kh1958

Trip Records was not a bootleg label (as far as I've ever heard). It was a cheapo reissue label that licensed many jazz reissues back in the 1970s. They were all over the place; poor pressings but great music.

Cannonball Adderley Quintet in Chicago-- (Mercury, black label mono) Don Patterson--Satisfaction (Prestige, blue label)

Gene Ammons -- Funky (Prestige, yellow and black NJ) Elvin Jones--Coaltion (Blue Note, blue and white Liberty) Dizzy Gillespie--World Statesman (Norgran trumpet)

Listen more carefully. The record is true stereo. When Liberty issued stereo versions of titles from the Blue Note catalog that had previously only been vaialable in mono, they erroneously labelled many of them as "rechanneled" when they were in fact true stereo. A good rule of thumb - anything above 1562 is recorded in true stereo, and plays stereo regardless of the information on the jacket. That is very useful information. Thank you.

Yes, Flowers for Albert is dedicated to Albert Ayler, but it's a happy, not a sad song.

Lonnie Smith--Spiral (Palmetto) (now up for order on their website) Africavision volume 3, The Cinema of Manu Dibango

That's the one drawback of buying Prestige LPs--watch out for the fake stereo copies.

Billy Taylor featuring Candido (Prestige, W. 50th) Groovin' with the Chet Baker Quintet (Prestige, blue label)

Buyu Ambroise--Marasa (Jazzmel) Jean Michel Pilc--True Story Yup! Skip the Kudus, go for the Milestones next. Nary a dud. (Oh, except for the one with Richie Cole.) MG Bossa International (if that is the one you are referring to) is notable as the only live CD release featuring Emily Remler. It's not a dud.

Don Patterson--Patterson's People (Prestige blue label)

He must be referring to the website category: Website of the Year AllAboutJazz.com Jazz.com JazzCorner.com JazzTimes.com Pointofdeparture.org

Excellent piece and selections. I'm looking forward to the new CD.

Shirley Scott--The Soul is Willing (Prestige, black and silver label)

Sometime after J-1239 they switched to better quality covers. The Big Challenge is the only one I've seen with a photo of the band on the cover, and a really cool photo it is. (For Dallasites, there's a copy last time I checked at the big HPB.)

Yes, it's very well done. A humbling experience for sure.

I was looking for a discography of the label but found only this thread. These are the ones in my collection. The Mary Lou Williams is my favorite of their originals, and I've never read of it being reissued.

I have this LP in my backlog of not yet heard albums. Sounds like I should take a listen.

Thelonious Monk at Town Hall (Riverside mono, blue label)

Bill Evans--Sunday at the Village Vanguard (Riverside black label stereo) The Charlie Parker Story, volume 1 (Verve trumpet)

Eddie Lockjaw Davis -- Trackin' (Prestige, blue label)

They have about half of them listed as in stock on their website.

As usual, a thread like this costs me money, as I didn't have the Dizzy in Berlin MPS, which has now been ordered.

It's simple--since he's one of the greatest, you need to get just about all his recordings until his chops declined below a certain point (sometime after Bahaiana and Afro-Cuban Moods).

You are blessed to not know!

Chuck Wayne--Morning Mist (Prestige, blue label) Lucky Thompson--Happy Days Are Here Again (Prestige, blue label)
