Tangerine Records

[John L]

Here is a quick & dirty listing - missing 1514. Were there any in this series past 1516? Subsequently Charles had some deal with ABC - LPs listed as on the Tangerine label but with ABC numbers.

Scott, Jimmy - Jimmy Scott - Tangerine 1501

Prude, Terrell - Princess - Tangerine 1502

Jordan, Louis - Hallelujah - Tangerine 1503

Grey, Al - Shades Of Grey - Tangerine 1504

Mayfield, Percy - My Jug And I - Tangerine 1505

Anderson, John - Time Will Tell - Tangerine 1506

Graham, Rita - Vibrations - Tangerine 1507

Bishop, John - Bishop's Whirl - Tangerine 1508

Davis, Wild Bill - Wonderful World - Tangerine 1509

Mayfield, Percy - Bought Blues - Tangerine 1510

Raelets - Souled Out - Tangerine 1511

Charles, Ray - My Kind Of Jazz - Tangerine 1512

Bishop, John - Plays His Guitar - Tangerine 1513

Raelets - Yesterday…Today…Tomorrow - Tangerine 1515

Charles, Ray - My Kind Of Jazz 2 - Tangerine 1516

Mike

Nice.

There were also quite a few 45s on Tangerine that may not have made it onto LPs. For example, Jimmy Lewis cut a string of 45s that were released on Tangerine.

Can anyone help identify the musicians on "Ray Charles Jazz Number II" (Tangerine 1516)? There's no listing of personnel on the LP but I believe it was reissued a few years ago as part of an expanded package of "Genius + Soul=Jazz." I'm especially interested in the soloists -- one of whom is Marcus Belgrave -- so if anyone has the reissue and can check the text and listings of liner notes I would be grateful.

Thanks

Concord reissued the four Ray Charles jazz albums issued on Impulse, Tangerine and Crossover as a 2 CD set a couple of years ago and this is what the personnel for Jazz II says:

Ray Charles - Leader, piano

and the Ray Charles orchestra, including:

Johnny Coles, Blue Mitchell (tpt)

James Clay, Andrew Ennis, David Newman, Don Wilkerson (ts)

Leroy Cooper (bars)

Edgar Willis (b)

Ernest Ely (d)

Arrangements by:

Alf Clausen (#2,5)

Teddy Edwards (#4,7)

Jimmy Heath (#6)

Roger Neumann (#1,3)

I've always thought I could hear Teddy Edwards on his two tunes.

Seems to be some confusion among some sources. This site offers a "correction" according to a trombonist on the date: http://raycharlesvideomuseum.blogspot.com/2010/02/jazz-number-ii.html

I just picked up the LP yesterday and have not been able to listen yet, but I got it because I had seen a discography that said Marcus Belgrave was on it. I'm seeing Marcus later today and will ask him about it. I'll also have a chance to listen in a bit and check the aural evidence.

Thank you Mark - that's a much more persuasive personnel list than what Concord published.

If you do see Marcus, ask him if he remembers if Teddy Edwards played.

Very interesting Jazztrain. Thanks very much.

The Ohio Players? Well, interesting indeed.

Well, my ears told me Marcus is playing at least some of the trumpet solos, and he confirmed today that he's on the record, though he doesn't think he played all of the solos. I had brought it along to have him listen to identify certain things more specifically, but his turntable wasn't working so that will have to wait. In any case, it appears that the personnel listed on the website is correct, though I didn't go through it man by man with him. He did say that he does not believe that Teddy Edwards played at all on the session. The record was made in 1971 either right before or right after a tour that Marcus had rejoined for (as he did from time to time, for a short run of gigs, or a special festival reunion or maybe a TV spot or something similar.)
