Toshiba TOCJ 1621 – Various – A Head Like That

Who's on this one?

Seems strange that the Japanese haven't re-reissued some of these since their first appearance around 1997. I only have two, but they're nice indeed.

Blue Trails: The Rare Tracks (TOCJ 1601) collects various alternate takes and other things left off of the TOCJ reissues of the 1500/1600 series. In the meantime most of these tracks have been released domestically on the "appropriate" albums. It's a nice disk, but it has nothing to do with John Coltrane, apart from having an alternate of Blue Train and a more generously cropped version of the pic of Trane with the lollipop (cf. Blue Train) as its cover.

Toshiba TOCJ 1610 – Jimmy Smith – Jimmy Smith Trio + LD

Crap! Anyone got a spare copy of this one sitting around?

AMG sure gives this one a lukewarm review. 2.5 stars: "Theoretically, the pairing of Jimmy Smith and Lou Donaldson is a smart idea. Both musicians were instrumental in the development of soul-jazz and were recognized as among the leaders of their genre. Instead of catching fire, however, Jimmy Smith Trio + LD, falls flat. There are a few moments that fulfill the duo's potential -- both Smith and Donaldson trade hot lines on "Star Eyes" -- but in general, the session is bland but pleasant offering nothing truly memorable."

What do the Jimmy Smith fans here have to say?

Just think, if only they'd gone and slapped 'One for Five' on 'Blue Trails' it wouldn't be necessary for folks to waste...er, spend their money on the Bossa Nova Bacchanal RVG for that one splendid track.      ^_^

Why not look for "The Lost Sessions" instead?

I've got it on both.

What can I say? I'm a sucker.

I nabbed em when they came out and they were worth it. Not the best Jimmy Smith I admit but certainly not the worst

I did like Lonesome Road

however I have got over the stamp collecting of Blue Note Jimmy Smith when I sold my Plays Fats Waller LP and never bothered with the cd from Japan

Now THAT is will power

I also tried to get the 70's ( ahead like that or what ever it was) sampler and then remembered that I had most if not all of the tracks so left it til now...now I think maybe I made the wrong choice but Mr Will power will have to succeed as I am skint.

I thought this was a real nice little series and wished they could do more

So this then is the only surviving track from the 1965 session with Tyner, Hubbard & Higgins. Have you ever heard what happened to the rest of the session tapes? A fire? ...erased? ....labeled 'Lost' because they're weak? other?
