mikeweil Posted October 25, 2018 Report Posted October 25, 2018 (edited) Listening to the last four Mercer Records tracks that were missing in my collection, bought them as amazon downloads, who probably sourced them from the Chronologal Classics CDs, they sound very good. Howard McGhee (tp) Joe Roland (vib) Kenny Drew (p) Oscar Pettiford (cello) Tommy Potter (b) Art Taylor (d) New York, April 28, 1951 M4025 Swingin' till the girls come home Mercer 1966 M4028 Bei mir bist du schon Mercer 1966 Bill Davis And His Real Gone Organ : Wild Bill Davis (org) Duke Ellington (p) John Collins (g) Jo Jones (d) New York, October, 1950 M4023 Things ain't what they used to be Mercer 1955 M4024 Make no mistake (de out) Mercer 1955 A nice surprise is to hear John Collins soloing!

jeffcrom Posted October 26, 2018 Report Posted October 26, 2018 Jemeel Moondoc - Revolt of the Negro Lawn Jockeys (Eremite) Quote
duaneiac Posted October 26, 2018 Report Posted October 26, 2018 The first album here was a quartet with Andre Previn, Red Mitchell and Frank Capp. It's an all Kurt Weill album, but the focus is on his German theater songs (all but two of the tunes do come from The Threepenny Opera), so no "My Ship" or "September Song" will be found here. It's an okay album, worth hearing , but not a "must hear" item. The second album finds J.J. Johnson as the only instrumental soloist amid an orchestra and a group of "voices" who would fit someplace between Esquivel and Anita Kerr. There are some good trombone solos to be heard here, but I'm sure few jazz fans would want to wade through the rest of the musical muck simply to savor those few moments. It would be nice if someone could extract Mr. Johnson's solos, back them up with some newly recorded rhythm section with perhaps some added guest horn soloists as well, and thereby construct a decent album. Sure it would be a musical Frankenstein's creation, but it's that time of year . . . Quote
