That's Mike Stan. He's not that interesting, trust me.

Two nice CDs with Paul Quinichette

[mikeweil]

I'm on a Quinichette kick lately. Of the three Basie tributes he recorded in the late Fifties, this one seems the best to me:

Great recorded sound by Tom Nola, much better than the two for Prestige Van Gelder engineered. Lots of dynamics. Nola catches the punch of the four trumpets so well. Jo Jones' drums sounds great here, too.

Nice to see this is being reissued in Japan.

This album was once recommended to me by some second hand dealer, and he was right! Atlantic did a great job of having jazz players accompany blues and r & b artists.

Is Mosaic put of this, finally? It was a Mighty Quinn release when they had it. It may or may not be gone?

mosaic web site is "revamped", but before spending JBucks, I'd at least call and see if they answer. If they do, see if that got any lying around collecting dust or whatever their stuff does. It's a really good record!

Is that the same as this? (Image found on Dusty Groove, but out of stock):

Same thing.

I have the Mighty Quinn reissue.

[Larry Kart]

The Quinichette to get above all IMO is "For Basie," with Shad Collins, Nat Pierce, Freddie Green, Walter Page, and Jo Jones. This was Page's last recording, I believe, and he makes all the difference. Shad Collins shines too.

Quinichette came to play for this date. Though one of his keys keeps clicking (I'm guessing D?), he is undeterred. Love the way Quinichette bends a note.

This album was my first exposure to Shad Collins. Very tasty trumpet player. I listened to the album on YouTube recently, went to look for the OJC...and realized I don't own it.

His keys clank a bit on this one too:

That edition is particularly valuable for the three short bonus tracks. I don't think they're present anywhere else.

I wonder who is right on the recording date?

Mainstream:

DCC:

According to the Lord disco August 14, 1952 is correct.

Looking at this song list... was Mainstream a legit label? On this CD, they assigned almost all writing credits to "(R Ellen) Molique Music BMI" and gave themselves copyright of all of the music with ℗ Mainstream Records. Clearly these things are not true.

[mikeweil]

These tracks originally were recorded for Dale or Sittin' In With. Maybe Bob Shad was involved. I have a disco on these in the basement. 

[sidewinder]

Some of those tracks e.g ‘Diaper Pin’ are also on the 2LP Helen Merrill ‘Mixes’ set which Bob Shad put out on Mainstream. Not sure on the credits on that one.

[JSngry]

Bob Shad was directly involved with the original recordings, and Mainstream was a legit label.

The Sittin' In With label material was reissued several time on Mainstream LP, although not to this extent. I have it as:

but it had a previous life as:

[Kevin Bresnahan]

So Mainstream was legit but on this CD, they were simply lazy about getting the song credits right?
