Lonehill reissues

up ...

[mikeweil]

Amazon Germany has a June 21, 2004 release date for these - no info on the Disconforme site either.

I'm afraid you'll have to wait until they're out.

[king ubu]

I've had the Dizzy/Mogie in my hands a week ago. It's the Chester date (I think one post that has been edited in the meantime included a listing of what was recorded there, it's tracks 14-23 of that now disappeared list, NOT the tracks on the Jazz Unlimited release) + cuts from different dates recorded at one famous NYC club (Vanguard, Birdland, can't remember), plus the final track from some Newport concert (1957? The one on Verve? I don't have that - was that a complete release of this concert, or just a few tracks?)

Has anyone picked up the Criss? Supposed to be unreleased stuff???

Nothing new in the Sonny Criss 'The Lost Recordings'.

The CD has five tracks from the Buddy Rich group November 7&8, 1956 broadcasts from Birdland that came out first on Spotlite and later on various bootleg labels.

The Rich group had Ole Hensen, Criss, Kenny Drew and Phil Leshin on bass. Five tracks of those.

The rest of the album is the full 'Sonny Criss Intermission Riff' LP that Pablo released in 1988. That's the 1951 Shrine auditorium concert with Joe Newman, Bennie Green, etc.

The Bob Dorough & Sam Most Quartet 'Complete Recordings' from Lonehill reunites the Sam Most Bethlehem album 'Musically Yours' (with Bob Dorough, Bill Crow and Joe Morello) and the Sam Most Sextet Debut 10-incher (with Doug Mettome, Urbie Green, Dorough, Percy Heath and Louis Bellson).

Eric Dolphy - Eric Dolphy Quartet's Complete Recordings Featuring Lalo Schifrin

...

Eric Dolphy - Eric Dolphy Quintet's Complete Recordings Featuring Herbie Hancock

...

What are these supposed to be? Live recordings of '62/'63 vintage?

[brownie]

All these Eric Dolphy sides have already been out on various bootlegs before.

The Lalo Schiffrin ones have Mel Lewis on drums. The Herbie Hancock ones are the Dolphy group with Ed Armour on trumpet, Hancock, Richard Davis and Edgar Bateman on drums. 1961-1962 dates.

All claims that Lonehill Records are releasing unissued stuff is pure baloney!

I checked their Booker Little release which claims to include a bonus track.

The bonus track turns out to be 'After Hours' from the 'Young Men From Memphis' album which was originally released by United Artists.

Thanks, brownie.

I didn't think this was unissued music. Yet if it's bootleg stuff, who cares on what label you buy it. And I never saw these Dolphy dates. So I might look for them.

[king ubu]

And the Buck Clayton 3CD set would be half of the Mosaic?

Great , GREAT policy to omit "alternate takes" from these dates!! These jam sessions are so good, who'd want to miss half of them?

That stinks definitively (pun intended)!

I just saw (on World's Records' site of all places) even more upcoming Lone Hill releases. They seem to be cranking out titles at quite a pace right now.

From the latest Downtown Music Gallery mailing:

ERIC DOLPHY QUINTET Featuring HERBIE HANCOCK -

Gaslight Inn, October 7th 1962 (Lone Hill Jazz

10124; EEC) A 1962 broadcast originating from the

Gaslight Inn in New York Ciry is the source for

this live Italian bootleg. Eric Dolphy leads a

pickup group with Herbie Hancock and Richard

Davis, along with drummer Edgar Bateman and

trumpeter and flugelhornist Ed Armour. Dolphy is

heard almost exclusively on alto sax, though he

does get in a few typically adventurous solos.

The leader's memorable flute makes the nearly

twelve and a half minute "Left Alone" the most

valuable track. There are also performances of

his originals "Miss Ann" and "G.W." Singer Joe

Carroll dominates a rather forgettable bluesy

treatment "Oh, Lady be Good!" in which Dolphy is

only featured briefly on bass clarinet. The

broadcast is faded with DJ Alan Grant's

voice-over on top of an incomplete rendition of

Dolphy's "245." This long unavailable LP, later

reissued on CD by the now defunct Stash as Live

in New York, has had its recording quality

improved to be the best possible here.

CD for $16

ERIC DOLPHY QUINTET Featuring LALO SCHIFRIN -

Philadelphia '61 (Lone Hill Jazz 10121; EEC)

Purportedly a radio broadcast form Philadelphia

in 1961, this set matches the remarkable

multi-instrumentalist with pianist Lalo Schifrin,

bassist Bob Cunningham and drummer Mel Lewis,

performing long versions of "On Green Dolphin

Street" (over 23 minutes), "Softly As in a

Morning Sunrise" and "The Way You Look Tonight."

