slide_advantage_redoux Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 On 'Fresh Sound' Never knew this existed till today. I am liquidating the CD and LP collection of a friend and his wife. This was among the CDs. Anyone familiar with the session? With this lineup it is a keeper.

mjzee Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 On eMusic, someone posted this data: Lee Morgan & Conte Candoli: Double Or Nothin' - Lee Morgan & Conte Candoli: Trumpet, Benny Golson & Bob Cooper: Tenor Sax, Frank Rosolino: Trombone, Wynton Kelly & Dick Shrieve: Piano, Red Mitchell: Bass, Stan Levey & Charlie Persip: Drums - Recorded: \"Lighthouse Club\", Hermosa Beach, CA, February 14 & 27, 1957 - Original sessions are credited to Howard Rumsey & charlie Persip. Conte Candoli is playing on only 2 tracks. Nice, but not essential album. It's slightly misleading the way they packaged it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 This is what the original LP album looked like I enjoyed it. OK it's not essential but the sessions looked (and sound) like fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romualdo Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 This is what the original LP album looked like I enjoyed it. OK it's not essential but the sessions looked (and sound) like fun! was released last year as a "nice price" TOCJ CD with the same original cover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head Man Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 I wonder why Howard Rumsey has never had "The Mosaic Treatment". Too many recordings, perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillF Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 I wonder why Howard Rumsey has never had "The Mosaic Treatment". Too many recordings, perhaps? Perhaps because so much was available on OJC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 (edited) Rumsey recorded for several labels: Contemporary, Liberty - where else? Edited September 16, 2012 by mikeweil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Kart Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 As attractive as many of the bands/dates Rumsey nominally led, the basic problem with most of them to some degree IIRC is that Rumsey was not a very talented/swinging bass player but something of a plodder. They were his gigs, though. To stay within the same general bag of players, say, Monty Budwig would have made a considerable difference.

T That may be true but when you're in the mood for that sort of West Coast jazz, his recordings usually 'hit the spot'. I think a box set by him would be generally well received even if the chance of it ever happening (legitimately, anyway) is very unlikely.

David Ayers Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 And this apparently is the cover of the 1962 Japanese release... Bet Howard Ramsey loved this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
