Well I have a different view on that statement and found the Pablo catalogue very exciting.

I understood @jazzbo to be referring to their sales, rather than their quality.

That's correct, I just don't have the impression any particular one was a breakout hit in sales. But then again I was not near record stores or jazz radio stations, and until the 'eighties not really into that mature jazzman mainstream type of jazz.

This is such a great album.  Should've been an OJC CD.

Yes, one of their few glaring oversights.  Others include Gary Bartz - 'Home' and Sonny Simmons 'Rumasuma'.  But it's amazing how much Fantasy did get out on CD before selling to Concord, who has basically mothballed those catalogs.

Haven’t enjoyed this cd in a while. I was thinking of my late first wife Helen, and that led me to think of listening to Helen Merrill, and I saw this one, which was sitting neglected on a shelf a long time.

I hope you don't have that version. It's a Fresh Sounds LP cut from the Milestone CD. You're better off picking up that CD so you get the same audio without the added surface noise.

I did have the original LP, but disposed of it when I was able to find a CD copy.

 

Now listening to:

From Nessa Records.

Another Helen Merrill album I have not listened to in a long while. Steve Lacy makes this interesting. If there IS a typical Helen Merrill album, this is not it.
