BFS Posted March 3, 2007 Report Posted March 3, 2007 Introducing Julius Watkins and Vol. 2 are combined on one Blue Note re-issue from 1998. The 9 tracks look like the two complete 10' releases from the 50's ? 1 Linda Della 2 Perpetuation 3 I Have Known 4 Leete 5 Garden Delights 6 Julie Ann 7 Sparkling Burgundy 8 B and B 9 Jordu Does anybody have this? Is it worth picking up? Does it contain all the tracks from the original two releases? Quote
Clunky Posted March 3, 2007 Report Posted March 3, 2007 This CD is very nice and not at all common. Don't miss it. Some excellent Mobe to boot. The Conn Cd was complete AFAIK Quote
Parkertown Posted March 3, 2007 Report Posted March 3, 2007 If you can do vinyl, Hiroshi Tanno lists a King pressing that includes both of these 10"Lps, probably fitting each one per side. (That'd be about 24 minute sides.) 2800 yen = $24. Quote
mikeweil Posted March 3, 2007 Report Posted March 3, 2007 The Conn CD as well as an earlier Japanese LP include both 10" LPs complete. Arguably the best Julius Watkins ever recorded. Quote
Peter Friedman Posted March 3, 2007 Report Posted March 3, 2007 It's good one. Get it while it's available. Quote
Stereojack Posted March 3, 2007 Report Posted March 3, 2007 I had always had mixed feelings about Julius Watkins until I first heard these sessions some years ago. It's great stuff! Quote

brownie Posted March 4, 2007 Report Posted March 4, 2007 Julius Watkins was also co-leader (with Charlie Rouse) of the Jazz Modes group that recorded some very enjoyable albums for Dawn and Atlantic. Quote
sidewinder Posted March 4, 2007 Report Posted March 4, 2007 And he's prominently featured on the Quincy Jones DVD that is part of the 'Jazz Icons' series. Quote
