hmmm the question is ...would the grey suits and corporate boys have ruined Blue Note despite what they saw after after N Jones success story. ... I will put it another way It was a long time since I bought a New artist release on Blue Note...like since Jimmy Smith and Stanley Turrentine did stuff in the late 80's....no...tell a lie I did get a Charlie Hunter record and the US3 stuff How does that figure I was given some Orphy Robinson which stays unplayed Nothing they have done recently has been of interest ( new stuff new material)

........and Dianne Reeves from the 80's, L Rawls, While I am on the subject....reminds me how despite a killer opener track ...just how bad Freddie Roach's All that's good was

No but I can think of a whole lot more horrible releases I have heard with a Blue note sticker on and so can you. She is not the most direct link I can think of to Horace Silver ok but then neither were a few other other nice LPs I got rid of ...strings and voices usually are not the largest part of my Blue Note collection.

There was another live Blackbyrds set later here Donald Byrd and the Blackbyrds Paul's Mall Boston, MA probably Summer 1976 FM broadcast > total time 36:38 1 Walkin' In Rhythm 2 Happy Music 3 Do It Fluid 4 Rock Creek Park The earlier set that dumpy mama referred to was this I think Donald Byrd Seven The Jazz Workshop Boston, MA 4 September 1973 WBCN-FM broadcast total time 72:29 1 Kwame (?) 2 Fancy Free 3 The Good Reverend 4 Flight Time Donald Byrd - trumpet Kevin Toney - piano Keith Kilgo - drums Ray Armando - conga David Williams - bass Bernard Perry - guitar Alan Barnes - saxophones, flute

Mind you this is a great idea for a thread.....its like having family over at XMas all over again and having the same old rows

See....I never got the whole we hate Norah Jones and it ain't jazz thing. I have to say I have always ....and I mean this honestly even though I registered on THAT website as Norah Jones for a laugh at the over the top remarks ..always liked her music some of it is a little jazzy some of it ain't. I always thought it was healthy for Blue Note to have her in however since then the men in grey suits have moved in to make even more bucks so perhaps it did not work according to plan I think she is a very good performer but that does not interfere with my listening to Andrew Hill or Lee Morgan. and lets face it there are some awful singers out there...be they jazz singers or not....by the way I usually turn off jazz vocals...save a little Billie Holiday or Ella. So leave her alone..... Or else

Yes, nothing that changed my life, but it is nice to finally have gotten a chance to hear the Dameron session! Hmm I picked it up...was not the best Blue Note LP I ever bought but was a really nice idea...wish there had been a few more of them. I would of course flock to get anything that did surface for that reason...its new...I ain't heard it.....its got x and y on . I remember hearing other unreleased stuff via friends...ok it was not a revelation but certainly in the case of the Kenny Dorham set mentioned it was worth a release ...sounded good...cooked etc

The Pep dates by Silver were rejected so I read ( cannot remember when) because the bassist was from out of town and getting some stick off the drunken locals and was also new so his playing was not as it was usually so the gig just did not flow to Horace's satisfaction. However I am sure that in my quest for all things Horace a quick listen would be more than acceptable ( as log as off course I forgot all about it afterwards)

i for once behaved myself

I always find it occassions like this that if I have 90% already they only release a box with 85% However I do not have much of AJ...might have a look at this

What sacrilige ....who forgot to mention the Worzels. See you can claim credit for jazz and maybe a bit of blues in teh US but you have not got claim to the masters of modernity http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wurzels

Why don't you send them to the US Security Dept and tell them that they contain evidence of new abuse by US troops interrogating prisoners and I bet the tapes will disappear magically with no carbon foot print

I would like to ask you to keep my bid for £5.25 for the entire collection including shipping and storage costs - secret. I have used the government postal system to register my bid on a cd romwhich they assure me has been safely delivered. I will of course pass on any double I receive to kinder members here.

still loving this a week on

Hey ..how about a Mosaic big huge box set one off....with all of em! Just to break the bank It WOULD be worth it

I dug Afro Harpin for a looooong while and might have to have a groove later on

I spent years huntin this one down. When I eventually got it from the US on LP I dare not play it for a while ( ok maybe five minutes ) because I could not believe I finally had it... I have been getting more into the sides with Bobby Hutcherson recently on Let Em Roll ...long lost favourite returns !

I think of the rest The one that stole my heart Keith in Koln Concert. From the opera bell To the long thumped out theme Leaves me in a peace.

Well the track I have heard via Blue note is a stonker and I for one.....who recently was thinking will there be another new Blue Note for me....am really excited I shall be getting it as soon as I can It is very good sound indeed Check out the links above A

$.53(.3333) per. A great deal just got even better! Especially when you think how low the dollar is against the £...you know he would actually have to pay us to take it off of him ....and bring it over the pond !

er yes I have not updated that since I learnt that previously..erm shuffle erm will maybe get around to it It don't half kick though do you not think? btw that was an interesting resource....the 2nd one

Well there was some talk of a rare cd to be released by John Patton but then it never came boo hoo Really guys thanks for the best wishes Sorrry I was nowhere near the pc on or near my birthday Now the candles have all burnt

I think there is also the recent tracks he recorded with George Braith prior to his death we have mentioned here before but the name escapes me. The live stuff by the way some of it is absolutely wonderful and worth a cd alone

it is mine so I give you permission! No it is not an mp3 blog Just some info Enjoy

Yup yup...got that one on cd and its great
