Stereojack

My first impression when I first got it years ago was that he was a shadow of his 30's self on this LP, but having pulled it out a few more times over the years, I don't think it's all that bad. One can hear a little bit of the old fire, even if he is a little rusty.

With all of the news in the last couple of weeks, this doesn't come as a total surprise, but I was hoping he would recover. Freddie was a real motherfucker, and this is a major loss to the world of music. RIP, Freddie.

Disc received on Friday! Thanks!

These are the ones I have, all on LP: 1003 Hanna, Roland - Sir Elf 1004 Wayne, Chuck & Joe Puma - Interactions 1005 Feldman, Victor - Your Smile 1006 Sims, Zoot - Zoot Sims' Party 1008 DeFranco, Buddy - Free Sail 1009 Brackeen, Joanne - Snooze 1010 Haig, Al - Strings Attached 1013 Phillips, Flip - Phillips' Head 1014 Rowles, Jimmy - Grandpaws 1016 Brackeen, Joanne - Tring-A-Ling 1017 DeFranco, Buddy - Waterbed 1018 Hanna, Roland - Sir Elf+1 1019 Konitz, Lee - Tenorlee 1022 Mosca, Sal - For You 1023 Rowles, Jimmy - Paws That Refresh 1024 Brackeen, Joanne - Prism 6830 Shank, Bud - Live at the Haig The Shank was issued in 1985 - years after the others. It was distributed through Bainbridge. Hence the different numbering series. The 1000 series was also issued through Inner City in the 1980's. These had different cover art & design than the originals.

I like McKenzie & Ballew, but I find Robertson to be insufferable! But that's just me.

"What we have here is a failure to communicate" Your link sent me to "It's the Girl", by Freddie Rich, recorded for Hit of the Week, an orchestra with whom Bunny recorded many sides. However, it appears that the track with the trumpet solo you are discussing is "Anytime, Anyday, Anywhere" by Chick Bullock & His Levee Loungers, a long running ARC studio outfit with whom Bunny also recorded many sides. I just listened to the latter, and I agree, I don't think it's Bunny, even though the CD credits him in the notes. One should take information provided by record labels with a grain of salt anyway, and go to more reliable sources (discographies), although the details on this type of studio date aren't always solid, and one must go with one's ears. I checked Rust and he says Berigan or Klein - I agree it's probably Klein. Bunny tends to be more forceful and dynamic. As for Chick Bullock, some purists tend to dismiss him and his ilk, but I agree with Jazztrain. I've developed quite a fondness for him over the years, and I think he's among the better vocalists of that era.

I believe Sahib's main axe was alto in his early days - shows up on sessions by Art Blakey, Thelonious Monk, Mal Waldron, & others. Eventually switched to bari.

Vocalist is Elmer Feldkamp, not Bullock. Trumpet is inconclusive - simple statement of the melody. Btw, I checked "The Crooners" CD and this track isn't on it. Nor is it likely to be, as it was not cut for a Columbia-owned label.

I didn't vote in the poll, because while I have this set and like it a lot, I'm not sure that it's an absolutely must buy. It gathers together all of the 1940's JATP stuff, including a fair amount of unreleased material. Musicians include Bird, Pres, Hawk, Dizzy, Buck Clayton, Willie Smith, Flip Phillips, and many more. Sound quality overall is very good, with a few exceptions. And the packaging is nice, with plenty of vintage artwork. If one is a fan of the JATP format - all star jam sessions - then I would say this is a must have. For those who are somewhat indifferent to jazz presented in this manner, this is probably more than they would want.

This is the LP that turned me on to Carmen 40+ years ago. I recently discovered that there are two more albums from the same session, both issued on Mainstream years later.

I believe Hanna made two records for Choice - both are great! One of my favorite Zoot Sims albums is on Choice - "Zoot Sims' Party."

Got all 36 right. The Betty Hutton pic was a shocker!!

Another year has passed? Damn!

I bought my copy of Hendersonia from Walter Allen's widow about 30 years ago. There was no dust jacket. It's essential for any Henderson fan - extremely well researched!

THe Hawkins band seen in the night club are the same as on the soundtrack. The members of the jazz band starring in the film are actors, and their parts are dubbed by studio musicians.

I've got it on VHS, dubbed from a TV broadcast about 25 years ago. Not only do these musicians appear in the film, in a night club scene, but the entire film is about a jazz band that gets caught up in a murder mystery. The police detective is a jazz fan who identifies the trumpeter in the band from a recording!

The back room is real, but the "amazing stuff" is imaginary!!

One of my favorite obscure Nat Cole tunes is "Come In Out of the Rain", recorded in 1946. Originally had it on a 78, now have it on the Mosaic box.

