Verve MV 2555 (Japan 1976) - Sonny Rollins " Brass And Trio" - rec. 1958

The latest entry in this outstanding series:

Well, whaddaya know? Serves me right for never having paid maximum attention to the Miller bands. Anyway ... this tune certainly was not a staple of BLACK (big) bands of those years. Offhand I am only aware of a version of Pistol Packin' Mama by Louis Jordan (on a Jubilee program, but he never recorded it commercially).

Yep, this one’s been in the works for quite awhile.

I never really cared for Mike Brecker (did like a number of Randy Breckers Albums). Felt the same way About Pat Metheny, and Brad Mehldau.

Off the beaten path, ehH

Has anyone experienced delays from shipping from Japan? I ordered some CDs from CD Japan three weeks ago with no indication they have been shipped to US via FedEx. I emailed them twice for status of order with no response. Has anyone experienced the same from CD Japan? thanks Bob

Silly and underground but SO well-produced catchy 'Bleep stuff' wit vocals. I now that's a contradiction but a perfect contradiction it is.

Depends on how you rated it in the first place. Personally, it's my favorite Pink Floyd album. I played the side with "Comfortably Numb" so many times I nearly wore it out. Prior to this coming out, I listened to "Animals" & "Wish You Were Here" a lot. For some reason, I have never been a huge fan of "Dark Side of the Moon". I do like it, but not as much as these other three.

Ja, maar zelfst dan ... Als King Crimson een nieuwe release uitbrengt in erbarmelijke perskwaliteit (even als voorbeeld genomen, in dit geval zelfst toepasselijk) drukt dat het hoge gemiddelde niet. Ik geloof echt dat dit album wat ondergewaardeerd wordt omdat het voor sommige mensen op de zenuwen werkt. Ik heb heb er gewoonweg van genoten. ben benieuwd naar een tweede luisterbeurt.

Symphony No. 7

Overrated album ?

May I respectfully suggest that you amend/correct the title and item descriptions? It is CHARLES Brown, not Charlie Brown (as in Peanuts ). Just so people know from the start who it is all about. I for one must admit I did not have the slightest idea which artist you were talking about when I saw the title of this thread. Particularly since I found it hard to imagine any of the Charlie Brown artists I had ever heard of (far from all listed on Discogs anyway) would have been graced by a Mosaic set. https://www.discogs.com/search/?q="Charlie+Brown"&type=artist

September 20 Steve Coleman - 1956

Yes indeedy! 😉 That's one item that is a fair bit off the trodden paths of the usual big band repertoires. Very much an item of its times but therefore a natural fit for a V-Disc set.
