Chrome Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 I got the new BMG mailing recently, and I'm looking for some input on what to buy. I'm on a very strict budget, so right now I can only pick three of the following: Jimmy Smith - Prayer Meetin' Jimmy Smith - Rockin' the Boat Stanley Turrentine - Never Let Me Go Horace Silver - Cape Verdean Blues Freddie Hubbard - Ready for Freddie Jackie McLean - Right Now! Duke Pearson - Sweet Honey Bee Sonny Rollins - Newk's Time Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Bresnahan Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 Two of these are a "no brainer" in my book: Freddie Hubbard's "Ready for Freddie" and Sonny Rollins' "Newk's Time". If Morgan's "The Sidewinder" is a style you like, you'd probably like Duke Pearson's "Sweet Honey Bee". If not, I really like Jimmy Smith - Prayer Meetin'. Quite honestly, about the only one of these that I don't listen to very often is Stanley Turrentine's "Never Let Me Go" but I think that's mostly because I'm not a big fan of Shirley Scott's organ playing. Jimmy Smith's "Rockin' the Boat" doesn't do much for me either. Later, Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catesta Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 Without a doubt, grab the Duke Pearson, Hubbard and Rollins dates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
