The Magnificent Goldberg Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 gene ammons-free again not feeling it! you might be going in the sell pile, gene. i am sorry to say. I seriously urge you to try this one again. In my view, the Bobby Bryant arrangements are much too brittle for Jug BUT his solo on the title track is the most powerful solo I've ever heard him play. charles earland-smokin' more late 70s muse entertainment. i like walter perkins on this kind of stuff. these albums all have interesting casts...schitter, george coleman, perkins, bobby durham, etc....though earland can lean on a chord more than i like every now and then. Don't believe the sleeve. This, and "Mama roots" were recorded in about 1969 for the Choice label. We haven't quite, I think, bottomed out what is what with those originals and the reissues on muse, but here's a thread discussing it. http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...arland&st=0 one could start a library of swinging yet interesting stuff all with $3-$6 muse albums....and then change their name to magnificent goldberg! Yeah, you got a real nice bunch of stuff for me! MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porcy62 Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Just finished Baker/Freeman Studio Recordings, Mosaic. Not the best sounding Mosaic I have. Due to masters condition and digital transfert, I know, but it happened I love the sessions. Any opinions about the original PJ pressings, or later WP reissues, did anybody compared them with Mosaic? Does it might worthing a seach for earlier pressings? No opinions but that particular Mosaic was one of the few of their vinyls on my potential shopping list. Is the sound that bad? It varies a lot from track to track, MC in the liner notes said about the awful condition of master tapes at PJ, they had to get some tracks from old 78 record. To gather all the recordings of this particular quartet, they used a lot of different sources. There is a digital transfer. Overall I presume that this is the best form to have all the output of Baker/Freeman quartet togheter. I was asking myself if some early original pressings of part of this stuff could sound better. Anyway I didn't hear the later CD issues, actually I am not even aware of their existence, so I couldn't really grade the sound of Mosaic. The music is great IMO, so it worths to investigate for you, if you haven't got these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasing the Korean Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 I always thought Freeman is kind of overlooked. He does such interesting things on those recordings with Chet. Nice harmonic and rhythmic approach. I need to find more of his recordings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a few of the early PJ 10" LPs, including PJLP-2, Gerry Mulligan Quartet. From my memory I didn't think the sonics were that spectacular - however you may have more luck on your mono rig. I'll dig it out to check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Carson City Stage' material on 1 side, tracks with Lee Konitz guesting on the otherside. Nice fat DG sound, if a little crackly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MG MG - I find that some of my old LP compilations on Blues Classics, Yazoo, etc. are more enjoyable to listen to than the single artist CDs that are the norm today. Those recordings were originally issued on 78s, and weren't meant to be listened to 20 to 25 tracks at a time. Compilation LPs broke things up and helped to recreate some of that earlier time listening experience.

analogak Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 these albums from dusty groove are in crappy shape! i am now listening to willis jackson "nothin' butt" and this one is fine but previously don patterson "mellow soul' and "satisfaction!" were debacles for VG, as was jimmy mcgriff's "something to comy by". i am angry. i was also rocking to groove holmes "onsaya joy" and that album is awesome. so glad i finally own it. though the condition and price from dusty groove was more than the local record store with poorer condition taboot. also listened to mickey tucker's "triplicity' which was pretty cool. giant steps on organ. and another johnny lytle muse album with a cheesy cover and john patton on keyboards and some nice george duvivier. and by keyboards i do not mean organ but i also do not mean moog. nothing too exciting.

analogak Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 stan turrentine-another story (is he getting a bit heated?) sonny stitt-goin down slow (the first tune on the second side...awesome drum break!) is this george duvivier on bass again? he is the bassist on my favorite "straight" album (eddie davis-the heavy hitter).

This has stuff from all over the place, timewise as well as placewise, and feels a bit jerky to me. Individually the tracks are all great but it just fails as a collection. Final LP tonight Professor Herman Stevens - The poet of the Gospel organ plays your favourite hymns - Savoy orig (Stevens was a big influence on Baby Face Willette and you can sometimes hear it.)

six string Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Archives of Jazz Vol.5 - Duke Jordan (AJ Records) distrib. by ALA Records This is a strange label/cover, but the music is good. The band consists of Jordan on piano, Charlie Rouse on ts, Sonny Cohn on t, Art Taylor on d, and Eddie Kahn on b. Song titles are No Problem #1 No Problem #2 No Problem #3 Jazz Vendor Subway Inn The Feeling of Love #1 The Feeling of Love #2 The liner notes says it's a soundtrack to a film adaptation of Roger Vadim's Les Laisons Dangereuseses. Has anyone heard of this label or this album. Despite the cheezy psychedelic cover and the small label from L.A., the sound and the music are quite good.

I've heard this album, but so long ago I remember little else other than I liked it. "No Problem" is quite a striking line and made a memorable film theme for Liaisons dangereuses" ,which I saw in Paris in 1960! IIRC the soundtrack also inclued "Pannonica" from Monk's Brilliant Corners album. Edited March 1, 2008 by BillF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
