BeBop Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 Date: November 4, 1954 Location: Universal Recording, Chicago, IL Label: Vee-Jay David Shipp (ldr), Porter Kilbert (ts), Melvin Moore (t), Andrew Hill (p), David Shipp (b), William Hobbs (d) a. 54-208 Romping (David Shipp) Vee-Jay 45: 145 - Romping/Let's Live (1955) b. 54-209 Swinging Easy (David Shipp) Top Rank LP 12": RLP 111 (1962) c. 54-214 Let's Live (David Shipp) Vee-Jay 45: 145 - Romping/Let's Live (1955) d. 54-215 Nick's Dance (David Shipp) Top Rank LP 12": RLP 111 (1962) A long story, shortened: I spent 35 years looking - virtually daily - for an LP. Finally found it. Bought it. Hadn't bought it for the Andrew Hill material, but it looks like this may be his first recording. Is it available elsewhere? Curious, more than anything.

Stereojack Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 Three of the tracks (Romping/Swinging Easy/Nick's Dance) were issued on a compilation "Sax Appeal", Vee Jay 716, in 1993. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Fitzgerald Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 I'll wager dollars to doughnuts that's where the original post came from. (But thanks, of course - and credit to Ron Lyles) Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeBop Posted August 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Funny thing, I had just logged back on to credit my source. (I'm usually good about this, but my boss dropped in on me as I was posting this morning. Hey, it's Sunday morning and I'm supposed to be 'off' anyway.) Yes, it's from: http://www.jazzdiscography.com/ Thanks for the Veejay compilation info, Stereojack. Something worth noting: I think I bought this compilation several years ago (Sax Appeal, with a scantily clad miss wailing on a saxophone, as I recall) and I'm pretty sure I bought it at Stereo Jacks in Boston/Cambridge. I know for certain I looked for it there, but perhaps didn't find it and bought it nearby; tough to keep these things absolutely straight. Anyway, all by the way.

Chuck Nessa Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 FWIW, "the Captain" David Shipp plays on my 2 Von Freeman records. I heard him hundreds of times and deeply regret not making his funeral. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
