Dmitry Posted November 29, 2003 Report Share Posted November 29, 2003 Aside from his appearance with Stanley Turrentine on 1984's Straight Ahead cd, looks like his only recording for the label in it's hey days was with ST on That's Where It's At, from January of 1962. He contributed 4 out of 6 compositions. ST appears on McCann's *Les McCann Ltd. in New York* which was recorded for Pacific Jazz in December of 61, a month before ST's own BN date. Both on the level records. I wonder if it was a contractual thing for McCann. Coincidentally, looks like That's Where It's At was the last{?} ST album with piano, before he went the organ way. I must say too bad ... because this record is a real sleeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnS Posted November 29, 2003 Report Share Posted November 29, 2003 My guess is that it was contractual. Reciprocal arrangements for swapping contracted artists for occasional dates were not that unusual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted November 29, 2003 Report Share Posted November 29, 2003 Reciprocal, yes. Les was quite prolific at Pacific Jazz. East Coast vs West Coast: East Coast: The Sidewinder West Coast: The Shampoo The difference is obvious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
