Kevin Bresnahan Posted July 24, 2020 Report Posted July 24, 2020 On 7/22/2020 at 6:44 AM, Dan Gould said: 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 I got your answer Dan - the label appears to have the Contemporary label printed up beforehand, but the inner album info appears to be a hand stamp. So someone forgot to stamp yours. But I have to add that you getting me to look at this has me noticing that the Side 1 info is very faint. It's look like whoever was stamping these labels was a bit of a slacker. Quote

chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted July 25, 2020 Report Posted July 25, 2020 listening to mulligan concert band for the 1st time- so its pianoless like his prior famous combos, but big band, i was suprised they arent his arangements though are the other concert band lps his arrangements- he was known as a big band arranger i was suprised its like gary mcfarland and george russell not mulligan. not completely sold on it as a keeper yet but its ok, do we all like this lp? maybe a scan of the mosaic notes would or a summary will give me a greater appriciation? maybe its a keeper but its not like grabbing right out at me. You know lately ive really got into anything with Mel Lewis. He knows how to do it Quote

Always found the sound of that LP a bit on the thin side - it was issued here in the UK by Pye. A welcome return to recording by Blakey though, back in the day. Quote
