BruceH Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 Don't miss the Sal Salvador. . . that one (with a Capitol date added) is a great cd! That one's been in heavy rotation at my house for the last few months. Love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

felser Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Nice haul today.... McGhee/Drew Foster/Wallington $22 you mean anyone actually reads the crap I write here cool catch! I didn't mention these just for the heck of it. Drew is really good IMO. ← Not only do I read it, but I have shown my wife the Monk's Music Monkridingonawagon coolness!

Son-of-a-Weizen Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 I gave the "Jay Jay Johnson, Vol 3" 10" Toshiba vinyl a spin today and it's not so great. 'You're Mine, You" has a good deal of distortion and sounds particularly bad. The JRVG sounds excellent. Anyone else listened to that vol. 3 vinyl? The first weak Toshiba wax I've heard.

sidewinder Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 Those more recent 10" Toshibas (from the 90s I think) were digitally remastered I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybleaden Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 I have these.......either as the two fers on US Conn or Japanese issues and they are nice.......not all essential ......but that for now is irrelevant. My favourite was the hardest to find which was the Lou Mecca.....really different. Least enjoyed.....hmm maybe the poor sounding Hipp.....really liked her later stuff but this aint as good ( for me at least). I did like the Watkins and the Foster issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejp626 Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 Whoops. I don't have the Sal Salvador after all. After much poking around on the web, it appears that the BN quintet session is on the Conn, by itself on a Japanese import and on a truly rare Japanese BN CD "The Great Guitars" issued in 1990, which appears to have completely disappeared. Has this session shown up anywhere else? I see that the longer session with Costa has shown up with a lot of other material on a Lonehill CD Eddie Costa & Sal Salvador Quartet -- Complete Studio Recordings. I agree that supporting Lonehill is dodgy, but I don't think any of this material is out in a legit format currently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other one I picked up in that series was the Tal Farlow one ( also on the scan) which I picked up for not alot ...by the way the obis are tucked in side for all you obi nuts!

I have a Freshsound LP with one of those albums, "Tribute to the Greats" - very nice album! ← What else is on the Lonehill? Yes, it is mostly Bethlehem material. Here's the run-down from the Dusty B*%&#rds. including the Capitol album Kenton Presents Sal Salvador, the Bethlehem record Frivolous Sal, and the 1956 session Shades Of Sal Salvador. Remaining titles on the set are from the Salvador/Costa quartet album Tribute To The Greats -- and the brilliant Bethlehem sextet session by Frank Socolow -- entitled Shades of Socolow. It does have the entire original Shades of Socolow LP, but is missing three bonus tracks from a Fresh Sounds "release" of the Socolow. Mighty tempting.

My favorites are the Watkins and the Gil Melle. ← Anyone have a complete list of the 10" twofer CD's? I have a few of these from the McGhee / Drew / Farlow series... was that it or were there subsequent series? Looking for the Foster / Wallington & the Watkins now. Love the Melle as well.

Thanks, T ← I remember when they came out wishing there were more but the 10 " series had a few ( In my opinion) horrors too...jazz from the UK..and other non blue note issues with ( yuk) 'strings' and other things I would have like to pick up the wade legge and maybe a few more but the ones I got.....were pretty good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejp626 Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 I'm sure this has been suggested to MC, but now that Blue Note has partnered with iTunes (which frankly surprised me), why not try the Vault thing and release these 10" as iTunes only? I could see it might dilute the market slightly if BN planned on reissuing them, but if they really don't intend to do so again, I think this would be a way some economic return on these sessions and undercut Lonehill/Fresh Sounds, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a few of these from the McGhee / Drew / Farlow series... was that it or were there subsequent series? ← I don't have a list, but just wanted to mention that there were BN 10" albums which had earlier CD releases, before those Conns and before the RVG's, such as the Art Blakey / James Moody "New Sounds"; Wynton Kelly's "Piano Interpretations". Those were released in 1991. Of course, there was also material from some BN 10"ers that was released in the form of the 12" versions (Horace Silver, Clifford Brown, Lou Donaldson...).
