Herbie Hancock Quintet Jammin'


Son-of-a-Weizen

Recommended Posts

Looks like a Warwick label logo on the top right side of the cover!

Must be a variation on this Warwick album:

057926.jpg

That was with Herbie Hancock, Laymon Jackson and Jimmy Cobb.

The session has been reissued in numerous variations.

The version you posted made use of Herbie Hancock's popularity several years after the session was recorded.

Not worth $76 :excited:

Here are the tracklists and session info of the two different "Jammin'" releases, and Donyld Byrd's "Out of this world".

It looks like the Collectables is in fact "Out of this world" (or alternate takes from the session), but the other "Jammin'" is a different 1961 session.

Collectables:

1. Currio's (Alternate Take)

2. Bird House (Alternate Take)

3. Mr. Lucky (Alternate Take)

4. Out Of This World (Alternate Take)

5. Daydreams (Alternate Take)

6. I Am An Old Man

The takes on Jammin' are truncated - the only issue that had the takes as complete as possible was the two LPs on Fresh Sound - one had the Warwick LP as issued, the other the alternates. That Jammin' is a bootleg to be avoided. Due to most themes edited off it is an unpleasant listening experience.

Teddy Charles produced the session and played on one track:

Date: ca. 1961

Location: NY

Label: Warwick

Pepper Adams (ldr), Donald Byrd (t), Pepper Adams (bar), Teddy Charles (vib), Herbie Hancock (p), Laymon Jackson (b), Jimmy Cobb (d)a. 61WA71 It's A Beautiful Evening - 5:20 (Dorothy Wayne, Raymond Rasch, Sidney Keith Russell)

West Wind (Ger.) CD: 2135 - Out of This World

Fresh Sound (Sp.) CD: FSR-CD 137 - Out of This World - Donald Byrd/Pepper Adams Quintet

Fresh Sound (Sp.) CD: FSR-CD 335 - Out of This World - The Complete Warwick Sessions

Starburst CD: 1010 - Touchstone

Fresh Sound (Sp.) LP 12": FSR-638 - Out of This World - Donald Byrd/Pepper Adams Quintet

Warwick LP 12": W 2041 - Out of This World - Donald Byrd/Pepper Adams Quintet

TCB (Swi.) LP 12": 1002 - Takin' Care of Business

The rest of this album features the Pepper Adams-Donald Byrd Quintet. Charles only appears on one track. The CD reissue contains the extended versions of each track. On the Warwick and Fresh Sound LPs, Charles is referred to as "Jinx Jingles."

From Noal Cohen's Teddy Charles Discography. I remember mailing him the timings of both Fresh Sound LPs and descriptions of the solo routines of each track to help him find out if Charles was on more tracks.

I repeat: Avoid that Jammin' in every form! You're better off with any of the Fresh Sound issues!

I doubt that the 20 year old or so (at that time) Herbie would have recorded a tune titled as No. 6 is above, "I Am An Old Man". Rather, that cut is a very spirited and terrific version of "I'm an Old Cowhand".
