AndrewHill Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 The Miles Davis sides aren't too shabby either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjarrell Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 I'm listening to John Jenkins w/ Kenny Burrell right now, and that's one that might be under the radar. Clark/Chambers/Richmond round out the band, and it swings like mad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 (edited) Some Blue Note gems which sometimes skip under the radar. Walter Davis Jr 'Davis Cup' Kenny Drew 'Undercurrent' Stanley Turrentine 'Up at Mintons Vol 1 and 2' Pete La Rocca 'Basra' Joe Henderson 'Our Thing' Booker Ervin 'The In Between' Leo Parker 'Let Me Tell You 'Bout It' Ike Quebec 'It Might As Well Be Spring' Anthony Williams 'Spring' and 'Lifetime' Grachan Moncur III 'Evolution' and 'Some Other Stuff' lots more, of course.

AndrewHill Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 The Moncur's are absolutely excellent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Don't know if you're into organ, but you need some Jimmy Smith and the two Baby Face Willettes are necessary as in anything Grant Green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzjet Posted June 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 On the basis of the recommendations/comments made etc ( plus reference to the Penguin Guide ) I've just put in a big Amazon order for : No Room For Squares - Hank Mobley Ready For Freddie - Freddie Hubbard Inner Urge - Joe Henderson Free For All - Art Blakey Heavy Soul - Ike Quebec Workout - Hank Mobley Doin' The Thing - Horace Silver Bossa Nova Soul Samba - Ike Quebec This on top of a batch of Stanley Turrentines last week. No idea when and how I'm going to listen to all this stuff but hey you're only old once! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzjet Posted June 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Can't go wrong with that list Hope so. At around 4 to 5 GBP each they were pretty irresistible. It was either Blue Note classics or the new Coldplay album Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm only familiar with the more famous Vol 2 - one of my all time favourites. Not sure I've ever checked out Vol 1. Volume One is very very good (a personal favorite because I was playing this when my wife broke her water and eventually gave birth to our first daughter). Byrd is in good form as well as Max Roach. Not essential Rollins but very good by Rollins standards. The first and last tracks are terrific! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parkertown Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 You need a Wee Bit 'O Green... I recommend "Grant's First Stand." "Lullaby of the Leaves" gets me every time. Him and Baby Face, locked in groove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdavenport Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Jazzjet Why not try this: On Amazon, set search to music, then type in Blue Note. After this, click "under 5 pounds" (bottom left of the screen), then set the search criteria at the top to "Price: Low To High". Then simply scroll through the first few pages. Doing this, I've found loads of new Blue Notes for under one fifty. The beauty of this is, that due to the liquid pricing, if you do this every few days, you'll find different titles at such prices. They might not all be the classic albums, but you really can't go wrong at those prices. I actually got the Grant Green 4CD set for one pound thirty-five doing this.

Jazzjet Posted June 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 I'm just ploughing through the piles of Blue Note CDs that I've acquired recently, largely thanks to this forum. Up At Minton's by Stanley Turrentine is a fine record with a relaxed feel. I particularly enjoyed Horace Parlan. Can anyone recommend any of the Blue Note titles by Parlan ( none of which seem to have been reissued at a reasonable price ) or any of his work for other labels?
