I would love to see a good reissue of the Art Hodes Blue Notes! Lon's got it. An RVG would probably be a real improvement, judging from the RVG Monk things.
Haven't heard it. but I bet it's good for laughs.
One of the Doo Wop oldies, I think it was "Tonight, Tonight" by the Mello-Kings was a riot. The bass player hit very few right notes. AND it was a I-VI-II-V prgression. I think it was eventually cleaned up or rerecorded for Oldies radio.
Intimadade by Tania Maria.
I heard one track on WBGO, Agua De Beber, which is a Jobim standard, and decided to buy the cd. Turned out to be KILLER ! Eddie Gomez makes a strong contribution to this, BTW.
Big props for Bud, he 's one of my favorites. I've got lots of his recordings under his own name and also with the Condon mob. He always sounds interesting to me. Great harmonic sense and great groove too.
Wait 'til you hear the newly discovered live recordings of Wild Bill Davison sitting in with Trane at the Five Spot. Wild Bill doing OM is not to be missed !
The closest thing to the CBS Mosaic that's on the Mob set is the George Wettling session. It might as well be regarded as a Condon session released under George's name. Actually, were I producing these sets, the Wettling session would have been in the CBS set, not the mob set.
Definitely. The Condon CBS set has some of the best recordings of "that" music ever made, stellar sidemen such as Wild Bill Davison, Billy Butterfield, Ed Hall, Pee Wee, Cutty Cutshall, etc etc. A LOT OF GREAT MUSIC!
It would be my first choice.
Nah...Jack is Jack.
I think Romano mentioned somtehing about China right before Jack started in on him. That tipped his hand. How would anybody know about that if they weren't involved?
Me too.
What's interesting is to look at the member no. and date joined. I probably joined about 10 seconds earlier than
Conn. As I remember most of us from the bn board joined the same day or maybe the day after.
