My hearing must be going. At first I thought I heard "I pass the plate a lot", then "My pastor paid a lot".

"Mellow Yellow" was issued on CD in Japan a few years ago - I've seen it. Don't know about any of the others.

http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&a...10:fcfixqegldde Reissued in 2004, don't know if it's still available. Disagree with Yanow about the organ - Buckner was a powerhouse, and this band rocks!

I was a young jazz enthusiast at the time, not yet 21, and I remember being totally blown away. The album, good as it is, is tame in comparison to my memory! New York to Boston is a 4 hour + drive - I expect they would have flown up. There were cheap shuttle flights between NY and Boston back then. Lennie's was north of Boston, about 15-20 miles from the airport. Jacquet was New York based, not sure where Buckner lived.

Working my way through Sarah Vaughan & Jack Teagarden Capitol - both recently acquired.

I saw them at Lennie's that early that week. I remember Lennie (the host) announcing that they would be recording the gig on the weekend. Of course, I bought the album when it came out later. $400 dollars was pretty good pay at that time, easily the equivalent of 3 or 4 times that now, although they played six nights and a Sunday matinee, which was typical in those days. The transportation costs probably include air fare. There was a motel up the street from the club, and usually the club took care of providing rides to and from the club, and it wouldn't surprise me if Lennie's also got them to and from the airport as well. Dawson was a local musician, and no doubt provided his own transportation.

Do you have this one? I have always been curious about it - I have the other Mainieri Solid State LP. Like you , I've only got Journey Thru an Electric Tube , which IMO , is a record that in its best moments approaches Burton-Coryell territory , but one that , given the psych-rock vocalizing and fuzz guitar , I find that I'm not in the mood for all that often . Insight , being a quartet date , might cleave more closely to a Burton-Coryell dynamic and as such might be of greater interest to me , though I must admit to never really having been knocked out by Joe Beck's playing . I had both records back in the day. Liked "Insight" better. The Burton/Coryell comparison is apt, it's a quartet date, while "Journey" is a mixed bag that works only partly.

Both these tracks have been out before, perhaps not legitimately. The Zurich concert (4/8/60) is on Jazz Unlimited 2031. The Netherlands concert (4/9/60) is on Unique Jazz 19 and Natasha 4002. Have the Zurich Jazz Unlimited edition and I'm not sure if its legit either (although it looks professionally done especially the cd booklet) and the sound is very very good; so I guess that would leave just one live track that I don't have.....think I'll pass. Jazz Unlimited was a wing of Storyville, based in Denmark. They issued their "grey area" material on JU. Unique Jazz and Natasha are definitely bootleg releases.

One thing that might turn people off is that there is considerable overdubbing of the reed parts. Tastefully done, I'd say, like the two Zoot Sims records.

That would depend on how much buildup there is. I wouldn't go to any great lengths, just leave it.

Elmer's White glue works fine for me. Use it sparingly. Put a few drops on the label and spread it around with your finger. Apply the label to the surface carefully. After it has dried, if there is any residue you can remove it with a damp paper towel. Fortunately, the glue is water soluble, so you can't do any permanent damage if it gets anywhere other than where you want it.

Whoopee!!!

Forced them? Look who composed When I Dream of You. The arrangement is a dog, agreed. Nice tenor on the instrumental side.

Allen, Ever heard of the Naked City release?

FWIW, I auctioned a copy of this on Ebay recently for significantly less - under $20.00! $99.00 is a little steep. It's probably not the record he wants, anyway.

No others that I know of. Those of us familar with the Tenor Conclave LP caught the error right away.

Saw him at the 1369 when I was about 13-14 with my Dad. He went in in front of me and they almost didn't let me in. Rhythm section didn't bring much that night, but then, Griff rarely needed help. I'm in good company! I was at the 1369 gig, also saw him at the Regattabar one time (he played there a few times). The first time I saw him was at Jonathan Swift's in Harvard Square around 1980. Steve, I expect you were there as well! Always played his ass off!!

A true giant! Got to see him a couple of times. RIP

As traumatic as the event was, you are very lucky that nobody was killed or permanently injured. Hoping for a speedy recovery for your mom!!

First off, bear in mind that this is the same soap that one uses to wash dishes. I doubt that there is any discernable film left on my dishes after I wash them. I have been using this method for about 40 years with excellent results. In regards to toothbrushes, remember that this is the same device that rubs up against your gums, so by definition it is not abrasive. Record surfaces are far more durable than human gums!

Soap and water will do the job, and will not harm the record. Liquid dishwashing detergent and a soapy sponge are all you need. Lather up both sides of the record with the soapy sponge, moving the sponge is circular motions all around the label, then rinse with lukewarm running water, making sure you have rinsed off all of the soap. Let dry in a dish rack, and after about a half hour, dry the beads of water with a paper towel. 99% of the time this is all you need to do. If there are still patches of grime, you may need to scrub those areas more vigorously. An old toothbrush with liquid detergent applied directly will do the job, and again, it will not harm the record.

This recording was made by Gerry MacDonald, an amateur recordist and jazz fan. Apparently it was made in MacDonald's living room. I agree that the piano is not so great, but Zoot is really on, and it's one of my favorite Zoot records. I especially love the version of Neal Hefti's "Fred", originally written for Fred Astaire. This is the tune that led off the original Choice LP.

I gasped when I saw the thread title. Jo is one of my favorite singers. RIP

Agree with many of the above comments, but this set isn't aimed at us anyway. More product to confuse the novice buyer. One of my pet peeve phrases: "hand picked".
