That's cool that they adding these "Originals" to this low-prize series!

Earlier ones with complete albums were Clark Terry (Clark After Dark) and that other Ingfried Hoffmann album, "Hammond Bond" (which contains a full album plus some bonus tracks - on those you get Thomas but he's weaker there than the other guitar player on the main album!)

That Dexter/Hampton is one I've wanted to hear for years, will definitely look for it!

The Griffin as well, most welcome!

Also the Hoffmann of course, and maybe the Hubbard... but these keep popping up in sales here (I just got the Ellis last week, for about 6 euros - not played yet -, I doubt they'll re-stock there with the new titles though, usually the cost about 8 euros here).

(two more complete albums in the old series were the edelhagen big band plays jimmy webb and the dizzy)

[king ubu]

Yup, forgot the Dizzy - great one!

The Edelhagen I didn't know - anyone has an opinion? What's the exact title, and who are the soloists? (Edelhagen led a mighty fine band, so I wonder - could well be worth looking for!)

I don't know this recording, but it looks like the same band as on the Pablo, Live at the Northsea Jazz Festival, which is quite good.

'70/6/22-24 Hamburg

UP, UP AND AWAY ; BY THE TIME I GET TO PHOENIX ; DIDN'T WE ; GALVESTON ; WHERE'S THE PLAYGROUND, SUSIE ; EVIE ; SUNSHOWER ; MacARTHUR PARK ; HONEY COME BACK ; IF YOU MUST LEAVE MY LIFE ; WICHITA LINEMAN

soloists: Shake Keane, Jiggs Wigham, Rick Kiefer, Jimmy Deuchar, Karl Drevo, Heinz Kretzschmar & Bora Rokovic

dustygroove:

A very groovy take on the work of Jimmy Webb -- a sweet instrumental set from German maestro Kurt Edelhagen -- featuring a host of hip jazz players from around the European scene, and some great arrangements by Quincy Jones! The tunes are all hits by Jimmy -- but they're redone wonderfully by Quincy -- who brings in a slightly more soulful approach overall -- one that finds all the best spaces between the notes in Webb's originals, and uses them to create a wonderfully subtle sense of groove. Instrumentation includes trumpets from Jimmy Deuchar and Shake Keane, trombone from Jiggs Whigham, saxes from Karl Drewo and Wilton Gaynair, organ and celeste from Bora Rokovic, and bass from Peter Trunk -- plus some added strings -- and Quincy gets some help on the arrangements from Tom Scott and JJ Johnson, in ways that aren't entirely clear from the notes. Titles include "Sunshower", "Galveston", "Didn't We", "Up Up & Away", "Where's The Playground Susie", "Wichita Lineman", and "Honey Come Back".

thanks for the opinions on the hubbard... !

Funny, the used books store where I just bought some used vinyl (see here) had some Musica Jazz reissues of MPS albums, including the Hubbard one with Eddie Daniels and the Dizzy Reunion Berlin one).

I've seen that Edelhagen, thought it was one of the comps, with that lousy cover.... going from the tunes they do, it should be a pretty commercial affair, but I'll get an earful when I see it next!

[shaft]

I just love the Edelhegen!

I've played it many times.

I bought it on the account of Quincy tributing.

Sure it is a bit commercial but the players in the band really get into it!

The cover is hideous though....

Dustygroove has some of these MPS reissues now for only $8.99 each.

[Bill Nelson]

Dusty has listed a truly great MPS CD for $8.99 -- 'Sentimental Journey' by the Singers Unlimited with the Robert Farnon Orchestra. It's THE best album by a jazz vocal ensemble backed by an orchestra -- and the first time I've seen it available as a single CD.

[tranemonk]

How and where did you pull that one off??? :unsure:

bought the Duke box for the price of one fully priced CD yesterday... will report later, looking forward to some fun stuff, though not expecting too much.

[king ubu]

In some local store... otherwise I'd have mentioned it, of course! But all these Universal MPS boxes come fairly cheap over here (except for the Mangelsdorffs, which are a bit pricey).

[JETman]

Too bad. The Mangelsdorff's are the best of the lot, by a VERY WIDE margin.

[Teasing the Korean]

I need that Baden Powell set. It's out of stock on Dusty.

Yes, they're great! The two 2CD sets are around cheap though, and the live one has some of the finest Mangelsdorff around!

The 5CD sets are fairly expensive (around 35€ is the best I saw), but I still had to get them, of course! Haven't made my way through all of the music yet so far.

Just in case: to have Mangelsdorff's full MPS output, you need:

- Originals Vol. 1 (5CDs, one album per CD, in a flimsy box)

- Originals Vol. 2 (same)

- Live (2CD set)

- Solo (2CD set)

- & Friends (this one came out back with the first batches of MPS reissues done by Universal, it's not duplicated in any of the more recent sets!)

Yup, I have ALL of it. I also have the 2 double disc Originals series with 3 albums each on 2 cd's.

[king ubu]

One (the Live) only has two albums, I think. Great stuff!

[JETman]

Ok. My point was that I have duplication.

[king ubu]

Ah, yes - sorry, misread that. Never managed to track down the two "Three Originals" 2CD sets, so I was very happy about these recent reissues!

MPS is celebrating their 50th birthday. Does anyone know of they are going to reissue some stuff on cd? Or will it be streaming only?

 

i would die for a reissue of this one:

Me too.  I have only purchased one music download in my life, and it was this album.
