Here's a guide to early (7000 and 7100 series) Prestige pressings. Scroll down to the bottom and there are current photos of Prestige's former address in Manhattan. https://londonjazzcollector.wordpress.com/2015/07/05/prestige-records-visual-reference-guide-to-original-pressings-v-1-0/

Howard Rumsey's Lighthouse All Stars, volume 3 (Contemporary Lighthouse series), and Toshiko and Leon Sash at Newport (Verve, trumpet label).

I think that may be a reissue.

Happy Birthday!

The statement in Wikipedia that Fantasy began the 10000 series isn't correct. Dexter Gordon's the Chase, 10010 is still clearly a Prestige issue, with Prestige Cover and dark purple label. That's the highest number I have that is clearly all Prestige. Does anyone have higher number Prestige pressings? After that, the Fantasy cover and green label prevails, as far as I can tell. One exception I've found, Boogaloo Joe Jones, Right on Brother, 10025, is a Prestige pressing (with a pale blue label), in a Fantasy cover. Many of the green label pressings are still mastered by RVG. There are lots of gems in this series. No idea why Fantasy discontinued it.

I saw Jamil Sharif in two different bands at the New Orleans Jazz Fest this year and he stood out.

The Jazz Record Center has a blues section in the store (both LPs and CDs), so I'm surprised they won't buy blues.

In pursuit of a musical career as a drummer, he moved to New York in 1957 and in a few months made his recording debut with John Coltrane for the saxophonist’s first recording “Coltrane.” Tootie Heath’s career reads like a who’s who in jazz.

Johnson and countless others. In 1975 together with his brothers Jimmy and Percy, Tootie formed the Heath Brothers band. A Drum Story-- a unique journey that follows the migrations of drums and rhythms from Nigerian talking drums to the innovations of jazz greats like Elvin Jones and Tony Williams. Heath’s includes music commentary on each of the diverse drum phases, such as: Batá drums, New Orleans parade music, and early big band pioneers as well as humorous and touching personal anecdotes from his experiences contributing to some of the most integral decades of jazz.

Richard Oppenheim Jazz Saxophonist After many years in New York, saxophonist Richard Oppenheim relocated to San Antonio, Texas in 2006 with his wife and longtime musical colleague, Katchie Cartwright. Oppenheim muses on ideas of belonging and unfamiliarity, of how to call where you are home. Born in Chicago in 1953, Oppenheim has played alto saxophone since age 13. Following his studies at Indiana University, he gained experience playing with the likes of Marvin Gaye, Charles Mingus and Lonnie Brooks.
