  1. 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.

  3. 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".
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.

Weak Brain, Narrow Mind (Willie Dixon) If you got a weak brain and a narrow mind The world gonna leave you way behind Your friends will deceive you, leave you cryin' Can't keep yours 'cause you are watchin' mine If you got a strong brain and your mind is broad You gonna have more friends than a train can hold You won't have no trouble or worries at all If you got a strong brain and your mind is broad You know the strong overpower the weak And the smart overpower the strong The clever are the only ones enjoyin' the world While the greedy save all and enjoy none If you got a strong brain and your mind is smart Nothin' in the world is gonna be too hard We gonna keep on goin' before others start If you got a strong brain and your mind is smart If you got a strong brain and your mind is smart If you got a strong brain and your mind is smart
  16. The sounds coming out of the guitar were the part I didn't like.
  17. Based upon an email I received this weekend from Reelin' in the Years Productions, it appears they are proceeding with producing a second series of Jazz Icons DVDs.
  18. Mastered off of test pressings from the LP reissue. Don't think it's from tests but commercial pressings. A friend of mine was contacted by Sue and he asked for $300 for his set and she went "beserk". If she had "tests" she would not have been looking for others. I don't know the difference. I was in the Jazz Record Center last fall and asked Fred Cohen about the sound source for the CD reissue. He said (I thought) that it was made from a test pressing for the LP reissue that he had done as a joint venture with Sue Mingus and that she borrowed his copy.

    James Clay

    I think the last I saw him was the live performance for the Return to the Wide Open Spaces recording. He's not that well recorded on the released recording, but live it was pretty exciting with a David Newman, James Clay, Leroy Hog Cooper saxophone section, as well as Cornell Dupree on Guitar and Elis Marsalis on piano.

    James Clay

    On the occasions I heard him he sounded like a very good Texas tenor. Not as distinctive as David Newman, but still a very nice player.
