chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 (edited) i was watching the lee morgan/john gilmore/john hicks/victor sproles/blakey band on that uk tv program, and i was thinking my god. if only blakey was still w/ blue note, this band would of made a KILLER record together. just like the video. instead they went over to limelight ....and some mediocre sessions that produced some stuff for compilations, think. THINK: if there had been a blue note lp w/ that jazz 625 lineup.... Edited November 16, 2010 by chewy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While making several sessions for Blue Note spanning the years 1960-64, he and the Jazz Messengers also made excellent recordings during that time for Impulse and Riverside. It appears that the Lion and the Wolff in at least a few instances did not demand exclusivity from the artists they recorded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnS Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 Saw this band live in London. If I recall the lp 'S Make It doesn't do the band and, especially Gilmore, justice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
