I also just picked up that Watanabe from CDJapan along with several Great Jazz Trio titles and a lot of other good East Wind stuff, still working through that stack. The prices were amazingly low, with shipping and tax still came in under $9 each 8 hours ago, soulpope said: Excellent .... btw from the superb sounding reissue series "East Wind Masters Collection 1000" in 2015 .... Yes, cdjapan had a huge batch of East Wind reissues come in at the end of May. I preordered several and threw in a few other items incl. that Marion Brown Offering II. Dusty Groove also got most of the reissues, but it was cheaper to order from Japan. Edited June 2, 2024 by T.D. Quote

JSngry Posted June 2, 2024 Author Report Posted June 2, 2024 For reasons I don't even pretend to understand (aka Random Spotify Recommendation), I've become "interested" in Dizzy's Paris recordings from 1952 & 1953. I've got a copy of the complete 1953 Salle Pleyel concert on the way and am looking for an inexpensive copy of the Blue Star recordings. The Salle Pleyel gig is something I knew from it being parted out on Roulette in the 70s, but hearing it complete is a trip. That group was leaning in to backbeat (implied and literal) music in a way that anticipates the Messengers by a few years! The drummer Al Jones is bringing it! And Wade Legge! This one above is pretty nice. Material varies, as do arrangements, but Dizzy himself is just dandy, always. There's some good Don Byas as well. They seem to have all been 78s, so things are concise, and that highlights the exquisite expertise on display at every turn. AFAIK, the early 1950s are generally characterized as "Dizzy lost his big band and formed a night club combo with an emphasis on novelty tunes". Well, maybe so. But in Paris, anyway, it's not THAT simple. I think these records very neatly fill out the Dee Gee sides. Good stuff! Quote

That 1953 concert recording is one of my favorite Dizzy recordings. His trumpet playing is unreal on that one. Quote
