Cedar Walton 'Eastern Rebellion' Vols 1 to 4
Agreed. I was actually going back in to add those when I saw your post. Vol. 1 especially with George Coleman on board.
Yeah - it's still the best of those fine albums. Issued in the US on Muse (although the rest were Timeless only I think).
Actually on Impulse! in the US (as was Blakey's "Album of the Year" and a couple of other titles).
I have Eastern Rebellion on a Muse LP.
You're both right.
Got it. What I have on Impulse! are CD's.

I purchased my first CD burner in 1997, I still have the very first CDR I made and it plays perfectly, in fact I've never had a CDR "go bad" (unless it got badly scratched).
Same here, never have had a failure.

How the Music Industry Can Get Digital Satisfaction If you can't beat them, join them.By L. GORDON CROVITZ
The music industry played one sour note after another as digital technology undermined its traditional business models. But after suing some 35,000 music fans for illegally downloading songs, music honchos decided not to sue the more than seven million others. Instead, the industry has concluded that if it can't beat them, it might as well join them in enjoying the benefits of technology. This marks a milestone in what might be called the Great Unbundling.
Digital technology is a powerful disaggregator, giving consumers the power to pick and choose what we want, how we want it, and when and where we want it. Instead of buying a 14-song CD, people can download one favorite. Instead of owning physical CDs, we own access to digital copies. Instead of having to use a stationary stereo, we can play songs on our iPods, phones or laptops.
Other industries are still coming to terms with the unbundling power of digital technology -- think of video, books and news -- which makes the music industry's story timely. Recorded music for decades was sold as physical products, albums via phonographs, cassettes, then CDs. For young programmers, finding ways to download and share songs digitally (and usually illegally) became an early application of the Web. Napster and similar file-sharing services were shut down in the early 2000s as the music industry fought illegal downloads.
But shifts in how people access music can mean rethinking the entire value proposition. As music-industry critics David Kusek and Gerd Leonhard predicted several years ago, "Access to music will replace ownership of it. We have passed through the Industrial Age to the Information Age, and music will never be the same again." There are now about half as many CD sales in the U.S. as in 2000. A few years ago, record executives in London were shocked when young people refused even free CDs.
The industry should by now understand that the way to get "Back in Black" is not in album CDs, which remain the biggest source of revenue. Instead, the future is sales of digital songs and ring tones, licensing to video games, and trying to get rights to concerts and other revenues associated with the musicians.
Just in the past month, the Recording Industry Association of America abandoned its previous theme song of "Bring Lawyers, Guns and Money" by announcing it would no longer sue downloaders, except in exceptional circumstances. This means kids will no longer be sued for downloading songs for personal use.
Instead, the trade group will work with Internet service providers to identify the worst offenders. The association will track people who grossly infringe copyright and alert the ISPs, which will remind users that downloading music illegally is a violation of service agreements that could lead to the service being cut off. A study found that 70% of people in Britain would stop illegally sharing files if their ISP told them it had detected the violation. ISPs would benefit because a limited number of music downloaders hog bandwidth, and they may also hope this approach could work to limit abuse of online video.
The music industry also reversed its longtime strategy of limiting digital rights. The recording companies recently agreed that Apple's iTunes Store can sell songs without copy protection, which means that buyers can listen to them on devices other than their iPod or iPhone. They also agreed to price points above and below the flat 99 cents that Apple had used. The iTunes Store has redefined convenience for consumers, last year becoming the world's leading music retailer, dislodging Wal-Mart.
Unbundling has made singles -- disaggregated from albums -- the big winner. Last year was the biggest ever in Britain for the sale of singles, combining downloads and CDs. There can even be new bundles: Buyers of Nokia's "Comes with Music" mobile phone will get the right to download unlimited songs to the owner's phone and computers, with the participating music publisher paid a share of the price of the phone.
The music industry is the first disrupted industry to understand that people are willing to pay for what's otherwise free (albeit illegal) if it's convenient, well-packaged and reasonably priced. This is a lesson other parts of the media and entertainment business still fight by making their content available for free in the digital medium while charging for it in other channels.
The embrace of technology didn't happen until the traditional music companies had no option. Other industries should stop wailing that they "Can't Get No Satisfaction" and instead work on their own versions of "The Times, They Are A-Changin.'" Consumers will always want choice. When technology provides it, the best response is to find ways to give customers what they want.

