kh1958

Not to mention Chico Hamilton and Bobby Previte.

Milt Jackson--Ballads and Blues (Atlantic black label, mono) Gary Burton Quintet in Concert (RCA)

From Amazon: These Are My Roots: Clifford Jordan Plays Leadbelly by Leadbelly (Tribute) and Clifford Jordan (Audio CD - 1999) 11 Used & new from $7.75 I have the CD also.

Duke Ellington: The Complete 1936-1940 Variety, Vocalian and Okeh Small Group Sessions. What a great set, to state the obvious!

Another good vinyl find day for me: Stan Getz at Storyville (Roost) Clifford Jordan--These Are My Roots (Atlantic mono, purple and orange label) Dave Brubeck--Countdown, Time in Outer Space (Columbia six eyes) Miles Davis--Quiet Nights (Columbia two eyes) Jonah Jones--Trumpet on Tour (Baronet). This one was still sealed. Perhaps Baronet was a budget label? I couldn't resist with Jones joined by Sam Price, Vic Dickenson, Pete Brown, Milt Hinton and Cozy Cole.

Shelly Manne- 2 3 4 (impulse)

Dizzy Gillespie--A Musical Safari (1961 Monterey Jazz Festival)--Boomon Records.

A couple of reasonably priced copies of this hard to find title are currently available from amazon sellers. http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00...5797&sr=1-1

Dave Brubeck--Angel Eyes (Columbia two eyes) Lonnie Johnson with Victoria Spivey--Idle Hours (Prestige, blue label)

Dammit, I just bought the Peterson and the Hawkins this weekend (for 11.99 each)! I thought I bought the Gillespie, but apparently I put it back (y'gotta understand, I was at Waterloo going apeshit and spent over $100). So, at least I can order the Gillespie at the reduced rate. But still...... (whine whine whine whine whine) You should have skipped the Hawkins, it sounds like an off day for him, and Pete Brown (who I like on a Classics compilation) is having a really bad day on this date.

Milt Jackson Quintet (with Teddy Edwards and Ray Brown)--That's the Way It Ought to Be (Impulse)

That 's easy. There were also two fine studio albums by Don Pullen and the Afro-Brazilian Connection on Blue Note--Kele Mou Bana, and Ode to Life. In another example of cultural fusion, there is also Pullen's final recording, also on Blue Note, Sacred Common Ground, which fuses jazz with American Indian music. But don't stop there, you also need the Mosiac Don Pullen select, which features Pullen's two trio recordings on Blue Note and his two Blue Note recordings with the quartet of George Adams, Dannie Richmond, and Cameron Brown.

I think you should watch that in the privacy of your home.

Charlie Ventura and Bill Harris--Live at the Three Deuces (1947) (High Note). I wish Jerry Newman had recorded Charlie Parker--this recording is far superior to the Dean Benedetti recordings, soundwise.

I like that one!

The recently reissued Coleman Hawkins, Roy Eldridge, Pete Brown, Jo Jones All Stars at Newport.

Terry Gibbs (Emarcy)

Charlie Ventura--Adventure With Charlie (King)

A pretty good day in the vinyl find department: Terry Gibbs (Emarcy) Herbie Mann--Sam Most Quintet (Bethleham) Milt Jackson--Ballads and Blues (Atlantic black label) Ahmad Jamal Trio (Epic) Charlie Ventura--Adventure with Charlie (King) Dave Brubeck--Time Further Out (Columbia six eyes). All originals, I believe. Less than $45 for the lot.

The Mingus Tyrone Guthrie concert was reissued by Fantasy on LP. I have a copy of the reissue.

More Sue Mingus quotes about unissued material (from allaboutjazz interview) “I have a number of tapes in boxes and they are stored over at Sony Studios over here on the west side [New York City],” says Mingus. “These were old—however many inches they are—tapes from the ‘60s and ‘70s. Out of fear for their disintegrating I had them transferred to DAT to CD, whatever. In the course of that we found a number of things. I used some of it on our [Mingus Big Band] Blues and Politics CD (Dreyfus Records, 1989). I used some of it to open one of our CDs where Charles is speaking about Selma [Alabama].” The Cornell tapes surfaced in the course of transferring the tapes to digital.... “These other tapes have never seen the light of day, so there’s an excitement about that because it’s new material. It’s not that I couldn’t have done it earlier; it’s just that there are only so many hours in a day and we have a lot of projects. I have been focusing more on the live bands that are carrying on the legacy. With time, we will go back and release some of these great legendary recordings by the master himself.” The recordings she refers to are all live sets. “There’s a marvelous recording at Ronnie Scott’s in London that was recorded with mobile trucks by Sony, actually by Columbia Records, in the early ‘70s before they dumped most of their jazz artists, including Mingus. As a kind of booby prize, I guess, they gave us back these very professional tapes. So they’re in the can. And there’s a concert from somewhere in Germany. There are a number of things. Charles and I had a record company called Charles Mingus Enterprises and we put out Part 2 of a number of concerts, one at the Tyrone Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis, the other at Town Hall. That may be the next, a combination of the Town Hall concert and then these others tapes, the Part 2s that have not been released,” she says, adding, “I don’t know. There’s a treasure trove of material and we will eventually get it out.”
