anybody know this one? WES MONTGOMERY/ JON HENDRICKS/ MASTERSOUNDS Good Git-Together (plus Kismet -- A Jazz Interpretation By The Mastersounds) An obscure set of tracks -- but some really wonderful material from the catalog of Pacific Jazz Records! The first 10 tracks on the CD are from the album Good Git Together by Jon Hendricks -- a rare early non-LHR session by the jazz vocalist -- and the last 8 tracks feature The Mastersounds! I am wondering about the "Wes content" ... ?

I seem to recall a few fluffs, which maybe influended why it was held back? They don't bother me in the least and I love this album - one of my favorites of his.

Wow - thanks for the link Mike. I see a very interesting Sonny Rollins/Teddy Edwards live date that I have never heard about. Looks like two separate dates on each side of an lp. Doesn't Verve have access to this stuff?

Just got it ... I like it.

Got it on the studio stuff ... it is on the live/broadcast side where I am confused ... (I am presuming the Columbia box is all studio - is that not the case?)

Aside from the set on Fantasy, where else to go for live stuff? It seems pretty confusing ...

I think I have one of the original Columbia CDs ... but nothing else. I have looked at AMG and Amazon, but it is confusing as hell. Plus I suspect there are some Christian nuts here ... so recommend away B)

I don't own a thing by this guy - and Fantasy has reissued a ton of it. Any suggestions on where to start and why? Thanks

There is a thread over at All About Jazz - says Concord is now owned by an entertainment conglomerate (my word - not theirs) owned in part by Norman Lear. Depends on how the deal was financed - Lear and Co could have just given Fantasy a piece of their company as compensation or they could have borrowed to finance part of the deal.

Great CD ... available from CD Baby: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/jsquintet

the Billboard release refers to "eight previous Davis albums" (and seven CDs vs six) on Alan's site ...

Which albums are going to be on this set? Thanks

Wow - that is sad. How does a guy like that get to be 61? Too bad he had to go that way ...

I like it, but would not pay $90. It seems these sides drift in and out of print ... although the Prevue copy will probably have the best sound ...

20+ Had a buddy in college who turned me on, early 80s. Then took a jazz appreciation class, with an outstanding instructor, and was hooked!!

this might be a useful web site to research this topic ... http://www.trombone-usa.com/jazz-labels_b.htm

Take care Jeff ... and good luck!!!!!!! Eric

can you get any disability/workers comp from the state of GA? if you injured your back on the job ... my sister screwed up her back lifting a box of books at the school she taught at and went down this path ...

someone oughta snag the Bootsy ... it is a funkgasm

up ... anyone know of a Thompson discography online or for sale?

Still no Andrew!!!

Wow! Two of my all time favorites. I expect better from a fellow Jayhawk! Well ... being a Free Stater ... I can keep an open mind. I own a bunch by both guys ... where do you recommend I initiate the renaissance?

based on this thread, I picked this up ... WOW-SA I like it ...

Dupree Bolten Joe Gordon among the younger guys ... Eddie Allen (brother of Carl - has a nice string of records on Enja and Venus) Marcus Printup (his BN records are inconsistent, but the best parts are great) Duane Eubanks (brother of Kevin and Robin - love his albums on TCB) Philip Harper (where has the guy been - love his work with the Harper Brothers)

Clearly that is where I am coming from with KD, Booker Little and Terrell Stafford. I have a musician/guitarist friend here in KC who loves KD. I have a bunch of his stuff and like his records, but he does not really move me. For me, I think, I don't hear as much of a brassy "bite" or fullness of sound. For both Booker and KD, I hear most of a "pinched" sound that just isn't as much to my liking.
