Soul Stream Posted February 11, 2008 Report Posted February 11, 2008 complete Blue John sessions complete Lou Donaldson "The Scorpion" live recording the Harold Vick songs w/Patton that never came out. Get back Rare Grooves...dug all the sessions previously mentioned for that...maybe add some Ronnie Foster to the list. More organ stuff that's not Jimmy Smith... Also want to add Reuben Wilson's "On Broadway" and "Set Us Free" LPs to the list of wants... ...by the way...can anybody help me find the Bring Back Rare Grooves thread? I've searched and can't come up with it. Thanks... Quote
Swinging Swede Posted February 11, 2008 Report Posted February 11, 2008 This one? How can we lobby to get Rare Grooves back? Quote

Aggie87 Posted June 9, 2008 Report Posted June 9, 2008 I don't think these have been mentioned elsewhere... From musictap: "Blue Note Records goes through their vaults to bring back some jazz music that include the following titles: Fancy Dancer (Bobbi Humphrey); Set Us Free (Reuben Wilson); Heritage (Eddie Henderson); Elegant Soul, and Soul Symphony (The Three Sounds); and Howlin' for Judy (Jeremy Steig). These six reissues are scheduled for July 22." Quote
Swinging Swede Posted June 9, 2008 Report Posted June 9, 2008 Bobbi Humphrey!!! Just kidding. That does look like some kind of Rare Groove batch. I wil certainly get the Wilson and the two Three Sounds. What is Howlin' for Judy? Thanks for the info, btw. Quote
AndrewHill Posted June 9, 2008 Report Posted June 9, 2008 That would be kick ass if the Rare Grooves reissue program was revived Quote

Nice but a little lame compared to Sunburst. The Capitol Lps that were to come have their moments, too, but it really went downhill after the Mwandishi band. Quote
mikeweil Posted June 10, 2008 Report Posted June 10, 2008 ... and Howlin' for Judy (Jeremy Steig). That was one of the tracks on the Legwork LP on Solid State. The three Sonny Lester produced LPs, This Is Jeremy Steig, Legwork, and Wayfaring Stranger (the latter only was released on Blue Note because Liberty had bought Solid State and transferred the unreleased LPs to the Blue Note catalog) easily fit on a twofer. If they had tossed in the Fusion sessions that were issued on Groove Merchant as well as Capitol it would make a nice Mosaic Select and still had enough playing time left to include the Mike Mainieri LP with Steig. We'll see ..... Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted June 10, 2008 Report Posted June 10, 2008 Money saved for me. Might spend it on Jazz Oracles or sumpin' else. Quote
Dan Gould Posted June 10, 2008 Report Posted June 10, 2008 Is there any confirmation about this batch? I have to admit I'd be very surprised to see two Three Sounds reissues after the things MC has said about their reissue sales. But I'd be all over them if there are unissued tracks. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted June 10, 2008 Report Posted June 10, 2008 Probably not the kind of sessions with unissued material surviving. Quote

I have heritage on a japanese issue but would strongly recommend it to others...as I would with most of these...save maybe the 3 sounds which never grabbed me when I bought them on LP....sold them again pretty quickly afterwards if I remember Quote
Bluerein Posted June 10, 2008 Report Posted June 10, 2008 Aren't these Blue Note/EMI UK issues? They can do whatever they want without MC's approval. Don't think MC would let these come out as US reissues. BN US is just importing them for the US market. Quote

I'd rather credit anything Dan says about these than AMG. So, what of them, Dan? MG Soul Symphony ranks above Elegant Soul, by a significant margin, IMO. The latter suffers for song choices, like "Harper Valley P.T.A." among others, while the title track of the former stretches across one side of the LP and actually holds interest. Monk Higgins originally wrote the tune as his Master's Thesis (or something like that) and then made changes to make it a vehicle for Gene Harris' soulful piano. Its supposed to reflect "the Negro experience in America" and its definitely worth hearing if you are a fan of Harris. The rest of the album has several shorter, radio-ready throwaway ditties like "Popsicle Pimp". I will definitely be interested to hear people's impressions of Soul Symphony, as I've come close in the past to using the title track on a BFT - but how can you use up 24 minutes of space on one tune?
