king ubu Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 I should probably pick up the Chet Baker Sextet. Never heard that one. It's good. And as a bonus it has a 4-tune Bo Zieff arranged session with pretty special line-up (t, frh, bcl, bsn, cello, b). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already have the Sextet material on the expanded Chet Baker Big Band CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Shearn Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 if you don't have JOS "Six Views of the Blues", it is a must. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 Yeah, the 70s all over again, but we've also been spoiled by the CD reissue boom. The upside, in this case, is that it's much easier to "find" oop CDs (or downloads) than ever before. Yep. No need to buy cassettes by the case any more. Hell, no real need to buy blanks by the spindle either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Alright, I own about 2/3 of these already, and I'm not a completist. How essential are the following titles within that artist's body of BN work? Or asked differently, which of the following would you put in your favorite 100 BN titles? Any of them? Adderley, Cannonball Takes Charge Montgomery, Finger Pickin' Silver, Serenade to a Soul Sister, Silver's Serenade Smith, Softly as a Summer Breeze, Straight Life Turrentine, Bluish Bag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertrand Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Serious question, not that I would have the money: how much would it cost to buy the entire Blue Note catalog off these idiots? I have a hunch that someone competent could still break even selling Blue Note material if you combine CDs and downloads. Bertrand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the initial sale of UA/Liberty to EMI in 1979 was about $9 million in today's dollars. Of course, they were buying a company that had debts of about $93 million in today's dollars...

I already have the Sextet material on the expanded Chet Baker Big Band CD. Hard to say... I have the old Big Band CD, too (never got the remaster of that one)... I'd say if you really like this kind of experimental stuff AND if the price is right, get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Berger Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 The Cannonball is awesome, one of my favorites among his pre-Yusef records. Note sure if I'd call it "essential", but it's always a very pleasant surprise. The Silvers are nice - not essential within his body of work.

mikelz777 Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 (edited) Third Silver's Serenade. It's the only one on your list of titles that I own and that's by choice. I'm fine with not owning any of the others. Edited June 10, 2010 by mikelz777 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 I wouldn't like to be without 'Serenade To A Soul Sister' and 'Bluish Bag' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost of miles Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 (edited) Bit on several of these that I long been on the fence about: Jimmy Smith, Six Views of the Blues (per Shawn's note below, Cecil Payne's presence is what finally drew me in on this one) Chet Baker/Stan Getz, West Coast Live Chet Baker/Art Pepper, The Route Edited June 10, 2010 by ghost of miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Jimmy Smith - Six Views - if you like baritone sax, get that disc, very cool. Stanley Turrentine - A Bluish Bag. That disc (and it's sister album Return Of The Prodigal Son) both contain previously unreleased material, so I'd get 'em. I wouldn't like to be without 'Serenade To A Soul Sister' and 'Bluish Bag' me either. Thankfully, I already own both of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel A Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 A deletion of dozens of Blue Note titles took place at the beginning of May. True Blue Music managed to secure a quantity of many of these titles, but that stock is limited. Here's what we still have available, although please understand that supplies are low. This seems to indicate that additional titles were deleted as well. Any idea which they were? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinmce Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 FYI Introducing Kenny Burrell can be had at an impressive price on Amazon and Ebay-- about $7.50 sealed, not bad for a 2xCD Connoisseur. The listing on Amazon must be messed up. The listing indicates it's a single disc with only 4 songs listed. Can't say I know what this would be, so I assume I'm getting what I think I am. We'll see!

Victor Christensen Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Lucky me, I have almost all of them, and the ones I don't have I have bypassed for a long time, did not wanted them. I have all the BN's that I would like to have (354 of them). For the time being am I trying to fill the holes in my Prestige collection, just bought 15 in a sale.

Patrick Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Fellas, thanks for the pointers toward Silver's Serenade and the Cannonball. Will keep my eye out especially for them. Hey, it's mid-June. Time for a nice "Jazz in June" BN sale somewhere, right? jr.com? borders? anybody? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 FYI Introducing Kenny Burrell can be had at an impressive price on Amazon and Ebay-- about $7.50 sealed, not bad for a 2xCD Connoisseur. This is the first Blue Note I bought a second copy of - just in case the first one will corrode ... I'd hate to be without these recordings. JPC in Germany is selling this one cheaply. How's the King Cole Box? The Complete Capitol Transcription Session Of The King Cole Trio (3 CDs) $38.98 I'm tempted by this one, although I really can't afford it right now. It's strictly instrumental, isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewHill Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Don't overlook those Hill titles! The RVG of Smokestack is a major sonic improvement over the old Conn. Same goes for the Ornette. Second, third, fourth the Burrell. And the Bakers are nice too, esp. Sextet and Crew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