Original LP credits Richard Alderson as engineer. I know that Dan Morgenstern wrote some notes under pseudonyms during this period (when he was editor of Down Beat), but these notes don't sound like Dan.

Kenny Burrell's "Have Yourself a Soulful Little Christmas" is one of my all time favorites. For trad fans, Jim Cullum's "Tis the Season to be Jammin'" is an old favorite as well - don't know if it's ever made it to CD.

I use lighter fluid to remove stickers and any kind of adhesive. It's much more effective than Goo Gone. Used to be that I could buy it in any drug store, but nowadays I have to buy it in a smoke shop. Ronsonol and Zippo are the two most common brands. This will definitely remove the adhesive. You pour a little directly onto the offending crud, and rub it in with your finger. Wipe clean with a dry paper towel.

When I first heard these LP's in the 1970's, I thought it was odd that the applause was in stereo! It didn't take long to figure out that it had been dubbed in.

I attended Woodstock with my brother and three of our friends. We heard about the event a couple of months in advance, when it was still scheduled to take place in Walkill, NY, as a 2-day event (Saturday & Sunday). The list of performers was staggering, and as music fans, we eagerly anticipated getting a chance to see a whole gang of great bands. We actually sent for tickets, and received them. I still have two of the tickets. Later the promoters added a 3rd day (Friday), and seeing the lineup was mostly folk acts on that day, we chose not to buy the additional tickets. A month or so before the event, the location was switched to a farm in Bethel, NY, and this is where it finally did happen. On Friday afternoon five of us - me, my friends Dave and Bobby, my brother and his friend Wayne - piled into Dave's 1956 Ford and headed for upstate NY. We ranged in age from 19 - 24. We came prepared - brought our own food and drugs. I don't recall hitting any serious traffic on the way, but perhaps we had timed it right. We arrived around 9 or 10 in the evening, and parked the car and set up the tent we had brought about a half mile from the stage area. After getting settled in we decided to head over to the stage area to check things out, even though we didn't have tickets for Friday. We could hear the music from the tent. When we got to the stage area, it seemed that no one was taking tickets, and we were able to walk right in. Tim Hardin was on stage at that moment. We stayed and listened for a little while and headed back to the tent to crash. The Saturday show was scheduled to start at 1:00 pm, so we headed over and even though we arrived relatively early, we had to sit pretty far back. A couple of us had brought binoculars, which came in handy later. There was an announcer addressing the crowd repeatedly, and this was when we became aware that this was now a free concert, and that attendance was way beyond what had been anticipated. They kept saying 300, 000 at the time, although that number seems to have grown to 500, 000 by now! I had never been in a crowd so large in my life, although I have to say that the vibes were pretty mellow. Most everybody, including all of us, was pretty stoned anyway. My memory of the actual sequence of acts is hazy today, although I'm sure that information is on line somewhere. We saw Country Joe McDonald, John Sebastian, Santana, Quill, Grateful Dead, Canned Heat, Incredible String Band, Creedence Clearwater, Janis Joplin, Sly & Family Stone, and a few more. After Sly's set we decided to head back to the tent to crash. It was probably already around 2:00 am and we were very tired. We heard the Who perform "Tommy" while we were walking back, and the Airplane were scheduled for next, but I crashed and never heard them. The next morning we headed back to the stage area, determined to get better seats, and we did. Joe Cocker began the afternoon, and although I wasn't a fan, Bobby had brought a joint of something very special, and I have to say that Joe's rendition of "I Shall be Released" sounded very sweet. Right after his set the sky got dark, and it became obvious that we were about to be deluged! When it started, we huddled under a poncho, but this wasn't working, so we resigned ourselves to getting drenched. Talk about a buzz kill! The concert was suspended, and being soaked to the skin, we decided to head back to the tent to change and dry off. The rain did eventually stop, and the concert was resumed. The acts that played in the final hours included Crosby, Stills & Nash, Blood Sweat & Tears, and the Band - these are the only ones I can remember. On Sunday evening we crashed a little earlier - it was cold and wet after the rain, and we were tired. To this day, people chide me that I didn't see Hendrix! He came on Monday morning at dawn, and we were sawing wood a half mile away! If you see the film, you will see that the crowd was pretty thin for his set. On Monday morning we headed back to Boston. It wasn't until afterward that we began to hear about the "cultural milestone" we had participated in.

this is obviously somebody looking to get a reaction, for reasons inexplicable. the best response is to ignore this uninformed and mean-spirited post. Y'all have never seen a troll before???

Back in the 1960's, when it was hard to find many jazz LP's in Boston, my friends and I would venture down to Sam Goody's in New York to get the latest Prestiges, hard to find Verves, and the like. There was an Asian guy working there who was very helpful and extremely knowledgeable. Years later I found out it was Harry Lim!
