  1. eBay Lp dealers --

    What kind of legal action can be taken? I would simply refrain from making generalizations and state your specific claims. Also please note if the seller offers a refund or not.

    Creating a list entitled "Unscrupulous Ebay Dealers" may not be the best idea IMO. I think that many people who have had conflict with a seller on ebay may have a hard time separating the facts from their emotions. I was not proposing blanket censorship, just a little prudence.

    Yes, please, let's share the ebay ID's of the unscrupulous dealers. :tup

    I would caution you against doing this. After a thread similar to this appeared on another site, an ebay dealer that was slammed threatened the owners with legal action if the posts weren't removed. I would hate to see this happen to our friends here. Maybe this is best done in private.

  4. Musicmaster, a reliable reference?

    For those of us who are still attracted to vinyl, the 2nd Edition of the Goldmine guide authored by Neal is by far the best reference available in terms of overall content. Mr. Umphred has a genuine passion for the jazz medium on vinyl, and it shows in his work.

    I for one am happy to have him and his extensive knowledge become a part of this site. It doesn't matter one bit to me if he chooses to post in bold letters or any other manner.

  9. Chubby Jackson

    in Discography

    Posted · Edited by Booker

    Picked up a 10" on the Rainbow label (catalog number 708) called "Calvalcade (sic) of Jazz" featuring Chubby Jackson and his American All-Stars. According to the Jazz Guide authored by our new member Neal Umphred, this was released in 1951. There are no liner notes on the back cover, so no lineup information is available. Conte Candoli and Frank Socolow are given credits on one track, so I am making the assumption that they were a part of the American All-Stars due to their association with Chubby during that time frame.

    Anybody have any information about the complete lineup for this LP? The track listing is as follows:

    A-Side: Track 1. Lemon Drop

    Track 2: Dee Dee's Dance

    Track 3: Henry VIII

    B-Side: Track 1: Boomsie

    Track 2: Crown Pilots

    Track 3: Free of Charge

    regards,

  15. Matthew Gee: Jazz By Gee

    etherbored,

    I have the original LP release of "Soul Groove" on Atlantic. The original year of release is 1964. Johnny Griffin is featured primarily, I believe Matthew Gee received equal billing because of his contributions as a composer (5 of the 8 tracks are his compositions). The liner notes include a lengthy discussion about Griffin, Gee is barely mentioned.

    The base group is Griffin, Gee, Hank Jones on piano or organ, Aaron Bell on bass or tuba, Carlos "Patato" Valdes on bongos or congas, Art Taylor on drums.

    On three of the Gee compositions, Hank Jones is replaced by John Patton on organ.

    These are the stronger cuts on the LP IMO, due to the groove layed down by Patton.

    All in all, fairly standard 60's soul jazz.

    regards,

    Booker
