Newman record from Count Basie's:

There's another 2 LPs worth or more listed in the discographies, but apparently it's gone missing and may well never come to light.  Crying shame that.  I love Alfred and Francis, but the choices they made then are not necessarily the ones that I'd make now.  How long was Minton's a going venue?

Which was reissued/re-titled as The Breakfast Show. So you can, recreate the entire evening, maybe.
