HutchFan Posted October 24, 2020 Report Posted October 24, 2020 (edited) Illinois Jacquet - The Message with Kenny Burrell (Argo/Chess) Jazz Stop series reissue and Art Pepper Quartet - The Maiden Voyage Sessions, Vol. 3 (Galaxy) Laurie Pepper: "These 3 nights at the Maiden Voyage in L.A. with George Cables, David Williams, and Carl Burnett were some of the most memorable nights of my life. This was Art's road band at the end of his life. They'd been touring nonstop for about a year, and they were tight." Edited October 24, 2020 by HutchFan Quote
HutchFan Posted October 25, 2020 Report Posted October 25, 2020 Ran Blake - Rapport (Novus) More excellent Ricky Ford sideman work on this LP. and Milcho Leviev - Plays the Music of Irving Berlin (Discovery) First spin of an LP that I plucked from a local shop's dollar bin a few months back. Really digging it so far. Quote
jcam_44 Posted October 25, 2020 Report Posted October 25, 2020 Picked up the RSD release today along with the Squirrel (haven't spun yet, probably will get to it tomorrow). Mighty fine indeed. Quote

Even that wasn’t on offer at my usual outlet. On the other hand, they did have 2 copies of ‘Stonebone’. Edited October 25, 2020 by sidewinder Quote

I’m not as familiar with his Varitone stuff. Quote

It will be interesting to cross-check against Mosaic’s treatment. Certainly trounces the CD set on the sonic front. Quote

Especially the first tracks with the Dizzy Band at Billie Berg´s ......, but also the stuff from the Finale with Miles......who sounds very much influenced by Dizzy on that..... Quote

Typica of the live recordings of the era is my best description. I had not heard the previous cd release so I can’t compare it to that, but I would say a bit flat sounding dynamically and like they took a mono recording and made it stereo (I’m guessing they did but haven’t researched it) but it is immaculately pressed.

Dan Gould Posted October 27, 2020 Report Posted October 27, 2020 Excellent Cliff Jordan here. Great late 60s session when I don't think Jay was working as much (?). Anyway certainly his timeless style wasn't exacty 'current'. Quote
