Got a sudden yen for some Dizzy in a big band context. 

So I went to the shelves and pulled:

PJ-93 (mono)

 

Up next:

LS 86022 (stereo)

Coincidentally, both LPs were released in 1965.

And both records are wonderful, IMO.

 

.... and both are here too and I do agree to your comments

CD      Brooks,Tina Back to the Roots - Tina Brooks         1958-61       Blue Note  7243821737

CD      Brooks,Tina True Blue - Tina Brooks  1960  Blue Note          7243854473

What is the rest?

wow! that's pretty cool. I only have one of his records, Encounter, on Three Blind Mice, which is excellent.

The first recordings were with drummer James Zitro on the ESP label in NY 1967. I think, Allen was only 19 years old then. About the age I had when I played with him for the first time. Later in the 80´s, when we had a gig, he brought the album "Zig Zag" where he is featured. Such a great musician !

Bought from Sound Records Stroud at the weekend. Recommend the shop, interesting jazz selection.

I don’t know that shop but next time I’m passing through I’ll check it out.

Stroud - an unlikely jazz vinyl Mecca if ever there was one. I would have said Nailsworth was more likely.

That's a great trio of LPs

[kh1958]

I was a bit surprised at how much I liked solo Herbie Mann.

[mjazzg]

I'm listening to it now. Perfect for a sunny Saturday afternoon.

[kh1958]

Coleman Hawkins and Roy Eldridge, At the Opera House (Verve)

Wild Bill Davis, From Midnight to Dawn (RCA) (Wild Bill Davis quartet live at an Atlantic City club circa 1967)

Hopefully - but not holding my breath. According to the bio, Stan hated it. Personally, I think it’s great !

Which reminds me, I need to get ‘Free an’ One’ with Peter King, recently reissued by Clark T.

Wonder if the ‘British Jazz Explosion’ will reissue some of Stan’s albums on vinyl?

Don Rendell/Ian Carr Quintet - Blue Beginnings [Jazz In Britain, 2021]

Another decent release from Jazz In Britain

 

Edited June 10, 2021 by mjazzg

[Kevin Bresnahan]

Immanuel Wilkins - Omega (Blue Note)

[HutchFan]

Prompted by discussion elsewhere on the forum that it's being reissued:

Kenny Burrell - Night Song (Verve, 1969)

 

[HutchFan]

Next up:

Kenny Burrell - Up the Street, 'Round the Corner, Down the Block (Fantasy, 1974)

This one should be reissued too.  Strange that it hasn't been already.

That was the album he was touring with the first time I saw him. His band, too, not a local pickup group. La Bastille in Houston (RIP). Yes, I saw Richard Wyands about a month after graduating high school! And had no idea who hey was, except that he was in Kennyy Burrell's band. And I remembered the name, couldn't do that with any of the others, though. Return with us now to the golden days of yesteryear etc.

Burrell's 70s Fantasy output is all strong, and apart from the Ellington sides, all of a piece. I shudder to think about how all 5 (minus the Ellington records) are all going to come to market, but legit pop labels have no problem packaging 5 LPs of 30-40 minute (or less!) duration into 5 CDs with original album packaging and seeing them for enough to get by on.

He probably played better "jazz" before and after, but that run from Argo/Cadet-CTI-Verve-Fantasy made for better records (except maybe Verve, but Creed Taylor did him right, finally, on CTI). If there was to be a next-gen Mosaic, one that was less concerned about the old traditions than the new, developing ones, that would make for a good steamer trunk, especially if you start at Columbia (and maybe you should!). Just very...listenable records for most all levels of audience.
