Jazz Kat Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 I was jamming last night at my friends house. After everyone else had split, I was looking through my friend's dad's record collection. About a couple 1,000 of Blue Notes, Prestiges, Verves, etc..It was like heaven. (next time we hang out all we are going to do is put some of those records on cd's) I found a lot of BN's that I am dieing to hear. I am pretty familiar with a lot of classic Blue Note albums, and love the cover art. There's about 500 that I want to hear really bad. This is how this thread was started. So what BN's haven't YOU heard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 The ones that haven't made it to cd yet and then some. I probably haven't heard some of the rear early BNs like the Art Hodes, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 There's just a couple from the classic period I haven't heard, I think. Lonnie Smith's 'Turning Point' and Reuben Wilson 'On Broadway'. The former should be rectified soon when it comes out on CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybleaden Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Very few I guess I have gradually either hunted em down or got help with friends etc I guess the ones that I would like to hear that stick in are Jermemy Steig Wayfaring Stranger Bobby Hutcherson Inner Glow hmm The Three Sounds Vibrations erm I think that is about it. Mosaic took care of the early stuff, reissues did the rest and a few favours but there must be more.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Bobby Hutcherson Inner Glow It's very good ! The Three Sounds 'Vibrations' is also somewhat better than I was expecting (one side of the LP is a bit lightweight though). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Haven't heard this, and would definitely like to: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 I haven't heard ANY of those Blue Notes. I'd like to hear the OTHER Tyrone Washington. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 I haven't heard ANY of those Blue Notes. ← Well, I wouldn't dare to say this is the best Blue Note album, but they certainly were the best Blue Notes! On the real topic: I have quite a few holes... of course age being a factor here - I wasn't getting into jazz until the early to mid nineties, and back then having enough money for two or three CDs a month, so obviously I missed tons of the late eighties releases. Made good for that by picking many BN Mosaics (still missing the Donaldson and Turrentine, though, and missed the Smith and the trad ones). Then with European EMI stopping releasing real CDs, I stopped buying their product (except for a few Conns that I got in real cheap sales, and the Hill Dance of Death that I got from the US). So what I miss out on is too much to list... a dozen or two of Jimmy Smiths, some Blakey (but not much - missed that Mosaic as well), most of the early BNs, and most of post... say '64 BN - of course I have the Rivers and some Hill - not the Select yet - and some Jackie Mac. But then I'm in no hurry to get all of those... it must be a sad day to realize that there's nothing new you will ever be able to find by some of your beloved artists... (I miss "Thinking of Home" and one or two other Mobes... I suppose I'll wait trying to get them until they're way OOP and hunting them is fun...)

ejp626 Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Haven't heard Hutcherson's Inner Glow (but I do think there will be a Mosaic Select to help rectify this soon). I've got one Jutta Hipp import, but I think there were two others I haven't heard. Actually, I have very little of the Three Sounds. Very little of the electric Donald Byrd Some of the early Lou Donaldson on BN. Debating on the Mosaic, since I have about half the material in the set. Horace Silver's Doin' the Thing Many others of course, but that's what springs to mind. Sometimes I look at it the other way and think that it is amazing that I have about 85% or so of BN's output from the 1950s to 1972. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 (edited) I've heard those Hipps Vol.2 is up on the bastids: fine stuff, for sure! two volumes from the Hickory House, the third (prob. easier to find, it was a Conn) is with Zoot (plus Zoot's trumpet player, Eardley, and bassist, don't remember), and Jutta's drummer, Ed Thigpen - sort of a mix of Zoot and Jutta's groups.

couw Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 I wonder if we will ever see a domestic re-issue of her New Faces New Sounds material. Isn't there a nice 10" session that can be paired with this one for another one of those fabulous 10" conns? The two Hickory House albums have recently been re-issued as 24bit TOCJ CDs so they should be readily available for okay prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Good point, the Urbie Green would sort of work with her 10". . . . But I wonder if EMI actually has access to that Hipp material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Oh, that reminds me. I haven't heard the Urbie Green or the 'Best in the West' stuff either. Nor have I heard the Dodo Greene... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
couw Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 But I wonder if EMI actually has access to that Hipp material. ← Well, Toshiba-EMI seems to have, at least they issued an RVG mini-LP some years ago. A bit steeply priced considering it clocks in at under 30 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 For some of us, the more fortunate ones, the better question might be: Which BN have you not heard that you really want to hear? That would allow me to continue to ignore all of the post Lion-Wolf stuff which, to paraphrase from a line in the movie ]I]The Big Chill, "I COULD have listened to them, I CHOSE not to. I'm not hung up on this completion thing." Except for that Inner Glow thing. Still wanna hear that someday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 I forgot about that Toshiba 10" , there's a vague hope then. . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soul Stream Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 I can't think of any BNs that I haven't heard that I REALLY want to hear. Even some classics that I have no interest in for whatever reasons...Herbie's "Inventions" comes to mind. (coming out of the closet, not a huge Herbie fan) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Berger Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 BNs that I haven't heard but really want to hear: Pete LaRoca - BASRA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! various Hutchersons -- Oblique and Happenings, not sure if there's anything else Andrew Hill -- Andrew!!!! Don Cherry -- Symphony for Improvisers and Where Is Brooklyn Charles Lloyd -- the ones he did in the 80s There are a lot of other ones that I haven't heard but am not rushing out to get.

Jim R Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Along the lines of what Dan and SS said, I feel like my Blue Note hunting days are pretty much over (and were basically over awhile ago, actually). The only things that I've really been very anxious to hear over the last several years are still in the "rejected" category. Probably for good reason I know, so... life goes on. It's sad... there's hardly anything exciting coming to light in the world of jazz recordings anymore. All we get these days is stuff like Dizzy and Bird in '45; Monk and Trane at Carnegie Hall; maybe some Coltrane lost Impulse stuff... yawn...

brownie Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 The Urbie Green 10 incher is the one BN that I still have on my want list! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soul Stream Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 I DO miss that feeling of hearing a BN session for the first time. Oh, to be in love again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free For All Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 The Urbie Green 10 incher ← I always knew there was something "different" about him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnS Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 In one form or another I think I have all the "modern" classic titles with a couple of exceptions I'm not bothered about. I start getting picky in the UA period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 The Urbie Green 10 incher is the one BN that I still have on my want list! ← Same here! Others I never heard are the Eddie Gales, the Kenny Coxes, the Reuben Wilsons, some of the Three Sounds albums - not too many, it seems.

Am curious. I used to lack a lot of Art Blakey and Horace Silver BN's, but I've rectified that in the past few years... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
