[Notice how in the above 3 posts, the Southwest and West Coast boys like the East Coast labels, and the East Coast boy likes the West Coast label.]

[Dan Gould]

Argo.

Go figure that one out. East coast boy likes Chicago label.

B-) Well, I was thinking in terms of other labels under the Concord umbrella ( the "Concord umbrella"... did I just say that?), and you had already said Contemporary. But like Lon, there's a LOT o' labels I dig, west and east.

... but everybody knows BN is better than Prestige.

I really meant to say Jazz Oracle, Canadian!

Ogun

[BbM7]

Crown.

Nippon Columbia.

Oh, that reminds me... "north and south" too. In the south, we can't forget about Odeon, Elenco, Philips, RGE, Lumiar, etc etc B-)

[Ron S]

Looks like Jazz Kat gets no respect. We've totally trashed the premise of his thread.

[Jazz Kat]

Argo.

.

They didn't put out that many "classics", but some cool obscure albums came from Argo. Ahmad Jamal's At The Pershing was probaly their most famous and successful release. NOt including the three boys from Chicago, The Ramsey Lewis Trio. I love Argo!

[Brad]

I think his thread got trashed because the music from both labels has been great. There have been some threads about why BN was better but Chris who worked for Prestige has thrown water on it. There was great music coming out from everywhere and I probably have almost as much of the Fantasy labels (Prestige, Riverside, Contemporary, New Jazz) as I do of Blue Note.

[Jazz Kat]

Yes, all the big companies had great music, BN, Prestige, Argo/Cadet, Riverside, Contemporary, Fantasy, Verve etc. but the poll was which one do you like better. Just supposed to be fun.

You might be able to have some fun with the question if you rework it a bit; for example: You have just won the Grand Prize, your choice of the entire catalog of CDs issued by Blue Note or Prestige. You must choose one; which would it be?

An Inside-the-Beltway question, if ever I've heard one.

Does not make it any easier for me.

Did the Nessa label get a nod yet? B-)

Good idea. From now on, just take it that way.

Okay, so I voted.

It looks like BN is running away with it.

What else comes with the grand prize?
