mikeweil Posted July 20, 2020 Report Posted July 20, 2020 Japanese reissue from 1984 Now playing: This original Pacific Jazz LP in excellent condition sounds much better than the recent Japanese CD reissue! Quote

mikeweil Posted July 20, 2020 Report Posted July 20, 2020 It fits very well into Eddie Harris' series of satirical comments on human behaviour. That style of Pop Art was very much en vogue back then. Peter Palombi did that one. Here's another example in that style: 7 minutes ago, bresna said: That's a seriously weird LP title and cover.

porcy62 Posted July 21, 2020 Report Posted July 21, 2020 Just received this one, bought on discogs at fair price. Quote
mjazzg Posted July 21, 2020 Report Posted July 21, 2020 (edited) Two of today's arrivals, quite a contrast Various - The RCA Victor Jazz Workshop, The Arrangers [RCA/Bluebird]. I've read posts that are very positive about this over the years on this board so couldn't resist for £5. I'm now positive too and then... Joseph Jarman - As If It Were The Seasons [Delmark]. Simply stunning Edited July 21, 2020 by mjazzg Quote
jazzbo Posted July 21, 2020 Report Posted July 21, 2020 I love "My People," ever since I saw the selections the Orchestra performed on the Bell Telephone Hour (Canada) show. I've four cd versions. .. but this mono LP on Contact sounds the very best, just big and bold and present. Â Quote
HutchFan Posted July 21, 2020 Report Posted July 21, 2020 (edited) Cal Tjader - Puttin' It Together (Fantasy, 1974) Recorded live in January 1973 at Howard Rumsey's Concerts by the Sea Excellent. Edited July 21, 2020 by HutchFan Quote
HutchFan Posted July 22, 2020 Report Posted July 22, 2020 Hampton Hawes - Live at The Montmartre (Arista-Freedom, 1975) with Henry Franklin (b) and Michael Carvin (d); recorded 1971 I really dig this record -- along with the companion LP, A Little Copenhagen Night Music. ... Maybe I'll play that one next.   Quote
HutchFan Posted July 22, 2020 Report Posted July 22, 2020 Moving on to Dizzy's The New Continent, composed & arranged by Lalo Schifrin: Hooray to Lalo for this lush and deliciously soundtrack-y setting to showcase Diz. Not really important but still fun: I have the original Limelight LP with the pop-up gatefold sleeve.  Quote

Dan Gould Posted July 22, 2020 Report Posted July 22, 2020 This seems like a pretty obscure LP and discogs indicates never had a CD issue? Strange history to the sessions too, there are three tracks with James Clay that were recorded first week of 1980 and four tracks with Harold Land recorded in April 1986 and the LP was issued in 1987. Cedar and Billy are on all tracks, bass is Dumas with Clay and Buster Williams with Land. No other information on the back. So how come only three tracks were recorded with Clay and seven years before release? Was there a plan for a James Clay record and he wasn't having a good day? And did they just record enough Land in order to get the record out? It's all very confusing but I am glad to have some more James Clay to enjoy. Also confusing: Discogs shows a normal full label on the Clay side but mine is a plain Contemporary label, no info on the tunes on the side. https://www.discogs.com/Billy-Higgins-Bridgework/master/1545388   Quote

I'll have to check to see what label variant I have. Quote
