Wait, you mean maybe Led Zeppelin didn't write all of their own songs?

I can't be the only one who saw this thread, and was hoping this would be something that revisited the material from Herbie Hancock's last Blue Note leader-date. (Not to thread-crap.)

Another similar Waldron enja ("Hard Talk") from around that same time is also excellent. With Manfred Schoof (cornet) and Steve Lacy from 1974, highly recommended. But back to the sextet tracks from "Moods" -- special mention goes to trombonist Hermann Breuer who (at least on this recording) has one of THE most exciting, aggressive tones I think I've ever heard on his instrument. Really something special, and a name I don't know otherwise.

Funny, there's nine (9!) different copies available on eBay currently (of that Miles "Orbits" comp). One of them has 8 or 9 different images (including one of the 'record club' info); and was also finally able to see the copyright date: 1968.

Have never seen nor even heard of that Miles "Orbits" compilation before.

Maybe my favorite non-BN Select.

Fantastic music, good price!

I think all the musical discussion was in an essay by Carlos Santana (2,200 works, by one account) -- which didn't end up in the final version of the liners.

I was initially on the fence about getting this set (at least now, cuz I figured eventually I'd probably get it. As much as I've enjoyed vols 1 & 2, I was thinking, do I really need 4 more disks of electric live Miles? Well, vol 3 has done nothing but exceeded my expectations (too), and I was really surprised how much I've enjoyed this new material.

Third Season and Slice are my two favorite Mobley dates - of his entire catalog.

Jazz: 1963-1973, or if two decades: 1956-1976. Classical: 1910-1920 was pretty darn amazing, but so too was the last quarter of the 19th century (a wee but more than a decade, too hard to narrow down beyond 1875-1900, or maybe 1865 or 1870 might be an even better starting point). My rock/pop/alternative interests are too all-over-the-map to tie to any one decade. 1968 to whenever Radiohead's last album would be about as narrow as I could go there.

Don't believe it, really? Cassettes?

They were from 1962 & 1963, with further BN dates in '64 & '65 (so not quite).

Definitely. One of Patton's very best, IMHO. Fantastic album!

Much of Gleam is downright fantastic, BTW -- maybe one of the best Hubbard 70's dates I've yet heard (as I'm not the biggest fan of the CTI stuff, which I find to be a little over-produced).

Aren't those all after the time-period in question? I'm essentially after all the late 60's and early, early 70's stuff Hubbard did after he left Blue Note, and (essentially) before he was on CTI (or as he was transitioning to CTI -- so everything that wasn't on CTI, from around that time). I'm not 100% sure, but the titles you link to in your post all seem to be from the mid-to-late 70's, including (primarily? - or entirely?)stuff he did after CTI (or as he was transitioning away from CTI).

Some on-line discographies (maybe organized by release date, rather than recording date?) -- have one or two NON-CTI Hubbard-led dates having been issued after his first one or two CTI leader-dates. ...which is to say that maybe I don't strictly mean "before" CTI -- but rather all the non-BN, non-CTI dates Freddie led in the late 60's and early, early 70's (meaning everything non-BN, before he went completely fusion). Some on-line Googling just not gives several discographies (including an 'official' one from Freddie's website), none of which seem complete. There are Wikipedia pages for each of these (below) -- is this perhaps "complete"?? (Links go to each album's respective Wikipedia entry/page.) Jam Gems: Live at the Left Bank, 2001, Label M Backlash, 1966, Atlantic High Blues Pressure, 1968, Atlantic A Soul Experiment, 1969, Atlantic The Black Angel, 1970, Atlantic The Hub of Hubbard, 1970, MPS Sing Me a Song of Songmy, 1971, Atlantic Then there's also the relatively recent 'live' title that Blue Note put out a few years ago -- which is also from this era (and while being on Blue Note, really has more to do with these non-BN titles than BN).

I've only just recently acquired a small handful of Freddie Hubbard CD's from the late 60s -- after from after he left BN, but before he was on CTI. From a quick glance, the AMG doesn't appear to have a complete list of titles -- and as best I can tell from the near abysmal (and impossible to read) liner-notes for the "Collectables" reissues of a couple of these, many of them (in their "album" format) seem to be drawn from multiple sessions. Does anyone know a good on-line resource that lays out Freddie's recordings from this time-period in a sessionography style presentation? -- with a key to what's on what, release-wise? Or any kind of reasonable presentation of the data (however it's organized). I have to admit that before now, I'd slept on getting Freddie's post-BN output for many years -- and (I'm just now discovering), maybe to my detriment. Any particular favorite titles that are must-have recordings from this era of Freddie's output? I'm especially drawn to the "larger" small-group titles, with tuba, euphonium, and/or French horn (a couple of the titles I have seem to have a couple tracks each with such larger groups -- but oddly, the "album-oriented releases" are from a hodge-podge of sessions, with different size groups). (Don't have the discs in front of me at the moment (but I've been meaning to start this thread for a couple of weeks). As I mentioned -- the liners are barely any help at all with a couple of them, impossible to read, and a jumble of info at best.) Many thanks in advance.

Were any of this latest batch particularly rare or hard to track down as digital (CD) releases previously? Or notably only available (on CD) as part of a Mosaic set, but spilt between two discs within the Mosaic?

I would have a tough time limiting it to 3 or 4 albums for each year of the 60's (resulting in a list of 30-40 albums total). 1963-73 is probably my favorite "jazz decade" - if I had to pick 10 specific years (and yeah, I know, even that's 11 technically).

I sure wish the Elvin date with Lee Morgan had come out as a single. It's my favorite out of the entire Elvin Mosaic.

Too soon for another bump?

Exactly my point, Jim -- this is all about hearing thr Rhodes in a new context -- and in one that isn't as crazy (in terms of timbre) as many might think. I *love* the sound of a Fender Rhodes, and anyone who does -- how could you not want to hear more of it (at least occasionally) in some unusual and unsuspecting contexts. I don't expect Bach purists to get it -- but this isn't for them.

OK, how about the idea of Baroque music with the basso-continuo played on bass clarinet? - an instrument that didn't even exist during the Baroque era? Along with this "Bach on Fender Rhodes" concept -- that's another anachronistic music idea that I've LONG thought would be fun to hear (continuo on bass clarinet). There's a summer chamber-music series my wife and I used to go to in Kansas City every year, and I must have had that bass-clarinet idea at least 10 years ago. Hell, why not both? - with a Rhodes on the harpsichord part, continuo on bass clarinet, and a more traditional lead-instrument part (perhaps violin, or oboe) up front?
