J.A.W. Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 Mobley's Another Workout sounds exactly like that, just a *yawn* another blowing session. If I may so bold to say, one of the dullest sessions I've heard. I like it, though. But that's just me being dull. I'm one of the dullest persons I know, so no wonder I love that date. Quote
bertrand Posted March 19, 2006 Report Posted March 19, 2006 I disagree about the Mobley Savoy sessions - there's some very strong compositions on these dates, especially 'Madeline' and 'Spece Flight'. Besides, the tracks are way too short to be considered 'blowing tunes'. The solos end way before they get old. I haven't listened to the Prestige stuff that much. I never did buy the Fantasy CD since a tune was missing, and I was annoyed since they could have easily solved the problem by leaving out 'Au Privave' instead and making it a bonus track on Jackie McLean's 4.5 and 6 album. Johnny Griffin's A Blowing Session - now that's a Blowing Session! Bertrand. Quote
CJ Shearn Posted March 19, 2006 Report Posted March 19, 2006 nice batch. Though I already have the Morgan's in the Mosaic, I made a CDR of "The Cooker" for easy access because its one of my favorite sessions, so I will probably buy the RVG. Looking forward to the Hutcherson too, since they released Oblique, this will make a nice companion. Quote
DMP Posted March 19, 2006 Report Posted March 19, 2006 A nice batch, except that they've all been out. I don't get it - while I enjoy Bob Blumenthal as much as the next person, can't EMI find something new to release from their vast holdings? Aren't there some titles on Pacific Jazz or Roulette that would be commercially viable as well as musically important?? Instead, under the guise of some marginal improvement in sound (and the public has pretty much spoken on THAT issue) we get the same stuff. Quote
Templejazz Posted March 19, 2006 Report Posted March 19, 2006 OH...my ......GOD!!! HERE...TO...STAY....! TROMPETA T...T...TO..TOCATTA!!! CITY...LIGHTS...!!!!! More BYRD, SILVER...... This batch is "Filthy McNASTY"!!!!!!!!!!! Sweet..... Quote
Big Al Posted March 20, 2006 Report Posted March 20, 2006 The CD has 6 tracks, totalling 42:50. They are: Out of Joe's Bag (Mobley) 5:07 I Should Care (Cohn-Stardahl-Weston) 7:44 Gettin' And Jettin' (Mobley) 7:46 Hank's Other Soul (Mobley) 8:44 Hello Young Lovers (Rogers-Hammerstein) 8:06 Three Coins In A Fountain (Styne-Cahn) 5:21 Three Mobley originals with Hank, Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers and Philly Joe? The Kelly/Chambers rhythm section was on "Peckin' Time", Soul Station". "Roll Call" and "Workout". The three of them were Miles' backing band at the time. I don't see how this could be considered an off-the-cuff blowing session. Not sure I ever said anything about this being an off-the-cuff blowing session; I'm really looking forward to hearing this! My bad, however, as I thought there were only four other tracks, instead of five, with the "3 Coins!" If it fits, I'm gonna put both of these sessions onto one CDR for car-driving! Well, I didn't rave about this one, if that's what you mean. I merely commented that the Japanese RVG CD sounded weird to my ears. As for the music, it's not one of my favorite McLean dates but I wouldn't dump it. Kevin The sound quality was what I was referring to. I remember it sounding like it had been mastered through an aqualung! Quote
CJ Shearn Posted March 20, 2006 Report Posted March 20, 2006 DMP, while this batch may have been out before, for people like me, where buying boxsets and imports regularly is not an option, this is welcome news. Quote
Clunky Posted March 20, 2006 Report Posted March 20, 2006 Kenny Dorham – Trompeta Toccata Freddie Hubbard – Here To Stay Bobby Hutcherson – Happenings Jackie McLean – Demon’s Dance Horace Silver – Doin’ The Thing At The Village Gate (includes bonus tracks) Good bunch I'll be going for these. I have the rest in some form or another, I have Demon Dance on the McMaster Cd (thin watery sound) and but will replace if the RVG sounds better. Quote
DMP Posted March 20, 2006 Report Posted March 20, 2006 CJ Shearn - I've had all these titles so long (and mostly in single, domestically released versions), I guess I assume they're readily available, when in fact they probably have been discontinued for years. And it is a good batch - you won't go wrong with any of them. But, geeze, is this policy of deleting and re-releasing the same albums really the best for anyone? Quote
Guy Berger Posted March 20, 2006 Report Posted March 20, 2006 But, geeze, is this policy of deleting and re-releasing the same albums really the best for anyone? Probably for the record company. Guy Quote
