Classic, and essential, at least if one has any interest at all.

Charlie Callas was a funny guy. His cousin Maria, maybe not so much. You be the judge.

Also...although not an "organ record" in the truer sense...but definitely "soul jazz".

One of the first, very first, jazz records I bought was a Gerald Wilson record, Everywhere. Out of the cutout bins, Loved it then, love it now, and have followed Gerald Wilson ever since. The more I understood big band writing, the more fun it was to listen to him. The Mosiac is a treasure, but don't overlook the later work. They're gems, all of them. RIP. Much love, and you'll be missed down here on the ground. If this was geared for airplay, it worked magnificently. A staple of drive-time jazz radio aorund here for as long as we had it. Electric harpsichord, California flutes, fully voiced brass, and Harold Land. Much, much love.

Hello Ran Blake... This can get "racial", but in my experiences and reflections on same, it's not about race strictly as skin color as much as it is race/skin color and the "Survival Impulse" that gets developed as a result. When one has survial in the fullest forefront of one's instincts, one tends to not value the pervieved "passive" qualities of life in general, because passivity can well get you killed. Literally. If there is blame to be found in learning that lesson, I can't find it. Of course, people who have the luxury/random acquisition/learned option of the ability to not worry too much about what happens when you don't do something, much less developing what you don't do into your mechanism of what you do do, they may well see it differently, as well they should. Becuase they can. Again, no blame in that that I can see. Of course, it's much more complex/diffused than all that, but I don't have the longpost in me this evening. Suffice it to say that the best way to move forward is to just do it, and that looking for answers can end up in either finding excuses or clearing a path. Or both. Or neither. Hoping, but not expecting, to live long enough to see history be repeated (or if you like, "made") as a result of forgetting it, not of remembering it. Or even better, remebering it but not getting tripped up by it. Over, not through. That's freedom...and probably delusional;. Oh well.

(I'll bet Chuck Nessa knows) (Or maybe not) Probably not the same guy...here's another item with Robbie Porter - and Jiggs Chase! http://www.discogs.com/Joe-Thomas-3-And-Bill-Elliott-Speak-Your-Piece/release/4020299

The first more than the second, relative to the much later date, but yeah, especially allowing for a less refined tone after the passage of a lot of years. Does sound like over-dubbing though, the bari sounds suddenly pulled down in order to accomodate the alto. Weird way to do an insert, especially starting on the second chorus and then dropping out like that. Something went wrong somewhere on the raw take, it sounds like.

Oscar Mayer Felix Frankfurter Lou Donaldson

Definitely sounds like the alto begins over the bari still playing. Also stops playing right after the beginning of a chorus where KD suddenly pops in. Sounds like there was a flubbed hand-off between choruses, so they filled it in with an alto overdub. And call me crazy, but the alto "voice" sorta sounds like Clifford, although it could be Cecil...can't say that I know Cecil Payne on alto. Perhaps a post-production choice by the producer?

I know we're not doing vocal albums, and that "important" is the the eye of the beholder, but...based on sales, the widely divergent places I've seen and heard the album, and that one of the co-leaders was not signed to the label at the time but would be (and make the list once so placed), and the fact that it's not strictly a vocal album, just let me make mention of the Nancy Wilson/Cannonball side. It probably manages to elude all criteria for the list, but still..."Save Your Love For Me" was on jukeboxes in certain bars up until those bars ceased to exist. Maybe that song can get an asterisked inclusion as an Important Soul Jazz Single? Or not. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQ98YTcX7OM Mention made, I'm happy.

Any chance at all that "Robbie Porter" was a young Bob Porter?

Is that the Rev. J.W. Williams Jr that did Clear Shining After Rain?

Sorry, just now realized that the thread is referencing Prestige "CDs". My bad.

Can we count this as a "Prestige"? If so... Not at all for the fidelity-finicky, but...the REAL Dizzy Gillespie big band, not the one constrained by studio limitations. Big Nick stretching out on "Ooh-Pop-A-Dah" and climbing over that insanely swinging brass riff (which any Sonny Clark fan will immediately appreciate) is worth the cost of admission alone, and that's just the first cut. You can find it on CD still, I think, but then you don't get Dan Morgenstern's exquisite liner notes. Plus, the CD version I have doesn't have the pop of this LP. Noise reduction, perhaps? The way Benny Bailey's playing lead, you don't want to lose any pop. What the hell, Prestige released it, so Prestige it is!

So long, Wash. Whatever it is, good luck, and much love. RIP 2014 baseball.
