It never was reissued on CD. Quincy Jones arrangements, great sound, though a tad on the commercial side, musically, like Quincy's LPs of the time.

Now playing:

[porcy62]

Some trios from this.

[kh1958]

Big Miller, Revelations and the Blues (Columbia) 

Herbie Mann, Impressions of the Middle East (Atlantic)

Boyd Raeburn, Innvations volume 1 (Savoy ten inch)

See, that's how it goes, Watkins played in Quincy's bands, Quincy got his a record date where the product would be conceivably market-friendly(ish), and everybody got paid, no doubt, as well as some profile. Basic business, survival in the system at hand.

No, it does not serve art in the least. But it's not supposed to.

Somewhat incredibly it [French Horns for My Lady] is on iTunes and Spotify.  Now whether the right people are being credited/reimbursed, that I do not know... 

But it is definitely worth a stream tonight...

I have that and his other Columbia album on CD - nice stuff, great accompanists.

Still have that LP. My first encounter with Turkish music, and with Roy Ayers, who had one of the greatest vibes sounds and grooviest playing conceptions ever.

[JSngry]

Just a club date by a working band, probably a lot of it set routines, but dammit, there was nothing routine about Earl Hines, even the routines.

[JSngry]

I really like the performance of the Novák, with the taffy-pull internal tempos.

Again, Supraphon continues to be a label to buy on sight, period.

[kh1958]

Mose Allison, The Transfiguration of Hiram Brown (Columbia)

Howard Rumsey's Lighthouse All Stars with Lee Morgan, Benny Golson and Wynton Kelly, Double or Nothin' (Liberty)

It looks like the mono LP has 2 more tracks than the stereo version, "Celedia" & "Wildwood". For a Fresh Sounds CD, they managed to dig up another track, "Bye Bye Blues", that must've been on some compilation over the years.

[kh1958]

My mono LP has eight tracks. Oddly, Howard Rumsey does not play on the record--notes say so he could man the control room.

My  Liberty LPR 3045 [FSR reissue 1984] has also 8 tracks. Red Mitchell is the bass player. Rumsey wrote the liner notes.

Cover says" Lighthouse Series Vol one.

Vol two is  Liberty LRP 3051 " Tenors Head-On  with Bill Perkins & Richie Kamuca

Vol three is Liberty LRP 3064 " Drummin' The Blues with Max Roach & Stan Levey

The label Contemporary has also issued recordings  in a series "Lighthouse ". Have to review my stock for this one.

The LP lists Wilfred Middlebrooks as the bassist on three of the tracks, Red Mitchell on the other five.

[jlhoots]

He's on 2 tracks on the Brookmeyer Mosaic select.

I liked the record. He sort of sounds like a combination of Jimmy Witherspoon and Jimmy Rushing.

Good stuff, especially the Donald Erb piece, which on a Blindfold Test...

[clifford_thornton]

I know I used to have some of Erb's music on a CRI LP or two, not sure I still have them, but he was interesting for sure.

[JSngry]

Sometime more interesting than others, but capable of being very interesting often enough to keep me on the lookout for his stuff.

Check this one out. Not THAT far removed from, say, George Lewis. Not "the same thing", but still...ideas are in everybody's air, too, not just viruses
