sidewinder Posted May 8, 2011 Report Posted May 8, 2011 Tell me which ones to get and I'll be back... I've not heard a single tune by them yet. He ! No sure what to specifically recommend Ubu - the album with the trombones is a good one. I knosw that my Mosaic 'Frosh' gathers dust and I really should play it more than I do. It's actually pretty good ! Quote
brownie Posted May 8, 2011 Report Posted May 8, 2011 Get the Trombones album if the condition (and price) is good. Love the music! The sound on the vinyl was superb, better than on the Mosaic set! Quote
king ubu Posted May 8, 2011 Report Posted May 8, 2011 ok, will check if the 'bones one is there... not sure from memory, but there must have been at least five or six, one or two twice. Quote
sidewinder Posted May 8, 2011 Report Posted May 8, 2011 The ones recorded with Stan kenton's Orchestra and also the 'Five Saxes'(Dave Pell, Bud Shank, Bob Cooper etc.) are well worth getting too ! So far on my 'de-dusting' of the Mosaic set the sound quality is much more than OK, although I've not got the 'Five Trombones' session yet. Some great Milt Bernhart solos on these sessions. Quote
king ubu Posted May 9, 2011 Report Posted May 9, 2011 OK, I went back to see what Four Freshmen were left... not as many there as I thought I'd seen, either someone went there after me on Saturday or my memory was playing tricks. Anyway, today's haul (for 20 bucks): The Four Freshmen - Voices in Love The Four Freshmen - Stars in Our Eyes The Four Freshmen - In Person The Four Freshmen - The Swingers: 12 Jazz Favorites by The Four Freshmen and: Johnny Dankworth - England's Ambassador of Jazz (Roulette R 52040) Red Rodney & Ira Sullivan - Spirit Within (Elektra Musician) as well as: Dionne Warwick - Make Way for Dionne Warwick (Scepter) Dionne Warwick - Promises, Promices (Scepter) Roberta Flack - First Take (Atlantic) Quote
sidewinder Posted May 9, 2011 Report Posted May 9, 2011 Johnny Dankworth - England's Ambassador of Jazz (Roulette R 52040) A recent BBC4 Dankworth Tribute documentary had home cine film of them all getting off the TWA aircraft in NYC. The same view shown on the front of that LP. A very young Kenny Wheeler amongst them ! That Roulette LP must be the US issue of the Top Rank UK LP. OK, I went back to see what Four Freshmen were left... not as many there as I thought I'd seen, either someone went there after me on Saturday Maybe someone checked out this site? Quote

OK, I went back to see what Four Freshmen were left... not as many there as I thought I'd seen, either someone went there after me on Saturday Maybe someone checked out this site? The Roulette album is from London (says Bruyninckx) and doesn't include Wheeler - but it's pretty nice, it was the first of the bunch that I put on the turntable. Played all four Froshs, too - the first two (that would be in the Mosaic) are in pretty bad shape (including a couple of scratches that have the needle stuck), but the two later ones are ok, and the fourth was done by Bill Holman and is the jazziest, and from my initial reaction, the best of these four. Enjoyable music, for sure! The Roberta Flack debut is impressive, wow! Had no idea! All I had so far was the CD reissue of "Killing Me Soflty", now the album with Donny Hathaway (on CD) is on its way, too. And I'm starting to really appreciate Dionne Warwick, too! Playing "Promises, Promises", right now! Quote
Dave James Posted May 9, 2011 Report Posted May 9, 2011 could have picked up plenty of beat-up Four Freshmen Capitols, too, but the above was enough (and cost me around 40$) No respect around here for the Frosh.. No Frosh, no Beach Boys. Either would be a shame. Quote
king ubu Posted May 21, 2011 Report Posted May 21, 2011 Finally got the other Bennie Wallace on Blue Note ("Twilight Time") and in addition found "Harlem Piano" by Luckey Roberts and Willie "The Lion" Smith - seems to be the original Good Time Jazz LP. What a great cover photo! Quote
brownie Posted May 21, 2011 Report Posted May 21, 2011 Great cover and great photo by Lee Friedlander! Quote
king ubu Posted May 21, 2011 Report Posted May 21, 2011 today's haul from the used book shoppe nearby...

