Maybe it was a hackers gang called the brazilian bluenote badboys

If you read this AAJ thread, it tells you what happened. Hopefully not over here. Maybe a similar thing happened to the Blue Note Forum Server, and they just didn't admit?

Yeah, that was it! Couldn't recall the title, thanks a lot!

Yeah, that's a good selection, and still in print!

I'd say let's wait some more days or perhaps the whole week to give the others a chance to post their comments. I'd rather wait than miss JSngry or couw or Soul Stream or whoever hasn't commented yet. Or are they just taking their time? Anyway, don't be disappointed, Dan, it's a great disc, I play it often!

I once had a Japanese VeeJay double LP of Hank with the Wynton Kelly trio, is that identical to the Fresh Sound?

That Dolphy cover is my favourite so far (if it only had happened ......)! The Cassanda-nite is nice too ...

For those interested, here's a list of the Tucker LPs of the late 1970's: Title - label & # - recording place & date - personnel Triplicity - Xanadu 128 - NYC, December 22, 1975 Mickey Tucker p, org on side 2 Gene Perla b Eddie Gladden d Jimmy Ponder g on organ tracks Sojourn see above Doublet - Dan VC-8501 (Japan) - probably Tokyo, November 15, 1976 Tucker p Cameron Brown b Toshio Oshumi d Sweet Lotus Lips - Denon YX-7535 (Japan) - Tokyo, June 3, 1978 Tucker p Reggie Workman b Horacee Arnold d Theme for a Woogie Boogie - Denon YX-7804 - NYC, November 15 & 16, 1978 Louis Smith tp Curtis Fuller tb Jimmy Buffington frh George Coleman as & ts Tucker p Takashi "Gon" Mizuhashi b Eddie Gladden d Nobu Urushiyama perc The Denon CD DC-8552 is titled Sweet Lotus Lips includes only 5 of the 6 tracks of that LP, but adds all of Theme for a Woogie Boogie! The Crawl - Muse MR 5223 / K22P-6047 (Japan) - NYC, May 16, 1979 Marcus Belgrave tp Slide Hampton tb Junior Cook ts Tucker p Earl May b Billy Hart d Ted Dunbar g on one track Mister Mysterious - Muse MR 5174 - Englewood Cliffs, June 23, 1978 Cecil Bridgewater tp Frank Foster ts, ss, fl Pepper Adams bs Tucker p Cecil McBee b Eddie Gladden d Ray Mantilla perc on two tracks Azzedin Weston cga on one track I can recommend all of them for anybody who likes Tucker's playing from one occasion, or his writing - he wrote all the material for the larger groups and most on the others. Then there are some Steeplechase albums which can be viewed on their Tucker page It is true that he moved to Australia.

Bill Hardman tp Junior Cook ts Ronnie Cuber bs Mickey Tucker p Cecil McBee b Eddie Gladden d RCA Studios, NYC, March 28, 1977 Engineer: Paul Goodman Xanadu 143 Whoever said it is under-rehearsed never listened to that album. All tracks were composed and arranged by Tucker and are his impressions of a European tour with the Jazz Messengers - his quotes in Bob Blumenthal's notes are much fun to read, and the music is full of Tucker's own take on humour in music - if I had but one album to pick as Tucker's most impressive, I'd probably choose Sojourn! Great playing from all involved. Highly recommended!

Got around to go through this thread only now, I got 54 incl. West Coast etc. listed in this thread. Didn't count the Larry Young and Freddie Redd as I've got the Mosaics. Had the Tina Brooks Mosaic but put it on ebay after I had the Conns since I didn't like Minor Move - which I don't have. Didn't get the Criss Imperials - had them on three Japanese CDs which I put on ebay - like the Prestiges much better. Got rid of the Dodo Greene, Jutta Hipp, Harold Vick, they didn't grow enough on me after repeated listens. Didn't get the LaRoca or Jenkins as I have Japanese LPs - oh, I sold the Jenkins later on. Each of these has its merits, it's just that may storage space and budget are limited ... I intended to buy all Verve Elites, although I'm not a completist - but got rid of some of these as well: The Stitt, the Hank Jones, the Tal Farlow, the Konitz, the Johnny Smith .... the ones I didn't buy were the Meade Lux Lewis, the Kelly (had it on LP and found it downright boring), the Farmer, the Alan Shorter, the Teagarden, the Edison (If I had known Jimmy Forrest is on it I would have got it for sure), the Bauer, the Eldridge, the Washington, the Brown (this may be one to hunt), the Russell (disappointing compared to the others I have), the Jazztet and the Schifrin. But the one I have I dig very much - the Elites and the Conns.

