I'm familiar with most of these tracks but have never heard of 'Shake A Lady' ( Ray Bryant ), 'Shampoo' ( Les McCann ), 'Like Young' ( Andre Previn, David Rose ),
'Dawn' ( David Rockingham Trio ), 'Greasy Spoon' ( Hank Marr ), 'Topsy II' ( Cozy Cole ). Were these indeed hits of any note and why are they lesser known these days?
Topsy Part 2 was a huge hit in the States back in the late 1950's. I remember watching the kids dance to it on American Bandstand.
Shake a Lady, Shampoo, and Like Young got lots of airplay on jazz radio back in the day - don't believe they actually crossed over to pop.

Webster Young just happens to be the first name on the cover and we tend to think of trumpeters as leaders ... I am aware it is listed as Young's date in the Prestige disco, just some thinking out aloud.
Looking at the front cover, one can assume that this is an all star date with no leader, something Prestige did regularly. On the back cover however, Young's name is shown in much larger type at the top, like this:
WEBSTER YOUNG, cornet
with
Paul Quinichette, tenor sax Joe Puma, guitar Mal Waldron, piano
Earl May, bass Ed Thigpen, drums
Five of the tunes are songs associated with Billie Holiday. The title track is a Webster Young original composition. Mal Waldron contributed two arrangements to the date.

Hank Mobley for $3300.
And it's not even an original pressing!!!
How come I never get bids like that??
Presumably a real 'original' has '47W 63rd New York 23' on one of the labels?
Oh dear !
The original would have the Lexington Ave address. This pressing is from around 1960 or later.

This looks interesting, does anyone have this in any other form? tape, vinyl perhaps? There's some interesting looking extras on it as well. I know it's Gambit by the way so don't start.
The Vancouver concert (January 30, 1965 according to Astrup) was issued on vinyl - "The Canadian Concert of Stan Getz", Can-Am 1300. It sounds to have been dubbed from a somewhat noisy disk source, not a tape, although the sound quality is pretty good. I wonder if Gambit has been able to clean it up?

At the time I thought their first four albums were brilliant. After that, they got just a liitle too "out", and not very funny. Haven't had any desire to listen to them lately, but I still think "Don't Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me the Pliers" is a classic.

We just came back from a magnificent fireworks display over Lake Quannapowitt in my home town of Wakefield, Mass. No matter how old I get, I still love the fireworks!

Lord Buckley recorded "The Naz" and other routines on two LPs for the Vaya label in 1951. He also recorded a 10-inch LP for RCA before that. One cut, The Lord's version of Marc Antony's funeral oration ("I came here to lay Caesar out, not to hip you to him..." etc.), was re-issued on a RCA comedy compilation album.
The Buckley RCA 10" LP was recorded in 1955. The track on the 1970's RCA compilation is an alternate take (different musical backing), although it doesn't say so.

Some of the unreleased Blue Notes are as good as anything that was issued when new. I especially like:
Lee Morgan - Tom Cat
Grant Green - Nigeria
Hank Mobley - A Slice Of the Top
Sonny Clark - My Conception
I've purposely kept Blue Note out of this thread -- since there are SO many BN studio dates that were released years later.
So, NO BLUE NOTE DATES, unless they were recorded for some other label, and then later released by Blue Note.
My bad. I need to look at the thread title a little more carefully.

also:
Bud Powell/Don Byas - A Tribute To Cannonball (Columbia)
With a little thought, I can definitely come up with plenty more!

As I've said elsewhere, I think y'all are getting yr undies in a bunch a little too much over Chauncey/Clem/BB's posts.
But... I'll still keep my neither here nor there stance on KB and the fact that I enjoyed the one track posted from Soul Call.
That's a good plan. It's the detractors/trolls who are missing out.
FWIW, Kenny Burrell has long been one of my favorite musicians, for a variety of reasons.
-
Oh, and what about Kid Ory on Verve? Did Verve do more dixieland stuff? Similar to the Living Legends series or those Atlantic albums on the respective Mosaic?
Turk Murphy, Lu Watters, and Bob Scobey all recorded for Verve during the Granz years.
-
Cub was a subsidiary of MGM created long before they acquired Verve.
The Quotations were on Verve long before the label was acquired by MGM.

Downloaded the folder, and unzipped it. There are 13 tracks, which I was able to burn to two CD's, and I will begin to listen to in the car on my way to work this morning!

OK, I've deleted the .rar file I downloaded last night, but when I right click on the link in your first post, I get "Webpage is Unavailable". Maybe this is a temporary situation? I am familiar with Zip files, and should have no trouble unzipping it, if I can only get the damned thing!
-
OK, I've downloaded the compressed file, and now I'm supposed to buy the software so I can open it? I went to the website, and saw that their is a trial version available, but I don't know which one to get! How about a little assistance for those of us older folks who are trying, but are somewhat technologically challenged!

13 out of 20.
Not sure I can tell Heath, Butter Brickle, & Skor apart!

The man has mad me laugh for the last 40 years - one of the greatest, smartest, and funniest!

Amalia Rodriguez and Don Byas - Encontro is up on eMusic, and I'm intrigued. I don't know anything about Fado, but Byas could play the telephone book as long as he played it real slow! Anybody heard this one?
Byas is wonderful on this. Rodriguez was very popular in Portugal, and she has a lovely soulful style. Although it may seem like strange bedfellows, Byas compliments her perfectly.

Jack,
I have a copy of "The Time and The Place" on a Collectables CD. Art Farmer's "Baroque Sketches" is also on that same Collectables CD.
I am assuming that what I have is an exact reissue of the Columbia Lp of "The Time and The Place" ?
Can you clarify that for me?
Collectables usually reissues the original LP as it was - I don't know of any instances where they have done any remastering or altering in any way, so I assume that the Collectables CD includes the fake applause. As I'm sure you know, sometimes when they put two albums on one CD, they are forced to drop a track or two. The LP had 7 tracks: The Time and the Place, The Shadow Of Your Smile, One For Juan, Nino's Scene, Short Cake, Make Someone Happy, On the Trail.

I just picked up Mosaic's release entitled "The Time and the Place". When I heard that they were going to reissue this, I wondered if they were aware that the original Columbia LP was a studio recording with fake applause dubbed in. The concert had taken place at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Columbia recorded the show, but for whatever reason, they decided not to issue the live recording, and had the band come into the studio a few months later to "recreate" the concert. The result was a fine LP, even with the sonic deception. I had the pleasure of seeing this group twice back in the 1960's, so the record has always been a favorite.
Well, this "reissue" is not the original LP at all - it is the live recording that has been sitting in the vaults all these years. Like many live recordings, there are a few warts, but the music is wonderful, and I highly recommend it. The band is Art Farmer, Jimmy Heath, Albert Dailey, Walter Booker, and Mickey Roker. By the time the band recorded the originally issued LP, Dailey had been replaced by Cedar Walton, so this new release is especially valuable.

In addition, there are heaps of people responsible for the "great American songbook", such as Irving Berlin, who were European.
MG
Technically, maybe. Berlin was born in Russia, and came to the US when he was five. All of the songs were written in the US.

I don't remember ever seeing this show. ...And judging by that clip, I can see why the affiliates didn't cycle through reruns endlessly. (Yikes.)
I remember this show from the 1950's. It has to be one of the tackiest shows in the history of TV!

True, Dorsey is definitely the alto soloist on "So Rare", but I believe that Stabile does play on some of the tracks on the subsequent LP, which was issued after JD's death. Tommy died two weeks after "So Rare" was recorded. Did he actually get a chance to hear the record?
