Another very good Tone Poet.

If you like Chanbers' arco bass solos... not my favorite.

Tone Poet version - excellent

I don´t really know what is Tone Poet, but I had the Herbie Hancock album on the BN LA series with them ugly paper back covers and blue letters. But while other albums from that series where reissues of entire albums, this was only a sampler and had a few tracks from each of Hancocks LPs. 
The Prisoner is great, especially for the contributions of Joe Henderson. I bought individual CDs of the Hancock albums.

Charlie Parker Memorial Concert (Cadet)

I couldn´t read who is on it. 
I think I have somewhere a Charlie Parker Memorial 1965 (10 years after Charlie Parker´s death but it has more musicians form the generation before Bird (Coleman Hawkins and Roy Eldrigde).

Well I like "Whims of Chambers" more, because it has Trane and Philly J.J., but I have heard not for only one time that some do not really like Chambers with arco. Why ? The first arco I heard in my live was Chambers on Well you Needn´t from the "Steamin´album" and then on "Whims". It was incredible. I couldn´t believe that you can play something like that on a bass fiddle and Chambers was something like a "hero" for me . 

Well that BN album is nice and there are fantastic arco solos, but it´s a bit too much. A whole album mostly bass is a bit too much. That´s why I like "Whims" more. Bass player as leader yeah, like Paul on "Whims" and Mingus on all his albums, but leader does not mean you solo all the time.

Well..... I do. Nice contribution by Kenny Burrell too so this is a winner.

Not having an original of this one, or ever likely to have an original, the TP release is a great option. Being a stereo release I guess the comparison would be against the 1966 Liberty, with the Tone Poet likely to be superior.

"I couldn´t read who is on it.

This Charlie Parker Memorial Concert (on Cadet) is from 1970 and has some unusual combinations. For example, Dexter Gordon with Von Freeman, Red Rodney, Roy Haynes, Jodie Christian and Rufus Reid.

Another is Kenny Dorham with Ray Nance, Joe Daley, Rufus Reid, Muhal Richard Abrams and Wilbur Campbell.

Also, Lee Konitz with Art Hoyle, John Young, Rufus Reid and Philly Joe Jones.

Good record.

Track 1 on this CD is mislabled, it is actually "Steeplechase" by Charlie Parker. Nearly every writer who reviewed it at the time of release caught this error.

We find that also with "Lee Konitz composition" sounding like well known originals.  Even with some  Kenton and Miles Davis recordings where tunes sound familiar. Nothing knew to me.

Is this the one with Earl Coleman on it. I´m not really a fan of vocal jazz, but I love Earl Coleman, Billy Eckstine, Johnny Hartman etc......, and it´s great to hear Sonny in that rare context.....

Interesting all star thing. 
I heard Dizzy about the same time with an All Star Band, I don´t remember exactly the personnel, but it was Diz with Phil Woods, maybe Steve Turré , I don´t remember who was on piano, Rufus Reid was on bass and Mickey Roker on drums. 
Well I would have liked Jackie McLean more than Phil Woods, but he is also okay. 
Maybe Diz due to advanced age did not hit every note the way he wanted but it was pure bop, you still could learn very much from listening to him. I remember they played "Tour de Force" or this was the only track that was recorded for television than.....

The "JWC" series (15 volumes)  belongs to the best Jazz series ever issued (IMO)

I have a number of those ‘Jazz West Coast’ compilations.

Forget originals - this sounds pretty good. ‘Two Trumpets’ and ‘Young Bloods’.

Enjoyed both of these, must be ten years since I dug them out last

Just cracking this one open. Decent sound, lots of ‘punch’ in the vinyl version.
