Big Al Posted March 13, 2003 Report Posted March 13, 2003 I was looking through the collection last night and realized the only trumpet quartet album I own is Miles Davis, Volume 3. What else is out there? I'd like to get my hands on Bobby Timmons Soul Time, for Blue Mitchell and my favorite bass-drum team of Sam Jones & Art Blakey. Quote
Saint Vitus Posted March 13, 2003 Report Posted March 13, 2003 Lee Morgan's Candy and Herbie Hancock's Empyrean Isles quickly come to mind. Quote

SEK Posted March 13, 2003 Report Posted March 13, 2003 I was looking through the collection last night and realized the only trumpet quartet album I own is Miles Davis, Volume 3. That's one of my favorites: Miles and Horace (and playing on the day I was born). Quote
JohnS Posted March 13, 2003 Report Posted March 13, 2003 It's tricky but I think I'd have to go for Empyrean Isles Quote
Dan Gould Posted March 13, 2003 Report Posted March 13, 2003 A darn good one is Brian Lynch's effort for Sharp Nine, Tribute To The Trumpet Masters. Brian and Mulgrew Miller, with a mix of tunes, both originals inspired by players and tunes the trumpet masters are known for. Highly recommended. Quote

bertrand Posted March 13, 2003 Report Posted March 13, 2003 Booker Little (Time) Woody Shaw: Steppin' Stones (Muse) Lee Morgan: Candy (label unknown) Freddie Hubbard: Empyrean Isles (label unknown) Woody Shaw: In My Own Sweet Way (In & Out) Quote
king ubu Posted March 14, 2003 Report Posted March 14, 2003 The one that comes to my mind first is Johnny Coles, The Warm Sound. Wonderful! Then Candy by Lee Morgan. How is Dizzy Reece's Soundin' Off? It's the only one of his Blue Note I don't have. In the recent Conoisseur Byrd/Watkins set, there are some nice quartet tracks. And then there are some quartet tracks on the four Miles Davis Quintet Prestige albums that are very nice. ubu Quote
Green Dolphin Posted March 15, 2003 Report Posted March 15, 2003 From a European perspective Polish trumpeter Tomasz Stanko did a couple of stunning quartet sets on ECM with Bobo Stenson,Anders Jormin and Tony Oxley-Matka Joanna and Leosia.The same group "warmed up" for these sessions with Bossanossa on Polish label Gowi(probably still available from those excellent folks at Cadence) .A recent US recommendation would be Dave Douglas' Moving Portrait on DIW. Quote
Soul Stream Posted March 15, 2003 Report Posted March 15, 2003 In answer to how's Dizzy Reece's "Soundin' Off"...it's one of the best Blue Notes IMHO. A Perfect 10. Quote
mikeweil Posted March 16, 2003 Report Posted March 16, 2003 (edited) Howard McGhee, Maggie's Back In Town!! (1961) on Contemporary/OJC, one of his best sessions, with Phineas Newborn, Leroy Vinegar and Shelly Manne. Highly recommended! Edited July 6, 2009 by mikeweil Quote
king ubu Posted March 16, 2003 Report Posted March 16, 2003 thanks, Soul Stream! Hope it will be reissued some time... how could I possibly forget Stanko! I love him! Saw him live with the quartet that was on his last ECM issue "Soul of Things" great music, great CD (it was discussed on the BNBB some time ago)! Then there is another quartet (though not the p/b/d line up) which I do like: Dave Douglas' Charms of the Night Sky (with accordion, violin & bass, Klucevesek, Feldman, Cohen). Then anything Chet Baker did with Russ Freeman (the live recordings are on 3 Blue Note CDs, nice; the best would be the one with Leroy Vinnegar and Shelly Manne, "Freeman/Baker - Quartet" or something similar, done in 1956) ubu Quote
Son-of-a-Weizen Posted March 16, 2003 Report Posted March 16, 2003 The one that comes to my mind first is Johnny Coles, The Warm Sound. Wonderful! Haven't heard the Coles on CD....but the Classics Recs. vinyl is outstanding and should be on every vinyl fans 'must have' list. Anyone know if Timmon's "Soul Time" has been released in Japan or is just available as a domestic here? Quote
king ubu Posted March 16, 2003 Report Posted March 16, 2003 The Warm Sound is on a Koch CD. Sounding alright to these ears (who like good sound, but do care much more for the music, in general) How about the recent Concord reissue of Art Farmer's two quartet albums with Fred Hersch? They're quite nice, too. The disc is called "Artistry". Then any of the early Farmer quartets on Atlantic (Sing Me Softly of the Blues, To Sweden With Love, At the Half Note and Interaction) as well as the Art and Perception (originally on Argo or Chess). (Some of these have been mentioned) ubu Quote
paul secor Posted March 17, 2003 Report Posted March 17, 2003 Doc Cheatham: Adolphus "Doc" Cheatham (Jezebel) Leo Smith has recorded with some different kinds of quartets. Three that are in my collection: Leo Smith with Irene Emanuel, Carol Emanuel, and Ruth Emanuel all playing harps on "The Burning of Stones" - Spirit Catcher (Nessa) Leo Smith with Dwight Andrews: alto flute, bass clarinet, triangles; Bobby Naughton: vibes, marimba; and Charlie Haden: bass on "Spirituals: The Language of Love" - Divine Love (ECM) Leo Smith with Dwight Andrews, Bobby Naughton, and Wes Brown: bass and flute on Go In Numbers (Black Saint) Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted November 13, 2005 Report Posted November 13, 2005 Another result of a search for something else, and this thread came up. Reminds me that I've purchased quite a few "trumpet + piano trio" dates over the last couple years (at least 6 or 8). I need to dig 'em out, and update this thread. Several (most?) that I don't remember seeing as I just skimmed through the previous proceedings. Quote
brownie Posted November 13, 2005 Report Posted November 13, 2005 Then any of the early Farmer quartets on Atlantic (Sing Me Softly of the Blues, To Sweden With Love, At the Half Note and Interaction) as well as the Art and Perception (originally on Argo or Chess). (Some of these have been mentioned) ubu ← Currently listening to the Art Farmer Quartet 'featuring Jim Hall' at the Half Note! What a beautiful combination! Quote

sjarrell Posted November 13, 2005 Report Posted November 13, 2005 On Sundays it's Chet Baker Quartet w/ Russ Freeman. Sometimes on other days too. But it's tops on a Sunday morning. Quote
BFrank Posted November 13, 2005 Report Posted November 13, 2005 (edited) Here are 3 CDs worth of trumpet w/trio. Also: Hal Galper "Now Hear This" w/Cecil McBee, Tony Williams and Terumasa Hino. Edited November 13, 2005 by BFrank Quote
ep1str0phy Posted November 13, 2005 Report Posted November 13, 2005 Here are 3 CDs worth of trumpet w/trio. Don't forget "Grand Max" (which isn't on here, unless I'm mistaken). Quote
