Tony Pusey Posted September 21, 2004 Report Posted September 21, 2004 (edited) Well, today the new incarnation of the Time catalogue arrived via Hiroshi. This is the first time I have been exposed to this music, have been lusting after the Sonny Clark, Bennìe Green and Booker Little in particular. They sound fine, Scott La Faro on Booker is great! What do other posters think about this music? Edited September 21, 2004 by Tony Pusey Quote
Tom in RI Posted September 21, 2004 Report Posted September 21, 2004 The Booker Little lp on Time has been my favorite Booker Little date for a long time. Part of the reason is that I have this on original vinyl, although I have picked up a cd copy. I don't usually go for trumpet led 4tet dates but this one is special to me. Quote
jazzbo Posted September 21, 2004 Report Posted September 21, 2004 Some really good sessions. I like the Bennie Green and the Tommy Turrentine a lot. The Sonny Clark is one of his best sessions. . . period. And the Little is . . .timeless! Quote
Claude Posted September 21, 2004 Report Posted September 21, 2004 The Booker Little date is my favourite session from the trumpeter's career, and from this label. The other sessions are more mainstream. Unfortunately all CD versions of the Booker Littel date have been dubbed from LP, so the tapes seem to be missing. The Sonny Clark and Stanley Turrentine had been released on hybrid SACDs, which are now OOP but can still be found with some luck. The remastering is outstanding. Quote

Posted September 21, 2004 Report Posted September 21, 2004 (edited) The Sonny Clark and Stanley Turrentine had been released on hybrid SACDs, which are now OOP but can still be found with some luck. The remastering is outstanding. I've never seen an SACD of Stanley Turrentine's Time album. I do, however, have the SACD of Tommy Turrentine's Time album. Aren't you mistaking one for the other?

J.A.W. Posted September 21, 2004 Report Posted September 21, 2004 Both the Sonny Clark and Tommy Turrentine hybrid Audio Fidelity SACDs of their Time albums are still available from CDConnection at very attractive prices. Grab 'em while you can! Quote
dova Posted March 8, 2005 Report Posted March 8, 2005 J.A.W. Thanks for the tip, ordered it from cd connection, $14.50 + $2.49 shipping.Got it before they are gone........... dova Quote
BbM7 Posted March 8, 2005 Report Posted March 8, 2005 The Sonny Clark Trio is one of my favorites. My taste, however, is questionable. Quote
bertrand Posted March 8, 2005 Report Posted March 8, 2005 Nothing questionable here. Sonny Clark Trio on Time is one of the most wonderful piano trio records ever. Life doesn't get much better than this. Bertrand. Quote

Claude must have mixed up Stanley and Tommy Turrentine - only the Tommy was on SACD. I too got them from CD Connection - highly recommended. Do these Japanese CDs include the bonus material? And does the Booker Little sound like it was dubbed from LP? Fresh Sound also has Time reissues - has anyone heard them or even compared the sound? Quote
Brad Posted March 9, 2005 Report Posted March 9, 2005 All of these Time reissues are fantastic. All worth picking up. Faves are the Little and Bennie Green, plus the Turrentine. Heck, I like 'em all. Quote
connoisseur series500 Posted March 9, 2005 Report Posted March 9, 2005 The Sonny Clark Trio is one of my favorites. My taste, however, is questionable. Quote
Tony Pusey Posted March 9, 2005 Author Report Posted March 9, 2005 OK, I have some of the recent Japanese issues in front of me. Sonny Clark includes Nica, Blues blue, Junka and Sonia as alternate takes Max Roach includes Milano, Old folks and Gandolfos Bounce as alternate takes Tommy Turrentine no alternates Stan Turrentine, no alternates Kenny Dorham Jazz Contemporary has A waltz, Monks Mood and This love of mine as alternates Booker Little no alternates ( I will listen to this again tomorrow nd try to hear if its a needle drop) Cant find Dorhams Showboat so no info today about alternates. Hope this helps. Quote
AmirBagachelles Posted March 9, 2005 Report Posted March 9, 2005 Booker Little s/t CD from Japan does not sound like vinyl to my ears, but instead carries a modest amount of tape gen noise. Great record! Quote
bertrand Posted March 9, 2005 Report Posted March 9, 2005 (edited) Tony, Your Kenny Dorham may also include the track 'Sign Off', which is a bonus cut but NOT an alternate. Does your CD list the personnel on all tracks? I can't find any discographies that mention 'Sign Off' and the alternates, and it's not clear which of the two days they were recorded on (it's a different bass player, depending). If I read you correctly, the Sonny Clark does not have the alternate of 'Minor Meeting' which was available on a previous incarnation of the CD (but not on itunes, where I bought all my Time bonus tracks). Bertrand. Edited March 9, 2005 by bertrand Quote
Brandon Burke Posted March 9, 2005 Report Posted March 9, 2005 What about the classical stuff? I love those records.... Quote
couw Posted March 9, 2005 Report Posted March 9, 2005 (edited) or stoopid music? pretty dandy stuff there as well. this one features the trumpet quoting Coltrane's Impressions on a nice horse ride rendition of Pavanne Edited March 9, 2005 by couw Quote
Michael Fitzgerald Posted March 9, 2005 Report Posted March 9, 2005 I hope you know that it is exactly opposite - the 1938 Pavanne is the source for that Impressions melody. I was just enjoying the Ahmad Jamal version of the Pavanne the other day. Mike Quote
couw Posted March 10, 2005 Report Posted March 10, 2005 I hope you know that it is exactly opposite Quote
king ubu Posted March 10, 2005 Report Posted March 10, 2005 Oh my, oh my... if it hasn't been common knowledge by now that Bean ripped off Brötzlmeistr big time... Hey ! Shouldnt all talk of the noisy one be restricted to the humorous rodent thread ? Hey you moldy fig! Didn't you know that Brötzelmeister has been accepted as an old-fashioned mainstream jazz musician thirty years ago? Even this Hawkins guy stole a lot of Brötzmann tricks! Don't go all girlie about this now, pu-lleaze! Quote
Tony Pusey Posted March 10, 2005 Author Report Posted March 10, 2005 Bertrand , you are correct on both counts!The Kenny Dorham does include the bonus Sign Off, and the Sonny Clark does not include the alternate of Minor Meeting! Quote
bertrand Posted March 10, 2005 Report Posted March 10, 2005 Thanks, Tony. Do they give a recording date for 'Sign Off' (and the other Dorham alternates)? Bertrand. Quote
Claude Posted March 10, 2005 Report Posted March 10, 2005 The Sonny Clark and Stanley Turrentine had been released on hybrid SACDs, which are now OOP but can still be found with some luck. The remastering is outstanding. I've never seen an SACD of Stanley Turrentine's Time album. I do, however, have the SACD of Tommy Turrentine's Time album. Aren't you mistaking one for the other? Time to correct my error 6 months later Yes, I meant the Tommy Turrentine album. Kenny Dorham "Showboat" had also been announced for realese on Audio Fidelity hybrid SACD, but it never materialized. Quote
Tony Pusey Posted March 11, 2005 Author Report Posted March 11, 2005 Bertrand, no the album merely lists recording dates as february 11 and 12 1960. No indication of which sides were recorded on each of these 2 days. I have found my copy of Showboat and as expected there are no alternates Quote