Although the rhythm section is conventional,

Dolphy really tears into these standards, making

this imported CD worth searching for. -- Scott

TO PLEASE EVERYBODY!!!...

MANNY ALBAM/JAZZ GREATS OF OUR TIME - Complete

Recordings: The Coral Sessions [2 CD set] (Lone

Hill Jazz 10118; EEC) This 2 CD set contains the

complete recordings made both in studio and live

by the Jazz Greats Of Our Time for the first time

on CD! CD1 offers the two volumes recorded in

1957 under the generic title of "Jazz Greats Of

Our Time" on Coral. See what Ken Dryden at AMG

has to say about these volumes: Vol 1: Albam

leads a truly all-star tentet with Gerry

Mulligan, Phil Woods, Zoot Sims, Al Cohn, Bob

Brookmeyer, Nick Travis, and Art Farmer, along

with a rhythm section consisting of Hank Jones,

Milt Hinton, and Osie Johnson. Most of these 1957

sessions are devoted to Albam's cool but swinging

original works, each of which features great

solos and superb interplay among the musicians.

One oddity is the inclusion of the 1920s-era "My

Sweetie Went Away," which somewhat resembles

Mulligan's composition "Jeru," though the playing

is first-rate. Cohn trades his usual tenor sax

for baritone to join Mulligan in Albam's humorous

"Poor Dr. Millmous" (whose title was inspired by

a James Thurber cartoon). Consider yourself

fortunate if you locate a copy of this rare

album. Vol 2: Manny Albam put out a steady stream

of compelling progressive big-band LPs in the

1950s and 1960s, though few of them have been

reissued on CD. These 1957 sessions feature

numerous so-called West Coast jazz players on the

date (Shelly Manne, Richie Kamuca, Conte Candoli,

and Bill Holman, among others), though "Trumpeter

X," actually Harry "Sweets" Edison, is a notable

exception. Albam's charts are consistently

challenging to the musicians and there are plenty

of great solos, far too many to list

individually. If Edison's identity isn't apparent

from the liner notes and the song title

"Sweet's-Bread," his two-chorus muted solo on

that swinging track and the single chorus in his

own "Jive at Five" will clear up any doubt. This

long unavailable Coral LP will be extremely

difficult to acquire and the second disc features

super-rare live recordings of the Jazz

Heritage/Jazz Greats Of Our Time groups!

ALBERT AYLER QUINTET With DONALD AYLER/RONALD

SHANNON JACKSON/LEWSI WORRELL/MICHAEL SAMPSON -

Complete Live At Slug's Saloon (Lone Hill Jazz

10101; EEC) This CD clocks in at 80 minutes!

Except for one Japanese edition [now out of

print] this material has generally been available

in the past as two volumes of cds or lps.

Featuring Donald Ayler on trumpet, Michel Sampson

on violin, Lewis Worrell on bass and Ronald

Shannon Jackson on drums. Originally Recorded at

Slug´s Saloon, New York, May 1st, 1966

CD for $16 SPECIAL

CLIFFORD BROWN & MAX ROACH QUINTET With SONNY

ROLLINS - Complete Live At The Bee Hive 1955 [2

CD set] (Lone Hill Jazz 10128; EEC) Originally a

double LP on Columbia, this is Brown´s first ever

recording with Sonny Rollins and Max Roach

recorded live at Chicago´s Bee Hive on November

7th, 1955. The playing is actually somewhat

historic, a jam session featuring the ill-fated

Clifford Brown, tenorman Sonny Rollins (who was

playing with Brownie for the first time), drummer

Max Roach and a few other musicians (Nicky Hill

on tenor, pianist Billy Wallace [or Chris

Anderson], guitarist Leo Blevins and bassist

George Morrow), but earlier editions of this [on

LP] betrayed not-very-good recordings. They have

been cleaned up here as best as possible.

CD for $25 SPECIAL

PAUL CHAMBERS/TOMMY FLANAGAN - Motor City Scene:

Complete recordings (Lone Hill Jazz 10134; EEC)

Recorded in New York, 1959-60. This sensational

such outstanding musicians as Thad and Elvin

Jones, Donald Byrd, Pepper Adams, Billy Mitchell,

Kenny Burrell and Louis Hayes.

