Blue Train Posted August 6, 2013 Report Posted August 6, 2013 Is "Jazz on Jazz" a "legit" label? Is this stuff really all unreleased? The site seems to have several releases by them, but I can't find a single official link for the site. I can only find info about them listed on torrent sites. http://www.jazzmessengers.com/en/7316651/complete-catalog-of-the-label-jazz-on-jazz Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted August 6, 2013 Report Posted August 6, 2013 These are folks selling stuff from torrent or download sites. Not hard to figure out. Quote
king ubu Posted August 6, 2013 Report Posted August 6, 2013 The Pepper Adams in Albany hurts ... I guess this is from the stash of tapes of the guy who organized a series of concerts there and is sharing some of his tapes (usually recorded with mics up on stage) over on dime. This is your old bootlegging, no PD, no "grey", just plain bootleg. Not sure where they got the Webster and Farmer from, if they were on dime I missed them, but hey, you can't take it with you... As for Wes Montgomery, as so often the info is botched - recording dates are way off and the bass players, too: #5-7: 1965-09-24 (Paul Chambers) #1-3: 1965-11-05 (Ron Carter) #4,8,9: 1965-11-12 (Larry Ridley) #10/11: 1965-11-19 (Herman Wright) Bootleggers usually do the "hit & run" business, missing out additional details provided by knowledgeable folks in the comments over on dime. This sucks bigtime. There's an even more botched George Russell set which RLR took form a set compiled by yours truly. Nice enough that I got a "donation" later on: a much better-sounding, longer version with full line-up (my educated guesses were off ... we do our best, don't we?). Anyway, the boot was out before, so there! Quote
