NaturalSoul Posted August 30, 2007 Report Posted August 30, 2007 (edited) Could someone recommend me some Clifford Scott (that's IN print - or easily available.) 'Mr. Honky Tonk Is Back in Town' is quite expensive on amazon, and i can't seem to find it anywhere else (am I looking in the wrong places?) I just got 'Billy Larkin & The Delegates Featuring Clifford Scott' and i'm really digging it so far. I'm also going to buy the Jimmy Witherspoon OBC with Clifford Scott on it. So what else is there?

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted August 30, 2007 Report Posted August 30, 2007 Lionel Hampton Paris All Stars - 1953 gig with Clifford blowing up a STORM! If you can find it, Wild Bill Davis' Zurich Concert has good Clifford Scott. Even more difficult, his own album "Out front" with Les McCann on PJ is great! Of course, there is a raft of Doggett recordings, of which I know you have some. He also takes a great solo or two on Ray Charles "My kind of jazz", which I think is available - and Blue Mitchell and Bobby Bryant and Andy Ennis - the tenor player on Doggett's "Wow" are on there, too. Can't think of any more at present, but I'll remember some later, I expect. MG Quote

I'll have to pull out all my Doggett recordings to see what one's he's on. Almost all the ones recorded by King after '56. I think he's on some of the Columbia ones - "Oops"? I think you've got that one. I think you've got "Hot Doggett", too. He's only on a couple of tracks of that one, 'cos it's mostly early cuts. He was with Doggett from '56 to about '61. By the way, as well as "Mr Honky Tonk is back in town", there's another on the same label "Texas tenor", which is perhaps even a little better. And I knew there was another fantastic one. Charles Kynard's first album, "Where it's at" on PJ. Totally brill and worth whatever you have to pay to get it. Two I haven't got of his own were Clifford Scott plays the big ones - World Pacific Lavender Sax - World Pacific I think they may be a bit dubious, y'know. Though I'd buy them if I saw them cheap.

MG Thanks! I just ordered the Paris All Stars. I'll be checking dustygroove and ebay for those other ones. oh and also, 'Texas Tenor' is available on amazon for 13 bucks, i might get that when i get paid in a few days. Quote
NaturalSoul Posted August 30, 2007 Author Report Posted August 30, 2007 Oh and also, i do have Oops, i'll play that one later. I also have Hot Dogett but i thought the only sax player on that was Percy France, so thanks for pointing that out to me. Quote
NaturalSoul Posted August 30, 2007 Author Report Posted August 30, 2007 (edited) And ONE more thing - is Clifford the sax player on Billy Larkin's album 'Hold On'? It doesn't say on the sleeve. EDIT - Nevermind, After re-reading the liner notes i saw that Fats Theus is the Tenor player. Edited August 30, 2007 by NaturalSoul Quote

paul secor Posted August 31, 2007 Report Posted August 31, 2007 http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00...2450&sr=1-3 King sides - by both Clifford Scott and Lynn Hope. Fine music, but very expensive. Quote

Fine music, but very expensive. That's interesting, Paul. I see most of the album is Lynn Hope. Is that material he recorded for King? (I think I have all or most of his Aladdin stuff.) MG Quote

I also have Hot Dogett but i thought the only sax player on that was Percy France, so thanks for pointing that out to me. I have a French edition of "Hot Doggett", with discographical notes Percy is on "Early bird", "Percy speaks" "Honey boy" (Oct 52, Feb 53 & Aug 55) Irving "Skinny" Brown is on "High heels" (May 54) FRANK HEPPINSTALL is on "Gumbo", "Wild oats", Quaker city", "Oof", "Shove off" & "True Blue" (Oct 54 & Mar 55) Clifford Scott is on "Squashy" (Jan 56) Clifford Scott & Percy France re on "Who's who" (Jan 56) Frank Heppinstall, to my mind, is a greatly under-rated tenor player.

Fine music, but very expensive. That's interesting, Paul. I see most of the album is Lynn Hope. Is that material he recorded for King? (I think I have all or most of his Aladdin stuff.) MG The Lynn Hope material is all King stuff - specifically all from King LP 717 - Majaraja of the Tenor Sax + three unnisued sides. Only five cuts by Clifford Scott are included (one unissued), but they're all good ones. Looking at a discography, Clifford Scott recorded three times as much material as was issued on this CD, including a session with Andrew Hill and Malachi Favors - might be interesting to hear that one. Anyway, this CD was issued by Charly, so you might have a shot finding one in a used store in the UK for a cheaper price than the Amazon bandits want. Quote
