I do not regret not buying The Four Freshmen set. And I am kinda ok not picking up the Bobby Hackett, although if a really cheap deal comes along, maybe. Same with the Teagarden Roulette. But that Four Freeman thing, that's why I will never own every Mosaic set, ever

I found it in a cutout bin ca. 1972 and wondered how much it would predict early Weather Report Well, not much as it turned out, but still there are moments that are ahead of their time, at least in jazz terms. Plus, the electronics were not commercially-made products. That's perhaps the most impressive part of it all for me. Here is the real Jog Falls. It's in India and generates hydroelectric power. Fitting!

Who is it really by?

Track 6 is now correctly ID-ed!

I love how they have a record by Brazil 67.

For us Westerners, definitely!

Don't thank me, thank my daughter. I was as WTF? as everybody else! She has actually taken time to have learned a little bit of Japanese, since s lot of her musical and other entertainment interests spring from there.

This 1970 LP gave the entire session, along with a good liner essay by Ira Gitler. There's really no good point for not having put it on a single CD.

I think so, yeah.

It's Don Gardner Trio stuff and was a staple of labels such as this back in the day, in part or in whole.

Why? According to my daughter, this is a jazz telling of the famous story "Momotaro'. It's a folk tale about a boy born from a peach that was floating down a river. She also tells me that the kanji for "Momotaro" are listed in the video title. How about that! Her very first response was "Holy shit, this is incredible!"

You are definitely in the door!

It's not from that OST. But... you are now in the right world!

Oh yeah, those Atlantics are excellent!

MID-MONTH REVIEW + HINTS TRACK ONE - Already ID-ed as Freddie Roach, with Conrad Lester on tenor. Freddie Roach has a little profile on this board Conrad Lester maybe not so much. Feel free to shine some light on Conrad Lester! TRACK TWO - Already ID-ed as The J's with Jamie, who were actually an important group in their main world. TRACK THREE - Already ID-ed as George Braith, who imo can never have too much light shone upon him. TRACK FOUR (HINT) - We have identified the horn soloists, but not the tune itself, nor the source performanceSo...une chaussure confortable pour marcher dans le salle TRACK FIVE (HINT) - The general type of music has been identified. The record itself (or more accurately, where I found it) might be able to be sleuthed if I tell you that it is very unlikely that anybody who was alive when it was recorded is alive today. It's that old. And yes, it is now on CD! TRACK SIX (HINT)- You should not feel bad if this music suggests a type of Strain. TRACK SEVEN - Already identified as the latter-day New York Art Quartet with Amiri Baraka. I guess the audience here didn't grow up on Charlie Chan movies, especially the ones with Mantan Moreland as Birmingham Brown? TRACK EIGHT - Sonny, Max, Kenny Drew. George Morrow, and Earl Coleman bring us back home, albeit with a different energy that with which we left. Earl coleman did that to almost everything he sang. Plenty of time left for new participation and further comments!

There are some Vanguard albums waiting for you. The label, not the club. And Heavy Sounds needs to be heard at least once.

Last year,I tested positive for the virus after getting both doses. All that happened to me was that I took a few more naps than usual for a few days. That was it. I am over 65, overweight, and have diabetes. I consider the extra naps a blessing. So yes to vaccination. And no to noise.

An innovator as well as one gnarlyass beard!

Selling 15 year old jazz in 1970 was no easy feat. Savoy didn't even try. Riverside - and then ABC - gave up. Prestige tried, kept going and succeeded. If you look at that whole series (linked above), it was actually very well done in terms of overall quality. The liner notes alone were worth the cost of admission. Some of those albums have been rendered obsolete. But some remain my preferred version, even today. Like. I bought that Sonny Stitt Bebop Sides set and found that the Prestige silver colored cover release was more satisfying in every regard, especially because Side 1 was the whole crux of the matter. Efficient!

Johns Hopkins, you know, the old radio doctor.

Whenever I did a recording session, I would try to get a dub of the entire session, because that's what really happened. The final product is not that. But from the typical consumer standpoint... most people go to movies, not theatre. And there's a reason why most rehearsals are not open to the public. Maybe they should be, but they aren't. Mingus was the most noble of exceptions. And he was one splicing motherfucker when it came to records. Illusion is where the money is!

Is she still alive? Or has that part of her still waiting to be reissued? Remember Rosco P. Coltrane? I don't think that he was in any way a tribute to John Coltrane.

Of course they were cheap. This was before Prestige got bought by Fantasy. A totally indie label then. Bob Weinstock was making his money from Bob Porter & Soul Jazz. There was not necessarily a big market for this stuff yet. Yet. But the times were changing and not everybody was enjoying that. So they created a rather interesting "series" (or two...) and gave it a unified look. Cheap, but unified. What stood out her was that they were actually starting to think of their material as period-historic. Prior to that, there was a lot of reissuing the same record with new covers, stuff like that. And a lot(?) of it had been allowed to go OOP. IIRC, the Prestige 24000 series was more or less the big bang of the 2-fer boom. Then Prestige bought Milestone and began doing the same thing with the Riverside catalog. And then Fantasy bought them and one thing led to another, meaning OJC, of which I was not an unqualified fan. But that's reading ahead
