Billy Cobham featuring Ron Carter / Kenny Barron: The Art Of Three. In+Out Records IOR 77045-2 [Germany 2001]

ATR Magnetics has only been in business since 1996, so these are not vintage tapes. These are dupes of some kind. If they are dupes of master tapes, they'd have value to many collectors. As long as you kept the sale on the QT (the label can block the sale), you could probably get some good money for them. That said, you'd have to play these tapes to find out if they're duplicates of the session masters and not simply someone's dubs of an LP or CD release. I am not sure how much music can fit on each tape. There appear to be two reels for each title, so I'd imagine that there's more music than a simple LP dub, but again, I don't know this medium. The tapes themselves have no info on the provenance.

Back to Illinois Jacquet:

One more Billy Cobham, just for fun!

Yes!

Ben might know, yeah.

👍- what a line-up ...

Luciano, Have you contacted Ben Young?

Super interesting, thanks @Niko!

LP 1 of 2

Have you tried looking them up on discogs? That would always be the first place to look to see if there are any for sale on there in order to get an indication of scarcity and value as well as to obtain more information about the particular tapes. I have never searched for reel-to-reel tapes on discogs but would assume that discogs would have RTR tapes on its site, in addition to the usual vinyl and CD offerings. Just a thought.

I think I'll keep it up until Sunday. I've still got a few I haven't heard yet.

Sorry to hear this sad news. Rebecca Kilgore was a good jazz singer. I have a number of her CDs and also saw her perform live about 4 or 5 times.

So ATR IS ATR Magnetics, the brand of tape.

I met her years ago at the Triangle Jazz Party in Kingsport, Tennessee, I think her first Arbors CD was fairly new. I got to know her over the years attending both the Triangle and Atlanta Jazz Parties, my wife and I were also present for one night of the Feinstein’s recording. Don’t overlook her CDs as a part of the group BED with Eddie Errickson and Dan Barrett.
