Soul Stream Posted October 5, 2008 Report Posted October 5, 2008 (edited) I was at the Austin Record Convention today and came across a basically unknown Dizzy Reece album from the 70's. I didn't buy it...should I have?... It did have "Theme From the Exorcist" on it. Pretty wild jazz album with a red cover. Anybody know anything about this LP?????

All Reece originals , 'cept for that Exorcist theme . I haven't heard it , but FWIW , I usually listen to Reece records for the sidemen as much as the leader ; in this case the supporting crew includes Beirach and Grossman , which doesn't galvanize me one way or the other .

Soul Stream Posted October 5, 2008 Author Report Posted October 5, 2008 That's the album on Honeydew! Is it rare or worthwhile? Also saw an LP called Texas Jazz Festival that was a live recording from a festival in Chorpus Christi in the 50's starring Clark Terry. Didn't pick it up, but it did seem pretty cool. My last find was a Jack Wilson from the 70's with Clarence Johnston on drums. All acoustic album except for a few cuts with Rhodes...forget the title...anyone remember this one? Quote
clifford_thornton Posted October 6, 2008 Report Posted October 6, 2008 Yeah, I almost bought that one too! I've not heard that it ranks too highly, and Beirach is not one of my go-to guys on the piano. Still, it's not that common. I guess for $5 I shoulda bought it, but my haul was decent enough as it is and now that I finally got all my LPs out of storage, space IS a problem... Quote
randyhersom Posted October 7, 2008 Report Posted October 7, 2008 Jack Wilson - Innovations (on Discovery)?? I own a scratchy LP would buy CD if it was available. Good but not quite up to Something Personal. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted October 8, 2008 Report Posted October 8, 2008 I was referring to the Reece. I have passed up that Jack Wilson on other occasions, though. Quote
