BillF Posted October 4, 2009 Report Posted October 4, 2009 Charlie Parker on Dial, volume 4 (Spotlite) All that wonderful stuff! The October 28 1947 session. Quote
kh1958 Posted October 4, 2009 Report Posted October 4, 2009 Charlie Parker on Dial, volume 4 (Spotlite) All that wonderful stuff! The October 28 1947 session. Yes, I'm very happy to have the Spotlight box set of the Complete Dial studio recordings. Is this the best reissue on LP of this material? Or were there other earlier issues of this material with better sound? Quote

jeffcrom Posted October 6, 2009 Report Posted October 6, 2009 Lee Konitz; Satori. Milestone I love that one. It was such a revelation to me when I first heard it years ago. Quote

I first bought some Parker Dial tracks in 1959 on a French Guilde du Jazz 10" LP and, as I recall, the sound was so dire that when the Spotlites emerged, they sounded like a revelation. Quote

Thanks Bill and kh1958 - sounds like I either need to get all of the LPs or a CD set. I've got a couple of the Lps. The Individualism of Gil Evans - (Verve, stereo) Whoops, sounds incredibly crime-jazzy on 45. Ha ! For some reason my turntable 45rpm has been misbehaving of late and playing at 33rpm, which has really peeved me off with Music Matters and the Tubby EP. Back to dealer ! Quote
clifford_thornton Posted October 7, 2009 Report Posted October 7, 2009 I just left my belt on 45 because I was spinning 45s last night. No TT issues; rather brain issues. Quote

I haven't heard the current combined Savoy/Dial CD box. The Stash 4CD set sounds good. Pretty comparable to Dial/Parlophone (ie UK pressings) 78s of the same material. 78s have slightly more vibrancy but also more surface noise (but that may be my set-up) Quote

Thanks Bill and kh1958 - sounds like I either need to get all of the LPs or a CD set. I've got a couple of the Lps. I seem to remember hearing that the dreadful quality of the Parker Dials on early vinyl was due to his widow's unpreparedness to release the masters, but that Tony Williams got access for his Spotlites. (This needs confirmation, though.) Sidewinder, having visited Ray's yesterday, I wanted to follow up your report on it, but can't locate the thread. Can you direct me to it? Thanks.