YOU KNOW WHAT I SAW BUT DIDNT GET WAS THIS REALLY STRANGE **TYRONE WASHINGTON** record! no no not natural essence, (already have an orig lp), it was i believe a 70s lp, with a very handy graph on the back cover depicting personel. i didnt get that but I DDDDDIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIID get a mint (for all intensive purposes) Liberty press STREET OF DREAMS/GG on really heavy nice vinyl.

sidewinder Posted May 22, 2011 Report Posted May 22, 2011 RED SPECKLED VINYL 'Dirty Dozens?' Nice finds, sounds like fun ! Quote
Free For All Posted May 22, 2011 Report Posted May 22, 2011 (for all intensive purposes) I believe it's "for all intents and purposes" but I think your version still gets the idea across. Quote
Unk Posted May 22, 2011 Report Posted May 22, 2011 had a flipping haul, today, ... All-time classic Chewy post What I wouldn't give for a bit more EXUBERANCE in my life. Untempered joy. It was the pick-me-up and kick-my-ass I needed this morning. (The less said about my morning, the better.) Thanks, Chewy. Now, the presciption is clear, a dose of Hank. With the Messengers. Quote
crispi Posted May 24, 2011 Report Posted May 24, 2011 This here, found in a records store in Berlin, Germany. A 1967 Riverside ABC reissue of "Boss Guitar" entitled "This is Wes Montgomery". Promo, great sounding MONO mix. "Re-mastering supervised by Bob Thiele". Quote
king ubu Posted May 26, 2011 Report Posted May 26, 2011 That Wes looks cool! How would ABC/Thiele have gotten involved with this? Did they license Riverside stuff for a while after Riverside had gone belly-up? Quote
kh1958 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Posted May 26, 2011 That Wes looks cool! How would ABC/Thiele have gotten involved with this? Did they license Riverside stuff for a while after Riverside had gone belly-up? I believe the ABC licensed versions of Riverside LPs succeed the Orpheum versions. Quote
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted June 25, 2011 Report Posted June 25, 2011 sealed JOHN PATTON- That Certain Feeling 1st pressing, now open Quote
jeffcrom Posted June 26, 2011 Report Posted June 26, 2011 sealed JOHN PATTON- That Certain Feeling 1st pressing, now open Cool - my favorite Patton! Does it have the groove catch on the last track of side one? Quote
johnlitweiler Posted June 27, 2011 Report Posted June 27, 2011 Interesting LP I found last week for $10: "Initial Visit" by E. Parker McDougal from 1975 on Grits records. I'm not familiar with him, but it was still sealed and it is subtitled "Chicago Hard-Core jazz" and why not take a chance? The main players are (there are some personnel changes on a few tracks): Jay J. Peters - Tenor Sax E. Parker McDougal - Tenor Sax Willie Pickens - Piano Dan Shapera - Bass Steve McCall - Drums This is my first listen, but it is a nice, straight-ahead jazz session. Nothing fancy but good playing. I wish some of the songs were longer, because it seems like they fade out before they get really going. I've got a 45 RPM single from that session - picked up at the Jazz Record Mart in Chicago. I agree with your assessment: good, but not earth-shattering. A shame the tracks are abbreviated on Initial Visit - slightly longer tenor solos on McDougal's other LP, Blues Tour. McDougal was a very melodic post-Pres man who liked to stretch out and he was a joy to hear. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted June 27, 2011 Report Posted June 27, 2011 sealed JOHN PATTON- That Certain Feeling 1st pressing, now open Cool - my favorite Patton! Does it have the groove catch on the last track of side one? Yeah, that defect is why I don't own it on vinyl. Quote
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted June 27, 2011 Report Posted June 27, 2011 WHAT. THE. HELL? YES IT HAS THE GROOVE CATCH ON THE LAST TRACK OF SIDE ONE I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE YOU MEAN YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS? OMG JEFFCROM, TELL ME ALL U KNOW ABOUT THIS! WTF? sorry, i was freaking out. well we can conclude it aboustely positivelys some kind of pressing error (how?)--- cause my sealed original 1st press vangelder stamped liberty had it Quote
