Rooster_Ties Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 (edited) What are your favorite STUDIO dates (originally recorded for any label other than Blue Note), that had their first-ever release to the public roughly 20 or more years after they were first recorded. (Studio material NOT originally recorded FOR Blue Note, but later released BY Blue Note can be included in this thread.) Also, for anything recorded after 1988 (20 years ago), then any studio material first released more than 10 years after it was originally recorded (if it was recorded after 1988). NO LIVE DATES. STUDIO MATERIAL ONLY. and NO BLUE NOTE dates. (unless they were originally recorded by someone OTHER THAN Blue Note, and later released by Blue Note.)

king ubu Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 How about that Cannonball Capitol album that was first released on CD a few years ago, "Money in the Pocket": Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewHill Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 I know this one saw a limited cassette release at one point, but does Norman Howard's Burn Baby Burn qualify? I think the ESP is the first official release of this 1968 date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 The Plugged Nickel stuff must be among the very best! Though I don't know when the first album culled from those sets was actually released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 I don't think this thread has enough color or is BOLD enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster_Ties Posted July 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 (edited) I don't think this thread has enough color or is BOLD enough. Well, it certainly didn't if two of the first three examples given were of live dates, and I specifically asked for STUDIO dates only. I've added color and some size changes to the first post.

Stereojack Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Some of the unreleased Blue Notes are as good as anything that was issued when new. I especially like: Lee Morgan - Tom Cat Grant Green - Nigeria Hank Mobley - A Slice Of the Top Sonny Clark - My Conception also: Bud Powell/Don Byas - A Tribute To Cannonball (Columbia) With a little thought, I can definitely come up with plenty more!

king ubu Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 ok, one that's not off topic now: Lucky Thompson's marvellous Candid album, released first in its entirety in the 80s, I think (one title was on one of those samplers): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 in addition to Stereojacks little Blue Note list, there's also Lee Morgan's "The Rajah" (I know many don't like it), and Stanley Turrentine's "Comin' Your Way". Also I'm not sure though when those came out first: the first Blue Mitchell album and those Grant Green w/Sonny Clark albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connoisseur series500 Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 The Plugged Nickel stuff must be among the very best! Though I don't know when the first album culled from those sets was actually released. Yes, great stuff. It is live material so it doesn't fall under Rooster's criteria. But I'm just happy that these music was captured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WD45 Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 I just saw a review of a Cy Touff date for Delmark cut in 1981 but unissued until yesterday. I haven't heard it yet, but given my enthusiasm for his Pacific Jazz date, I will be buying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Beat Steve Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Oh my ... there's so much ... One item that comes to mind is Shorty Rogers' 1956 "Clicking with Clax" session for Atlantic that wasn't released until much, much later.

So, NO BLUE NOTE DATES, unless they were recorded for some other label, and then later released by Blue Note.

danasgoodstuff Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 i have a few good 'ns that I believe meet the criteria set forth above: Bud Powell - Plays Charlie Parker on Roulette Stan Getz - studio date on Verve with Gary Burton from the '60s, one with chick remains mostly unissued! Sonny Rollins - the Alternative... leftovers from the '60s on RCA, first issued in FRance, 20 years+? Eric Dolphy/Chico Hamilton - Ellington Suite, first version Miles Davis - various bits and pieces on the boxes, despite the carping from some corners,ther's good stuff there...and not so good too.

Rosco Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Another thumbs up for the Lucky Thompson. This is one I bought a couple of weeks ago and am currently enjoying- Frank Rosolino's Free For All. Nice album! Recorded for Specialty in 1958, not issued until 1986.
