Niko Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 Haynes is only on the first three tracks, about 30 minutes, see also the enthusiastic summary here http://www.jazzarcheology.com/artists/frank_haynes.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never knew of that We Love The Blues disc let alone that Haynes was on it. Just jumped at the "Collectible" copy on Amazon for $8, which leaves plain old "used" copies starting at $20. Never bought a Collectible listing that was so much cheaper. With the LP also en route, these four tracks with Haynes will basically make the Haynes tracks equivalent to a full LP length, with T-Bone guesting on half. I don't know if it will be quite as brilliant as this guys says but this is very cool. Thanks for posting this length. As an aside I am curious if anyone knows that Sonny Forriest LP. Helluva band behind him even if the jazz content and soloing is minimal or nonexistent. I'm trying to decide if I want to pull the trigger on it.

That We Love The Blues disc started to look familiar and it took me about 3 minutes to find it. Guess I'll have a Pay It Forward offer soon. In the meantime it's up next in the stack.

JSngry Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 Found these all in one place yesterday, only one over $3.99: (in mono, thank, uh, god) (no program notes enclosed, alas) CHECK IT OUT - Leonid (NOT Lennie! Hambro playing Janacek on a record put out by BRISTOL LABORATORIES!!! and finally, two Gerald Wilson PJ LPs, both of which I've had for decades, but in damn near MINT covers...mine are anything but, although bought new way back when...

Hambro I recently encountered Leonid Hambro for the first time, listening through this Leonard Rose box set: So I looked up the relation between Leonid and Lennie. They're not related, but there's this from Lennie's Wikipedia page: One of Hambro's greatest accolades came from famed clarinetist and band leader Benny Goodman, who, when introduced to him by pianist Leonid Hambro (no relation), said of Hambro: "No need, I know who he is; he's the only man that makes me feel self-conscious when I play."

Davidovsky is big in that genre. Exactly. There are exceptions, of course, but tape/electroacoutic music by US academic composers can be very predictable and utterly boring.

JSngry Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 I've got a low-energy mission to kinda fully-ish collect all (sorta) the Nonesuch albums of then-"contemporary" classical music. Some of them are very good, some of them are very not-good. But three bucks for a clean cover and seemingly clear record, it's not gonna suck so much as to not be worth three bucks and one listen. The one that really tickled me was the one put out by Bristol Labs (they're now part of Bristol-Myers-Squibb?). Freakin' Janacek put out by a pharma lab, a ginormous double-digit font-pool of WTF!?!?!?!?!-ness if ever there was one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't find audio on-line either. What's it like? Jazz, stylized klezmer, or authentic ? Cover is very Xanadu-like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 Onyx was ran parallel to Xanadu, it was for historical stuff. No klezmer, this is a jam session in Jerry Newman's apartment. Been on my want list since it came out, just never found it at the right time at the right price, until now. $3.99, beautiful condition, cover and record.

Dmitry Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 Nice, good for you to finally find it.Thanks for the back cover pic. I'm confused by Gitler's descrition of Berman's cause of death. First he writes that it was air embolism, then that it was hard drugs. Also, the photo is listed as Schlitten's. What a precocious lad...must've been 14 when he took it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 cover photo is "courtesy" of Schlitten. the embolism was probably the result of there being an air bubble in the needle. oh, btw - those notes are Gitler doing what he did best - talking about times and places and people that he knew well. When he worked at that level, as he did here, it's great reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted March 23, 2019 Report Share Posted March 23, 2019 Ok, this batch is not as "great" as the last one, but it should be almost as much fun: Well yeah! Involving Esmond Edwards, Don Sebesky, Phil Ramone, and All The Usual Suspects. possibly (and that's a big if) a Gil Evans chart or two. The liners (by Dave Dexter who should know more than to leave it hanging) offer nothing more "the arrangements were contributed by Monty Kelly, Lou Bush, Gil Evans, and John Scott Trotter". Let us not forget Milt Kamen! Another version. New to me, heard about it for a long time. Kenyon Hopkins feat. Phil Woods. We'll see...

