  4. Maynard Ferguson Birdland Dream Band

    in Recommendations

    Posted

    According to Mosaic the full list of his Roulette albums is:

    ALBUM INDEX
    25058 Swingin' My Way Through College
    25176 anthology of "twist" instrumentals
    52012 A Message From Newport
    52027 A Message From Birdland
    52038 Plays Jazz For Dancing
    52047 Newport Suite
    52055 Let's Face The Music And Dance
    52064 Maynard '61
    52076 Straight Away
    52083 Maynard '62
    52084 Si! Si! M.F.
    52090 Maynard '63
    52101 Message From Maynard
    52107 Maynard '64
    52110 The World Of Maynard Ferguson and anthologies
    52050 The Most - volume one
    52053 The Most - volume two
    52057 The Most - volume three
    52062 The Most - volume four
    52075 The Most - volume five
    52117 Big Band Scene '65
    CD:
    93272 A Message From Newport
    93900 Maynard '61
    95334 Si! Si! M.F.
    Not that many available on CD. "A Message from Birdland" seems readily available but "Si! Si! M.F." is going for silly money at the moment.

  12. Carlos Garnett on Muse

    in Re-issues

    Posted

    The UK reissue label, Soul Brother Records, will be reissuing all five Muse albums over the next year. Black Love will get things started on April 7th.

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Black-Love-Carlos-Garnet/dp/B00IO0X1LS/ref=sr_1_3?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1393558514&sr=1-3&keywords=soul+brother+records

    Thanks for the heads-up, doug.

    Can I ask where you got the information about all five being released. Their website (if this is it)

    http://www.soulbrother.co.uk/

    hasn't been updated for a long time.

    The last sentence of the linked Amazon Product Description: "This is the first of five Carlos Garnett Muse albums that we will be issuing on CD over the next year".

    Sorry....can't see it

    I added the product description from Amazon UK to the first post.

    Thanks for that Doug.....I don't want you to think I'm questioning what you say, it's just that I cannot seem to find the product description you refer to on the Amazon page of your link. Ah well, it's not the first time I haven't been able to see for looking.... :(

  13. Bethlehem label being reissued in US

    in Re-issues

    Regarding which ones to pick up...

    Thanks for your recommendations, Baker! I realized I actually have one album on Bethlehem (Nina Simone's first), but there should be room for a couple of more titles on my shelves.

    Daniel, I would not want to be without the two Ellington, the three Mingus, and others are well worth checking out including the two Williamsons, the Tormes (if you're at all into Mel) and the Leveys.

    ....especially the Levey's!

  19. Complete Bud Powell Blue Note/Roost and Verve

    in Mosaic and other box sets...

    Posted

    A recent e-mail from Downtown Music Gallery:

    BUD POWELL TRIO s With CHARLES MINGUS or OSCAR PETTIFORD or FRANKLIN
    SKEETES or GEORGE DUVIVIER or CURLY RUSSELL/ROY HAYNES or ART TAYLOR
    or SONNY PAYNE + CHARLIE PARKER/DIZZY GILLESPIE/CANDIDO - Birdland
    1953 (ESP Disk 4073; USA) Bud Powell ranks as one of the most
    influential pianists in jazz history, his style having provided the
    template for innumerable bebop pianists who followed in his wake.
    This newly compiled and mastered three-CD set captures Powell at his
    peak on his home turf at the famed Birdland club, recorded onsite
    (these are not "air checks" taped from radio), and mostly working
    with top-notch sidemen such as Charles Mingus, Oscar Pettiford, Roy
    Haynes, and Art Taylor, along with guest appearances by Charlie
    Parker and Dizzy Gillespie. Producer Michael D. Anderson fixed pitch
    problems and personnel listings that have plagued previous versions
    of some of this material from the collection of Boris Rose as issued
    on other labels.
    From Russ Musto's booklet essay: "Powell biographer Peter Pullman
    noted, in his carefully researched volume Wail: The Life of Bud
    Powell, that 1953 was 'the busiest year of Powell's career.' After
    having spent more than sixteen months in various mental institutions,
    where he was subjected to electroshock therapy, the great pianist was
    finally released early in that year. Declared 'incompetent' by the
    state of New York, he was placed under the supervision of Oscar
    Goodstein, his personal manager and the manager of Birdland, who
    booked 'Powell to play for twenty weeks at the club,' according to
    Pullman. The regular work that the pianist had during the year
    allowed him to regain much of the virtuoso technique that had often
    eluded him after repeated nervous breakdowns; on good nights (several
    of which are documented here) he once again proved that he was indeed
    'The Amazing Bud Powell.'"
    3 CD box set for $27

  20. Pee Wee Russell on Impulse!

    in Discography

    Posted

    Thanks everyone, I'd forgotten that "The Spirit of '76" was in the Oliver Nelson Mosaic box.

    The reason I was asking was because "The College Concert..." is paired with "New Groove" in a release by one of those Andorran labels and I wondered what it's provenance might be. I know "New Groove" has been previously re-issued by Collectables but I wasn't sure where "The College Concert.." might have come from.

    I like both albums so I might just treat myself to this two-fer.
