jmjk Posted September 10, 2003 Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 Man, now I need a third job! September and October will leave me penniless, between the RVGs, Conns, Verve Releases, and now this!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted September 10, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 Yeah, I know what you mean. . . and Malcolm Addey is doing remasters on the Mulligan set so I know how good it will sound. . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.A.W. Posted September 10, 2003 Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 There's already a thread about these, including a link to Mosaic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted September 10, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 Cool. I like this one! I wasn't sure what to think about the Patton at first. . . but looking at the albums covered, you know it looks like it works! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted September 10, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 I think I like these covers better than the others too. . .maybe they're getting better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDK Posted September 10, 2003 Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 It's gonna be hard to not pick up the PC set even though I have most of the material already. The Patton is a must-have, though there doesn't appear to be any "theme" to this set... I'm already falling behind. I still need the Randy Weston box. Guess what I'll be getting for Christmas this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son-of-a-Weizen Posted September 10, 2003 Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 I wonder if Cuscuna will reveal to the world the history behind that little carved angel at the top of PC's bass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmjk Posted September 10, 2003 Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 Patton is not my favorite organist, but I'm going for his Select anyway. Gotta broaden my outlook, ya know? The organ universe is not just Jack McDuff and Freddie Roach (sadly ). I read Cuscuna's blurb about how the Chambers-Blakey duets came out of the Sonny Clark session, and that did it for me! Even though I have nearly all of the Chambers material in other formats, now I'm going to have to get the Select. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertrand Posted September 10, 2003 Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 The Chambers-Blakey duets also appear on Drums Around The Corner. Bertrand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John L Posted September 10, 2003 Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 that Mulligan set is very tempting. Too bad they couldn't have made that one a budget-priced package as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if you think Freddie and Jack are IT!(and I don't disagree)...I think you'll love the Patton. The Way I Feel, Oh Baby!, That Certain Feeling are essential organ lps imho you won't be disappointed!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very excited and curious to take in the Patton vibe! I know his work as a sideman, and I even have a few of his own dates, but I'm not well versed in the Patton ways yet. It will be a nice adventure, I suspect. And Bertrand, thanks for the post about the Blakey-Chambers duets. May just save me some money if I can find Drums Around the Corner (is it still in print? I haven't seen it for a while). Edited September 10, 2003 by jmjk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen it for a while). Just a side-note....two albums that are included in the set..."Along Came John" and "Oh Baby!" were Patton's two personal favorites. I'm sure most are familiar with ACJ. I think it was a sentimental favorite for Patton. However, the session with Blue Mitchel, Harold Vick, Grant Green and Ben Dixon that makes up "Oh Baby!" is simply AMAZING. The compositions are some of Patton's best (and that's saying a lot.) Also, the horn ensembles are just so great...it's as close to a Horace Silver record as Patton ever got. GREAT album. It's WONDERFUL. There. Did I hype it enough.

Soul Stream Posted September 10, 2003 Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 McMaster stuff isn't BAAADDD...it's just like a mayo/turkey sandwich-bland. I'd love to get rid of him in favor of Malcolm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbo Posted September 10, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 Jazzdoq, maybe we make too much of it. Maybe it's the curse of a good stereo. . . Addeys and RVGs sound so much better to me that I can't help wanting these comared to the not as good McMasters when I pays my money!

Jazzdog Posted September 11, 2003 Report Share Posted September 11, 2003 Yeah jazzbo, maybe I am one of the few and proud, but I care as much about who remastered the tapes as much as I care about who wrote the liner notes. I just like music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just like music. Jazzdog, you're dead on! I like music too. It's just that I prefer it without muddy bass and distorting horn ensembles that one can find on certain McMasterings. The equipment on which these are played may have something to do with my muddy sound, though. Which reminds me...I need to check on who did the transfers for some Kenton cds I've been suspicious about. Nearly everything distorts on those!! Maybe it was Stan's plan all along (bless him). Soul Stream- Stop with all this Patton talk. Your relentless hype stands to keep me up nights in anticipation.
