Milt Jackson - where next?

[Shrdlu]

There's a choice Milt performance on the dailymotion.com site - "For All We Know". That's Milt in top form, with superb backing from Oscar Peterson, NHOP and Martin Drew. There are a few blips in the film, but it's still a listenable copy. Nils-Henning's sensitive bass playing, the timing especially, is a marvel. [i don't usually like Oscar's playing, but he is perfect for Milt.]

Been listening to this one today--a big-band setting for Bags, with nice arrangements by Wilkins and Dameron:

The pair of Original Jazz Classics Jackson did with the Count Basie are nice. They're called Milt Jackson + Count Basie + The Big Band Volume 1 & Volume 2.

Thanks for the tip, David. Have bought it. The samples sounded excellent. Wonder how that one got under the radar?

Milt's Limelight album, "In a New Setting" is top quality, too. Jimmy Heath once again, plus McCoy Tyner. It makes a nice matchmeet for the "Jazz 'N' Samba" album.

I don't if these are all available but has anyone mentioned

Jackson' Ville (Savoy)

Bags Meets Wes

Savoy also put out several years ago when they were re-issuing a lot of stuff "Early Modern." Well worth it if you can find it.

The Milt Jackson Impulse LP "Memphis Jackson" is terrific. Too bad it has not been reissued on CD.

Love Milt. I remember an old LP I had of his with "Ain't Misbahvin'," and thought it listed him as the vocal.

Does he sing as well? Anyone know where I might find that track?

I came across an image of the cover of this today, and wasn't sure I'd ever seen it before (not even sure I'd ever heard of it).  Looks like it finally came out on CD in Japan in 2011, and again in 2014.  Anyway, I'm surprised I don't remember ever seeing it.  I guess 1969 wasn't exactly the best time to be releasing something like this...

Toody, not Tootie. Nor Percy. But Jimmy.
