I hope that the posts on this thread will do something to help keep the Fantasy catalog in print. I'm sure that Bertrand will let us know if there's any response.

Looks like a Mosaic birthday!

Happy Birthday tomorrow, Sidewinder!

Hope that this day is a fine one for you!

Have a great one!

Some other possibilities: J.R. Monterose: Welcome Back, J.R.! (Progressive/Japan) J.R. Monterose: Live in Albany (Uptown) Creative Construction Company (Muse) Sonny Stitt: My Mother's Eyes (Pacific Jazz)

I was speaking strictly about his sides as a leader on both labels. If you throw in his sideman dates with Horace Silver, that changes things up a bit.

Please see my list here here. Hope no one minds my crossing forums. Just thought that some vinylites might be interested.

I like Blue Mitchell's Riverside sides (always wanted to use that phrase) better than his Blue Notes - heresy, perhaps, around here, but just a personal opinion. I can recommend Blue's Moods, Out of the Blue, Blue Soul, and The Cup Bearers with no hesitation. Big Six seems to be pretty highly regarded, but I've yet to be able to get into that one, even though Wilbur Ware plays on it and his presence would normally make it a must for me. I'll have to keep listening to it.

Perhaps reissuing the Complete Organissimo and the Complete Quartet Out.

I have the LP, so I guess I wasn't looking for it. Glad to know it's still out there.

I've never seen Bobby Jones' Hill Country Suite (Enja), The Arrival of Bobby Jones (Cobblestone), or Milt Hinton's Here Swings the Judge (Famous Door) on CD.

Thanks - Paul

Sent you a PM.

60 - give or take a few.

Julius Watkins Sextet - '54 & '55 sessions (Blue Note/King - Japan)

The Complete RCA Coleman Hawkins Volume 1 - 1929-1940 (RCA/France)

I hope that Concord will keep the OJC, OBC, Prestige, etc. catalogs in print and reissue more. I have purchased many titles and will continue to purchase more if they're available.

Yeah, it's not very often you get a decent jazz group out of Texas. ← Guess you've got to be there to appreciate them.

Considering: Mobley - have 2/3 to 3/4 on LP, so I'm really on the fence on this one. Max Jazztet Pepper Select When they're out - definitely the Chu Berry and the Bechet

That, I think, is a highly cogent statement not easily dismissed. There will always be those who will fliply dismiss the bands "change of direction" as being motivated strictly by money, but it's not that simple. A cynic often sees the reality of a situation without always understanding the truth behind it... "Territory musicians", eh? I like the notion. A lot. ← I guess that I'm one of those cynics. I always thought that their "territory" was the Billboard charts.

I remember seeing an Ellis group with Don Heckman on WNET - Channel 13 in the NYC area - back in the early '60s. I don't remember much about the music, except that I believe they did one composition with solos based on cards drawn from a deck.

My Riverside original copy of New Jazz Frontiers gives July 17, 1961 as the recording date in New York, as Hans has mentioned. The tune in question is listed as "Cici's Delight". The only mention of Cici in Chip Bayen's liner notes is: "(Since she is a musician in her own right, Cici should indeed be delighted.)". Oops - too late by two minutes.

The Doug Sahm is another fine one. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

I find it strange that this thread was revived.
