sheldonm Posted July 13, 2004 Report Posted July 13, 2004 I'm looking for a complete, up-to-date list of Rare Groove's that have been released. I have done a search but didn't find it. I know I've seen it but it appears to be too elusive for a guy with my limited computer skills! Thanks, Mark Quote

sheldonm Posted July 14, 2004 Author Report Posted July 14, 2004 Thanks for the help, always appreciated! Mark Quote
Spontooneous Posted July 14, 2004 Report Posted July 14, 2004 More thanks here. But I'll never understand why there aren't more albums with the word "Freap" in the title. Quote
connoisseur series500 Posted July 14, 2004 Report Posted July 14, 2004 Let's continue the thread. Name your favorite five. Mine are: Duke Pearson, "Right Touch" John Patton, "Got a Good thing Goin" John Patton, "Let em Roll" John Patton, "Memphis to NY Spirit" Reuben Wilson, "Love Bug" Honorable mention to Duke Pearson, "Sweet Honey Bee," John Patton, "Boogaloo," and "Accent on the Blues," and Lonnie Smith, "Move Your Hand," along with the two Turrentines and several of the Lou Donaldsons. (Man, it's tough to choose...) Quote
vibes Posted July 14, 2004 Report Posted July 14, 2004 Brother Jack McDuff - Moon Rappin' This has to be one of the most pleasant surprises I've purchased in the last five years. I only wish I could find other albums like it. Quote
connoisseur series500 Posted July 14, 2004 Report Posted July 14, 2004 Damn! Blue Mitchell, "Down With It" Grant Green, "Carryin' On" Jack McDuff, "Down Home style" are all good too! Nevertheless, I stick with my top five... Quote
connoisseur series500 Posted July 14, 2004 Report Posted July 14, 2004 Brother Jack McDuff - Moon Rappin' This has to be one of the most pleasant surprises I've purchased in the last five years. I only wish I could find other albums like it. ...and I don't have that one! Got a lot of Jack McDuff too, but not that one... Quote
vibes Posted July 14, 2004 Report Posted July 14, 2004 Get it while you can. This thing grooves, and has a really cool, spacey vibe to it. I've got a couple of his Prestige albums, and they're nothing like "Moon Rappin'." Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted July 14, 2004 Report Posted July 14, 2004 My top-5 favorite Rare Grooves are... JOHN PATTON-BOOGALOO (my all-time favorite Patton album) JOHN PATTON-UNDERSTANDING (a close 2nd) JOHN PATTON-ACCENT ON THE BLUES JOHN PATTON-MEMPHIS TO NEW YORK SPIRIT EDDIE HENDERSON-SUNBURST Quote
connoisseur series500 Posted July 14, 2004 Report Posted July 14, 2004 EDDIE HENDERSON-SUNBURST Hmm, another one I don't have! Quote
Noj Posted July 14, 2004 Report Posted July 14, 2004 I don't have them all, but of the ones I do have these 5 are my favorites: Donald Byrd - Kofi Grant Green - Alive Lou Donaldson - Good Gracious Brother Jack McDuff - Moon Rappin' Lonnie Smith - Live At The Club Mozambique I need to find a bunch of the Pattons and the Donaldsons, and that Turrentine, and The Right Touch, and...

LarryCurleyMoe Posted July 15, 2004 Report Posted July 15, 2004 I was thinking just the other day about the rare groove series - popped on the Various Artists "Blue Note Rare Grooves" and JAMMED! Damn is this a great release!!- alternate or previously unreleased Grant Green, Turrentine, Dr. Lonnie, AND FUNKY LOU! I was blown away by Claude Bartee's tenor work on the Green tracks - and and by the solid funikification of the beat by the rock solid IDRIS MUHAMMAD! WOW~! Some of these are just cuts that "wouldn't fit" on the original LP they were associated with...others- LIKE THE SUPER-FUNKY Lou Donaldson "Scorpion" were just alternate takes - but HEAVY JAMS nonetheless!!! This is probably out of print, but try to find it if you dig the funk! For a SUPER-GREEEZY fix- the "Blue Note Rare Grooves" compilation does it fer me!!!!!! Ain't it about time for another batch of RARE GROOVES???? Quote
Eric Posted July 15, 2004 Report Posted July 15, 2004 Brother Jack McDuff - Moon Rappin' This has to be one of the most pleasant surprises I've purchased in the last five years. I only wish I could find other albums like it. That is a great one - I had the TOCJ for years - it really is unique, but in a very good way. My top five: Donald Byrd - Kofi Donald Byrd - Fancy Free Moon Rappin' Lou Donaldson - Mr. Shing-a-Ling All of the Pattons Quote
marcoliv Posted July 15, 2004 Report Posted July 15, 2004 so far, my favorites are (i´m still missing 15 titles) Donald Byrd - Kofi Duke Pearson - The Right Touch Ronnie Foster - Two-Headed Freap John Patton - Understanding Lou Donaldson - The Scorpion MCO Quote
TomNYC Posted July 15, 2004 Report Posted July 15, 2004 I'm biased towards Hutcherson, but I think: BOBBY HUTCHERSON-SAN FRANCISCO is among the top albums on the list. Quote
Peter Johnson Posted July 15, 2004 Report Posted July 15, 2004 Count me in as a Moon' Rappin' junkie. I had not even heard of the album, but picked it up at the store because the lineup just looked greassssssy. DAMN, I love this side. One of my top 25 records fo sho'... Quote
RDK Posted July 15, 2004 Report Posted July 15, 2004 Just found a copy of Duke Pearson's "The Right Touch" last week. The first time I've ever seen a copy... Quote
RDK Posted July 15, 2004 Report Posted July 15, 2004 "Two-Headed Freep" may be my favorite Rare Groove. Man, is that a greeezy disc! Quote
BruceH Posted July 20, 2004 Report Posted July 20, 2004 Blue Mitchell---Down With It (five times) B) Quote
