Bruyninckx says Caribbean Suite was recorded June 15 & 16, 1966.

Have another great year my friend.

Interesting rhythm section - Don Preston, Richard Davis & Andrew Cyrille.

And Goodie loves athletes pumped up on drugs.

Norman Luboff "Complete Choir RCA Sessions". I love the 6+ alts of each title. Gotta make a new shelf for this succa! Maybe I should have waited for the Lonehill without all the alts.

One big sammich!

Me too. Most of 'em.

FWIW, CCs were reissues of the first batch of BN cds manufactured by Sony. So, by definition it has been reissued and reissued again.

Sad. His Prestige recordings sprang to mind.

That means they found a way to avoid paying "publishing" for the music in the set.

:tup Wonderful band. All the players and writers are absolutely first rate. And they are entertaining as well.

Time to declare the weather "Obama's revenge"!

what Skid said but do not miss an opportunity to hear Von, nomatter the venue.

Cecil. After that I need to relax.

If you expect all who listen to Butcher to respond to this thread, think again.

Why? I tend to ignore boxes and play individual discs.

What about "old school labels" like Paramount, Black Patti, Okeh, Gennett, etc?

All the best young man!

Thanks for the notice Hans. I might have missed this. I hope they continue the Muddy series too.

Wrong bird, wrong word but nice.

IIRC, Savoy 12145 and 12146 were conflations of the two Signal "music minus one" lps. 12145 used the rhythm section tracks without the saxophone parts and 12146 coupled the "sax added" versions. Each lp was half Jordan and half Overton. Neither of these should be confused with Savoy's reissue of the Duke Jordan trio/quintet lp (12149).

Al, the complete version would have 10 tracks - 7 from the original album and 3 more from Tonight At Noon.

No idea, I'm not an expert, but he uses CEDAR for noise reduction. The 5 JSP Fats Waller sets I have sound rather "dead" to my ears, though not as bad as the RCA sets that were issued in the 1990s. Cedar is a suite of tools and each can be used to different degrees. Much too broad a stroke to complain about the system. He might deaden the sound before using Cedar. You never know unless you know what he's using and how. It is like blaming Studer for a lousy recording. Since you edited to talk about the RCA sets, they were done over an 8 year span with different tranfer and mastering engineers. Some of the later sets sound wonderful. Once again, too broad a stroke.

Curious which part(s)/aspects of Cedar you think he uses too much.
