JSngry Posted January 11, 2014 Report Posted January 11, 2014 The Joe Carroll has Grant Green, right? Is it really a lounge-type affair? I've never heard it myself, just wondering. Quote
gmonahan Posted January 11, 2014 Report Posted January 11, 2014 I liked the Carroll album, and didn't somebody point out it's his only "leader" album? One of the only ones anyway. It is an odd set, though, that's true. gregmo Quote
mjzee Posted January 11, 2014 Report Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) The Joe Carroll has Grant Green, right? Is it really a lounge-type affair? I've never heard it myself, just wondering. I recall it being very "happy." Every tune is a happy tune. Bah, humbug. New York - February 12, 1962 Joe Carroll (vcl) acc. by Connie Lester (ts) Specs Williams (org) Grant Green (g) Lee Ainsley (d) Edited January 11, 2014 by mjzee Quote
JSngry Posted January 11, 2014 Report Posted January 11, 2014 Whoa! Conrad Lester too!?!?!?!?! That's my kind of lounge! I have a beat-up copy of a Joe Carroll LP on Epic, so this was not his only leader date. Not sure of there were any more though. I agree that for me, a little Joe Carroll goes a long way. But I fully enjoy going there with that little bit. Quote
neveronfriday Posted January 11, 2014 Report Posted January 11, 2014 It's Membran, isn't it? If it is ... meh. Tis indeed, but look at the "pretty good to very good" list in mjzee's most helpful overview, with which I agree ... alternatives would be aplenty in an ideal world, but as it is, there's some on Collectables (licensed, I guess) and some on Fresh Sound and the like ... and yes, I do have the official Pepper and Moore abd Paich discs. Also look at the other thread for plenty of info, including some discussion of sound that's not all that unfavorable. Thanks for the heads up! Quote
jazzbo Posted January 11, 2014 Report Posted January 11, 2014 The Joe Caroll is fun, I like it. I like him with Diz. Quote

I found little discussion about this set on Organissimo - someone had provided a link to the track listing, but the link no longer works and I have been unable to find any detailed track listing for this set, which sells for $89.99 on Amazon.

It's not likely that they are the same masterings. Membran has gone through some changes since those 100 CD boxes. The sound quality has improved significantly. Quote

JSngry Posted February 2, 2014 Report Posted February 2, 2014 http://www.berkshirerecordoutlet.com/search.php?submit=Find&brocode=148353&show=1 EMI/Angel 50 CD Beethoven box for less than $1.00/disc (pre-shiiping, about $1.25/disc with shipping). For the major works, best to look for quality over quantity, this is not one-stop shopping, this isn't, no way, don't even go there, but there''s enough here to still be a good investment, just to get basic familiarity with overall output. Or, if you're one of those people for whom interpretational differences is irrelevant and/or unnoticeable, hey, there's a buttload full of Beethoven all up in here, so saddle up, Fidelio, let's ride. YEE-HAW! Quote
Bigshot Posted February 3, 2014 Report Posted February 3, 2014 By the way, for the folks with the Charlie Parker Records box, the mono material sounds a lot better if you rip it to true mono instead of the way it's presented on the disks. When they did the transfer from LPs, they transferred in stereo. If you sum the channels together to create true mono it cuts the surface noise in half. Quote
TedR Posted February 3, 2014 Report Posted February 3, 2014 The Vogue box for $28: http://www.amazon.com/Jazz-Disques-Vogue-Various/dp/B0087PI57K/ Ordered this morning. Price down to $25.05. Thanks for the post. Looking forward to this since I do not have any of this music currently. Quote

I have a mono switch on my preamp and hadn't thought to try that. Quote
