Besides "yourmusic," several of the titles (probably the same ones) are available at BMG - they might actually be a little cheaper there under the current year-end deal.
-
Well, I might have been premature in calling for holding off on the obituary - the site has a message saying they're not accepting any new members, and it directs you to "yourmusic."
-
Might be premature to write the obituary here, but it's clear the handwriting is on the wall and it's only a matter of time...
-
Good point. On the other hand, I do enjoy an alternate take of something that I'm familiar with - Milestones, Moanin', This Here, Tunji - fun to hear different solos in there. But another version of some routine hard bop number? There was a reason it was left out to begin with.
-
That's the album! A good one, I've never seen a reissue.
-
There was a "live" recording by the Taylor trio (maybe on a Capitol label - Tower?) that had a good version. The whole album was nice, and seems to have disappeared. Another version by him, not as interesting (has some kind of band over-dubbed), is available on one of those Blue Note compilations.
-
A couple years ago Steig's "Flute Fever" was listed as "upcoming" by Collectables, but it never made it. I was hoping it would be tacked on to that Mosaic Denny Zeitlen package.
-
A few cuts from the Cleopatra album were on an anthology of his Columbia material on the "Black Son" label, whatever that is. They also reissued Horn's "live" double LP that was on Island - the album with Freedom Jazz Dance. These are probably long gone.
-
This album was my introduction to the tune. And my introduction to "Moanin'" was Henry Mancini's "Combo." So you never know.
-
Asked Nathan Davis about the "Soul Eyes"/Domicile LP - he said it was legit.
-
Picked this issue up this afternoon, and it almost sounds like a different album! (Sound-wise, that is - the music is the same easy listening it always was.) Thanks for pointing me to it.
-
I also like this album, and it's certainly no worse than Green's other later work on Blue Note and Kudo. A "commercial" setting, to be sure - sort of a poor man's "A&M" period piece - but the tracks are long, there are a couple of other soloists, and Green himself sounds great.
-
"Basie In London" was apparently recorded in Sweden. ("Basie In Sweden" WAS in Sweden. I think.) All the McDuff "live" Prestige material is suspect.
-
In the great tradition of phoney "live" recordings!
-
If the brushes are not extended all the way they can have a sharper attack. And the brushes can also be played in reverse - striking the kit with the metal end.
-
Big Al - Let me take back what I said above... Most of the studio cuts, which make up about half of the album, are in the vein of "Down Home Style," a similar kind of sound. (The rest of the album is from the London House, not necessarily a room you associate with organ groups.)
-
Not sure that I'd compare it to "Down Home Style" - most of "Gin" has the sound of his working groups at the time, whille "Style" has always struck me as more of a studio creation, what with the prominent sound of the electric base.
-
Haven't heard it in years, don't think it's essential, but nice to have some Cadet McDuff available. I remember being disappointed in the "live" tracks, which in no way represented what it was like to hear that particular edition in a club - that was something! McDuff did this false ending/dropping a handerkerchief bit on "Gin & Orange" - talk about getting a crowd worked up!

"Jazz From Finland 2008."

Is there a list of the titles anywhere? And where do you find them? I asked (in another thread) what was happening with the major labels' catalogs these days - "Living Stereo," "Great Performances," not sure what catch phrase Universal might be using for their holdings - I miss walking into a Tower and seeing the new issues together in an actual display!
-
About 10 years ago they seemed like a semi-big deal, with claims for longevity and sound quality. Are they still around? (Other than in the cut-out bins...)
-
Herbie Mann! Sonny Sharrock drove people to the exits! (Roy Ayers had just left the group, so Sonny got plenty of solo space.) (Miroslav Vitous & Bruno Carr rounded out that edition.) And the Dead (on a triple bill - Velvet Underground and the Fugs opened) (those were the days!) - it was at Pittsburgh's old Stanley Theater (maybe 1968?), it felt like you were on a busy airplane runway.
-
It's available on the recent Ace compilation of jazz 45's - "Jazz Hits...1958-1966."
-
Paul Serrano, "Blues Holiday," one of those "Cannonball Adderley Presents" albums on Riverside.

His brief solo on that Billy Joel tune is a worthy addition to the list of jazz musicians showing up in unlikely pop places.
