Who IS that woman? MG Helen Gurley Brown . A woman who never needs a Halloween costume !

Can't recall having seen that railroad tracks cover

Emarcy's " In the Land of Hi-Fi " series included LPs by Sarah Vaughan , Dinah Washington , Patti Page , Errol Garner , Georgie Auld and Cannonball Adderley . The Adderley is the only one I believe that has not been on CD ; odd that the Page and Auld sides would be out , but not the Adderley . The Adderley is currently available however on vinyl : http://store.acousticsounds.com/browse_det...p;section=music

I don't think Al Haig belongs in your list . If the rubric " West Coast Jazz " is geography-based then Haig is excluded , as most of his recording was done on the east coast . If it is style-based , then what are Land , Edwards and Criss doing in a list with Montrose , Perkins and Shank ?

All the Savoy reissues of the past 15 years are Japanese in some sense , since the label is owned by Japanese Columbia , however the label is now a U.S.-based division , so recent CDs are made there . The last few years they seem to have stuck to reissuing the " name " musicians , on CDs shorn of original cover art . Thus to answer your question , a lot of those old Denon-Savoys have not been re-pressed as U.S. editions . Those Denons had good sound , but contained discographical and typographical errors .

I thought it was the result of a long-term 'personal habit'. Damn shame, such a fine player. Those ' personal habits ' as they often do , led to liver cancer IIRC .

Along with wholesale redesigns , Liberty changed the tint on some of the covers too . I remember seeing a Liberty copy of Donald Byrd's Cat Walk with purple tinting instead of the original orange-red . Hancock's Empyrean Isles was another retinted Liberty , and there were others . I myself have never seen the redesigned covers for Mobley's Soul Station or Green's Grant's First Stand mentioned above , but I have come across this redesigned Grant Green cover : <====>

A lot of people love this one but its never clicked for me. I keep it because its Tina, but ... I think I agree with this ; the soulful Brooks is the reason I listen to it . It's only under McGhee's name because Redd couldn't lead it for contractual reasons . The playing time is pretty short . You can hear a couple of tracks from it on this archived Night Lights radio show .

Dozens of thumbnails of Mainstream covers are viewable HERE . The site has lots of Groove Merchant covers as well . And , to flesh out this thread , here are our earlier discussions : Earlier Discussion # 1 Earlier Discussion # 2

Kevin, the upgrade for the J.J. is definitely worth it, because Mark Wilder remixed it from the original 3-track tapes. Compared to the spanish RCA version, some artificial reverb on the brass section is absent, and the sound is fuller and less harsh. A much bigger difference than between a CD and a SACD Musically JJ! is the best of the RCAs , though The Total J.J. Johnson is not far behind . I have the Spanish RCA CD of JJ! and like Kevin , think it sounds fine . What might get me interested in the Mosiac Single edition , are the two previously unissued Tom McIntosh charts it contains . Are these on the same level as the Johnson and McFarland numbers ?

Just to bring everybody up to speed , here's a chestnut from the old Blue Note board ....

The ballad "Sweet Song" on Stanley Cowell's Travellin' Man ( aka Blues For the Vietcong ) features Jimmy Hopps pretty much soloing throughout it . Even allowing for the fact that Hopps is way upfront in the mix , this track doesn't work for me at all . The rest of the album does work for me though .

As one who enjoys the Basie Meets Bond record ( CD Universe link ) , I am looking forward to hearing this date . I remember reading a review of it in a 1966 Downbeat ; they gave it three stars I recall . Wish they had used the original cover art for the CD though : On the subject of Jimmy Bond , does anyone know anything about the date he lead in 1959 for Sesac ?

Always like to hear about more jazz on the radio , but it's a pity about your time-slot . Jazz for me has always been a night music ; I associate mornings with commerce , not art . Even among those who do listen to jazz in the early morning , I doubt many of them do so on SUNDAY mornings . Does your alloted time reflect your lack of seniority at KSJS , or are you really a jazz earlybird ? In any event , best of luck with your show ; let us know if it gets archived for download . Hope everyone who visits the KSJS website votes in the poll asking what type of music the station needs more of .

I believe this may be a per-disc record : ~ $ 230.00 per CD , or ~ $ 38.00 per booklet page Albert Ammons and Meade Lux Lewis 2-CD set : http://cgi.ebay.com/Mosaic-Records-Comp-BN...1QQcmdZViewItem

Lest any CD-only listeners ( do they even read this forum ? ) think this is only a problem with vinyl , think again : http://www.mscience.com/faq17.html

Those strings sound synthesized ; maybe an ARP String Ensemble Synth ?? I've wondered about this too . The track " Good Time Soul " was not on the original vinyl or the current Fresh Sound CD . An outtake perhaps ? The current Fresh Sound CD does not have the original cover . However , Fresh Sound did issue the session on vinyl with the original cover ( and possibly on CD ? ) . It did not have " Good Time Soul " either . The Third World is actually a Various Artists date called " The Soul of Jazz Percussion " . Issued by Fresh Sound on CD , it is now OOP . Alan Saul's Booker Little discography has more details . It is an excellent date , though it has the typical Warwick gimmicky " Three Dimensional " stereo . Of course the TCBs are crap . Back in those days however , the Warwick LPs were rarae aves , and consequently , the TCBs were the only way to hear the music . I have five TCBs ; were there any more ?. I never saw any TCB reissues of the Warwick albums of Cootie Williams or Mary Osborne or Ralph Burns ( this last now available from Fresh Sound ) . The Curtis Fuller Boss of the Soul Stream Trombone was on TCB under Freddie Hubbard's name IIRC . It is worth having , as is the Pepper Adams-Donald Byrd Out of this World date which is Herbie Hancock's recording debut , and which as already noted , was issued under Hancock's name on TCB .

I seem to recall reading somewhere on the board that Rhyne was pretty unhappy with the Jazzland side . Notwithstanding the fact that looser blowing dates sometimes sound like rehearsals , the music Jazzland issued was , IIRC , in fact a rehearsal .

IIRC the Concert Jazz Band (early 60s) recorded that "So What" as "Apple Core" (?) http://www.mosaicrecords.com/prodinfo.asp?number=221-MD-CD http://www.mosaicrecords.com/discography.a...umber=221-MD-CD F I have the records in question , but I am away from my collection right now and can't confirm that So What is the same as Apple Core , but another version of Apple Core is on this recording :
