who was signing jazz at columbia in 1956, this record doesnt say john hammond was involved right, i wonder why columbia didnt work out. i mean if the columbia lp took off and blakey made all those albums for Columbia instead of Blue Note............

theres a whole bunch of photos from the rita session that were posted here once

bro i first thought it was a typo and it was gonna be norman saks. that would of been massive

theres norhodes on the album either.... why do you think when referring to amos milburn in the linernotes he spells it milburne (like its spelled on the original lp as well as the mp3-download new johnny otis artwork)....

this charles brown lp- take a look (i found one of these today)-- you have Charles Brown in his 50s, look at his hair, is that a toupee? look at his suit. IS HE PLAYING A FENDER RHODES?!? the label has 13 or so releases, its odd a few of them have been retitled "pioneers of rhythm and blues" and renmubered and released as amazon mp3-only song and/or albuim downloads....copyright 2008 Johnny Otis, with new covers with artwork painted by Johnny himself. I really would be interested to know if these were originally download only or if physical copies exist. i subtitled this thread 'nothing comes close'- what does chewy mean by that. what im talking about is that i dont know of another label that so accurately displays what the r&b greats of the early 50s were up to in the early 70s. all the reviews talk about "past their prime" "bland 70s style rhythm sect", but this opposite is true. these recordings are very interesting, charles brown re-doing merry christmas baby in the 70s, with electric bass, shuggie otis on guitar...johnny otis on drums and vibes...and charles brown sounds fantastic

todays the day! happy birthday hank

number not in service, lol

ooo, u have an EMI/Harvest Alone Together? ooo! i love this lp, so awesome to hear art in a totally 80s fusion context [ quote name='JSngry' timestamp='1341540634' post='1208701'] It's got Art Pepper on it. And Phil Ranelin. And George Cables. And Peter Erskine. And Stanley Clarke. And it's produced by John Koenig. And it's on Liberty. And it's a totally produced poppy-jazzy thingy. One tune is an obvious cop of "Feels So Good". The rest is ok enough in a "for what it is" kind of way. Freddie could do this in his sleep (and probably did on this one), but the somewhat active presence of Art Pepper throws this into a zone of parallel universe weirdness that I was not ready for, or may ever be ready for. Music can fuck with your mind in all kinds of ways, not all of them necessarily beneficial. Also, look at that cover photo. Put a white border around it, give it an appropriately evocative title, and it's an LT. Only...it's not.

i just tried to call Bob Dylan

is there debate over it?

wtf

need to get the orginal album w/ all the tunes they played bad

many thanks to my friend Nick for discovering this. I look forward to paying my respects someday

agreed

THIS IS THE ONLY PUBLIC MEMORIAL TO HANK

no....

Hank is -not- buried at Mount Lawn Cemetary, as stated in the small Philly newspaper obit. that some of you might have seen Hank is buried at Eden Cemetary, the oldest black cemetary in America Long Live Hank, RIP

i wonder where the master tapes to FLIPPED OUT (Trip) are

hey hey, check out above the word DRUM how they posted that little thingy there, look at that. wtf. im not artist but if i was cover director at columbia i would of never let that slip by. remids me of that 80s Byrds greatest hits issue and the blacked out bar over the "stereo 360*" logo

lol i doubt yr really spinnin the columbia special products edition as depicted in yr photo, im sure u got the original columbia 6-Eye!

oh one more thing, ive -never- seen a copy of that lp- 'turn it over' on verve. never ever seen a copy of that. the cover when i recently saw a pic online it looks kind of like the cover to the velvet undergound - white light/white heat. need to buy this either a verve original or perhaps a polydor cd issue?

tonight will be my 3rd time this week- jack bruce is THUNDEROUS

NO, its been 30yrs friday. oh my god. glad u posted, this hits me hard- RIP

NICE

was he living there? when was that about?