JSngry Posted March 23, 2019 Report Share Posted March 23, 2019 Back out again today, last time for a while, I hope. Nothing "great" here...or is there? I don't know. on Catalyst. Song selection and tune times are not inspiring, but hey - $3.pp. No illusions - Butera/Vegas/Hey. That bottom cover is pure "picture is worth a thousand words" gold. I bet they're all dead by now, but it doesn't matter, they're still out there. You've been warned. Seems like the kind of thing you damn near have to buy. I don't know Claude Hopkins, although I've heard of him for decades. It's got Hilton Jefferson and it's on Alamac. To everybody who didn't buy it, a big THANK YOU!!!! About to let it go, but then at the end of the liner notes it says that Elvin's on some of it, so... Record looks somewhat plowed, but I suppose I need to hear this once and for all. Hope it's as good as the voices ahve said. It's the JAM album on Red's own R/H label. Looks to be mint and was only $2.00. What's not to love about it? Old School Jack Lonshein Mainstream back cover for 2 bucks again. I'll do that all day every day. w/Walter Page & Pee Wee Russel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Kart Posted March 23, 2019 Report Share Posted March 23, 2019 The Hopkins band was special, had a "tippin' light" flavor all its own. Hope the Potts Porgy and Bess album is in decent shape. It's probably the best assemblage of mostly NY studio cats of that time, period (with judicious additions like Sweets, Charlie Shavers, Marky Markowitz, and Earl Swope) and Potts' writing is very fine. The Wild Bill is intriguing. New to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's got Hilton Jefferson and it's on Alamac. To everybody who didn't buy it, a big THANK YOU!! Don't know? Not explored big bands in greater depth to reach out to these first-and-a-half tier black bands (no,though he has often been overlooked I wouldn't consider him outright "second tier")? A blind spot, maybe? (Like others have it in other places) That particular compilation of tracks actually has been all over the place in multiple guises in the "H" section of big band jazz racks for about 40 years, first in the record shops, then in secondhand bins, and must have been the easiest available Claude Hopkins material for a very long time prior to the Hep and Classics CDs. It'd be impossible for me to count how often I've had the (French) Musidisc (30JA5156) equivalent of that (Alamac) set in my hands ever since the late 70s but did not grab it (and in retrospect I don't even know why I didn't). I finally took the plunge in the mid-90s and bought it secondhand on Swing Classics ET2. It was also out on Jazz Panorama LP13. FWIW, some secondhand bins seem to yield similar items worldwide these days. Not all that long ago I bought the George Lewis "Dr.Jazz" and the Davison/Condon "Live Miami Beach 1955" LPs for next to nothing from the secondhand special offer bins too. Wouldn't mind getting hold of a few more Condon concert releases from that period on those 70s collector labels at the same price.

JSngry Posted March 24, 2019 Report Share Posted March 24, 2019 Ok, I think this is it for a while. Again, not known to be "great", but hope is high. Bartok Records?!?!?!? Check it out, wow: https://www.discogs.com/label/356652-Bart%C3%B3k-Records Who ran Bartok records? Surely not Bartok himself. But it appears they are still in business, selling product! http://www.bartokrecords.com/ Bartók Records & Publications P.O. Box 399 Homosassa, FL 34487 U.S.A. Tel.: 352.382.2015 from the collection of Evelyn Campos, of Garland, Evelyn, can you hear me? I got your record now. This one was calling my name as soon as it flipped up. from 1952 & 1955. Love that cover. Ives? String Quartets? I'm ready. Originally on Vox, wonder what the turnaround time to the budget label was? The Household Muse?!?!?!?!?! another Horenstein in the wild! NO idea what to expect here, but Time, Series 2000, 4.99, not something I'm leaving behind, just becuase. $2.00, seemed necessary. No idea again, but I like how they look like players on the way to a gig, not already playing one. The LPs are heavier than fuck, hopefully hte playing is as well.
