Leeway Posted October 16, 2011 Report Posted October 16, 2011 I forgot that Braxton was on this album. Jackie gets so much expression into his horn practically whenever he plays: Quote
BillF Posted October 16, 2011 Report Posted October 16, 2011 I forgot that Braxton was on this album. Jackie gets so much expression into his horn practically whenever he plays: Surely this album belongs in another thread? Quote
Leeway Posted October 16, 2011 Report Posted October 16, 2011 I think it made it into the album covers with punctuation thread, but if your talking "Stitt Becomes Pepper" thread, hell no, I'm not taking it there Quote

paul secor Posted October 18, 2011 Report Posted October 18, 2011 (edited) B.B. King: Live in Japan (MCA Japan) Hadn't listened to this in a long, long while. Listening today, I realized why. Explain y'self! I have the album that was released in Japan way back when. It has seven cuts - I believe that the CD version that was released in the U.S. about twenty years later has twice as many tracks. Half of the LP is comprised of songs that I heard over and over and came to detest in the late 60's -"Hummingbird", "Chains and Things", "The Thrill Is Gone" (Yeah, even that one was done to death for me.) The LP version I have is way too rock oriented for my ears. The sound is nothing great and the band doesn't sound that inspired. And, in general, B.B. means less to me than he once did. That's explanation enough for me. Edited October 18, 2011 by paul secor Quote

Too bad - I'm not familiar with the album, but I've always been curious about it, since it seems to have the only recorded evidence of saxophonist Earl Turbington's tenure with King's band. Does Earl T. at least get a solo or two? Quote
jeffcrom Posted October 18, 2011 Report Posted October 18, 2011 Paying tribute to a talented writer: Pete Rugolo - Reeds in Hi-Fi (Mercury mono). I've liked this one since I found a copy seven or eight years ago. There's some beautiful writing for ten woodwind players - sometimes all ten are on saxophones. Bud Shank gets lots of solo space, and Barney Kessel and Shelly Manne are in the rhythm section. Quote

jeffcrom Posted October 19, 2011 Report Posted October 19, 2011 Bob Scobey - Swingin' on the Golden Gate (RCA Victor mono). This is far from being a great jazz album, and a few of the tracks are so corny that they're downright painful. But I'm on something of a Ralph Sutton kick lately, and am going through various obscure albums Sutton plays on - unfortunately he doesn't get a lot of solo space here. But this album holds a special place in my heart - this is the record from which I learned that great Hoagy Carmichael song "New Orleans." Quote
brownie Posted October 19, 2011 Report Posted October 19, 2011 Hampton Hawes 'For Real' (Contemporary, mono) A favorite Contemporary album! Quote
jeffcrom Posted October 20, 2011 Report Posted October 20, 2011 Edmond Hall with the Ralph Sutton Quartet - At Club Hangover (Storyville). Really excellent 1954 performances. Then Volume 2 of this: Birdland Stars on Tour (RCA Victor mono) Quote
jeffcrom Posted October 20, 2011 Report Posted October 20, 2011 Jazz New Orleans (Savoy); Vol. 1 (1980's reissue) and Vol. 2 (original issue). I'm listening to the Punch Miller tracks from these albums; they've long been among my favorite recordings, and I'm hearing them with fresh ears, given my new-found appreciation of Ralph Sutton.

JohnS Posted October 20, 2011 Report Posted October 20, 2011 (edited) Reading the Gigi Gryce reissue post I had to think twice about whether Reminiscin' was in my collection. Pulled it out for a spin. Orch-tette, an impressive name for a quintet/sextet. Edited October 20, 2011 by JohnS Quote
