Most Atlantic LPs recorded when they started using stereo sound better in mono - practically all Coltranes, MJQ, and Blakey's with Monk - the latter being a particulat annoying example. Monk on one channel, the rest of the band on the other! How dumb can one be?

It's not my find - it's in the Tom Lord Discography, which probably has it fom Ruppli/Cuscuna's Blue Note Discography, so Michael should know about it. Spinning Song For My Daughter right now - mesmerizing renditions of Scarborough Fair and Ron Carter's Eighty-One (Wilson was great at selecting tunes by his peers!). Billy Byers wrote very original string arrangements, much like his work for Hampton Hawes. That said - all of Wilson's albums deserve a reissue - they're all excellent, IMO:

Just found this: The discographical details make you wish they had issued the whole album and not just the single: Philip Guilbeau And His Creole Stompers : Phil Guilbeau (tp) Andrew Hill (p) Edgar Willis (b) Bruno Carr (d) New York, November 7, 1961 5769 I wish I didn't love you so (unissued) 5770 Over the rainbow - 5771 This love of mine - 5772 Blues for Helen - 5773 Where or when - 5774 Ooh-la-la Atl 5025 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Phil Guilbeau (tp) Arthur Jenkins (p) Sonny Forriest (g) Henry Grimes (b) Bruno Carr (d) New York, February 26, 1962 5961 Creole walk Atlantic 5025 5962 Untitled original (unissued) 5963 Untitled original - 5964 Untitled original - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Andrew Hill with members of the Ray Charles band of the time ........

Yes, but Ray Brown is the featured bass/cello player on this album, Buster in a supporting role.

How about these unissued Jack Wilson recordings: Jack Wilson (p,el-p) Ike Isaacs (b,el-b) Donald Bailey (d) Live "Memory Lane", Los Angeles (Set no. 1), July 8, 1970 Tears inside (unissued) Blue Note Medley: - Spiritual - Four and one - Street scene - Night mist - Caravan - Soulin' - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ same pers.

They sure were hard to come by - I remember wanting to hear Fletcher Hendrson recordings back in the 1970's after reading about them, and there was noting available until French CBS repressed "A Study In Frustration". I still have that 4 LP box.

Yes, but the books on top need some support!

It was issued in 1996!

I pre-ordered from amazon UK - thanks for mentioning this option. Twenty Euros incl. shipping, compared to almost three times as much from amazon.de.

It's a CD well worth having. They were an excellent quartet.

Since nobody opened this annual thread so far, I thought I'd post this link to an overview by the Jazz Journalists Association: http://news.jazzjournalists.org/2019/01/final-bars-of-2018/ As always, too many ....

Got mine but will not have time to post the Percy France tracks before the weekend. This will take me some time to dig in, but it is a treasure trove, that's for sure. Doc Cheatham side by side with Julius Hemphill, just to name a pairing on disc one - ideal working ground for musicians that hate to be pigeonholed.

Not only in Zurich .....

Excellent music!

This is mandatory for every Jack Wilson / Roy Ayers fan. Great playing. A lovingly produced issue with great notes and photos.

Excellent idea!

That Gil Evans sound great on that disc, even if one doesn't have a SACD player - someone should grab it. IIRC it was the first stereo release of that session from the original session tapes.
