JohnS Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Always thought that this was a rather odd cover picture. Another thought, both this and Pepper and Knepper have unexpected organ playing. An organ in the studio perhaps or a producers quirk.

paul secor Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 (edited) Maybe you all can help with this mystery: Prestige 7318 blue label--PRLP 7318 (AorB respectively) and Van Gelder in wax on both sides....but....side B is a different record! It's instrumental blues--a jump blues/jazz guitarist and tenor player along with a trombone and bass/drums. I guess it's a weird pressing error. Thoughts? My copy of Ervin's Song Book is ok. The first thing that sprang to mind is that somehow Tiny Grimes' Callin' the Blues got pressed on the other side of yours.

jeffcrom Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Did Prestige go out of their way to confuse us? I'm listening to an LP I picked up today: Gene Ammons - The Twister (Prestige 7176 blue label mono). The Twister was a reissue of Jammin' in Hi-Fi With Gene Ammons, and my copy seems to be a mid-60's pressing. But I can't find a single picture online of my cover. The first Twister cover was a very plain yellow-and-red text-only design. Mine has a picture of Gene playing his tenor which takes up most of the cover; his name and "The Twister" are in a groovy '60's typeface at the top. While searching the tubes of the internet, I found that the conventional wisdom on another forum is that none of the Prestige issues after the yellow-and-black label era sound any good. My copy is near mint, with Mr. Van Gelder's stamp in the dead wax, and it sounds wonderful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The couple I've heard sounded quite good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked it up online and it's great stuff, but that's not it. There is piano on it too...hmmmmm..... Definitely something similar though. Prestige really was trying to confuse us!

jeffcrom Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Andre Hodeir - Jazz et Jazz (Philips mono). I knew I was going to have to play some Hodeir tonight, and I picked this one. I had forgotten how brilliant this album is - serious music that makes me laugh out loud. I have a score of "Osymetrios," published by MJQ Music, and the recording is even more amazing when following along with the page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michel1969 Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Ted Brown -All about Ronnie - Savoy. Nice. Been trying to score a clean US Savoy pressing of this for years. Never even heard of that one. Good to know there's more Ted Brown around. apologies as this is lead by Ronnie Ball not Ted Brown. Both of them get a very fine showing of course. My copy is US Savoy - original ( I think ) in very nice condition which I purchased a few months ago. Fine session. To be completed with Freewheelin by Ted Brown with Art Pepper.

jeffcrom Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Right now, a recent find: a 10" LP on the Jump label, by the trio of Eddie Miller, Stanley Wrightsman and George Van Eps. I have some of these performances on 78, as well as some 78 sides that aren't included on this album. The liner notes indicate that some of these tracks are different takes from the 78 issues, so I'm looking forward to doing some comparisons to see just what I have. I couldn't find a picture of the LP online, but here's one of the 78s: I know you've all been waiting with bated breath on the results of my listening. I'm happy to report that all of the titles from this album which I also have on 78 are different takes. Jeffery is happy, and is burning a CD with all of it.

paul secor Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 Louis Jordan: Rockin' & Jivin' 1956/57 (Mercury/Bear Family) Mostly remakes of his 1940's hits, but very well done with a group of session musicians including Budd Johnson, Ernie Royal, Jimmy Cleveland, Ernie Hayes, Wendell Marshall, Charlie Persip, Mickey Baker, and Sam "The Man" Taylor.

jeffcrom Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 (edited) Before bed, some 45 RPM singles and EPs: Shorty Rogers and His Giants - The Goof and I/My Little Suede Shoes/Joycycle/The Lady is a Tramp (RCA Victor). The complete September 19, 1954 session, with Jimmy Giuffre, Pete Jolly, Curtis Counce and Shelly Manne. Papa Bue's Viking Jazz Band - Schlafe Mein Prinzchen/Wieganlied (Storyville). Mozart and Brahms by the Great Danes. Papa Bue's Viking Jazz Band - On a Little Bamboo Bridge/Lazy River (Storyville). I really like the clarinet of Jorgen Svare on this and the last one. George Lewis and Papa Bue's Viking Jazz Band - Silver Threads Among the Gold/Isle of Capri/The Old Spinning Wheel/If I Ever Cease to Love (Storyville). I really enjoyed all these Viking Jazz Band records - RIP, Papa Bue. Benny Carter - Lullaby in Blue/Cruisin' (RCA Victor). From a 1952 session; Ernie Royal and Milt Bernhardt are the other soloists. Chico Hamilton - Cawn Pawn/Truth/Opening/Lady "E" (Sesac). Some great early Eric Dolphy here. Dr. Feelgood and the Interns (Piano Red) - Right String But Wrong Yo-Yo/What's Up, Doc (Okeh). Some fabulous Atlanta R & B to end the evening with. The amazing Beverly "Guitar" Watkins is on this one; 50 years later, she's still playing around Atlanta.
