Noj Posted January 30, 2009 Report Posted January 30, 2009 When I first joined the Blue Note BBS way back when, the first thread I ever made shared this same title. It basically had a list of my entire collection at that point, and many of you were quick to help me out with suggestions. If you click here you'll be directed to a page at my (updated) website where you can download an Excel spread sheet of my music collection. I'd love to receive suggestions from everybody for stuff I don't yet have, along with any comments or questions you might have about what I've got. Comments/suggestions/questions about my artwork are also welcome. Thanks y'all! Quote

Comments/suggestions/questions about my artwork are also welcome. Thanks y'all! Jon, is it only jazz comments you are looking for? Because while I'm glad to see so many Three Sounds recordings, I think its time to add some Lowell Fulson, B.B. King, Albert King, Freddie King, Junior Parker and Jimmy McCracklin. Also Anson Funderburgh with Sammy Myers. But that's only because I've been listening to them so much, I think everyone should listen to them too. Quote
Noj Posted January 30, 2009 Author Report Posted January 30, 2009 I'm looking for any comments, Dan! Even just funny ones. Thanks for the suggestions. I do have a bit of Albert King and BB King on my list, and I have some individual tracks by Lowell Fulson. I'll have to check out those other guys. Quote
Uncle Skid Posted January 30, 2009 Report Posted January 30, 2009 (edited) No Jelly Roll Morton? Look for the (affordable) JSP box set, and "Birth of the Hot". Sell that Flock of Seagulls record, and buy the Louis Armstrong JSP box, too! Edited January 30, 2009 by Uncle Skid Quote
rockefeller center Posted January 30, 2009 Report Posted January 30, 2009 No music suggestions from me but I'd just like to say again that your artwork is pretty damn good. Some of your stuff makes me want to return to the silkscreen printing machine... http://www.illustrashaw.com/images/ghostofellington.gif Quote
Noj Posted January 30, 2009 Author Report Posted January 30, 2009 Hehehe, perfect. Thanks Skid. I knew there would be some comments about that "other" stuff. What can I say? 80s pop is one of my weaknesses. It's my childhood. "Space Age Love Song," baby. I'm starting a new list with the recs.

Sell that Flock of Seagulls record, and buy the Louis Armstrong JSP box, too! Jon, it looks like you have a potential, if not subliminal, buyer for that Flock of Seagulls record. And may I compliment you on your possession of Ratt's "Out of the Cellar," one of the finest examples of bad-80's-hair-metal-but-oh-so-good ever made! Edited January 30, 2009 by Big Al Quote
Big Al Posted January 30, 2009 Report Posted January 30, 2009 You've got over 4,000 CDs and you're looking for stuff you DON'T have???? What else is left besides Bulgarian Monk Death Metal? Quote
Ken Dryden Posted January 30, 2009 Report Posted January 30, 2009 You can easily have a lot more than 4000 jazz CDs and still be searching for more. I've got somewhere between 12,000-15,000, though I don't bother to count them anymore. Quote
Dan Gould Posted January 31, 2009 Report Posted January 31, 2009 Jon, to expand on my suggestions: Junior Parker - Junior's Blues: the Duke Recordings, Vol.1 - MCA Junior Parker - Backtracking: the Duke Recordings, Vol.2 - MCA Junior Parker - The Mercury Recordings - Collectables Jimmy McCracklin - there are a couple of Ace reissues of his late 40s - early 50s recordings for Modern Also look for I Had To Get With It - The Best of the Imperial and Minit Years Lowell Fulson - I know you have The Tramp, so for similar stuff you can look for the Tramp Years on Ace or a two-fer called Tramp/Soul. For his earlier material, there are hard to find Chess compilations (easier if you are interested in vinyl) as well as another Ace titled The Early Kent years. Its the latter that I play the most. Freddie King - the three Very Best of on Collectables are essential, but any comp that focuses on the Federal years is a start. Best of the Shelter Years covers the latter part of his career when the recordings leaned more towards rock. Still not bad. Anson Funderburgh and the Rockets: Hard to pick out a favorite, every release I've heard has had its pleasures. Sam Myers - there's mostly only one Sam Myers CD as a leader, but its easy to find - Coming From the Old School, on Electro-Fi. Quote

Shawn Posted January 31, 2009 Report Posted January 31, 2009 "Space Age Love Song," baby. I always liked that tune. Quote