WD45 Posted March 20, 2006 Report Posted March 20, 2006 (edited) I have a copy of the artwork on the CD release for Another Workout already. Edited March 20, 2006 by WD45 Quote
Jazz Kat Posted March 23, 2006 Report Posted March 23, 2006 I just got the planned RVG titles for this summer. I know a lot of people have wanted "Here To Stay" and there it sits! FWIW, I am so glad to see Mobley's "Another Workout" coming back into print and Lee Morgan's "The Cooker" has some killer Pepper Adams. The titles are... drum roll please... AUGUST Donald Byrd – Royal Flush Kenny Dorham – Trompeta Toccata Johnny Griffin – The Congregation (includes bonus track) Lee Morgan – The Cooker (bonus track) Hank Mobley – Another Workout Ike Quebec – It Might As Well Be Spring SEPTEMBER Donald Byrd – Off To The Races Freddie Hubbard – Here To Stay Bobby Hutcherson – Happenings Jackie McLean – Demon’s Dance Lee Morgan – City Lights Horace Silver – Doin’ The Thing At The Village Gate (includes bonus tracks) I have "Trompeta Toccata", "The Congregation", "The Cooker" and "Doin' The Thing At The Village Gate" (I think) on Japanese RVGs. All of them sound very good. I once owned the Japanese RVG of "Demon's Dance" and I thought it sounded like AM radio. We'll see if this new version gets it right. Kevin That's amazing. Nice albums to come out on RVG Quote
Brad Posted March 27, 2006 Report Posted March 27, 2006 As I have all these, my wallet says thank you. Quote
BruceH Posted March 27, 2006 Report Posted March 27, 2006 This is such a great line-up!! Looking forward to Happenings and Here To Stay being back in print. Quote
Shawn Posted March 28, 2006 Report Posted March 28, 2006 Please...a new cover for Another Workout...PLEASE!!!! I've been waiting for this session to be re-issued for a LONG time, actually one of my favorite Hank's (anything with this rhythm section). It's a fun brain test as well, since Hank re-recorded the originals (and sometimes more than once) under different titles later on.... Quote
bertrand Posted March 28, 2006 Report Posted March 28, 2006 (edited) Aaaarghhhhh.... I didn't know about the recycling of the tunes from Another Workout! I need to put EVERY Hank Mobley composition into my iPod into a playlist and use that to get them straight. That's what I did with Monk. I'll start a thread later to try to sort this out. Bertrand.

Man with the Golden Arm Posted March 28, 2006 Report Posted March 28, 2006 I have a copy of the artwork on the CD release for Another Workout already. last time Mat Mahurin retouched a photo it came to this! Quote
Shawn Posted March 30, 2006 Report Posted March 30, 2006 Well...they are earlier versions of songs (Gettin' & Jettin' is a pre-cursor to Up A Step/No Room For Squares, etc). But they are very different renditions. The main joy of this album though...is that it's a quartet setting...and it's Wynton Kelly, Hank & Wynton were definitely on the same wavelength. Quote
webbcity Posted April 1, 2006 Report Posted April 1, 2006 I'm a little late to this thread, but I have to say... Bobby Hutcherson – Happenings FINALLY! I've been waiting for this one to come back in print. A phenomenal record. And I guess I must be dull too, 'cause I also like Mobley's "Another Workout." Tim Quote
CJ Shearn Posted April 1, 2006 Report Posted April 1, 2006 lol Another Workout with retouched cover. Looking forward to "Happenings" since "Oblique" hit. And DMP, true what you are saying, not sure if deleting and reissuing is the right thing but if its music I never heard, cool Quote
Head Man Posted April 4, 2006 Report Posted April 4, 2006 (edited) Does anyone have a track listing for the 'Horace Silver - Doin' the thing' RVG release? Edited April 4, 2006 by Head Man Quote
mgraham333 Posted April 5, 2006 Report Posted April 5, 2006 1. Filthy McNasty 11:23 2. Doin' The Thing 11:10 3. Kiss Me Right 9:17 4. The Gringo-The Theme: Cool Eyes 11:43 Quote
Jazzdog Posted April 5, 2006 Report Posted April 5, 2006 Sources indicate that the Silver will have Bonus tracks. Here is the link to a discography from the shows that were recorded... http://www.jazzdisco.org/bluenote/1961-dis/c/#610519. The cd version had two tracks added. Hopefully the tracks that have been issued previously will be on this new RVG. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted April 5, 2006 Report Posted April 5, 2006 The cd version had two tracks added. Hopefully the tracks that have been issued previously will be on this new RVG. None of the domestic RVGs have omitted bonus tracks with the exceptions of lps where there were "mixed" sessions. No "mixed" sessions here. Quote

Hopefully the tracks that have been issued previously will be on this new RVG. As far as I know, they always have all the original-album tracks on the RVG---then they drop any bonus tracks at the end, which is the right way to do it. So don't worry. Quote