Been buying from them for about 20 years. They are slow. You have to live with that. IIRC, in the winter they only work the store/site on weekends and during the warm seasons they concentrate on real people. Wouldn't want to be without them.
My experiences with them (probably a dozen orders over five or so years) have all been good.

While browsing through some Adams/Pullen quartet stuff I noticed that their
albums on Timeless Records are now available from eMusic - as well as tons
of other releases on that label. Awesome, I still don't have most of that stuff!
I hope this goes for American eMusic subscribers as well, not just us Europeans.
Post your Timeless recommendations here!
Pharoah Sanders - Africa (to me, clearly the best album he's ever done, features the great John Hicks)
Art Blakey & Jazz Messengers - Album of the Year (with Bobby Watson, James Williams, pre-snobbery Wynton Marsalis)

Davis ,Lockjaw/Sonny Stitt – Davis/Stitt (LRC) full album by each $3
Is this the session recorded at Birdland in 1954, some of which was issued on Roost?
MG
No, it is two unrelated sessions, one by Davis and the other by Stitt, of what is apparently mid-70's material. Not an impressive disc to me. The Davis session, with Milt Buckner, is totally uninspired and the weakest playing by Davis I ever heard. The Stitt looks interesting on paper, with underheard Philly pianist Gerald Price on board, but is a train wreck with a drummer who is utterly clueless, sounds like he's playing on a totally different record with a totally different repertoire. Both brought to you by the ever-shadowy Sonny Lester.

I've got to put this one on again soon! In the meantime I also got "Now!", which is again a very different animal (and different from what's called "Hutcherson on Blue Note" above, too). Not nearly as intriguing as "Head On", but still worth mentioning, I think.
"Slow Change" and "Hello To The Wind" on 'Now!' are spectacular, Gene McDaniels' greatest moments (and very different than either "Compared to What" or, especially "A Hundred Pounds of Clay"!).
-
Gotta say, though, that "I like the reharmonization, but find the soloing quite pedestrian" sums up how I feel about a lot of both Evans & Guaraldi, allowing for a tad of conversational color & such.
But they are very good choices for when the wife tells you to put on some dinner music for the guests to enjoy. Although I almost always go with the MJQ 'Last Concert' or the solo Kenny Barron set 'Spiral' in those cases.
-
I second those (particularly the Sam Rivers disc) with the exception of
Hipnosis - I'm hoping they'll pick High Frequency first. It's the last remaining
BN session of his that was part of the old (and long OOP) big mosaic box
and hasn't been put out on CD in other form yet. It's the only BN McLean
session that I don't have on CD yet.
Totally with you on JMac 'High Frequency' - can't think of a BN CD I'd rather see released. OTOH, I've always considered 'A New Conception' to be something of a disaster, that the rhythm section and Rivers aren't in sync or something (I've only heard it twice, 25 years apart, but was turned off both times). Maybe I just can't hear it somehow, but I like the other Rivers BN"s and even his freer stuff on Impulse! etc. just fine.

Doesn't Martino also play electric 12-string on DESPERADO and (parts of) the Prestige session he made with Eric Kloss and the Corea / Holland / DeJohnette rhtym section?
Yes. I don't like the sound he got on 12-string on 'Desperado'.

From the Associated Press, found on MSNBC.com:
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Music sales have continued to slump in 2008 as the increased number of downloads of digital tracks failed to make up for a plunge in the sale of compact discs.
Year-end sales figures released Wednesday by The Nielsen Co. show total album sales, including album equivalents made up of single digital tracks, fell to 428.4 million units, down 8.5 percent from 500.5 million in 2007.
Physical album sales fell 20 percent to 362.6 million from 450.5 million, while digital album sales rose 32 percent to a record 65.8 million units.
Digital track sales, such as those conducted in Apple Inc.'s iTunes Music Store, were up 27 percent from last year, breaking the 1 billion mark for the first time at 1.07 billion.
The report continues a troubling trend for the recording industry, which has a harder time maintaining profits when consumers buy single songs instead of albums. The number of transactions rose 10.5 percent to 1.5 billion, although the figure treats single track and whole album purchases the same.
"You can see the overall unit sales as a positive, but their model is really built on album sales and that just continues to decline," said Silvio Pietroluongo, director of charts for Billboard magazine.

