monkboughtlunch Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 Kynard is one of my favorite Hammond organists. I have not heard his 1963 Pacific Jazz Lp debut. Has anyone heard it? How is it? Has it ever been reissued--or has anyone asked Michael Cuscuna about it? I assume EMI owns this material now? They frequently reissue Jazz Crusaders material from the Pacific Jazz vaults -- why not Kynard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 Not to my knowledge. However, it was the subject of an AOTW a couple of years ago and thank god I have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkboughtlunch Posted July 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 is this Lp hard to find on ebay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 I saw it recently. You might try searching completed items, you might find out what it sold for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 "Where it's at" is a great album. "Warm winds", his other album for Bock - WP1823 with Buddy Collette - is a nice affair; latin tinged stuff. Charles is one of my favourites.

monkboughtlunch Posted August 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 An album by Cal Green called Trippin has been reissued in Japan. Kynard is on organ for this one. Has anyone heard this date? How is it? It's on an obscure label called Mutt & Jeff. How's the production and recording? Worth picking up?

Dan Gould Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Interesting. After I instigated the Where its At AOTW, I was contacted by Charles' brother, Gary because that was one of the many albums that Charles did that the family did not have copies of. I've since provided copies of every Kynard album I've been able to find, and now it looks like there is one more. ebay shows that original vinyl recently sold for about $80, so the Japanese CD will be a relative bargain, that's for sure.

I much prefer his PJ & PR material to his Mainstream stuff. As far as Mainstream material is concerned, I like "Your mama don't dance" quite a lot more than "Woga". I don't like Richard Fritz' arrangements much ("Afrodisiac" onwards) - a bit rigid, I feel. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
