jazzbo Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Big Whell, I think that At the Organ Volume Three is a different session from about a year later than the A New Star volumes. . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Late Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Listening to this one now. I have to say, McMaster's '87 remaster ain't so bad. It will be interesting to see/hear what Rudy does with it. I just hope Merritt's bass isn't cranked to 11. But, I bet Timmons piano does come through with more clarity/presence. Just a guess ...

connoisseur series500 Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 So what's the consensus? My first reaction was "Think!"?????? Later, Kevin My reaction is: "Damn! I spent too much on Japanese stuff!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garthsj Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 (edited) DEAR GOD!! THIS WILL BE MY THIRD, AND OFTEN FOURTH VERSION OF THESE!!! (Do Liberty LP editions count?) ..... and then some joker told me earlier this week that my hearing was deteriorating ... so why should I bother? But Damn! I guess I will go for it .... why stop now? My son could always use the original CDs ... sssshhhh! He doesn't know any better, having just started his collection with my castaways .... but what about my TOCJ's? ... Questions, questions!

vibes Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 If Judgment! uses the same remaster as the JRVG, I think everyone's in for a treat. To my ears, this is one of the best-sounding JRVGs. Has anyone compared the JRVG to the Mosaic mastering? I had the TOCJ and ditched it after I compared it to the Mosaic, but might be willing to purchase this fine session again if the mastering is that great.

Never heard the Mosaic but the JRVG is very fine. It is playing now in the Nessa basement. Edit to return and say how FINE Elvin sounds on this.

Ron S Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 I just got off the horn with Michael Cuscuna to ask about this. Kevin, just curious, because I've noticed other posts where you refer to communications with Michael Cuscuna: how do you know him? Others on this Board may already know, but I'm relatively knew around here. I don't mean to pry but, as I said, I'm curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottb Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 wow. sorry scottb. that is bad timing with "think". Don't sweat it, I sold it already on half.com. Came in today, out tomorrow! How's that for turnaround? I'll just keep a little CDR until summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soul Stream Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 (edited) To my knowledge...there is no "Jimmy Smith at the organ vol. 3", just 1 & 2...am I wrong? Edited February 3, 2005 by Soul Stream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I had suggested at the organ Vol 1 and 2 when Kevin was taking titles to give to Michael Cuscuna...so of course I'm now taking 100% credit B-) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the TOCJ and ditched it after I compared it to the Mosaic, but might be willing to purchase this fine session again if the mastering is that great. I'll probably buy the new one, and pass my old Judgement conn on to a friend. I don't re-purchase discs very often, but there's always room for an exception when it comes to certain titles that are close to my heart. Might repurchase Oblique too, just cuz it's my favorite Hutch-lead session. EDIT: By the way, I want to give a hearty thumbs up ( ) for Grant Green's Sunday Morning ( ). I only recently heard this date for the very first time, probably only about a year or maybe two ago. The conn was nowhere on my radar when it first came out, and since hearing it, it's become one of my all-time favorite Grant Green sessions.

chris olivarez Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 Some interesting titles here. I know I'll be copping some of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Shearn Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 "At the Organ Vol. 3" is I believe from June, 18 1956, so its in the time frame of his first BN LP's. I have the Doubletime reissue, I'm not upgrading. I was hoping for "At Club Baby Grand" myself. The others except for the Cherry look good to me tho.

Kevin Bresnahan Posted February 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 To my knowledge...there is no "Jimmy Smith at the organ vol. 3", just 1 & 2...am I wrong? You be correct. I think (hope) KB added 1 and 2 to come up with 3. Nice double. I cut & pasted those titles straight from Michael's E-mail. I thought it was weird myself but I just guessed it was some special extra from Japan. Michael did say these "were all done for Japan" so was there a Vol. 3 put out in the JRVG series? I'll try to give Michael a call tomorrow to verify. Later, Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Nessa Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 the confusion is the result of the original designations of these lps: 1512 A New Sound - A New Star 1514 The Champ 1525 At the Organ Vol 3 A curious choice since all + was/were issued in a 1997 double.

wolff Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 (edited) Nice list!! Do not see myself upgrading many of these. I'm very happy with: Donald Byrd – Fuego..Japanese vinyl Don Cherry – Symphony For Improvisers..Mosaic vinyl Herbie Hancock - Inventions And Dimensions..original vinyl Blue Mitchell – Boss Horn...original vinyl Andrew Hill – Judgment..original vinyl Freddie Redd – Music From The Connection..reissue vinyl is ok and not a favorite album of mine. Probably get the following at some point: Grant Green - Sunday Morning McCoy Tyner – Time For Tyner Art Blakey - The Big Beat Edited February 3, 2005 by wolff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolff Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 hey...didn't mention lonnie's "think" I have zero Lonnie Smith and I have no idea if I'd like it. I have enough Jimmy Smith, so I'll pass on his title also. That leaves Tyner and Oblique which are behind the others I will get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does have Lee Morgan and Fathead Newman as the horn section, if that adds any attraction to you. It's a nice date and different from the usual organ stuff, at least imho.