BOOKER LITTLE - New York Sessions (Lone Hill Jazz

10110; EEC) Recorded in New York, 1959 - 5 tracks

from a rare Teddy Charles album caught live in

New York at a Metronome sponsored gig featuring

Mingus alums Mal Waldron, Booker Ervin and Booker

Little - and two dates from 1960, the first a cut

featuring Charles and Waldron along with Curtis

Fuller and Don Ellis Frank Strozier; the next two

two cuts are jam session tracks -- "Things Ain't

What They Used To Be" and "Blue N Boogie" -- from

the Young Men From Memphis set that featured

Little and Louis Smith on trumpets, plus Calvin

Newborn, Frank Strozier, and Phineas Newborn.

better than the next. Nothing short of sublime!

WES MONTGOMERY ALL STARS Featuring CANNONBALL

ADDERLEY/JON HENDRICKS/PONY POINDEXTER - A Good

Git-Together/Kismet (Lone Hill Jazz 10133; EEC)

Never Previously Released on CD! This set offers

a two long lost treasures - with the focal point

being Wes Montgomery - on 1 CD: Jon Hendricks'

first album as a leader, 'A Good Git-Together has

not been reissued since its 1959 release, but it

is a real gem. This rarity features such major

sidemen on various tracks as altoist Pony

Ponidexter, guitarist Wes Montgomery and both Nat

and Cannonball Adderley. Hendricks -- who, at the

time, was riding high in Lambert, Hendricks and

Ross -- is in superb form on such numbers as

"Everything Started In the House of the Lord," a

couple of songs that Hendricks had written for

Louis Jordan, Randy Weston's "Pretty Strange,"

"Social Call" and the jubilant "A Good

Git-Together." A near-classic LP long overdue to

be reissued on CD. -- Scott Yanow, AMG ....and a

second album released under the group name

Mastersounds performing their version of the

Broadway revue Kismet: "Recorded in the late '50s

and released in 1966 when the name Wes Montgomery

became well known, this reading of Borodin's

evergreen classic "Kismet" is a wondrous platter.

The Mastersounds were the Montgomery brothers'

group before Wes stepped out on his own. Monk and

Buddy Montgomery were excellent musicians in

their own right. Buddy's vibe work on this record

clearly shows that he was leading the group

through their paces, and his performance is

excellent. Top marks also for piano player

Richard Crabtree, whose vamp on "Baubles, Bangles

& Beads" is positively funky, and drummer Benny

Barth. Wes was indeed coming into his own here,

and for just that reason alone this is an

important record. Although merely an accompanist,

he gets to stretch out on the extended "Not Since

Nineveh" and the snaky, Eastern-tinged "Fate."

Overall, an excellent jazz reading of one of the

most beloved musicals ever and also an important

historical record for Wes Montgomery fans"-

LEE MORGAN With DIZZY GILLESPIE ORCHESTRA

Featuring WYNTON KELLY & BENNY GOLSON - Those

Dizzy Days (Lone Hill Jazz 10107; EEC) It was not

until Lee Morgan came into the band in Gordon´s

place that Dizzy had a trumpeter of comparable

individuality to his own. The line of trumpets

includes Talib Ahmad Dawud, Carl Warwick and

others behind Lee & Diz, Ray Connors, Al Grey and

others on trombone, Pee Wee Moore on baritone,

Wynton Kelley on piano, and a stunning showing by

Charlie Persip on drums! Originally recorded in

Hester, Pensylvania, June 14th (# 1-11), LA,

March 23rd (#12-13), NY, April 8th (14-15) and

Newport Jazz Festival, July 6th, 1957. 78 minutes!

Could this be (the "first time all together on one CD" would point in that direction) the complete session with Donald Byrd and Nathan Davis? (I never had those)

Just got this from Dusty Groove (for $12). The Bethlehem Byrd/Adams session sounds great, and can be found separately for $3.99 (used) at amazon. The first four tracks are the Thad Jones United Artists Motor City Scene, the last piece of the Mosaic puzzle I needed, so I got it.

It sounds like crap- has a steady hiss as if dubbed from cassette. My downloaded 160Kbps Minor Strain sounds better...

[John L]

Does anyone know a reliable US company that makes an effort to stock all of the Lone Hill releases? Dusy Groove seems to carry only a select few.

[Pete B]

Cadence ( www.cadencebuilding.com ) seems to have a lot of them.

[John L]

Really? Thanks. I usually only think to go to Cadence when I am looking for relatively new avant garde jazz.

[Dan Gould]

Really? Thanks. I usually only think to go to Cadence when I am looking for relatively new avant garde jazz.

Why? Cadence stocks all sorts of mainstream labels, with decent prices on Criss Cross among other labels.

And if you become a subscriber, you get a buck off of every title you order.

[Brad]

I just picked up a couple of these (Lee Morgan and Mulligan-Farmer) from Virgin when I was in Paris but since I just got back haven't had a chance to listen yet. However, am looking forward to them.
