Sundog Posted January 29, 2005 Report Posted January 29, 2005 It seems like these two instruments have the potential to sound very good together. To be honest I can't remember ever hearing the combination. I'm sure it's been done. As a matter of fact I probably have some examples in my collection. Unfortunately I can seem to locate any. Favorites? Quote
mailman Posted January 29, 2005 Report Posted January 29, 2005 Grant Green-Street Of Dreams Grant Green-Guitar Larry Young-Organ Bobby Hutcherson-Vibes Elvin Jones-Drums This is a tremendous recording. Walk don't run. Quote
bertrand Posted January 29, 2005 Report Posted January 29, 2005 Big John Patton's Let 'Em Roll (with Green, Hutch and Otis Finch) is the other 'classic' with this instrumental combination that leaps to mind. I suspect Joe Locke must have done something along those lines - I know how he did a gig at Blues Alley with Larry Goldings that I stupidly skipped, and we discussed later how rare that combination is.

Walk don't run. Sure pick one of the few Grant Green recordings I don't have. B-) Sad but true. Quote
Soul Stream Posted January 29, 2005 Report Posted January 29, 2005 Jack McDuff..."Tough Duff"...great album with Lem Winchester on vibes. No guitar so it's a very clear sound of the two. Quote
.:.impossible Posted January 30, 2005 Report Posted January 30, 2005 I'll have to check out Tough Duff! I'd love to hear Goldings with a vibist. The other two albums are the only ones that I own. Of the two, I actually prefer Street of Dreams. All semi-obscure standards (at least to me) played fairly loosely with a less typical organ guitar approach. The Big John Patton album is good as well, but more characteristic of an organ guitar trio. Other recommendations? Quote
couw Posted January 30, 2005 Report Posted January 30, 2005 the Wild Bill Davis Americans Swinging in Paris disk features Danny Doriz on vibes. http://www.capitolmusic.de/xml/1/3251725/5396652.html Earl Bostic recorded some nice stuff with Roland Johnson on vibes and Bill Doggett on organ. Grant Green - Alive (BN) features the combination. And there are three tracks on the Billy Mitchell Verve LPR as well. Quote
king ubu Posted January 30, 2005 Report Posted January 30, 2005 Johnny Lytle? Yup! I think this one's a minor classic and should be bought before OJCs... Milt Harris is on organ, by the way. This greazy later disc includes an organist as well, if I remember right: Quote

mailman Posted January 30, 2005 Report Posted January 30, 2005 Shirley Scott-Soul Sister Shirley Scott-Organ Lem Winchester-Vibes George Duvivier-Bass Arthur Edgehill-Drums This was Prestige LP 7392. It is available today on CD paired with Travelin' Light PRCD-24233. This one features Kenny Burrell on Guitar but no vibes. Quote
Sundog Posted January 30, 2005 Author Report Posted January 30, 2005 Thanks to everyone who has responded so far. Apparently not a combination that happens very often. Quote
Harold_Z Posted January 30, 2005 Report Posted January 30, 2005 Look Out by Johnny Hammond Smith is another good one. Johnny Hammond is joined by vibist Clement Wells. Quote
connoisseur series500 Posted January 30, 2005 Report Posted January 30, 2005 Grant Green-Street Of Dreams Grant Green-Guitar Larry Young-Organ Bobby Hutcherson-Vibes Elvin Jones-Drums This is a tremendous recording. Walk don't run. That's the first one to pop into my mind as well. This one is a classic! Quote
mikeweil Posted January 30, 2005 Report Posted January 30, 2005 No, Joe hasn't done a organ/vibes record. Not quite correct - he guested on the new CD "Shifting Times" by Paradigm Shift - which is an organ trio - on nagel heyer records. Quote
mikeweil Posted January 30, 2005 Report Posted January 30, 2005 Isn' there a Johnny Hammond with Lem Winchester as well? Quote
marcello Posted January 30, 2005 Report Posted January 30, 2005 Well Mike, as you know, that recording dosn't feature Joe Locke on all tracts, so I didn't mention it. Joe Has recorded with Dr. Smith, but not a whole cd and not when Lonnie was the leader. Hell, let's those people at Palmetto a email and make the suggestion! Palmetto Records Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted January 30, 2005 Report Posted January 30, 2005 I've always wanted to do an organ/vibes record but there are no good vibe players in the area. Scratch that... there's a cat in Ann Arbor that's very good. Damn. Now I have no excuse! Quote
7/4 Posted January 30, 2005 Report Posted January 30, 2005 I've always wanted to do an organ/vibes record but there are no good vibe players in the area. Scratch that... there's a cat in Ann Arbor that's very good. Damn. Now I have no excuse! I hope you find time for a side project...or at least another guest on a future recording. Quote
mikeweil Posted January 30, 2005 Report Posted January 30, 2005 Joe Has recorded with Dr. Smith, but not a whole cd and not when Lonnie was the leader. What CD is it that Joe and the Turbanator are on? Quote
mikeweil Posted January 30, 2005 Report Posted January 30, 2005 (edited) Isn' there a Johnny Hammond with Lem Winchester as well? Winchester did more than one session with organists:Shirley Scott, Soul Sister (available on Prestige PRCD-24233-2 "Legends of Acid Jazz: Soul Sister")Oliver Nelson, Takin' Care of Business (available on Original Jazz Classics OJCCD-1784-2)Johnny "Hammond" Smith, Gettin' The Message (available on "Talk That Talk" Prestige PRCD-24151-2)Jack McDuff, Tough Duff (Original Jazz Classics OJCCD-324-2) Edited January 30, 2005 by mikeweil Quote

I forgot about The Village Caller. I have that too, but I haven't listened to it much. Maybe I'll throw that in next. Edited January 31, 2005 by .:.impossible Quote

What CD is it that Joe and the Turbanator are on? Here it is, Mike, from The Hiram Bullock website: Hiram Bullock Late Night Talk (1997) My jazz album, definitely a mellower sound. Features Dr. Lonnie Smith on organ, Idris Muhammad on drums, Joe Locke on vibes, Ed Howard on acoustic bass.Hiram Bullock Quote

marcello Posted January 31, 2005 Report Posted January 31, 2005 I just tried the Hiram Bullock link and it worked fine, Mike. Do a search for him and you can come up with it with your browser of choice. Quote
