probably working towards the foundation of the fifth reich... or wait, we're only at number four?

Bailey solo is to me amongst the very starkest beauty ever to be found in art.

"Ballads" - if that doesn't hook you... he's got one of the most beautiful guitar sounds I've ever heard!

So ultimately this thread boils down to "marxism is irony", right?

What's funny is that the 2003 issue (the McMaster one, I stuck to the 1993 Addey version, never did compare them) says that #9 and #14 were previously unissued, when they were on the 1993 version as well: Can't help with your question, don't even know if the 1993 CD is in mono or stereo.

Thanks, must have totally missed that when it was posted!

Some of the Johnny Dyanis for sure - probably "Witchdoctor's Son" and "Song for Biko" first, but they're all fine! Also anything by Walt Dickerson - not sure which one to recommend first, maybe "Peace"? Other favorites: Contemporary Jazz Quartet - Action (2CD) The Vonskis (Never Let Me Go, Lester Leaps In, Dedicated to You) Pierre Dorge's New Jungle Orchestra (I've got the self-titled one, "Brikama" and "Johnny Lives", like them all) Sadik Hakim - Witches, Goblins, etc. Lee Konitz - Jazz à Juan (w/Martial Solal) Jackie McLean - Live at Montmartre Horace Parlan's one with Frank Strozier and Frank Foster and the two by Strozier You might also consider some Buck Hill, Clifford Jordan ("Half Note" maybe? bootleg quality but darn fine music!) Then anything by Ken McIntyre... "Home" with Jaki Byard, "Hindsight" and "Open Horizon" with Kenny Drew, "Chasing the Sun" in a trio setting or "Introducing the Vibrations" with a larger band (incl. Terumasa Hino) And then I've got two fine ones by Ernie Wilkins, "Montreux" and "On the Roll". But hey, this is just the tip of the iceberg... don't really know the Gordon catalogue yet, and don't feel up to recommending any Tete, but there's plenty of Steeplechase Tete recommendations in the Tete thread.

Good point - I didn't post here because of the singular .... I never could limit myself to only one favourite. You did post (#41) And I bet the original poster has more fun reading lists than not getting any replies because all of us (with the exception of Free for All, though I don't believe him if he doesn't add Blakey and Rosolino ;-)) have the same problem...

Hill? Is he mentioned somewhere on the website there? The Wes looks great, will try and get it!

Many thanks for double-checking, brownie!

very good one! got this early 70s pressing, could have gotten the first pressing but it was too darn expensive...

Thanks again, brownie - slowly getting there! Can you check with Lord if he's got any catalogue numbers higher than 8132? I already got all the info out of Bruyninckx.

Thanks for bringing that post back up, Chris! It's of course this "theft" I was alluding to.

I'd put it under Leroy and Shelly - they're on the most tracks Also that Q didn't arrange it isn't that special for a Q album, is it?

Thanks to Headman for filling in the four gaps I had... but that arises the question about 'Earl Hines Plays Duke Ellington Volume Three' - a quick search turns up this, suggesting that MJR 8126 was a 2LP set containing Volumes Two and Three? Can anyone confirm or shed more light?

wonderful!

Thanks brownie! That Dixon and the Young/Turney look good! As does the Budd Johnson, of course!

Also, I'm kind of in the same boat as Brad was when he started this thread... does anyone have a listing of Master Jazz Recordings' releases? I've got the Mosaic, the Earl Hines solos (three discs "Plays Ellington" and one "Plays Porter" on Music & Arts), the Dash (found it yesterday), and thanks to the Budd Johnson (or was it the Little Jazz?) thread also Roy Eldridge's "The Nifty Cat", another recent acquisition. I see there's another one with Dash, Jay McShann's "Going to Kansas City". Then I see Jimmy Rushing's "Gee Baby Ain't I Good to You" w/Dash, Buddy Tate's "Texas Twister", and finally Earl Hines & Jimmy Rushing's "Blues and Things". What else did they release?

Spinning "A Portrait of Julian Dash" right now - and it's indeed wonderful! His sound is huge and warm and flat-out gorgeous. Shirley adds a whole other dimension - a musician I've yet to reckon with. I've heard him here and there, but never really listened too attentively. Here are a couple of nice finds: Head receptionist at Merrill Lynch?! Source: http://www.charlestonjazz.net/collections-about/ I can only seem to find this version of the cover: Mine has a different photo that is much larger, and colour is more like a brownish violet. Not sure which is the original, but mine looks much nicer. The photo on my LP is actually from the same shoot I guess as the one in the obit - same glasses, same tie... but he holds the tenor horizontally over his knee.

Wow! Marvellous! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bvly0fel4cY Same JATP concert with Benny Carter added, I assume? Btw, if this is from the same night as "Jazz at the Philharmonic in London, 1969", it's seems to be doubtful that the date is correct. It is questioned in Teddy Doerings biography of Hawkins (german language), the LP is listed following "Supreme" (Enja, rec. Left Bank Jazz Socity 65-09-25) and preceeding "Sirius" (Pablo, rec. 66-12-20). Makes more sense, but then I really don't know...

'nother good'un!

One of today's rather many good finds! The groove is there right from the first beat - wonderful! Re: "Ekaya" - it's a wonderful album... guess the albums with that band may well be the best ones for those not too thrilled by Ibrahim himself.
