Miles Davis - Complete 1st and 3rd Sessions on Blue Note (Blue Note CDP 7 81501-2)

Miles Davis, Vol. 2 (Blue Note BLP 1502)

[.:.impossible]

Jackie McLean - One Step Beyond (Blue Note BLP 4137, CDP 7 46821-2)

If I'm not mistaken, I remember reading that he was actually the leader on that date. Sort of a Somethin' Else kind of thing.

Thanks for the list though. The type of music he is playing on Davis Cup, or Cool Struttin' is a long way from Evolution and even the later Lee Morgan dates.

[Noj]

I've got 14 of them! Looks like I've got my playlist for the week.

Lee Morgan - Infinity (Blue Note LT 1091)

Over the past several years, I almost always cite Infinity as my all-time-favorite Lee Morgan leader date. Burns like a MF, top to bottom.

Jackie's a BIG part of the reason why.

My memory may be playing tricks on me, but I think Jackie only plays on one of these albums, the one with the session from 1952.

My favorite Jackie sideman appearance isn't on BN -- it's on Mingus's Blues and Roots.

Guy

[.:.impossible]

Good call! I'll be pulling that one out soon. Has it been remastered recently? Blues & Roots.

Rhino did remaster it on one of their "deluxe" editions. I'm not sure how much better it sounds than the original issue. The extreme shortcomings of Atlantic jazz recordings are pretty obvious on this one.

Back To the Tracks, Cool Struttin', and Davis Cup are my favorites from that list. Other favs?

Not issued originally on Blue Note, but reissued ON a Blue Note CD is an excellent Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers session - RITUAL. Similarly, Jackie is featured on Kenny Dorham's MATADOR/INTA SOMETHIN', 2 dates that were combined on a reissued CD under the Blue Note label.

This is my favorite Jackie sideman appearance.

[kinuta]

Thanks for the list. I didn't know that I have his entire BN catalogue as leader and band member.

[andybleaden]

Me too and I think it would give someone a lovely introduction to Blue Note records ...what a diverse collection.

I always think he played well with Lee Morgan and as for favourite...hard pressed I would say the most played in my house is the Grachan Moncur Evolution out of those and the opener on Open House with Jimmy Smith

Over the past several years, I almost always cite Infinity as my all-time-favorite Lee Morgan leader date. Burns like a MF, top to bottom.

I've started working on a Jackie-and-Lee Night Lights show and pulled this one out as a result... I remember that when it came out in 1998 I played it a good eight or nine times before I finally put it on the shelf. Listened to it again tonight, loved it just as much, and did a search to see if anybody else here had mentioned it as a particular favorite. It & CONSEQUENCE will anchor the program (which I'd intended to do last May, but then Jackie died & I did a tribute instead).

[chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez]

oh chewy has said it for years, INFINITY is probably hands down lees best record date ever.

although charisma really probably deserves the title, as it has really the quintessential horn line of hank/jackie/lee, they playing on infinity is completely intense

[sal]

Tom Cat is my favorite from that list. What a BURNING session....I just love it.

[ghost of miles]

although charisma really probably deserves the title, as it has really the quintessential horn line of hank/jackie/lee

They're on CORNBREAD, too--going to listen to both that & CHARISMA today. It's a real pleasure to revisit some of these old Lee records; haven't listened to them in years.
