Eruh... Don't the examples in the first post suggest otherwise? Wishful thinking ...... Well ..... I have one sax/piano track in mind but can't put it down ..... but usually I mentally edit out Buddy Rich and take Lester Young with Nat Cole as a duo.

Such a nice disc, especially the vocal tracks I like a lot, but no time for anything but background listening - too much work to be done. I decided not to peak and wait until less busy times return to post my comments. Thanks a lot for the fine selections - this is the first time I didn't get around to post my guesses in time .....

Done!

Oh - I see you already posted the answers ..... I'm sorry but so many things are keepin' me too busy for concentrated listening, although I really dig this disc. I promise I won't peak at the others' guesses nor the answers and post my comments as soon as our new water piping etc. is done .....

The takes on Jammin' are truncated - the only issue that had the takes as complete as possible was the two LPs on Fresh Sound - one had the Warwick LP as issued, the other the alternates. That Jammin' is a bootleg to be avoided. Due to most themes edited off it is an unpleasant listening experience. Teddy Charles produced the session and played on one track: From Noal Cohen's Teddy Charles Discography. I remember mailing him the timings of both Fresh Sound LPs and descriptions of the solo routines of each track to help him find out if Charles was on more tracks. I repeat: Avoid that Jammin' in every form! You're better off with any of the Fresh Sound issues!

And, for anyone wishing to hear Joe with a more modern rhythm section, this is it: I Love My Woman Joe Newman Featuring: Joe Newman (tp), Hank Jones (p), George Duvivier (b), Alan Dawson (d). Black & Blue BB970

Back to Joe: This is one of my favourites: The Count's Men Joe Newman Featuring: Joe Newman (tp), Frank Wess (fl, ts), Frank Foster (ts), Benny Powell (tb), Sir Charles Thompson (p), Ed Jones (b), Shadow Wilson (d) Shadow Wilson drives the band maginificently with an incredibly fat snare sound!

Stumbled over this one some years ago:

Oh, come on, Mike! Don't you just love that one! I do Nice Idea, ugly girl, badly painted ...

Most 1950's Savoy covers.

Same here - I had the Jazzlore LP reissue which suffered from the muted trumpet sounding distorted.

Cal Tjader - but I'd compile even groovier tracks. Here's a list (probably not complete): George Benson Willie Bobo Buddy Greco Quincy Jones Les Mccann Shirley Scott Walter Wanderley Wes Montgomery Jimmy Smith Cal Tjader Astrud Gilberto Lalo Schifrin Roland Kirk Many of those Talkin' Verve compilations do not select the really grooviest/greaziest tracks, IMO.

BFT fatigue ....... Keep bumpin'!

Super Blue received rave reviews back then by German Hi-Fi magazines for its great sound - can you confirm this?

As I understand the thread title, it's duos with two saxes (and rhythm ad lib), not sax and another different instrument ... Marsh and Konitz came to mind first. Coltrane and Dolphy I like, Dolphy and Oliver Nelson, Dolphy and Ken McIntyre. I have a very nice Don Schlitten produced MPS session with James Moody and Al Cohn. There are lots of fine sax pairings ....

I just wondered why I overlooked to post in this thread .... anyway, I always loved every Kenny Dorham I heard on record. Always liked him a lot more than Miles, trumpet wise and from the vibes I get from him. A real special trumpet player, and a great composer as well. If he's still not in the down beat hall of fame it's a shame!

Did a comparative listening session with Mr. Bassman recently - my favourite was Eduardo Mata's with the Dallas Symphony on Dorian - great recorded natural sound, too!

so every version has cut of those 2 seconds? JB No - the single Atlantic CD available before the box set had the complete track.

Yes, my best wishes for both of them!

Count me in! Will PM soon!

Burton is touring Germany almost every year - his German agent leaves in nearby Wiesbaden and manages to squeeze in a gig here on practically every tour. Maybe I should go see him again. Saw him 10 years ago and didn't find him too exciting - well rounded, but nothing extraordinary.

What an amazing talent, considering that this album and Bitches Brew were his first two sessions, and that the basic traits of his style were firmly in place even then. When he plays a groove but with his special kind of looseness, I find it very attractive. I like Hill's writing for larger groups very much. Played this to Mr. Bassman recently (he was amazed at how many sessions with different styles Lenny did), and he was puzzled at this unorthodox approach to large ensemble writing.

Without doubt, one of the greatest baritone sax records ever made!

Well - they were guests sitting in. When the band played their regular arrangements they would have had to read their part. The regular guys in the band knew them better. They couldn't do descargas all the time!
