chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted November 5, 2006 Report Posted November 5, 2006 the liners didnt give much info about the session itself- it just briefly said how the 1st lighthouse lp was in '52 for skylark (that i recall had that jimmy g tune big boy, which i have on 78) anyways is this cd really the 1st session? so i take it this cd is "lie at the lilighthouse""?

Big Beat Steve Posted November 5, 2006 Report Posted November 5, 2006 Are the CD liner notes any different from the LP liner notes? The "Popo" LP on Xanadu 148 is credited to "Shorty Rogers & Art Pepper". The way I understood the LP liner notes this live recording made on Dec. 27, 1951 was the first recorded example of the line-up that became known as the "Lighthouse All Stars". If it was actually billed that way on that day ... who cares? Quote
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted November 5, 2006 Author Report Posted November 5, 2006 who cares? youre in southern germany, not southern california, i dont expect u to get it. as far as im concerned i agree w/ the mode records philosophy: west coast jazz shouldn't even been distrubuted anywhere but the west coast.

Big Beat Steve Posted November 5, 2006 Report Posted November 5, 2006 No need to get excited ... So it is historical accuracy you're after? Sorry if I got you wrong on that one. But does it detract from the quality of the music if somebody exaggerates and oversimplifies things a bit on the cover? Anyway, I guess I appreciate West Coast Jazz more than quite a few Jazz-minded New Yorkers did (or do). And by the way, I do have about two thirds of the Mode LP's too (just skipped most of the vocal items). Quote
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted November 5, 2006 Author Report Posted November 5, 2006 they musnt be originals- how can u get those all the way over there! Quote
JSngry Posted November 5, 2006 Report Posted November 5, 2006 Not everybody still lives where they used to. Quote
Big Beat Steve Posted November 5, 2006 Report Posted November 5, 2006 chewy, of course mine aren't all originals. It's the music I was after in the first place. One or two originals, an older reissue on the PREMIER label, and the rest are those nicely done repro reissues either on VSOP or from Japan. In today's (eBay) world it wouldn't even be that hard to get the originals no matter where you live but that's clearly beyond my financial means. I will have to leave that to the Japanese. Quote
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted November 5, 2006 Author Report Posted November 5, 2006 thats cause mode lps were only sold at thrifty drug store chains in so cal- how cool is that Quote
