Chalupa Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 Okay..... I can't remember the name of the artist or the title of the album that I am looking for. Here goes.... A few months ago I was in a used record shop and came across an album that looked vaguely interesting. The cover was a close up of a trumpet player(white male late 20's early 30's w/ a crew cut) w/ purple lettering across the top. I think the artist's first name began w/ the letter "D". I had the guy behind the counter play some selections off of it. Sounded like a hard bop session from the early 60's. I'm pretty sure the album was either on Riverside or Prestige. I wound up passing on it that day but decided to get it the next day. Of course it was gone when I went back to the store Any ideas???? TIA. Quote
Chalupa Posted December 8, 2004 Author Report Posted December 8, 2004 It's not Don Ellis New Ideas. Quote
Chalupa Posted December 8, 2004 Author Report Posted December 8, 2004 Nope. That reminds me - I have to buy that one too The guy is actually playing the Trumpet on the cover. It's a black & white photo. Quote
Chalupa Posted December 8, 2004 Author Report Posted December 8, 2004 It's not Don Ellis New Ideas. Whoops. It was the Don Ellis "New Ideas". From what I can tell the version I was looking at was a re-release(Prestige Records PRST 7607) from the late 60's w/ a different cover. Quote
sidewinder Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 Presumably that was one of the late-60s 'Status' reissues? Quote

Chalupa Posted December 8, 2004 Author Report Posted December 8, 2004 Yeah that's the original. The re-issue has a photo of him w/ short hair and a beard that is trimmed so that it goes around his jaw line(no mustache)...... I haven't found an image of it but I found the following photo which looks like it was taken from the same roll of film used for the cover.... Quote

You should have seen him on a full moon You should post that picture in the monkey thread from the other day. Actually... I just listened to this album the other day. I really liked it.
