neveronfriday Posted July 22, 2004 Report Posted July 22, 2004 Hi everyone, I'm at my dad's on some dial-up connection (God, stoneage all around), so just a quick question. While listening to a whole bunch of jazz CDs yesterday, we stumbled across one from 1993: Art Farmer/Lee Konitz with the Joe Carter Quartet & Trio. 1993 Stash Records, USA (licensed by Stash from Empathy Records). I found these sessions (August 1983 and October 1984) very (!) enjoyable, but I have no idea about the second label mentioned above. Empathy Records? Any info on this one? And Joe Carter? Any recommendations there? Any more anyone knows about any Art Farmer/Lee Konitz sessions I should check out? Cheers! Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted July 22, 2004 Report Posted July 22, 2004 I think Joe was Empathy. Guess I'm a stoneage member. Quote
Dan Gould Posted July 22, 2004 Report Posted July 22, 2004 Any more anyone knows about any Art Farmer/Lee Konitz sessions I should check out? Considering the appearance of this thread, its ironic that I recently received a late 60s radio broadcast of Art and Lee with Kenny Drew and I'm planning to give it a listen when I get home this afternoon.

Chuck Nessa Posted July 22, 2004 Report Posted July 22, 2004 The Stash cd is a combination of two Carter lps - one is with Konitz and the other is with Farmer. They do not play together. Quote
Jim R Posted July 22, 2004 Report Posted July 22, 2004 I think Joe was Empathy. Joe is Empathy. http://joecartermusic.com/ He's also a member of this board. Quote
Michael Fitzgerald Posted July 22, 2004 Report Posted July 22, 2004 There's an album that is listed as being on Empathy, but I'm wondering if it's a *different* label, not the Joe Carter one. I have this album as Inner City 1028 - Lew Tabackin: Dual Nature. Bruyninckx and Lord discographies show this as originally on Empathy (Jap) EMP-1001. I know that the Joe Carter & Rufus Reid: Too Marvelous For Words was Empathy E-1001. The Tabackin session is much earlier (1976) than when the website says Carter established the label (1981). Is there any relation between the labels or just a coincidence? I don't know of any other Japanese Empathy issues. Are the discographies correct with their issue information in this instance? Tabackin was recording the same day for Japanese Victor. Mike Quote
Joe Carter Posted July 23, 2004 Report Posted July 23, 2004 Did someone mention Joe Carter? Yes, as Chuck pointed out, the Stash CD was supposed to be a CD issue of two of my Lps, one with Art and one with Lee. But they messed up and left one of the tunes off and listed Art and Lee as the leaders and then did a poor job on the sound. Luckily I have the rights back and I intend to reissue that stuff correctly at some point. But I'm glad you liked it. I started Empathy in 1980 or 1981 and then found out there was that Lew Tabackin recording on the japanese Empathy. I beleive they went out of business shortly afterwards and never released anything else. Other Empathy Lps that Stash issued on disc were a solo piano date by Don Friedman, I Hear A Rhapsody, and a quartet date (with myself on guitar) by baritone sax and flute player Cecil Payne, Casbah. There are sound samples of those on the "Empathy Records" page of my site and samples from my other discs on the "Recordings" page: www.joecartermusic.com Thanks to all. Joe C. Quote

Hi Joe, you should really get those sessions out there again, remastered and all. They are absolutely wonderful and I've had the Stash CD running several times already (the sound quality is not really that bad, I think). Nice to see you here on the board! Cheers! P.S.: I'm on away from my own PC at the moment, so posting is a real hassle. Thanks everyone for your comments. I'll be back on Sunday, own PC and all. Quote
