Larry Kart Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 2 hours ago, Joe said: That Don Joseph Uptown record is still MIA in any digital format. Date: June 2 & 3, 1984Location: Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, NJLabel: Uptown Don Joseph (ldr), Al Cohn (ts), Don Joseph (c), Bill Triglia (p), Red Mitchell (b), Joey Baron (d) a. a-01 Ash Wednesday Blues - 4:54 (Don Joseph) b. a-02 But Beautiful - 9:15 (Jimmy Van Heusen, Johnny Burke) c. a-03 Indian Summer - 6:25 (Victor Herbert, Al Dubin) d. b-01 Stumbling - 5:14 (Zez Confrey) e. b-02 It Might As Well Be Spring - 8:54 (Richard Rodgers, Oscar Hammerstein II) f. b-03 When Lights Are Low - 5:58 (Benny Carter, Spencer Williams) All titles on: Uptown LP 12": UP 27.23 — One Of A Kind (1985) There were plans several years ago to reissue it with additional tracks/alternate takes, and I was asked to write the notes, but things came up on the home front that forced me to drop out, and IIRC Sunnenblick then began to think of modifying his initial plan to include (again IIRC) other material from Joseph and from other somewhat related figures like trombonist Milt Gold. I'm no longer part of the project; perhaps a message to Sunnenblick would yield more info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only hope these plans finally do come to fruition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 The good people at Fresh Sounds released à CD last year 'A Tribute to the Jazz Poetry of Don Joseph' (FSR CD 919) that included various recordings with Joseph but nothing from the 'One of a Kind' album. Glad I have kept the original Uptown vinyl... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul secor Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 (edited) For me, the Don Joseph Uptown LP is "perfect" as is. I'm not sure that I'd want to hear it with added material. More is not always better. (I should also mention that I love the original cover.) Edited December 27, 2017 by paul secor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes - but I need it on CD, since I don't have a turntable!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgcim Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 While we're talking about the great Don Joseph, I should say that I recently spoke to a friend of mine who was a close friend of his on the island of staten. He now claims that DJ never used heroin, only alcohol. I could have sworn that he said DJ used H back in the 50s or 60s, but now my friend denies it. It could be that we were talking about another great SI musician we both played with who OD'd on H, but my friend has reversed what he's said on a few other things...

jeffcrom Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 Mose Allison - Mose in Your Ear. I'm guessing that this 1972 Atlantic live album was considered one of Mose's less appealing records due to the length, intensity, and complexity of the piano solos. I'm enjoying it tonight, though.

romualdo Posted April 30, 2019 Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 One of Bernie's best but has never been released on CD. Lloyd Swanton (one of the Necks) originally financed the session & has the tapes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marzz Posted April 30, 2019 Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 (edited) @romualdo I second the Bernie McGann for sure! I would have thought at least a download by now. He does have a few albums on Bandcamp for example, though most of those are (or were) available on cd.

Shrdlu Posted April 30, 2019 Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 For vinyl after 1970 (approx.), just use a turntable and connect it to the "line-in" on a computer*. I record the line-in with some free software called "MP3MYMP3", which includes WAV format. (I used to use Musicmatch Jukebox to record, but the creators of that shut it down and, after a hard-drive crash which lost it, I can't activate it anymore.) Pre-1970 vinyl is almost always Rice Krispies sound. For some reason, nearly all LPs from before 1970 have been badly treated by their owners. They are invariably sold as "VG+", and the sellers usually say that they have no way of testing the LPs. Of course, you can get USB turntables, but that is unnecessary and connection to the computer can be done through the line-in port. __________________________________________________ * If the turntable only has "phono" output, a booster to "line level" is needed. My turntable already has line level output. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
