  1. TRACK FOUR - Sounds like Rudy's piano sound, so...I don't know. Sounds vaguely familiar, but at this point in time, no idea. Trumpet is either Byrd or Blue, but really can't be sure right now...UNLESS this is one of those Duke Pearson big band sides, which, yes, I think it is. Might even be one of the ones they left off the CD, one of the boogaloos...lemme check the LP..."ok, "Mississippi Dip", featuring a young Randy Brecker(!). for my money, the 2nd DPBB album was much better/consistent, but that's not how they saw it when it came time to reissue. Oh well!

    TRACK FOUR - This was left off the CD version? I used to have that and I forgot there were missing tracks. Makes me that much gladder I found the LP!

    Mississippi Dip is on the Introducing Duke Pearson's Big Band CD . The three tracks that were left off the CD were from Now Hear This .

    I might have gotten this one if it wasn't for the fact that it's one of the tracks I skip when I play the CD :)

  2. 5 At a guess, I’d say this is the Afro-Blues Quintet +1. But did they ever use a marimba? Don’t know; I only have one compilation of their work. But this sounds a bit like them.

    Just gonna try that again, in case it’s Johnny Lytle. Yes, its Johnny Lytle. One I haven’t got, so it’s got to be from:

    “Johnny Lytle does it again” (PJ);

    “The sound of velvet soul” (SS); or

    “Be proud” (SS).

    And I’m going to guess it’s from the Pacific Jazz LP. Very nice.

    Like you , I suspected it was Lytle as well , and wondered if I had it . Turns out I do . This track is Baden Powell's Samba da Bênção (a.k.a.Samba Saravah) from Lytle's first Solid-State LP , A Man And A Woman , which features music from the Claude Lelouch film of that name . The organist on this date , Jimmy Foster , is also on Lytle's two Pacific Jazz sides .

    And to Al , and others who dig Lytle's playing , I heartily recommend The Soulful Rebel and People & Love (both on Milestone). The former is all kinds of groovy , while the latter dishes up the soulful tag team of Marvin Cabell and.............Betty Glamann !

  3. Just had a quick listen and was able to i.d. a couple of things -

    Disc 1 Track 3 : Be's That Way From Dizzy Gillespie & Gil Fuller with the Monterey Festival Jazz Orchestra .

    Disc 1 track 10 : Cielito Lindo from Ed Thigpen's Out Of The Storm album .

    Disc 1 track 12 :Poinciana played by The Ventures from their Latin Album .

    Disc 2 track 18 : Curiosity From Herbie Hancock's Blow-Up Original Soundtrack .

    Disc 2 track 22 : All Is Well from Gabor Szabo's Rambler CTI album .

    And a couple of very preliminary guesses -

    Disc 1 Track 5 : Johnny Lytle ?

    Disc 1 Track 6 : Jack McDuff ?

    Disc 1 Track 7 : Stanley Turrentine with Shirley Scott ?

    Disc 2 track 17 : Kenny Burrell ?

    I'm interested to find out what Disc 1 Track 9 is .

  4. I have had very good luck with Taiyo Yuden cdr's. If they were still available I would go for Kodak Gold. If you do a Google search for Taiyo Yuden you will find plenty of places that have them available.

    Taiyo Yuden is now JVC.

    Lest anyone take this to mean that Taiyo Yuden has sold out to JVC , the reality is that Taiyo Yuden is now selling its optical media under the JVC brand which it acquired when it bought JVC's media business . And if it matters , the discs are still made in Japan .

    I've had Taiyo Yuden CDs (albeit three years ago) and they were NOT what people had promised online. There was a pretty wild quality difference in several batches I bought and, to be quite honest, I didn't think they were much better than, say, Verbatim (a label that's sold a lot over here).

    There have been Taiyo Yuden knock-offs circulating , so you may have gotten some of those . The few times I've made coasters with Taiyo Yudens , the burn software and not the discs was to blame . As to their longevity , I haven't read any stories of the dye fading over time once the disc is burned , but checking them periodically for reading errors would be prudent . I haven't had any problems with them for 5+ years .

    I'm curious as to why you're interested in optical media , given the HDD array you already have , and given that tape provides greater archival longevity than either ?

  5. This thread has prompted me to pull the Blow-Up Original Soundtrack off the shelf where it has been gathering dust . I had forgotten that Joe Henderson is on this , and now that I listen again , I think I like the two tracks featuring him best of all . The moody muted-trumpet opening of the first one , The Naked Camera , puts me in mind of something by George Russell (Night Song perhaps). Joe takes a very characteristic solo before the too-fast fade cuts him off . The second one , the ethereal Curiosity , gives an all-too-brief glimpse of what Speak Like A Child might have sounded like had Joe been on the date . If full-length versions of these two tracks exist , I'd be very interested in hearing them .

  6. The Patty McGovern tune that appears on The Workshop Of The George Wallington Trio & Eddie Costa Trio , is the ballad , Your Laughter . Patty returned the favor by recording George's Summer Rain (heard on his first Prestige recording) for her Atlantic debut . It , and Matt Dennis' Will You Still Be Mine , were not on the original Wednesday's Child LP , but were added as bonus cuts for the CD reissue .

  7. I made a disc consisting of the first four tracks of OBLIQUE and all but the last track of HAPPENINGS for a nice disc of Hutch/Herbie! I also did something in a similar vein with DIALOGUE and COMPONENTS, for a nice disc of Hutch in a more free-bop setting.

    So our dialogue concludes with the recognition that certain components of your initial post were made in error (though not the oblique condemnation of Joe Chambers' compositional abilities), most likely because of some possibly age-related mental happenings .

  8. I don't think we have code for divshare.

    In your Admin Control Panel you could make a custom BBcode tag for it like this couldn't you ? :

    [divshare]{SIMPLETEXT}[/divshare]

    HTML replacement code for the tag would be :

    <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="335" height="28" id="divplaylist">

    <param name="movie" value="http://www.divshare.com/flash/playlist?myId={SIMPLETEXT}" />

    <embed src="http://www.divshare.com/flash/playlist?myId={SIMPLETEXT}" width="335" height="28" name="divplaylist" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">

    </embed>

    </object>

    You could even create a button in the post editor for it if you wanted , but that wouldn't be necessary for me .

  9. Yes html posting is disabled because it's too risky.

    I don't get what you're trying to do. Are you trying to embed that link above? That's not a media file, it's just a link, so it's going to be treated as a link.

    I'm trying to embed the flash player that you see when you go to that link . HTML coding can't be the only way right , since youtube videos can be embedded by wrapping media tags around a Youtube URL ?

  10. Apart from co-billing on one of Haig's Spotlite LPs , this was the only time he headlined :

    George_Joyner.jpg

    This is an Italian 7-inch recorded in Turin in 1961 with Jacques Pelzer . Don't know whether the the three tracks on here are available anywhere .
