Dan Gould Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 I just got an update list from one of my record dealers and I spotted this title and description: SESAC PA-231/2 Tyree Glenn Just A Minute!(DJ) VG+++ 25.00 (Above LP also feat. Sy Oliver,Joe Newman,Clark Terry,Seldon Powell,George Barnes,& others - this LP was only sent to radio stations in the U.S. in 1959 - never sold in stores!) So, I inquired as to what he means by "never sold in stores" and this was his response: "The LP only went to radio stations back in '59 - there were NO copies available for record stores - the only way you could get this LP(and there were others like it on the SESAC label) was to get it from a radio station - this label is highly sought after by collectors because there were NO copies ever sold in stores" So, my question is, can anyone shed any light on this label?

JSngry Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 I don't know, but I found this album used a few months ago. Haven't yet listened to it, but the "gimmick" is revealed in the title. All the cuts are about 60 seconds long! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Fitzgerald Posted August 26, 2003 Report Share Posted August 26, 2003 Another item on SESAC is the 1960 Billy Taylor Trio (with Henry Grimes and Ray Mosca) "Custom Taylored" which later came out on Riverside under the title "Warming Up" (and on Fresh Sound under the original title). Details in the Henry Grimes discography on my website. For some reason BT used his wife's name as composer. Not sure why pseudonyms were used for transcription dates (because on this, the *player* is listed as Billy Taylor - it's just the *composer* who is "Teddi Taylor"). In the jazz world, Chico Hamilton did a record for SESAC with Dolphy. As did Barbara Carroll, Warren Covington, Don Elliott, Hank Garland, Terry Gibbs, Bobby Hackett, Elliott Lawrence, Marian McPartland, Sy Oliver, Don Redman, Bill Russo, Eddie Safranski, Charlie Shavers, and others. Some but not all of these have come out, usually on bootleg labels. But the original issues are indeed collectors items for the reasons described earlier. Recently Billy Taylor talked about these and said it was nice because to make money you could do gigs, do record dates, AND do radio transcription dates.

Dan Gould Posted August 26, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2003 Thanks for the info, guys. When I realized Jim has a copy I tried to contact the seller to cancel the order but I doubt I caught him in time, so now I'll have a decision to make, whether to send the LP back when it arrives or go ahead and open it. I don't know-somehow the idea of minute long tracks isn't all that appealing. But maybe I can turn it around on ebay and actually clear some cash out of it.

JSngry Posted August 26, 2003 Report Share Posted August 26, 2003 My copy seems to be pretty plowed, fwiw. I agree that the idea of 60 second tunes ain't too thrilling, not at all, but you never know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 A very worthy Sesac date was the Don Redman All Stars. These were issued on two LPs by the French label Vogue back in 1979 in their Jazz Legacy series. The two LPs has twenty tracks (mostly around 3 minutes, except for one 1m19 feature for Osie Johnson). The big band includes people like Charlie Shavers, Joe Wilder, Jimmy Cleveland, Coleman Hawkins, Al Cohn, Hank Jones and others. Shavers, Hawkins, Hank Jones are among the featured soloists. Since Fresh Sounds is reissuing some Sesac sessions (Elliot Lawrence, Charlie Shavers, Chico Hamilton among others) maybe they could tackle these Don Redman sessions soon?

EKE BBB Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 There are also three Woody Herman discs (Sesac 3101/3102/3103) recorded on 1959 & 1962. Looks like some of the tracks from those sessions have come out on a CD called "In a misty mood" [ Jazz Society/Vogue (F) 670509 ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKE BBB Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 Another one I´m interested in is the Coleman Hawkins-led session, originally called "The Hawk and the Hunter" and reissued on CD by Fresh Sound Records as "Hawk Talk" [ FSRCD 130]. Just curious, as it features Frank Hunter´s Orchestra, with strings. Anyone´s got this one? Should I put it on my (ever-growing) wish list?

Mike On my SESAC copy of Custom taylored a short notice is printed on the back cover: This entire LP is available on Riverside Records - RLP 12-339 Does it mean Riverside released Warming up prior to Custom taylored (not later)? If so, why this additional release on SESAC??? BTW, I would never part with my SESAC copy. The thick cardboard cover looks very nice and the heavy vinyl sounds brilliant. "Designed for repeated listening" is printed on the label. That's true!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
