  1. Prestige Swingville Series

    in Discography

    Posted

    One of the more unusual recordings in the Swingville series was "The Happy Jazz Of Rex Stewart" (Swingville LP 2006; also issued as "Rex Stewart Memorial Album" on Prestige 7728, this one I have on vinyl). Does anyone know if this album has ever been reissued on cd?

    This is a great series - veteran musicians who still had plenty to say, and well recorded. Here's a link to a complete list

  6. Europa Jazz LP: EJ-1008

    Thanks a lot, Stereojack.

    So this Barney Wilen dissertation is wrong, as it lists two tracks from that concert in the Europa LP (Indiana & Now's the time) [see page 111]

    and this Stan Getz online discography is right.

    Are there liner notes in the Europa LP?

    If so, do they mention if "Indiana" was recorded at a "regular concert" from the Festival or at a mammoth jam session that took place the last day of the festival (and that also included Dizzy Gillespie and Tete Montoliu)?

    Regards,

    Agustín

    The liner notes on this (and most of the other LP's in this series) are useless bullshit, and the discographical details are inaccurate. I got my information from Arne Astrup's Stan Getz discography. There is no "Now's the Time" on this LP.

    I checked through the other Europa LP's, and on 1040 there is a version of "Now's the Time", credited to Rene Thomas Quintet. There are two tracks on the LP credited to Thomas, but the instrumentations don't match. The date given is 1962. On this track, the instrumentation is alto sax, guitar, bass, drums. Might this be Wilen?

  16. green label CTI lps

    in The Vinyl Frontier

    some fellow emailed me in reference to a RED CLAY album i listed on ebay (why, or why) saying original press has green label , not tan. I don't think I have ever seen one like that. or any CTI lp with a green label. anyone expert on this ?

    The earliest CTI's (maybe the first five or six) are green label, after which they changed to the more familiar tan/yellow label.

    I bought "Red Clay" as a new release - it has a green label.
