Jazz View, is this a liget label?

[Hardbopjazz]

I came across a live date of Booker Little. There is so little little out there. The CD is called "Live in NYC." April 1960. The label is Jazz View. Are they a legit record label?

[doubleM]

Can you post the line-up, date, etc.? Some of these that I have seen are/have been released under different names (i.e., "Ted Curson w/ Eric Dolphy" on JazzView, I believe was "Cattin' Curson"). If you don't have the tracks elsewhere, it might be work grabbing if it's not too steep.

to answer the question: probably only under Italian law. Italy had a very liberal copyright law and was very lenient towards bootleggers until the late 90s. There still might be some clause that allows for unofficial recordings like radio broadcasts and audience recordings to be pressed and sold in Italy, I don't know.

All I have on this session is,

Jazz View COD 028

google tells me that COD 28 is a Mingus disc (???) and that the only 1960 Booker Little on JazzView is the Time album in their jazz history series.

Oh yeah, he did ask that question. I think that Booker Little title might have been released under a different name, on a more legit label. It might even be the one w/ Teddy Charles.

Allmusic.com has the Booker Little as COD 28. They must have it listed wrong.

Avoid the Booker Little/Teddy Charles on Jazz View. The sound is awful.

It's off my list if it sound that bad.

i think you got the title wrong. the correct title is booker little in new york, april 1960. i don't believe this is a live date at all. it's a poor copy of a studio recording issued on the time label that includes these two sessions:

Booker Little Quartet

Booker Little (tp) Tommy Flanagan (p) Scott LaFaro (b) Roy Haynes (d)

NYC, April 13, 1960

Opening Statement Time M 52011

Minor Sweet -

The Grand Valse -

Who Can I Turn To? -

* Booker Little (Time M 52011, S 2011)

Booker Little Quartet

Booker Little (tp) Wynton Kelly (p) Scott LaFaro (b) Roy Haynes (d)

NYC, April 15, 1960

Bee Tee's Minor Plea Time M 52011

The Booker Little/Teddy Charles is the Museum of Modern Art set originally on Warwick. Presumably the Fresh sound version is acceptable.

All the Jazz View titles I've heard have been rather poor copies from vinyl. So best to treat this label with extreme caution. Most of the music is available elsewhere I suspect.
