sidewinder Posted May 17, 2007 Report Posted May 17, 2007 after years of hunting i have them all. meade lux lewis was the hardest one for me but Schifrin was the most expensive... MCO According to the booklet there is/was a restaurant somewhere - Rio I think - that was totally wall-papered with copies of the LP sleeve of this one. Now there's an obsessive ! Quote
AndrewHill Posted May 24, 2007 Report Posted May 24, 2007 Snatched up Introducing Jimmy Cleveland for $5 at Half Price used. The disk is scratched up, but how many more times is this one going to pop up? Quote
David Posted May 24, 2007 Report Posted May 24, 2007 I recently found Cat House Piano and the Jack Teagarden at a used CD store in Georgetown (DC) for $7.99 each. The Teagarden is absolutely wonderful. Quote
AndrewHill Posted May 24, 2007 Report Posted May 24, 2007 (edited) The Jimmy Cleveland is EXCELLENT by the way! Very Happy to stumble onto this one. edt. for spelling. Edited May 24, 2007 by Holy Ghost Quote
sidewinder Posted May 24, 2007 Report Posted May 24, 2007 (edited) What is that 'Collector's Disk' like? Worth getting? Edit - to correct myself, answer looks to be on page 1. Looks like a 'yes'. Edited May 24, 2007 by sidewinder Quote
sidewinder Posted May 24, 2007 Report Posted May 24, 2007 Whoopee ! Just grabbed me a 'Collector's Disk' from the 'bay'. Don't think I ever saw that one in the stores. Quote
sidewinder Posted May 24, 2007 Report Posted May 24, 2007 congrats, definitely worth having! Thanks ! $8.99 plus shipping sounds good.. Quote
king ubu Posted May 25, 2007 Report Posted May 25, 2007 yup - I bought the only in-store copy I ever saw, at the usual crazy Swiss Universal CDs prize, about 20 euro, roughly... Quote
sidewinder Posted May 25, 2007 Report Posted May 25, 2007 By quick reconning, the only ones in this series I'm still missing are the Jacquet, Meade Lux Lewis, Teagarden, Dinah, De Franco and Bellson. I think I have all of the ones I particularly want. Are there any of the above that I should regard as 'to die for'? Quote

I think I have all of the ones I particularly want. Are there any of the above that I should regard as 'to die for'? Yes, the Jacquet! But then I wonder, isn't that part of the Lonehill Jacquet series? Or does that one start later? The two long jams with Ben Webster are *da shit*, as they say, while the rest of the stuff is sort of the same stuff as on the great Mosaic set of Jacquet's. The Bellson is merely so-so, too short, not enough substance for me to tell if it's really that good - the small group isn't that intriguing, but I think there's one great Tadd Dameron chart on the big band part, and there's a short glimpse (or two?) of Wardell Gray there, too! The Teagarden is great - BIG sentimental favourite of mine, Big T singing the songs of Willard Robinson (for instance "A Cottage for Sale", "Old Folks", "Where Are You" and the wonderful "Guess I'll Go Back Home This Summer" - most warmly recommended, of course also for some marvellously beautiful trombone playing! The Dinah is old-fashioned stuff, I got it to have them all and paid quite a bit, but it's not that great a disc, I'd say. The Lewis, well - depends on if you like some stride piano or not... the De Franco I never really liked that much, too sweet, somehow. I think that one may be out on Lonehill, too? Quote
sidewinder Posted May 25, 2007 Report Posted May 25, 2007 Thanks guys ! The Jacquet and possibly the Teagarden are still on my list then... Quote
jostber Posted May 31, 2007 Report Posted May 31, 2007 Ubu Rex: you must correct the sad state of your Teagarden holdings. At the very least get the other Verve recording on cd, "Mis'ry and the Blues", just released a few weeks ago. It's a great companion to the Elite, similar in nature (and two more Willard compositions). And if you like that one, keep on exploring. He's one of my favorite artists. "It's All in Your Mind" from this one to me is the essence of great Teagarden! Wonderful lyrics, playing and singing. "Think Well of Me" is also brilliant. Some of the songs from his third and last Verve Album is on this CD I believe: http://www.jackteagarden.com/fffavs3playlist.htm Quote

Big Al Posted June 1, 2007 Report Posted June 1, 2007 Lalo Schifrin - DISSECTION AND RECONSTRUCTION OF MUSIC FROM THE PAST AS PERFORMED BY THE INMATES...(and it just keeps on going, you have to see the title to believe it, this is not a joke!) Believe it or not, I found this used for $7.98 a few years back. Couldn't believe my eyes! Bought it with the intention of eBaying that sucker. Then I actually enjoyed it. For a couple years anyway. Ended up eBaying it anyway. I think I got close to $30 for it. Quote
Big Al Posted June 1, 2007 Report Posted June 1, 2007 LISTEN TO ART FARMER AND THE ORCHESTRA I don't have this VEE, but I do have a very lovely vinyl copy which Slide Advantage Redoux sold me (I miss that guy, wonder where he's been lately?) Quote
sidewinder Posted June 1, 2007 Report Posted June 1, 2007 Lee Konitz - MOTION (found this one used; has anyone ever listened to those other 2 discs?) ME ! Good for those days when you are needing a concentrated dose of Elvin.. Quote
Aggie87 Posted June 1, 2007 Report Posted June 1, 2007 Lee Konitz - MOTION (found this one used; has anyone ever listened to those other 2 discs?) ME ! Good for those days when you are needing a concentrated dose of Elvin.. I listen to all three discs when I pull it out. It's a good 'un! Quote
king ubu Posted June 1, 2007 Report Posted June 1, 2007 Yes, I love that 3CD "Motion"! As for the long title of the Schifrin, I assume yall are aware that it refers to German writer's 1963 play "Marat/Sade", which is actually called: "Die Verfolgung und Ermordung Jean Paul Marats dargestellt durch die Schauspielgruppe des Hospizes zu Charenton unter Anleitung des Herrn de Sade" (english: "The Persecution and Assassination of Jean-Paul Marat as Performed by the Inmates of the Asylum of Charenton Under the Direction of the Marquis de Sade"). Of course everybody knows who that ami du peuple was, but maybe you need some help on Sade? Quote
Big Al Posted June 1, 2007 Report Posted June 1, 2007 Lee Konitz - MOTION (found this one used; has anyone ever listened to those other 2 discs?) ME ! Good for those days when you are needing a concentrated dose of Elvin.. But it isn't Elvin; it's Sonny Dallas. Quote