I'm really looking forward to picking up Jackie's "One Step Beyond".
If you like Destination...Out! You'll LOVE One Step Beyond.
Agreed, as great as 'Destination....Out' is, 'One Step Beyond' is clearly better to me. If I could only have one Jackie McLean CD (what I sad thought!), this would be the one, as great as his other stuff is. This album is a landmark in jazz history. It, 'Destination Out!", Grachan Moncur's 'Evolution' (all from 1963), and 'Action' (from 1964) are the recordings that McLean did with Bobby Hutcherson, and all are spectacular. 'Action' has Charles Tolliver on the front line with McLean, and the others have Moncur, with Lee Morgan added on 'Evolution'. Amazing stuff.
-
... "Desperado" may be my favorite Martino album, but (listening to it now) "El Hombre" definitely has its appeal. All of Martino's Prestige albums sound very different to me; I like the variety.
"Desperado" ranks up there for me too. And I never tire of "East!" either. In fact, time to haul that one out and give it a spin! Eddie Green is no slouch either.
I remember not liking the sound Martino got on the 12-string on 'Desperado', and moving it along. 'El Hombre' on the other hand is a monster! Good, make that great, Philly Organ Jazz. From the same city that brought you Jimmy Smith, Charles Earland, and lots of others. 'Desperado' was also an all-Philly affair, using the Catalyst rhythm section (Eddie Green/the great Tyrone Brown/Sherman Ferguson). Both those albums were Martino working with musicians he probably came up with, rather than the usual excellent hired guns on 'Strings!" (Cedar Walton, Joe Farrell, et al), hence the difference in feel. I enjoy 'Strings!' a lot. I enjoy 'El Hombre' noticably more.

Location was on Strata, not Strata-East. Would love to check that out.
The Bert Myrick was also on Strata, not Strata-East. Had one tremendous 15 minute track, I think called "Scorpio" (not the Dennis Coffey "Scorpio"). I bought the album after hearing that track on WRTI in the mid-70's, but lost the album along the way at some point. Wish I still had it, although the rest of the album didn't come close to that one track in my memory.
-
And FWIW, Cox & Co. would not be considered "post-Trane", at least not in the sense of being "avant-garde" or "free".
Agreed. The Blue Notes sound very much like the Miles Quintet with Shorter/Hancock/Carter/Williams. That was pointed out ealier in the string, but I wanted to also give my agreement, as there is no avoiding the reference to my ears.
-
So many great albums, I don't even know where to begin. Open Sesame, Ready for Freddie, Hub-Tones, Blue Spirits, Straight Life, Red Clay.... and that doesn't even touch on the Atlantic stuff that I've never heard.
Remedied that with a trip to Half Price Books, where they had the 2-LP The Art of Freddie Hubbard. Spinning it right now; very nice!
Yeah, thats a nice set - I'm going to bring it out today too. A good way also to sample the 'Songmy' material.
The Atlantics are underrated. 'Sing Me a Song of Songmy' is patchy (it was an experiment which the Hubbard group was only one element) and 'A Soul Experiment' is a waste, but 'Backlash', 'High Blues Pressure' and 'The Black Angel' are all terrific.
-
Sad news. I too was hoping he would recover. RIP
Really sorry to hear this. At his best, he was my favorite trumpet player of all.
I only ever saw him once, and it was too late in his career to really experience his gifts, but it was quite entertaining all the same. At Penn's Landing in Philly in the early 90's (92?) there was weekend afternoon show which was supposed to be Dizzy Gillespie big band (I guess the United Nations Orchestra), but Dizzy took ill (he would die later that year), and the show instead was a big band tribute to Dizzy. The trumpet section was pretty awesome - Hubbard, Jon Faddis. and Wynton Marsalis. Hubbard and Faddis started messing around just doing high note pyrotechnics on every solo, having fun, and Marsalis looked like he wanted to throw up and purposely did all of his soloing in middle register in protest. The best moment of the show was when David Sanchez, then the supposed young hotshot on tenor (I was never very impressed), played a solo that you could tell he thought was hot stuff. Mario Rivera was next up at the mike, and Rivera first played Sanchez's solo note perfect, then played a comic, burlesque, version of the same solo, then played his own solo which blew away Sanchez's. Beautiful stuff.
My favorite Hubbard solos are "Aries" on the Impulse album 'The Body & the Soul', and "Ugetsu" on the Blakey Riverside album 'Ugetsu'. I consider his Blue Note/Impulse/Atlantic/CTI run from '60 to '73 to be an amazing accomplishment, covering a stunning range of styles incredibly well, and he had moments of brilliance even after that. I liked the first Columbia, 'High Energy', and liked his 80's work except for the blatant sell-out moments. He had a wonderful career and gifted us with some beautiful music.
