Joe Posted October 4, 2004 Report Posted October 4, 2004 (edited) AFAIK, THE COOL WORLD soundtrack is still available on CD. Worth picking up. Three OJCs that I think fit the mode of the original request... Gil Melle, GIL'S GUESTS (which include Art Farmer, Kenny Dorham, Julius Watkins, and Hal McKusick) Duane Tatro, JAZZ FOR MODERNS (includes the original "version" of "Maybe Next Year", one of the stand-out tracks from Art Pepper's SMACK-UP LP) Oliver Nelson, NOCTURNE Edited October 4, 2004 by Joe Quote
king ubu Posted October 4, 2004 Report Posted October 4, 2004 Couldn't find a bigger picture, but this is certainly one of the most "off the beaten path" albums I ever heard: Quote
king ubu Posted October 4, 2004 Report Posted October 4, 2004 I love the Schifrin Sade disc a lot! Paid quite some, but for me it was worth it! Mellé's recordings for Blue Note certainly qualify! I love the first of his ten inchers! Some of those sounds come directly from Mars it seems... Quote
sidewinder Posted October 4, 2004 Report Posted October 4, 2004 what about some of the attempts to put Johnny Griffin in a different setting? ya' know, ya' know-- (i can't remember.) ____ clem 'The Kerry Dancers' on Riverside would definitely qualify. Conventional quartet lineup with Barry Harris on piano but the tune selections are mainly from Ireland and the rest of the British Isles. This is a session that has been really growing on me the last few weeks and a goo one to spin on St Paddy's Day too.. Quote
ejp626 Posted October 4, 2004 Report Posted October 4, 2004 I will have to look for that "Vintage Dolphy" disc! Difficult to find? ubu New might be a problem, but there should be a number of used copies floating about. These are from amazon.fr: Amazon.fr search Quote

David Ayers Posted October 5, 2004 Report Posted October 5, 2004 Gunter Schuller's label GM Records I followed the link then clicked to the home page. It told me 'You are visitor number 1 to this page'. Man, sure is quiet in here. Quote
sidewinder Posted October 5, 2004 Report Posted October 5, 2004 (edited) Couldn't find a bigger picture, but this is certainly one of the most "off the beaten path" albums I ever heard: Big thumbs up for this one. . Probably my favourite Gil Melle, along with the early Blue Note recordings. Very nicely mastered on the vinyl by Verve too. Edited October 5, 2004 by sidewinder Quote

I thought someone was a Dolphy specialist of sorts It is availabel for $10 directly from Gunter Schuller's label GM Records That doesn't necessarily mean that someone has to have all that was released by Dolphy, yes? I'm a fan, not a specialist My "Tome VI" is pretty beat up, so I can't say anything about the sound. I'm visitor no. 1 too, by the way. ubu Quote
sidewinder Posted October 5, 2004 Report Posted October 5, 2004 Just listening to one which definitely fits into this category. Buddy DeFranco 'Blues Bag' (this is a UK 60s vinyl on Joy, taken from the original VeeJay). Blakey is laying down the same sort of groove as on 'Indestructible' and 'Free For All' with DeFranco playing some really cool stuff on bass clarinet. Also some typical excellent solo work from Lee Morgan, Curtis Fuller and Victor Sproles on some of the tracks. An excellent session, which far exceeds expectations from the stylistic mix. Quote
cannonball-addict Posted October 8, 2004 Report Posted October 8, 2004 Arnett Cobb - Smooth Sailing nothing strange about instrumentation, but a record that cooks yet no one ever talks about Quote
