Cardiacs - LSD

I was going through some old digital photo albums for my wife's Aura picture frame when I came upon some pictures from a visit to Mosaic Records in 2003. I had totally forgotten that my friend Rob took a picture of me and Michael Cuscuna.

John Jenkins is also a sideman on - Cliff Jordan - Blue Note. He is co-leader with Jackie McLean - Alto Madness - Prestige Jenkins is a sideman on Paul Quinichette - Sunny Side of The Street - Prestige and on the Wilbur Ware album Chicago Calling on Riverside. There is also the Jordan, Jenkins, Timmons on Prestige On Savoy he is a leader on Star Eyes, and sideman on a Sahib Shihab album.

Well, supposing we are talking about the Birdland broadcast of 30 June 1950 (date indicated in the Bruyninckx discography), this discography DOES indicate Little Jimmy Scott on that recording of "Embraceable You" that also featured Bird P. and Fats N. but not Bud P. (but Walter Bishop jr.). "Bird's Diary" by Ken Vail (published in 1996) places this gig that yielded "Embraceable You" with Bird and his cohorts (and Little Jimmy Scott as the vocalist - sic!) at 21 May 1950. And again Walter Bishop jr. on piano. But the "Bird Lore" discography by Koster and Mobach (published in 2002, i.e. more recelty than the most recent Buryninckx) not only gives 15 or 16 May 1950 as the date but also says "probably" the vocalist was "either Chubby Newsome or Little Jimmy Scott". The Discogs page of the "One Night In Birdland" LP on CBS has the following comment: "The track D2 (Embrayceabole You) is wrongly credited to have been sung by Chubby Newsome, but it was Jimmy Scott who actually did it." And here the date again is 15/16 May 1950. So which is which now? The liner notes to the Chubby Newsome LP on Official ("The Original Hip Shakin' Mama"), BTW, do not mention any live appearances of hers with Charlie Parker.

oh yes I knew it must be with Hank or Lee. I dont have mosaic, I have the individual albums, most of them japanese cardboard cover. With Sun RA ? That sounds interesting, because Sun RA is something like almost a God for me and my girlfriend..... but I don´t have so early stuff from him, more the 60s and 70´s

I never get tired of this

BTW, if you're still looking for Merch, you can order it here: Abbey Road - Official Store 😎

He is a sideman on the early Hank Mobley Sextet BN. I have it as part of the Mosaic Mobley '50s BN set. When I get off work I'll see if he's on any other albums in that Mosaic. In the esoterica department, there are some rehearsal tracks with Jenkins on the Sun Ra - The Eternal Myth Revealed box set on Transparency. Disc 5 iirc. They date back to 1950s Chicago.

On my album cover it is written that it is a female singer Chubby Newsome, and that she sounds quite under the weather on it, because she might have had a few.... Anyway, that vocal on Embraceable You sounds horrible to me. It´s only rescued by Bird, Bud and Fats, who has a beautiful sound on it, and it´s a rare item where he plays a ballad.

I have that one album on BN, the only one on which Dannie Richmond is a drummer for a BN session. And it is possible he is a sideman on another, maybe on one of those early Lee Morgans or Hank Mobleys.

Strange.... I know "I Told You So" as my favourite George Cables Composition.....😄 I love it, so great music, I like this period most, and the first year of his comeback, that´s the strongest music ! Usually I am not a fan of West Coast or in that case West Coast revival, but this one I always did like, maybe because it has a more modern sound with Harvey Mason, Bob James and Ron Carter. It´s a thing that I really like and spin. And maybe it´s just a generation thing, that the original Cool Jazz from the West Coast is not my thing. This one is much more powerful, it has the right drive that makes me happy. And anyway, I like those Westcoasters Baker, Mulligan Art Pepper mostly from the later years, the 70´s and 80s. Sounds much more interesting to me.

Lucio Capede and Marc Baron - My Trust In You Marc Baron has been a good recent find. From the more creative end of electro acoustic improv.

Indeed. Noted this in the reveal post.

I visited the Abbey Road studios when a friend was recording a soundtrack there. He was in a modern studio but took me to see the studio the Beatles used. (Studio 2?) They had kept it the same as it had been in 1969 so they had some sense of history. I don't think there was a gift shop at the time.
