The Magnificent Goldberg Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 I really hope they didn't mean George. Oh, and Von's live session with Willis Jackson on Muse is most enjoyable. Listening to Von with Boogaloo Joe Jones & co, is very different! MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listening to Von with Boogaloo Joe Jones & co, is very different! MG Got that one as "Locking Horns" on a 32 Jazz CD reissue - indeed not bad! As for that box set - another of those stupid best ofs with some prev. unissued titles, so everyone has to buy it... I guess I'll rather get the two latest Premonition albums first. Since I last posted here I found the two Nessa/Chief albums and bought three of the Steeplechases - all mighty fine music there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 What do people think of the Brad Goode/Vonski "Inside Chicago" discs on Steeplechase? I just got Vols. 3 & 4 which are part of a small Steeplechase sale on abeillemusique.com (I also got the Gillspie 1959 "Copenhagen Concert" and Walt Dickerson's "To My Queen Revisited").

I enjoyed them, but don't think they are necessarily essential. Soem nice blowing by both. I will have to check out that sale. There are a few Dickerson recordings on SteepleChase that I would like to add to the collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster_Ties Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 (edited) You know, somebody on this very board was on a couple (released) live dates with Von... Hey Free, any thoughts on these?? Any other performance(s) with Von?? Has anybody else here played with Von?? Edited April 5, 2008 by Rooster_Ties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John L Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 "Young and Foolish" was recently reissued on CD. Anybody seeking immediate musical inspiration would be advised to pick it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he (are you, in case you're reading, Free for All!) only on these two volumes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info, but the collector in me prefers the actual factory manufactured CD with all the art work and any liner notes. Never would of guessed that you are a "collector" I suppose I could have mentioned that I do already have the music in my collection in the form of a copy of the radio broadcast that the CD was presumably taken from. The only thing a download would do for me right now would be a possible sonic upgrade as my copy probably likely came from a cassette of the broadcast that was eventually converted to CDR. I did notice today that J&R has the recording for a reasonable price, but I think that is a prior issue. I think I read somewhere (possibly the label's website) that the recent edition is upgraded sonically. If I am going to purchase it, I might as well get the best one available. Unless of course someone could tell me the original 90s release is fine enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul secor Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Just got Lester Leaps In (Steeplechase). On first listen, I'd put it close to the Nessas. I'll have to give it a couple more listens before I'm sure about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king ubu Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Guess what? I should have known about the additional tracks on the Premonition set, huh? Oh well... amongst my other recent Vonski acquisitions is a disc on the Southport label, Fire with Von Freeman - not sure it's been discussed here before, I only found out browsing for more Vonski - and of course had to order a copy- Now, there's a singer involved, by name of Joanie Pallatto (allmusic bio), needless to say I've not heard of her. Might keep some from buying this disc, but her singing on the opening song, "The Thin Line", is mighty fine! Freeman's in good shape, as always. Michael Raynor and Tatsu Aoki are on drums and bass, while Bradley Parker-Sparrow, who runs the Southport label with Pallatto. Freeman had already appeared on one of Pallatto's earlier discs, Passing Tones. He also played on what seems to be a King Fleming disc under nominal leadership of Pallatto, The King and I. Anyone knows these? Worth getting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
