Label M: Stan Getz, My Foolish Heart Cohn/Sims, Easy as Pie Hubbard Heath, Jam Gems Sonny Stitt, As It Was Cedar Walton, Three Sundays in the Seventies Freddie Hubbard, Fastball Muse: Roy Brooks, The Free Slave Fantasy: Dexter Gordon, L.T.D. -, XXL Ammons/Stitt, God Bless Jug and Sonny -, Left Bank Encores Enja: Coleman Hawkins, Supreme Verve: Joe Henderson/Wynton Kelly Trio, Straight No Chaser -, Four Freshsound: Wynton Kelly Trio, Live at the Leftbank Jazz Society, Baltimore 1967 (2CD) -, Live at the Leftbank Jazz Society, Baltimore 1968 (2CD) Lee Morgan/Cliff Jordan, Live in Baltimore 1968 (Recording organised by Leftbank Jazz Society at Royal Arms, Baltimore) These are all I can think of. Is there anything more? ubu Edit: added the recordings brownie & Lyin' Wolf mentioned. Edited July 8, 2003 by king ubu Quote
brownie Posted July 7, 2003 Report Posted July 7, 2003 There should be more. Two I can think of were: - Roy Brooks 'The Free Slave', a 1970 date with Woody Shaw and George Coleman that came out on a Muse LP, - Coleman Hawkins 'Supreme', a 1966 date with Barry Harris, Gene Taylor and Roy Brooks that was issued by Enja. The Baltimore Left Bank Jazz Society was reminisced on this thread: http://www.citypaper.com/2000-10-04/feature.html The story mentions that some 350 tapes were made from 1965 to 1980! Quote
JSngry Posted July 8, 2003 Report Posted July 8, 2003 I got an e-mail response from Label M back when they were in operation, and they said that they had intentions to eventually release a Mobley set from the Left Bank tapes. Not anything that's already been issued, but something elseThey mighta been blowin' smoke, but I was left with the impression that the material was available and of usable quality. So say your prayers, eat your vegetables, and keep your lawns mowed and well groomed, there's hope! Quote
Brad Posted July 8, 2003 Report Posted July 8, 2003 Any opinions on the Heath Hubbard or Cohn Sims. I saw copies of these at B.J.s for like $7 each. Quote
JSngry Posted July 8, 2003 Report Posted July 8, 2003 I have both, and I like both. Very much, in fact. Unlike some live recordings, there's nothing revelatory in either, but they're definitely worth having - good live playing, nice and stretched-out. Don't overlook the Hubbard/Maupin either! Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted July 8, 2003 Report Posted July 8, 2003 I'm listening to Sonny Stitt Live At The Left Bank right now!! Those muthas are takin no prisoners!! Quote

Jim: one of that Freshsound Wynton Kelly 2CD sets has Hank Mobley (I'd guess the 67 but I'm not sure). The other has George Coleman. The 68 set was made after Chambers had died, with Ron McClure, if I remember right. Let me get the info from Freshsound: Live At The Left Bank Jazz Society, Baltimore 1967 (2 Cds) Wynton Kelly Trio Featuring: Wynton Kelly (p), Hank Mobley (ts), Cecil McBee (B), Jimmy Cobb (d) REFERENCE: FSCD 1031 BAR CODE: 84 27328 61031 5 PRICE: 17.20 € Tracklisting: CD 1 1. On A Clear Day (Lerner-Lane) 2. Hackensack (Monk) 3. On Green Dolphin Street (Kaper-Washington) CD 2 1. Milestones (Davis) 2. If You Could See Me Now (Dameron-Sigman) 3. Speak Low (Weil-Nash) Recorded live in 1967 Live At The Left Bank Jazz Society, Baltimore 1968 - 2 Cds Wynton Kelly Trio Featuring: Wynton Kelly (p), George Coleman (ts), Ron McClure (B), Jimmy Cobb (d) REFERENCE: FSCD 1032 BAR CODE: 84 27328 61032 2 PRICE: 17.20 € Tracklisting: CD. 1 1. Introducction-Announcements 2. Unit 7 (Jones) 3. Surrey With The Fringe On Top (Rodgers-Hammerstein) 4. On The Trail (Grofé) CD. 2 1. Mr. P.C. (Coltrane) 2. On A Clear Day (Lane-Lerner) 3. Here's That Rainy Day (Van Heusen-Burke) 4. Theme (Davis) I don't have either of these, but listened to part of them at some store, and they have quite horrible sound. So I guess the Label M Mobley might have been some other recording? Dorn would not have released these, I think. ubu ("don't mow your lawn" - ray anderson) Quote
JSngry Posted July 8, 2003 Report Posted July 8, 2003 So I guess the Label M Mobley might have been some other recording? Yeah, if I'm remembering right it was a Mobley-led gig. Quote
Dan Gould Posted July 8, 2003 Report Posted July 8, 2003 There was a link on that forgotten BB to a Left Bank site which listed all of the concerts they sponsored. Mobley was there many times, and there was lots more that you'd hope was of releasable quality. So here's hopin'! Quote
Lyin' Wolf Posted July 8, 2003 Report Posted July 8, 2003 Isn't Dexter's XXL a Left Bank Recording? Quote
king ubu Posted July 8, 2003 Report Posted July 8, 2003 Isn't Dexter's XXL a Left Bank Recording? Yes it is. I added it to my list, thanks. ubu Quote

Here's that link: http://home.earthlink.net/~eskelin/leftbank.html Ellery Eskelin, God bless him, compiled this listing. Quote
alankin Posted July 12, 2003 Report Posted July 12, 2003 I wonder if Hyena will try to continue with these? Quote
bertrand Posted July 3, 2017 Report Posted July 3, 2017 That was a long time ago, but seven more for the list: Jackie McLean Dr. Jackle Jackie McLean: Tune Up Duke Pearson: Baltimore 1969 Blue Mitchell: Baltimore 1966 Gary Bartz: Home (not yet on CD) Mickey Fields (only one track on CD) Walter Namuth/Mickey Fields That last one was a collaboration between Left Bank and the Baltimore Jazz Alliance; there were supposed to be more... The Lee Morgan concert was produced by the DC Left Bank chapter. A whole 'nother story. Bertrand. Quote
GA Russell Posted July 3, 2017 Report Posted July 3, 2017 I'm sorry that list only goes up to '67. I saw three DC Left Bank shows, and I think that all three were in the spring of '69: Art Blakey, Horace Silver and Roy Haynes. Both Blakey and Silver were disappointing (too robotic), but I enjoyed the Haynes very much. Haynes' quartet had George Adams on tenor sax and Carl Schroeder on piano. Quote
bertrand Posted July 4, 2017 Report Posted July 4, 2017 There are yearbooks that go far beyond 1967. I have some scans which cover 1964-1989, with 1975 missing. I hope to put together a database one day. Bertrand. Quote
