I own it and am glad for it, though I will never re-listen to some of the discs. The discs with Friesen are really good, prime Waldron.

Great stuff, thanks for sharing!

You are correct on "Do The Screw", but "He HIt Me..." was actually a lavishly produced A-side. But it creeped out too many people and did not chart, despite their songs immediately before it ("Uptown") and immediate after it ("He's a Rebel") being huge hits and absolute classics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/He_Hit_Me_(And_It_Felt_Like_a_Kiss)

All too common in that era. Especially creepy the more you know about Phil Spector. And Gerry Goffin for that matter. Carole King did outgrow that stuff by 'Tapestry'.

She's just trying to get Johnny angry.

Fascinating stuff, thanks!

I do, right up my alley. Added to my ebay importcds watch list, thanks!

Sorry, busy day at work, and I didn't even notice it was a youtube clip. Will take a listen, but still looking forward to CT's description, and appreciate yours!

Clifford, can you describe the music on it?

I am enamored of Wanda De Sah's contributions. Really enjoyable singer. Not sure what happened to her, she just sort of disappeared for 30 years after these two recordings. Also, I'm in for at least some of the original premise of this thread from many years ago. Brasil 66's "Fool on the Hill" just blows away the original by that moptop long-forgotten-flash-in-the-pan Liverpool crew.

Amen!

And I can sell you mine if you want, as I now have it all on individual CD's.

I count four Savoy titles and three Muse titles, which will fill out a four or five CD box just fine. "Not enough titles" from the company that brought us Freddie Redd and Don Cherry boxes with three albums on two CD's?

It's about branding as much as anything, and Hoffman is a "brand". Starbucks has low-quality coffee, but have created an extremely attractive brand which enables them to sell it at jacked up prices and have people standing in line for the privilege of paying. https://www.quora.com/Why-is-Starbucks-considered-bad-by-coffee-purists-Why-do-people-hate-sneer-at-Starbucks

Me too, have been watching for it to be on CD for 30 years.

PM sent on these, with exception that if I get a DVD in the box set, don't want a separate of same DVD: DVDs $10 John Coltrane, Dexter Gordon, Dave Brubeck, Sarah Vaughan Bonus Disk Series Two Jazz Icons Sealed Sonny Rollins "Live in '65 & '68" Jazz Icons Sealed Cannonball Adderley "Live in '63" Jazz Icons Sealed Rahsaan Roland Kirk "Live in '63 & '67" Jazz Icons Sealed Dizzy Gillespie "Live in '58 & '70" Jazz Icons Sealed Thelonious Monk "Live in '66" Jazz Icons Sealed $7 John Coltrane "Live in '60, '61 & '65" Jazz Icons Wes Montgomery "Live in '65" Jazz Icons Dexter Gordon "Live in '63 & '64" Jazz Icons Dave Brubeck "Live in '64 & '65" Jazz Icons Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers "Live in '58" Jazz Icons

Not sure how much would be available to add. As has been discussed elsewhere on the forum, there isn't all that much non-rejected unreleased BN material from the first lifetime.

PM sent on Christian Scott - "Christian Ajunde Adjuah"

Thanks Wayne, sure I will. Was it Maria Schneider that we were together for at the Philly Art Museum many years ago?

PM sent on Chet Baker "At Onkel Po's Carnegie Hall" Hamburg 1979 Jazz Line NDR (Sealed) Maria Schneider Orchestra "Sky Blue" (a couple of light scuff marks that doesn't effect play and the booklet is pretty beat up) Maria Schneider Orchestra "Concert in the Garden" Promo Maria Schneider Orchestra "Days of Wine and Roses" Sealed Maria Schneider Orchestra "Allegresse" Enja Sealed (cut out notch in spine) Maria Schneider Jazz Orchestra "Evanescence" Enja (a couple of light scuff marks that doesn't effect play) Maria Schneider Jazz Orchestra "Coming About" Enja (a couple of light scuff marks that doesn't effect play)

Great set at a great price from a great seller who I have known for many years.

Isn't a lot of jazz also formulaic? Even someone like Pharoah Sanders, when I was listening to those early 70's albums, I could correctly predict "OK, this is the spot in his solo where he will go from mellow to freak out". As far as the early Monkees music being good, in addition to Boyce & Hart and the Wrecking Crew, Goffin & King made contributions ("Pleasant Valley Sunday" for one), and Neil Diamond was a believer. I have nothing against records of Goffin/King songs played by the Wrecking Crew, many of them are awesome to me. And I was a "rock" guy, WEBN Jelly Pudding in Cincinnati, WMMR in Philly, but never felt the need to choose sides in the divide. Nothing more glorious than a perfect 3-minute single.

IFWIW, my procedure is to check theseconddisc.com (shows new releases for the week every Friday) , superdeluxeedition.com (shows coming releases for the week every Monday), and the new releases section on allmusic.com (shows new releases for the week every Friday), as well as following along in the neighborhood here. The first two sites I mentioned carry limited jazz coverage, but are fabulous for rock/pop/soul releases, especially reissues.

Nah, something like your first Kenny G CD would rate behind more Woody Shaw....