No folks, that photo's too much like sleeping between the sheets of music ... No wonder they do so few reissues at Blue Note: they just can't do it right for you guys !

I can clearly feel the message, but would like to see a "serious" take on the Train Wreck cover as well B) To complete the series of Blue Note sessions stranded on Black Lion, how about the Stanley Cowell Trio with Steve Novosel and Jimmy Hopps recorded at the same June 1969 stay in London as Tolliver's Ringer LP? It was called Travellin' Man

Great interview, many thanks. Saddening to read how he thought of his albums waiting on the Blue Note vault shelves, considering they included some of his greatest compositional achievements.

That happened to me with a track on test # 2, an LP I had listened to just a few months ago. So it goes. I ordered the Gaslini CD a few days ago, I will post my thoughts about the Suite as a whole here after a few spins.

After a review in downbeat stating is was not up to the great sides he recorded for Blue Note, I listened to it in a shop and thought it was too repetitive, not as varied and creative in its approach as the older recordings. If you're not an avid Meade Lux Lewis or Boogie Woogie collector, the Mosaic or the single Blue Note CD would be more satisfying. I'd say give it a listen first and decide by yourself.

Thanks, Dan, to turning me to the jewels in my LP collection that I don't pull out that often. I've got the answer to # 6. I have it, and should have recognized a Dameron tune - I share his birthday and he's always been on of my favourite composers. At least my feeling that I should know all these guys was right. It's Sid's Delight, but not Dameronia, but that is pretty close. And it's not Philly Joe, but .... Bruyninckx has detailed personnel listings for each track on that LP that I suggested for # 8, AMG lists only collective personnel. If he's right, it's Green. It's a damn nice CD to keep on spinnin' all day!

Now that only confirms that Mary Lou Williams' appartement was the meeting place of the bop generation, where ideas where exchanged - it may be hard to determine who had a certain idea first ... Prof. Fitzgerald, do you recall the name of Mary Lou's tune that was there before Opus Caprice and Rhythm-a-ning?

This is GREAT fun!!! Wish I had some time to spend learning to handle my graphics software, instead I'n sittin' here reading posts ...

"Hackensack" was composed over the chord changes of "Lady Be Good" (it probably pre-dates his Blue Note recordings, BTW). Don't know why they didn't credit Monk on the Burrell record. Many possible reasons come to my mind ... Perhaps there were copyright hassles, there is a Coleman Hawkins tune "Rifftide" that is the same, as in other cases (Rhythm-a-ning/Opus Caprice pre-dated by an identical Mary Lou Williams tune).

And could this rare bird be the solution for track # 8? Again, if you don't wanna know, stay away, others are welcome to discuss this.

I considered Joe Williams with a cold, too ... If that's not Joe Williams, I'll eat my hat (provided, that is, that my hat's made out of two slices of bread and some cheese...) Reminds me of betting my left little finger on the drummer on track # 5! Very interesting discussion of a great test! I'm totally certain there is no Eddie Harris nowhere on this disc, BTW. The guess of a Benny Golson/Curtis Fuller reunion for # 6 seems plausible. And after a little research, I may have solved the riddle of the Watermelon Man - if you don't wanna know or haven't posted yet, stay away from this link

VERY interesting to read the differing reactions on the Gaslini side, in both threads, before & after! That's what this thing called blindfold test is all about!!!

I'll take liberties to post two covers designed by couw and posted in the obscure albums thread, of Blue Note sessions not released at the time: I think they're great, especially the first one, and I hope you don't mind John, but I think they belong here!

Yeah, mine too, although I think some of the percussion banging and rattling is overdone.
