I thought it might have been 'stonking' (which this album most likely is).

I believe that Fresh Sound have also done a vinyl reissue of this Ronnell Bright LP. Paris Jazz Corner auctioned off an original a couple of years ago - not sure what it sold for.

Just spinning CD1 of my Jazz Crusaders box (arrived yesterday). Sounds great ! The video was released here in the UK by TCB Publishing back in the 1980s. Not sure if it was ever issued in the US. Not easy to get hold of - the occasional 2nd hand copies do appear in UK shops.

'Stankin' ?

Yes, those deep groove Argos can sound pretty nice. I'm similarly impressed with the original Ramsey Lewis 'In Crowd'. Can be had for not too much money too, usually.

Could never work out why the guys at Mosaic didn't put that one out on vinyl. They jumped straight from BB to the Blackhawk set, for some reason.

These would be the sort who would introduce Wayne as an 'act'

There's at least 2 of us. I even like the later stuff ( ). I'll put on the Japanese Sony 'Agharta' 2LP later tonight for relaxing pre-bedtime listening with my hot chocolate ( ). Sonny Fortune absolutely smokes on side 1.

Yum ! :rsmile:

The first Monk I ever heard was an old UK '45' with 'Hackensack' on side A and 'Bye-ya' on side B. That was an ear-opening experience, have loved these Columbia sessions ever since. Time to open up the 3CD 'Retrospective' again.

Good idea. I was just sticking them in the box, on top of the cds. They were always in the way. Under the tray is the answer. ← My receipts are all under the tray. Both, the old style and the new style. ← I also run a print-out of the email order to Cindy and staple this to the old style receipt (but not the new style) before sticking it under the tray.

I've just checked the booklet, Porcy, and I'll quote what it says: 'The first three sessions in this collection were recorded in mono and in an odd kind of stereo where the rhythm section is all on one side and the entire orchestra is on the other. In addition, the enginer was getting his balance and mix for the mono master. As a result, the balance for the horns is out of whack on the 'stereo' master. Since the mono masters are beautifully mixed and sound much richer and truer to the arrangements, we have decided to use these. The first 3 sessions (a) through (c ) cover the 'Atomic' material through to 'Splanky', 'Fan Tail' and 'After Supper'. This was the October 22 1957 session. Session (d) kicks off the 'Chairman' sessions with 'Blues in Hoss' Flat' (recorded March 4 1958). Doesn't mention whether or not the mastering is analogue or digital but I would assume analogue. Malcolm Addey did the remastering ( ) on this in 1993 and the LPs are Q-LPs. I can vouch that the LPs on this set sound spectacular. I see that there's a copy of this set in the 'Motherlode' selection...

They both threw TVs out of hotel bedrooms...

'Bite Hard' - De Wolfe Music Library sampler of 70s grooves. Wayne Shorter 'Speak No Evil' (BN mono NY USA)

Wayne Shorter 'The Collector' (King) Eddie Bert 'Let's Dig Bert' (Fresh Sound)

There's a number missing. Jackie McLean, Monk Black Lion/Vogue, Buck Clayton for starters. Having said that, there's the Atlantic Jazz LP version. Not too often you see that. All I can say is...... drool

Thanks for the heads up - I'm on an economy drive ! ( ). Looks like the proverbial Motherlode in this listing..

Jaro original? What is the pressing quality like on this label?

Love both of these Gordon Beck LPs - the 'Gyroscope' took some tracking down, to put it mildly ! It is nearish-to-mint but needed some playing in before the sonics came to life. 'Experiments with Pops' is the one that sounds particularly astonishing on the vinyl though. Worth snapping up if seen ( ).

Yes Patricia, if it sounds good it is good, that's my mantra.. Currently spinning: Gordon Beck Trio 'Gyroscope' (Morgan). With Jeff Clyne and Tony Oxley Jazz Crusaders 'Uh Huh (King Japanese Pacific Jazz pressing)

Late in the day but hope your day was a good one !

A late one but hope your day was great !

Does she have a sister?

Yes, thanks for the info John. You are a lucky man to have it !

Was it just issued on CD, John, or was there also a limited vinyl release of this? Never seen it - would love to find a copy.
