Arnett Cobb - CHITLIN' SHOUT

[JSngry]

Yeah yeah yeah and blah blah blah, but hey. The title says it all.

As chittlins are intestines, I would imagine that any "shout" emerging from them would be exceedingly funky!

I really like all the Arnett on Prestige. Great listening. A real master.

Weinstock did a great job teaming Arnett with younger, more "modern" players, and the results are fantastic since the young guys play with nothing but respect and admiration and "for" the music.

...thinking specifically of "Movin Right Along" "Party Time" and "More Party Time"...Tommy Flanagan, Bobby Timmons and Ray Bryant all do a great job on piano on these sessions, not to mention Art Taylor, Sam Jones, ect and others....

"Funky" is just the tip of the iceberg...

So what about the other 9/10ths?

[jazzbo]

I haven't heard this one but I'm sure it's great.

"Movin' Right Along" is one of my favorite Prestiges. Not Cobb Prestiges. . . Prestiges!

[JSngry]

This date ain't like the Prestiges, or like anything else in Arnett's discography. This is Arnett with a Houston club band playing the club music of the time. It's loud, unsubtle, "commercial", and totally real.

Wow, I was unaware of that...have to check that out.

I have an Arnett lp called "The Wild Man From Texas" on Classic Jazz (CJ-102). It was recorded 5/12/76 and 5/30/76. When I first saw this thread I thought that was the record until I checked the tune list. In any event the Classic Jazz record is great also.

Arnett is terrific - I'll have to seek this Prestige one out.

Ok, contrary to what the cover looks like, this is NOT a Prestige date. It's from the JApanes P-Vine label, and the ersatz cover is their;s as well. They also mention that this was originally released as Blue Thumb BTS 66, but that was a Paul Humphrey side.

The other cover posted above was the original. The album was produced by the notorious Roy C Ames ( http://www.yee.ch/~jwinter/Disco/royc_ames.htm ), by whom Don Robey was a saint in comparison, and released on Home Cooking/Collectables ( http://www.soulsounds.com/Brownvscoll.html ). It's alos been out on the Austrailian AIM label, as Texas Sax, with the same original illustration for the cover. P-Vine list the recording date as 1971, which is plausible, although I lean towards a few years later. Personnel includes Jimmy ford (yes, THAT Jimmy Ford!) & Malcom Pinson, so I'm thinng it was a Houston affair all the way.

All of this I've just found out in the last 24 hours. I'd had the original issue on cassette for a number of years, and yesterday somebody hipped me to the P-Vine. I soon realized that they were the same album! Copies of the other, previous, issues are still available online, btw.

[Harold_Z]

I found the Aim issue online last night and ordered it. Dusty G. is temporarily out of the P-Vine. Apparently there are 3 or 4 different recordings with the name "Wild Man From Texas" (was this a billing that Arnett used ?) so anyone interested should check the tune list or recording date.

[JSngry]

After a few more listens to this, I feel confident in saying that if this session had had the benefit of a better, less "local studio" recording, and if Bob Porter would have been the producer, that this album would go down as the Legends Of Acid Jazz Album to End All Legends Of Acid Jazz Albums, even though there's not too much organ on it.

The closing cut, "Medusa" is as fierce as this stuff gets. And the rest of it ain't far behind.

I've listened for the first time to the Collectables version of this one.

Wow. I diggeth it!

Well, color me stupid. I'd seen this at Blue Note Records in Miami for years and years (a 1998 P-Vine version) but would never pay their $33 price. So I swung by there today for the first time in ages, picked up some vinyl and decided to add this in, if they'd give me some consideration. He knocked it down to $22 and I walked out pretty happy, until digging up this thread and discovering from Lon's post that Collectables has put it out.

[Joe]

I have the previous issue and can vouch for this one. Its real (i.e., JSngry real).

[Shawn]

Dan's complaining about buying vinyl???

LOL
