Sentimental Journey - Les Brown Orch w/ Doris Day, vocal Definitely know this one!

Same here!! Is this my first exposure to age-ism???

Fraternity was based in Cincinatti, IIRC, but I wouldn't characterize them as a country label. Their biggest hit prior to "So Rare" was "Ivory Tower" by Cathy Carr. I suspect that Dorsey may have produced the session himself, and sold it to Fraternity.

And it's not even an original pressing!!! How come I never get bids like that?? Presumably a real 'original' has '47W 63rd New York 23' on one of the labels? Oh dear ! The original would have the Lexington Ave address. This pressing is from around 1960 or later. No. This record has been issued originally on two label variations : ONE with the 47W63rd labels on both sides (sold here), ANOTHER ONE with mixed labels NY23 / 47W63rd. Those two were issued at the same time using a stock of old and recent labels. Both labels variations are original editions. Last Lexigton labels both sides were around 1542/1543. This 3300 $ record is an original pressing, sold by a very reputable NYC dealer. This record, was a poor seller among Mobley's records, and has never been reissued by Blue Note in the 60's. It only exists on this two forms. It is considered as one of the rarest Blue Note records. Depending on sources, between 600 and 2000 copies have been pressed. I stand corrected. Getting the whole Blue Note succession of labels/addresses, etc is something I'll never get straight! The record was recorded (and the catalog number was assigned) in 1957. Does anybody know when the record was actually pressed and released? And, FWIW, I never intended to impugn the integrity of Fred Cohen & the Jazz Record Center. I've known Fred for 30 years, and he most certainly knows his stuff.

True, Dorsey is definitely the alto soloist on "So Rare", but I believe that Stabile does play on some of the tracks on the subsequent LP, which was issued after JD's death. Tommy died two weeks after "So Rare" was recorded. Did he actually get a chance to hear the record?

Topsy Part 2 was a huge hit in the States back in the late 1950's. I remember watching the kids dance to it on American Bandstand. Shake a Lady, Shampoo, and Like Young got lots of airplay on jazz radio back in the day - don't believe they actually crossed over to pop.

Looking at the front cover, one can assume that this is an all star date with no leader, something Prestige did regularly. On the back cover however, Young's name is shown in much larger type at the top, like this: WEBSTER YOUNG, cornet with Paul Quinichette, tenor sax Joe Puma, guitar Mal Waldron, piano Earl May, bass Ed Thigpen, drums Five of the tunes are songs associated with Billie Holiday. The title track is a Webster Young original composition. Mal Waldron contributed two arrangements to the date.

The Vancouver concert (January 30, 1965 according to Astrup) was issued on vinyl - "The Canadian Concert of Stan Getz", Can-Am 1300. It sounds to have been dubbed from a somewhat noisy disk source, not a tape, although the sound quality is pretty good. I wonder if Gambit has been able to clean it up?

At the time I thought their first four albums were brilliant. After that, they got just a liitle too "out", and not very funny. Haven't had any desire to listen to them lately, but I still think "Don't Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me the Pliers" is a classic.

We just came back from a magnificent fireworks display over Lake Quannapowitt in my home town of Wakefield, Mass. No matter how old I get, I still love the fireworks! sssssssssssssssssssssssss BOOM

The Buckley RCA 10" LP was recorded in 1955. The track on the 1970's RCA compilation is an alternate take (different musical backing), although it doesn't say so.

I've purposely kept Blue Note out of this thread -- since there are SO many BN studio dates that were released years later. So, NO BLUE NOTE DATES, unless they were recorded for some other label, and then later released by Blue Note. My bad. I need to look at the thread title a little more carefully.

Some of the unreleased Blue Notes are as good as anything that was issued when new. I especially like: Lee Morgan - Tom Cat Grant Green - Nigeria Hank Mobley - A Slice Of the Top Sonny Clark - My Conception also: Bud Powell/Don Byas - A Tribute To Cannonball (Columbia) With a little thought, I can definitely come up with plenty more!

That's a good plan. It's the detractors/trolls who are missing out. FWIW, Kenny Burrell has long been one of my favorite musicians, for a variety of reasons.

Turk Murphy, Lu Watters, and Bob Scobey all recorded for Verve during the Granz years.

Cub was a subsidiary of MGM created long before they acquired Verve. The Quotations were on Verve long before the label was acquired by MGM.

Downloaded the folder, and unzipped it. There are 13 tracks, which I was able to burn to two CD's, and I will begin to listen to in the car on my way to work this morning!

OK, I've deleted the .rar file I downloaded last night, but when I right click on the link in your first post, I get "Webpage is Unavailable". Maybe this is a temporary situation? I am familiar with Zip files, and should have no trouble unzipping it, if I can only get the damned thing!

OK, I've downloaded the compressed file, and now I'm supposed to buy the software so I can open it? I went to the website, and saw that their is a trial version available, but I don't know which one to get! How about a little assistance for those of us older folks who are trying, but are somewhat technologically challenged!

13 out of 20. Not sure I can tell Heath, Butter Brickle, & Skor apart!

The man has mad me laugh for the last 40 years - one of the greatest, smartest, and funniest!

Byas is wonderful on this. Rodriguez was very popular in Portugal, and she has a lovely soulful style. Although it may seem like strange bedfellows, Byas compliments her perfectly.
