I heard them on YouTube, not sure if they are still there. One track, "Blues For Mr. Tatum" IIRC, was pretty standard issue Blue Note boogaloo, not that there's anything wrong with that. That's right, except it's 1968 not '63, I thought it was 5 tunes but it's 6 so I guess there's still one I haven't heard.

I know someone who knows Zev, but if I ever got to talk to him, or anyone at Blue Note, I'm not sure this would be my first priority.

It was on vinyl as the 2nd LP on the twofer issue of The Procrastinator: But it would be great to have it on its own, maybe as Untitled Boogaloo? I'd love to see the bonus tracks from the CD of Sixth Sense on their own too - I've heard the other two tunes from that session and they are more than release quality, if not exactly a reve;ation.

It's 3 album length sessions and a shorty - the Straight No Filter session of 6/17/66 runs 3 tunes at 21:40 - adding the never issued outtake Curtis Fuller tune from Caddy For Daddy would presumably get it up to full-ish length, although I have no idea exactly how long or how good that performance is.

That's a good deal on some wonderful music.

Given that Kenny played with Cedar for Prestige in '67 and that many former Blue Note artists recorded for Prestige, I'm kind of surprised he didn't do anything as a leader for them after he left Prestige...

Could be great, could be meh. That's the way music/life/jazz works. but this certainly has potential.

Go Riders!

I wonder how many of these Stevie's heard, the Prine especially.

This thread reminded me I need to find my copy of this, Mighty Joe Young, Blues With a Touch of Soul. Another fine album from Delmark.

Category:Duke Ellington tribute albums - Wikipedia take your pick, from this list and more, I'm sure there's something to fit everyone's idea of the worst Ellington salute. So why dump on this guy?

Didn't he do 4 with Hank Jones for BN? 2 studio quartet dates, one of duos, and a live one at Newport? All quite nice as I recall and I was at the Newport date. But I sometimes wonder why I have quite so much Jo Lo, but not as much as I wonder how I got so much David Murray.

My choice on threads like this is always Butch Warren, ubiquitous on the (inter)national scene for a couple of years and then back home to deal with stuff. And Tommy Cogbill, session player in Memphis and Muscle Shoals.

I started when I was about 11 (long ago and far away) and it's been pretty steady ever since, even when I was broke. Of course, when I worked in stores and got that employee discount it was more. Thousands of LPs and CDs.

Interesting, I just barely skimmed my way through, but #2 grabbed me the most, to say the least. No idea who any of it might be.

Does anyone else hear the Oliver band with Armstrong as funk? Sounds to me more like the JBs, etc. than like any modern jazz band. Not that that's a bad thing... just wondering.

Ayler, Revelations

the Land of Living Skies! Enrico Rava and a bunch of Italians I never heard of play stuff written or co-written by MJ, plus Smile by Chaplin which was his favorite tune, I thought it was brilliant

That seems easily fixable, and the costs should be recoverable from the insurance on the truck what done it.

they let ties just stand in the CFL? I'd totally forgotten that.

I've always enjoyed this solo piano outing of his.

Those CDs are favorites of mine too, along with the Raymond Scott collection that came out around the same time. One of the few paces our tastes overlap, I think. Fun stuff and seriously great too, part of a thing then rethinking the canon and giving it new balls or something. it seemed like a thing at the time. I have them filed next to Zorn's News For Lulu and other non-bop versions of bop tunes and Bailey's Ballads. And Don Byron's Bug Music.

I love that neighborhood - we were walking around and had gone to the Albright Knox and the gallery at Buffalo State, having walked all the way up Elmwood from Allentown, when someone told us you have to see this place, just go down the way there and turn left and you'll see it. and they were right, like walking into a horror movie.

Yes, or maybe they do hear it and the're just very bad at telling you. but it certainly seems like for jazz and everything else that there are some who claim to get it who really don't.

Live at the Regal has better songs too, but they are both well worth having. As is the live half of Live & Well, and any number of other recordings of BB doing his thing for an appreciative audience. My favorite single live track might be the two-part single of Sweet 16 taken from the same date as Blues is King and added to some CD versions. My 3 recommends, that I don't think have been covered yet: Jr. Wells (& Buddy Guy), Hoodoo Man Blues Magic Sam, West Side Soul Albert King, Born Under a Bad Sign
