JohnT Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 One of the bands I play with patterns itself after the Red Norvo Trio - Vibes, Guitar and Bass. You can check us out at: www.myspace.com/alsecenjazztrio Of course, we also "borrowed" from Charles Mingus for the title of our demo CD!!!

mikeweil Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 These tracks are excellent but sound surprisingly muffled on the Mosaic. I have a German 1970's EMI pressing that sounds much more brilliant and dynamic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Beat Steve Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 These tracks are excellent but sound surprisingly muffled on the Mosaic.

Late Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 This one remains my favorite Norvo. The Classics label is always enjoyable (if not always sonically up to par with Hep, Frog, etc.), and this disc has Betty Boop on it — literally!

jazzbo Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 Not my favorite Norvo. My favorite Norvo cover! I really found the Bailey Mosaic to have some exceptional Red Norvo band sides! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAL Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 Can anyone recommend these later recordings by Red ("Famous Door" series)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjazzg Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 Bumping this as I recently purchased "Music To Listen To Red Norvo By" on a whim and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. Much of the discussion on this thread until now seems to have been about his earlier recordings.  I'm interested in any recommendations or thoughts about  recordings about the time of "Music To Listen..." . I'm wondering about "Ad Lib" with Buddy Colette and The RCA Victors "In Hi Fi", "Plays The Blues" or any other sideman dates of a similar feel to "Music To Listen..." I'll definitely check out the Farlow/Mingus thanks in anticipation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Beat Steve Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 I'd consider myself quite a Red Norvo fan (and have a huge part of his 40s and 50s recordings) so I may be a bit biased about recommendations but two recordings that I particularly like from this period are these: - Vibe-Rations (Liberty LJH 6012) and - The Forward Look (Reference Recordings RR-8, a privately taped session from New Year's Eve, 1957, that was first issued on LP in the early 80s) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd second that recommendation without a hesitation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duaneiac Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 Some other worthy discs: I'm not sure if the following ever made it to CD: And if you want to hear Red Norvo's group accompanying a popular singer of the day: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent musicianship, too. A well -rehearsed, tight band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm intrigued by the Sinatra date (might get that one played whilst the family are about). I'm going to be Norvo busy I can see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 I ordered a copy of the Sinatra with Norvo after reading about it earlier today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Friedman Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 More Red Norvo here along with some good playing by Tal Fallow, Barney Kessel, & Ruby Braff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
