blajay Posted September 20, 2008 Report Posted September 20, 2008 Max Roach Plus 4, Discs 2 and 3 I'm interested in learning more about pianist Billy Wallace. Anybody? He does some nice comping and sort of Cedar Walton type percussion stacatto runs on the keyboard featured at the end of Disc 1 and beginning of Disc 2 in this set. I know he's on the Brown/Roach at the Beehive, which I love for its explosive jamming, but most of what I've found audible on my LP of that set is the drums and trumpet. According to the Penguin Guide, he also plays on "Fantastic Frank Strozier" (Vee Jay), but I don't have that one. Quote

montg Posted September 21, 2008 Report Posted September 21, 2008 Disc 1 of my new Horace Parlan set. Its really nice! ....and it keeps getting better, I really like the Booker Ervin sessions at the end. Right now, I'm listening to Blue Mitchell, disc IV Quote

If you use the search function & use keywords +billy +wallace, you'll find a fair amount of information/comments on Mr. Wallace. Quote

This satisfies me: Billy Wallace NP: Hank Mobley Fifties Sessions Disc 1--classic Quote
sal Posted September 21, 2008 Report Posted September 21, 2008 Got through disc 2 of the Parlan set. The trio sides were very enjoyable.....I had never heard them before. On to the horns! Quote
king ubu Posted September 27, 2008 Report Posted September 27, 2008 The Buck Clayton box - from LP1 side a on... just about wrapping up "Christopher Columbus" - holy smokes, this stuff swings like mad! (<< Jo Jones!!!) Beautiful solos by Lem Davis, Julian Dash (that fellow is good!), the trumpet players (Joe Newman, next to Buck), and lots of smokin' trombone, courtesy of Bennie Green, Henderson Chambers, and Urbie Green... then there's Sir Charles Thompson, and then quite a surprise each time I pop in some of these LPs, Charlie Fowlkes' baritone - beautiful sound, and quite lovely solos, provided he was just a section player during all the years he spent with the Count!

blajay Posted September 29, 2008 Report Posted September 29, 2008 Stuff Smith--an underrated set Quote

blajay Posted October 3, 2008 Report Posted October 3, 2008 Been going through Discs 1-5 of Classic Capitol Jazz Sessions tonight... Quote
Ken Dryden Posted October 5, 2008 Report Posted October 5, 2008 Discs 1-3, so far, of the new Oscar Peterson set. Quote
sidewinder Posted October 8, 2008 Report Posted October 8, 2008 Art Hodes Blue Note LP set, LP1. Schmokin' ! Quote
jazzbo Posted October 8, 2008 Report Posted October 8, 2008 The Marty Grosz Mosaic. No, wait a minute, it just seems like a Mosaic set because I have about six discs in front of me. That Hodes set (I have the cd set) is fantastic! Quote
sidewinder Posted October 9, 2008 Report Posted October 9, 2008 That Hodes set (I have the cd set) is fantastic! Yep - a winner from the first note. I don't have any of this material so it is a bit of a revelation. 'Hot Jazz On Blue Note' for sure. Sound is pretty good too ! Quote
Ron S Posted October 9, 2008 Report Posted October 9, 2008 Beiderbecke, Trumbauer, and Teagarden--discs 3 & 4 Quote
tranemonk Posted October 10, 2008 Report Posted October 10, 2008 Elvin Jones Disc 3... (digital) I have to say... over time I think has become my favorite Mosaic.... :excited: Quote

I don't have any of this material so it is a bit of a revelation. 'Hot Jazz On Blue Note' for sure. Sound is pretty good too ! I've been reading Selections from the Gutter: Portraits from the Jazz Record, edited by Art Hodes and Chadwick Hansen. This makes an excellent accompaniment to the Hodes Mosaic. His stories of early Chicago scene are priceless, and his straightforward prose makes it all the more vivid. Quote
jazzbo Posted October 10, 2008 Report Posted October 10, 2008 Great book Zanones, isn't it? I have this too, and the only book I have like it is Eddie Condon's "Scrapbook." Quote
blajay Posted October 10, 2008 Report Posted October 10, 2008 (edited) Great book Zanones, isn't it? I have this too, and the only book I have like it is Eddie Condon's "Scrapbook." It is! My favorite line in the section "Making a Record": Say, has anyone ever told you what it feels like, making a record? Sometimes I wonder how anyone can make a good record. In the first place, records are almost always made at the worst possible hour for the musician. For example, 'Liberty Inn Drag' was recorded at a 9 a.m. session. I don't have to tell any of you who have seen us in action what a musician feels like that early in the middle of the night. [my emphasis] Great coverage of little known heroes of boogie woogie like Cow Cow Davenport and Montana Taylor. It is kind of like a predecessor to Art Taylor's Notes and Tones because of the raw musician's perspective, but without the overly-structured interviews and obviously subjective agenda. I should check out the Condon book. -Jay Edited October 10, 2008 by zanonesdelpueblo Quote

king ubu Posted October 11, 2008 Report Posted October 11, 2008 last night: disc 2 & disc 3 of the Gerald Wilson - big - Teddy Edwards saves many of the pop tunes on the first album on disc 3! Quote
king ubu Posted October 12, 2008 Report Posted October 12, 2008 Finished the Wilson - excellet set! The second pop album is pretty weak though... not much there to enjoy, quite unlike Teddy Edwards on the first one. Quote
jazzbo Posted October 12, 2008 Report Posted October 12, 2008 That's pretty much how I hear it too. This morning: Joe Pass, disc 5 Quote
