The Magnificent Goldberg Posted June 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Richie Kamuca is on the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis album "Consummation", which someone was playing today - you I think Not a BN date. The Jones/Lewis big band records were made for Solid State. That one appears to have been issued on Blue Note, not Solid State, after Solid State was closed down by UA. Reissues from UA labels are segregated from the BN own sessions in the discography. Same applied to Jimmy McGriff's "Black pearl".

Big Wheel Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 (edited) Richie Kamuca is on the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis album "Consummation", which someone was playing today - you I think Not a BN date.

Reissues from UA labels are segregated from the BN own sessions in the discography. Same applied to Jimmy McGriff's "Black pearl". MG If we're going to get that arbitrary about it we might as well just throw in all the Pacific Jazz/Roulette/Jubilee sessions in there that were reissued by EMI in the 1990s (and thus count Frank Wess). Consummation was produced by Sonny Lester, not Alfred Lion or Frank Wolff. It was given a Solid State catalogue number and Mosaic put it out on the The Complete Solid State Recordings of the Thad Jones / Mel Lewis Orchestra. Saying that Kamuca "recorded for BN" because of the way Solid State's ownership was transferred is a stretch.

Pete C Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Pharoah Sanders is on two Don Cherry Blue Notes. Never knew that. Perhaps I should look for those. Is one of them "Symphony for improvisers"? MG Yes - classic album. He also played on the very good Where Is Brooklyn. Guy Very good, but not in the same league, IMO, as Symphony for Improvisors, which is closer in form and style to Complete Communion.

You're obviously correct. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
