Kevin Bresnahan Posted May 7, 2015 Report Posted May 7, 2015 Roy Eldridge - Richie Kamuca Quintet - Comin' Home Baby (Pumpkin Productions) - Recorded live at the Half Note August 22, 1965 & March 25, 1966 but remained unissued until 1978. Eldridge - trumpet Kamuca - tenor Dick Katz - piano Tommy Potter - bass* Eddie Locke - drums * Potter replaced by Don Moore on the 2 tracks recorded on March 25, 1966. This is an interesting date that I bought much more Kamuca's presence than Eldridge. It almost seems like they alternate songs for who's featured. The pianist-turned-producer plays a decent piano, if a little out of tune in places. The earlier stuff is in better sound. I wonder if there is more somewhere? I'd really like to hear it. What I have here is very good. Roy Eldridge-Richie Kamuca 'Comin' ome Baby' (Pumpkin) BTW, I've been looking for this for some time.... Quote

clifford_thornton Posted May 8, 2015 Report Posted May 8, 2015 Bent Jadig "Danish jazzman 1967" (Debut/Think!, Japan). One of those deluxe exact replica Japanese reissues..great album and top notch sound and sleeve costing a tiny fraction of what an original would set me back! That's a really good record. And no, I don't have the original either! Quote

Clunky Posted May 8, 2015 Report Posted May 8, 2015 Hey, I've only broken three digits the one. Way behind slacker.... Hey, I've only broken three digits the one. Way behind slacker.... I just don't feel comfortable spending big on a single title no how matter how good or rare it might be. Even if I could afford it the sense of guilt that the money should have been spent more wisely would more than likely take the shine off a rare "once in a life-time" acquisition. Of course that statement is full of contradictions given the total I've spent of LPs/CDs, 78s, books and live concerts. But that's just me.... Quote

clifford_thornton Posted May 8, 2015 Report Posted May 8, 2015 you guys are sane. That's the problem. Quote
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted May 9, 2015 Report Posted May 9, 2015 again, so bad need upgrade. i mean they can redo all the 50s stuff but the audiophile reissues of 60s bns is definetly lacking by comparison, a lot of my favorite bns of the 60s have never been redone Quote

It's probably just a bad recording. Quote
riverrat Posted May 9, 2015 Report Posted May 9, 2015 Yesterday I listened to a new-to-me copy of the Connoisseur Series vinyl of Wayne Shorter's Schizophrenia. Sounded fine to me, and was certainly more affordable than an early issue. Quote

HutchFan Posted May 10, 2015 Report Posted May 10, 2015 Dave Liebman, Richie Beirach, George Mraz, Al Foster - Quest (Palo Alto Jazz, rec. 1981) This first Quest LP is really wonderful. It's a shame that it isn't more readily available. Quote

mjazzg Posted May 10, 2015 Report Posted May 10, 2015 Cecil Taylor - New York R&B [Candid] Marvin Hannibal Peterson - Live in Antibes [inner City] two contrasting LPs from yesterday's record shop visit. Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted May 10, 2015 Report Posted May 10, 2015 Marvin Hannibal Peterson - Live in Antibes [inner City] Back in the 80s I saw HMP in the cellar of a Nottingham pub called The Black Boy. He referred throughout to how happy he was to be playing here in The White Boy. The pub no longer trades under that name. Great concert. Quote

Nice tale, Bev.Listening to this LP I can imagine he was pretty powerful in the flesh Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted May 10, 2015 Report Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) A bit strange, actually. I looked online and the pub was demolished in 1969 - caused quite a fuss as it was a much loved piece of Victorian Gothic, replaced by a standard post-war Littlewoods. I can only think the name must have moved. The original was on Long Row on the Market Square; the place I used to go for jazz concerts was up one of the connecting streets towards the Theatre Royal. Ah, I'm not going mad: In 1979 Nottingham's premier jazz venues were at the Black Boy on Market Street, run by Les Eastham and Notts County Council Leisure Services.
