Jazztropic Posted July 13, 2007 Report Posted July 13, 2007 Picked up A few dates ,Texas Twister Groovin with Buddy Tate .Any thoughts on some other good dates?Looking at Just Jazzor with Celebrity Jazz Orchestra on Black and Blue.Any thoughts? Thanks Quote
BruceM Posted July 13, 2007 Report Posted July 13, 2007 I can recommend "Meets Dollar Brand". An unlikely combination that works very well. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted July 13, 2007 Report Posted July 13, 2007 Texas Twister is a favorite. Also on New World is Jay McShann's "Going to Kansas City" with Tate, Julian Dash, Gene Ramey and Gus Johnson - very nice. I suggest "The Ballad Artistry of Buddy Tate" on Sackville - with Ed Bickert's trio. I also recommend all the material on Prestige/Swingville, though they seem to be disappearing. The twofer called "Buddy and Claude" is gone from the Concord site and some of the others are only listed there. Quote
marcello Posted July 13, 2007 Report Posted July 13, 2007 (edited) Yes Chuck, I have "The Ballad Artistry of Buddy Tate" on Sackville also. Very nice! Edited July 13, 2007 by marcello Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted July 13, 2007 Report Posted July 13, 2007 Yes Chuck, I have "The Ballad Artistry of Buddy Tate" on Sackville also. Very nice! You might be interested to know the cd version adds "A Kiss to Build a Dream On", "Gone With the Wind" and "Laura" for a total time of 69:26. Quote
Peter Friedman Posted July 14, 2007 Report Posted July 14, 2007 I have all the ones Chuck mentioned and they are all very good. They would be my first choices to purchase. Some other CDs with Buddy Tate as leader that I like include. Buddy Tate with Humphrey Lyttelton - Swinging Scorpio - Black Lion Buddy Tate and His Buddies - Chiaroscuro Buddy Tate - Swinging Like Tate - London Buddy Tate/Nat Simpkins/Houston Person - Just Friends - Muse Buddy Tate/Paul Quinichette/Jay McShann - Kansas City Joys - Sonet Buddy Tate All Stars - Jive At Five - Storyville Quote

NaturalSoul Posted August 31, 2007 Report Posted August 31, 2007 i'm playing this one right now a two-fer including 'Tate's Date' and 'Groovin' With Buddy Tate' Not mindblowing stuff, but it's good. I'd recommend it (although i don't have TONS of Tate.) Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted August 31, 2007 Report Posted August 31, 2007 Ray Bryant made two albums for Columbia with Buddy Tate (& Harry Edison and other good guys). The Madison time Dancing the big twist Unpromising titles. And "The Madison time" single was a big hit - #5 on the R&B chart, #30 pop. And fetures a DJ, Eddie Morrison, calling out the steps on the hit track and a couple of others. And these are really nice albums. Collectables - as ever the home of the most stupid couplings - has put "Madison time" on the same CD as "Hollywood jazz beat" - a bunch of film ballads played with strings, while "Big twist" is coupled with "Ray Bryant trio".

BruceH Posted August 31, 2007 Report Posted August 31, 2007 I have the Buck & Buddy album, and like it. I'm beginning to think I need more. Quote
paul secor Posted August 31, 2007 Report Posted August 31, 2007 I have the Buck & Buddy album, and like it. I'm beginning to think I need more. You may want more, but needing more is a whole other deal - as most of us have learned. Quote