Not a Flock of Seagulls fan, but I will say this: Jon is one brave guy. There's no way in hell I'd ever post my list of all the CDs that I own... Hmmm... Bulgarian Monk Death Metal??? Sounds intriguing. I'll check that out after I outgrow with my Swedish Death metal phase. Quote
Jazzmoose Posted January 31, 2009 Report Posted January 31, 2009 Good selection of Echo & the Bunnymen, but you need some Psychedelic Furs and Teardrop Explodes. Plus more Joy Division and New Order. Oh, wait; you're looking for jazz recommendations, aren't you? Quote
Noj Posted January 31, 2009 Author Report Posted January 31, 2009 Thanks Agg, that's an awesome list. Quote
DukeCity Posted January 31, 2009 Report Posted January 31, 2009 No suggestions from me. But seeing the 5th Dimension's "Age of Aquarius" in your collection reminded me of the family dog we had when I was a kid. My older brother had that record, and there was some kind of frequency present in the title track that made our dog (lab/spaniel mix) "sing" along. Every time. Never happened with any other record. Quote
Noj Posted January 31, 2009 Author Report Posted January 31, 2009 Good selection of Echo & the Bunnymen, but you need some Psychedelic Furs and Teardrop Explodes. Plus more Joy Division and New Order. Oh, wait; you're looking for jazz recommendations, aren't you? Any recommendations will suffice. This is where the real music loons hang, you know? I want blues recs, folk recs, alt recs, soul recs, funk recs...all of the above. I'm looking for that Organissimo/former Blue Note Board/music freak overview, nowhatImean? Quote
Guest Bill Barton Posted January 31, 2009 Report Posted January 31, 2009 That's quite the list, Jon! Nice selection of Marley, by the way. As you like roots reggae I'd suggest adding some Lucky Dube to the collection. And: Some of the "other" Air... And Henry Threadgill More Count Basie (the older stuff) Definitely some Anthony Braxton Some Marion Brown... More Don Cherry! More Ornette Coleman Duke Ellington - Blanton/Webster Band collection and maybe the Fargo set too Keith Jarrett - The Koln Concert Steve Lacy! Some Gianluigi Trovesi... From G to G is a good place to start. Perhaps some "classical" music? That's off the top of my head after browsing once through the list. Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted January 31, 2009 Report Posted January 31, 2009 I see you've got a number in twice, Jon. Crusaders, The Lighthouse '66 Pacific Crusaders, The Lighthouse '68 Pacific Crusaders, The Jazz Live At The Lighthouse 1966 1966 Pacific Crusaders, The Jazz Live At The Lighthouse 1968 1968 Pacific Are these different editions of the same albums? MG Quote
Noj Posted January 31, 2009 Author Report Posted January 31, 2009 No, the list just needs some more editing. Thanks for catching that, MG. Much obliged for those recommendations, Bill. Quote
papsrus Posted January 31, 2009 Report Posted January 31, 2009 That is an impressive list of music Jon! I'd agree with Bill Barton's suggestions above -- particularly adding some Basie, some Braxton, Ornette, and Ellington's Blanton-Webster band. Also, maybe some contemporary Delmarks ... I'm particularly drawn to Keefe Jackson's stuff, but there are others: Ari Brown, Nicole Mitchell (whom I haven't heard, but she's gotten some positive comments here). Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted January 31, 2009 Report Posted January 31, 2009 I notice there isn't a an awful lot of jazz much earlier than the fifties. You might want to follow what Papsrus and I have been doing recently and getting a load of swing bands in. I've found this tremendously rewarding over the past couple of years. But you do have a Lionel Hampton I want (not to mention the Cool Aid Chemists ) - Hamp - The Legendary Decca Recordings Of Lionel Hampton (2CD) Can you post the details of this please, Jon? MG Quote
Guest Bill Barton Posted January 31, 2009 Report Posted January 31, 2009 ...Much obliged for those recommendations, Bill. You're welcome! Oh, and I just noticed that the "Taylor" section jumps from "Art" to "James." What, no "Cecil"? Admittedly the choices are scarily prolific, but I'd go with some of the classic solo piano stuff to start with: Indent Silent Tongues I agree with MG and James on earlier material. My own collection is sorely lacking in pre-1950s material too after the bulk of my LPs were ripped off about a decade ago. It's a slow process replacing all that material... The previous suggestion of Jelly Roll gets an enthusiastic and I'd look into Fletcher Henderson, McKinney's Cotton Pickers, Jabbo Smith, Luis Russell and maybe Jay McShann plus some of the other KC bands for starters. Quote
AndrewHill Posted January 31, 2009 Report Posted January 31, 2009 Impressive list Jon! Great and diverse collection of music. Can I suggest some (and sorry if I'm repeating suggestions made above): Chet Baker on Pacific Jazz: Ensemble Sextet Quartet w/Russ Freeman Big Band Playboys/Picture of Heath w/Art Pepper The Route w/Art Pepper Black sabbath: Sabotage Technical Ecstasy Never Say Die Mob Rules w/Dio Heaven and Hell w/ Dio Born Again w/Ian Gillan Bob Brookmeyer: Traditionalism Revisted Tina Brooks-Back to the Tracks Peter Brotzmann: Machine Gun Balls Nipples Fuck deBoere Little Birds Have Fast Hearts vols I & II Die Like a Dog Dave Brubeck: For All Time boxset (you have two in the set but I think the other three are just as worthy) Brubeck Play Brubeck Red Hot and Cool Bush: Razor Blade Suitcase The Science of Things More Ornette!!!!! Beauty is a Rare Thing! Science Fiction Golden Circles Love Call/New York is Now! Soap Suds Soap Suds Sound Grammar Alice Coltrane: A Monastic Trio John Coltrane: Ascension Live at the Village Vanguard Again! Complete Village Vanguard Recordings Chick Corea: The Complete "IS" Sessions The Dead Milkmen: Beezebubba Big Lizard in My Backyard Eat Your Paisley Walt Dickerson: Impressions of a Patch of Blue w/ Sun Ra Don Ellis: How Time Passes Out of Nowhere Essence New Ideas Keith Jarrett: Anything from the 'American' quartet Lee Konitz: Motion All the Mingus Candid material Gerry Mulligan on Pacific Jazz: Songbook At Storyville California Concerts w/ Chet Baker New Order: Republic Technique Low Life Big John Patton: Understanding Boogaloo Pixies: Doolittle Bud Powell's BN and Verve material Pharoah Sanders: Pharoah's First Black Unity Deaf Dumb and Blind Karma Jewels of Thought Cecil Taylor: just about everything Weezer: The Blue Album Enjoy!
