paul secor Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 I was just listening to 'Jazz Impressions of Folk Music' on the Carmel Jones Mosaic Select. The cover and liner notes for this album are not reproduced in the Select booklet. From my experience with Imperial r&b and blues LPs, the covers tended to be pretty dire, so perhaps that's why there is no cover reproduction. Were there any liner notes on the original LP issue?

Chuck Nessa Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 It had a decent (white) cover with a small shot of Land in the center. It had liners but I don't remember them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 The date was Harold Land's. There are uncredited liner notes which do not add much to the album's enjoyment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel A Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Liner notes: Uncredited as brownie said. Does the Mosaic Select say who produced the session? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Thanks for posting those. Brings back memories of an old friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul secor Posted March 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 Liner notes: Uncredited as brownie said. Does the Mosaic Select say who produced the session? Thanks for posting both cover and notes. I can see why Mosaic skipped reprinting the liner notes, but the cover was worth reprinting. No mention of a producer in the Select booklet. Bones Howe is credited as the engineer, but that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 Possibly Albert Marx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Nelson Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 Yes, the vinyl jacket is bereft of any credits, just the historical blurb posted above. No producer, arranger, engineer, studio, recording date -- just lotsa white space. Maybe Imperial forgot to get it to the printer or it got lost in the rushes. BTW, this LP was one of 10 minty old Imperial, Atlantic, and Prestige LPs I scored last May in Pensacola, FL at a junk-tique: Luther Perry's Variety Store (4155 Barrancas Ave.) -- and when he totaled 'em up and said,"How does 35 dollars sound," it was like stepping back in time 40 years or so. The album is surprisingly tasty and happening, despite the dubious title 'Jazz Impressions of Folk Music'. A keeper, for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son-of-a-Weizen Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 (edited) A decent photo (that you can enlarge) of the back cover of the LP and lot's of others can be found at this Carmell Jones site. Check page 2. On page 1 there are pics of both the Pacific & Fontana 'Business Meetin' covers. Can someone please explain to me what the relationship was between PJ & Fontana? Did Fontana re-issue all -- or most -- of the Pacific catalogue? Also, has anyone tracked down a decent link to a site that has pictures of all the 60's Pacific covers? I've not managed to find one.

Fontana had a distribution deal through Europe with Pacific Jazz in the early '60s. A lot of PJ albums from that specific period were released over here. With same front and back covers. Lasted a couple of years only from what I remember! I have that Fontana 'Business Meeting' vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danasgoodstuff Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 Am I the only one disappointed by this album? I like Harold Land and I like folk tunes too, including many jazz renditions, but I found this one to be, oh how shall I say, "condescending" isn't quite right but it's the best I can do... No offence to those who do dig it, different strokies for different folkies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster_Ties Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 (edited) I rather liked it a bit more than I was expecting to. Didn't outright "love" it, mind you, but I think it has to do as much with one's expectations going into it.

Bill Nelson Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 Let's hope that Kansas City cab driver can dig what's sitting in his backseat -- assuming he has a turntable at his apartment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
