The Complete Blue Note Elvin Jones Sessions. No one could replace Coltrane, but Joe Farrell is rather impressive as one listens through this set.

I enjoyed the set. Elsewhere, I've read that the set is the end of Yazoo's early blues reissue program.

Funny you should mention the muted trumpet; the liner notes for this CD mention Shaw's reluctance to buy a Harmon mute (at Mingus' request), fearing that it would make him sound like Miles Davis. But Shaw plays quite nicely on this record, as well as on Tijuana Moods. Mingus' liner notes for both records speak highly of his playing; he also said that if Tijuana Moods would have been released in 1957 (instead of 1962), that it would have made a "star" out of Shaw. Mingus also said this about Shaw in the liner notes for East Coasting: "He has more than just originality; he has that good originality in that he's not original just to be original." He certainly has a very personal voice throughout this recording. Does anyone know why he didn't leave a bigger mark than he did? Early death, perhaps? Also of note is the fact that Danny Richmond had only one year prior to recording East Coasting abandoned his role as an R&B tenor saxophonist, in favor of his more familiar role as jazz drummer. As Gene Shaw, he made three LPs for Argo in Chicago in the early to mid-1960s. I recommend tracking them down. He's on another session included in the Mingus Debut box. Along with the three 1957 Mingus dates, that's apparently all he recorded.

This statement is not correct. The group with George Adams and Don Pullen is as good as any Mingus group. This is a question of taste. I can easily agree with you that the group with Pullen and Adams was the best group Mingus led between 1964 and his untimely death in 1979, but IMHO his recordings for Atlantic for example or Candid are much better than his recordings with Pullen & Adams. There is only one exception: Mingus recorded Let My Children Hear Music in 1971 and this album is in the same league as his early recordings. This is a good idea for the next AOTW…. I quite disagree with your diminution of his 70s work, but that's not the subject of this thread. East Coasting is a classic, I agree. Amazingly, Mingus recorded multiple classics in 1957--with the Clown, half of Tonight at Noon, Tijuana Moods, A Modern Jazz Symposium of Poetry and Music, and Revelations all done that year. (Also, the trio with Hampton Hawes, maybe not a classic but a good one).

Prepare Thyself to Deal with a Miracle--The middle section of Saxophone Concerto, One Breath Beyond--it is so amazing.

That's where I ordered them, and they are still listed on their website, for $15 each. And chewy doesn't have to use a credit card. I'm sure they will accept a clump of crumpled dollar bills.

With regard to the Golson/Hubbard, the enthusiastic dustygroove review is actually accurate. This sounds like a group that played some dates together, not a pickup band meeting for the recording session: An obscure date from trumpeter Freddie Hubbard and tenorist Benny Golson -- but some really great work from both players! The format here is relaxed and very open -- long tunes that allow both players to really stretch out on their solos with tremendous grace and imagination. And despite the low price and simple packaging of the set, the quality of both the music and recording is easily on a par with the best 80s work by Hubbard and Golson -- and is a masterful meeting of both artists! The group's a quintet, with more additional great talent -- including Mulgrew Miller on piano, Ron Carter on bass, and Marvin Smitty Smith on drums -- hitting the kit with a great sense of energy that really drives the session. Titles include a great acoustic reworking of Hubbard's classic "Povo", presented in a way that's still surprisingly funky -- plus "Double Bass", "Sad To Say", "Far Away", "Gypsy Jingle Jangle", and "Love Is A Many Splendored Thing".

Thats what Popsike does for you. My question is how accurate do you think the Popsike data actually is? I have no idea what they include/exclude from their database. I would never sell a rare record and don't pay premium prices for LPs, so it is just for fun anyway.

I've seen Andy Summers at Birdland playing Monk and Mingus tunes, playing with one of Miles Davis' bassists from the 1980s (name is escaping me). He was decent, but other than that, I hate the Police.

Then you should create your own database of sales prices of your rarest records--follow sales of specific records on ebay over a period of time and see what happens with the Mobley for example.

Answering my own question, but: Kirk Lightsey--Temptation (Timeless)--this is one the best Freddie Hubbard recordings. Benny Golson and Freddie Hubbard--the Jazz Masters--Just got this one, which is available for $8 from dustygroove--it's a nice Sonny Lester produced date from 1987, with Ron Carter, Mulgrew Miller and Marvin Smitty Smith.

You're not paying attention because Mr. Nessa distributes Uptown in the U.S. Whatever has been released on CD, you can buy it directly from him.
