Tony Pusey Posted October 8, 2004 Report Posted October 8, 2004 OK, so my first 2 Mother Earth albums arrived very toot sweet from Wounded Bird. I do not know much of the music in their catalogue, so , is there anything there I should pick up? MJQ? Herbie Mann?Maynard Fergusson? anything else? Quote
Bill B Posted October 8, 2004 Report Posted October 8, 2004 Wounded Bird is offering "MJQ @ The Lighthouse" Quote
Guest akanalog Posted October 8, 2004 Report Posted October 8, 2004 i am going to sell my copy, but i could see someone else liking herbie mann's "stone flute" a lot. it almost does it for me but falls a bit short. it is an interesting album though...very interesting. if you like the hard fusion, check out lenny white's "venusian summer". again, doesn't do it for me really, but it has some good players on it and at least tries to transcend the genre at points.

Guy Berger Posted October 8, 2004 Report Posted October 8, 2004 I really like Jarrett's Birth. Early stuff from the American quartet, unfocused and rambling but a lot of fun. Guy Quote
Claude Posted October 8, 2004 Report Posted October 8, 2004 MJQ & Jimmy Giuffre "Third stream music" is the only CD I have from this label, and it is a great one. Good sound too. Quote

I do not know much of the music in their catalogue, so , is there anything there I should pick up? MJQ? Herbie Mann?Maynard Fergusson? anything else? Avoid the Maynard Ferguson stuff like the plague. It's from his mid 70's/early 80's commercial/disco/pop phase on Columbia (post Live at Jimmy's). Bad. Quote
PHILLYQ Posted October 8, 2004 Report Posted October 8, 2004 If you like Billy Cobham, I think they may have 'Spectrum' & 'Crosswinds". Spectrum is more into the fusion bag, and Crosswinds leans more to the straight-up side. Quote
Guest akanalog Posted October 9, 2004 Report Posted October 9, 2004 bad mastering on "crosswinds". one song, "heather" i think, is much lower than the others. i think the original might be likes this though-on the vinyl, i mean. good album though. Quote
GA Russell Posted October 9, 2004 Report Posted October 9, 2004 Herbie Mann's Monday at the Village Gate with Dave Pike and Chick Corea is a nice album. Quote
Tony Pusey Posted October 9, 2004 Author Report Posted October 9, 2004 Thanks for all these initial suggestions. I am at work a lot these next few days, so I will collate these results in a few days and see where my next wages of wage slavery will be going to! Quote
DMP Posted October 9, 2004 Report Posted October 9, 2004 The original Herbie Mann at Newport (it's the one that opens with "Soft Winds") is on "Wounded Bird" and it's excellent - Don Friedman, Dave Pike, Atilla Zollar. I just picked up Jaco Pastorious's "Invitation," which is pretty much a mish-mash of styles which might not be to your taste. Quote
ghost of miles Posted January 25, 2015 Report Posted January 25, 2015 For those with an interest in Herbie Hancock's trio acoustic albums w/Ron Carter and Tony Williams from 1977 and 1982--and who don't want to shell out for the 40-cd Complete Columbia box-set--those two titles have been reissued in the past year by Wounded Bird: http://www.woundedbird.com/hancock_herbie/650.htm http://www.woundedbird.com/hancock_herbie/2190.htm Quote
mikeweil Posted January 25, 2015 Report Posted January 25, 2015 Wounded Bird is offering "MJQ @ The Lighthouse" That's a nice one, it was on CD before, but is still rare. I'm waiting for them to reissue 'Blues At Carnegie Hall' .... Quote

I'm waiting for them to reissue 'Blues At Carnegie Hall' .... Me, too. That was a double butcher job by Collectables where they coupled it with the much more common and totally unrelated Art Blakey Atlantic album, and deleted material from the otherwise unavailable MJQ set to make it all fit on one CD.

Blues at Carnegie Hall was issued whole by Rhine/Atlantic on an "Original Master Recording" disc. Spendy, but nice sound. gregmo Quote
gmonahan Posted January 26, 2015 Report Posted January 26, 2015 Spendy indeed .... Yeah, I had it on my Amazon wish list for quite a while before a copy suddenly showed up at a somewhat affordable price! gregmo Quote

Gheorghe Posted January 28, 2015 Report Posted January 28, 2015 Maybe I also have two or three CDs from that label ? Is it possible there was a lot of OOP material from CBS Lps from the late 70, ? I got Dexter´s "Great Encounters" on that label, and is it possible, that the huge 1977 Montreux All-Star-Band Vol. I and II is also a Wounded Bird production ? It´s more than 3 hours music, with some of the greatest musicians from bop to jazzrock, like Maynard Ferguson, Woody Shaw, Slide Hampton, James Moody, Hubert Laws, Dexter Gordon, Stan Getz, Benny Golson, Bob James, George Duke, Billy Cobham.....

AmirBagachelles Posted January 28, 2015 Report Posted January 28, 2015 They re-issued some very good no-commercial-potential Don Ellis records, and for that I am down with Wounded Bird. Quote
