Tom 1960 Posted July 26, 2009 Report Posted July 26, 2009 (edited) Interesting album here, heavily influenced by Teddy Charles who supervised the session. Great lineup. Not sure how many of you guys already own this or not? I just received this in the mail courtesy Oldies.com. Glad I picked this one up. While I already own a few of Charles' dates, I really have to get more. Edited July 26, 2009 by Tom 1960 Quote

While I already own a few of Charles' dates, I really have to get more. "Interesting" is an appropriate word to describe that one, imo. Glad I have it - some good playing & compositions but not an essential record. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted July 26, 2009 Report Posted July 26, 2009 Like all of the Prestige "jam sessions" this is better than ok but not essential. I think I have all of them - 18 (depending on your filing system), not counting the Ammons sessions. Weinstock was really proud of these and that's fine with me. Quote
JSngry Posted July 26, 2009 Report Posted July 26, 2009 I always enjoy (and am fascinated by) hearing pre-Trane Elvin. Quote
jlhoots Posted July 26, 2009 Report Posted July 26, 2009 I like it better than the rest of you. Quote
jlhoots Posted July 26, 2009 Report Posted July 26, 2009 Depends on your definition of "essential" - or did I miss some "irony" in the question???? Quote
JohnS Posted July 26, 2009 Report Posted July 26, 2009 This is what I enjoy! A very nice date, perhaps not "essential" in the strict sense of the word but it's one I wouldn't want to be without. Mine's on vinyl by the way. Quote

AllenLowe Posted July 26, 2009 Report Posted July 26, 2009 "I like it better than the rest of you." I like most of my CDs better than I like most of the people on Organissimo - I just wouldn't admit it in public. c'mon guys, I couldn't resist. How did everybody else miss this one? Quote
king ubu Posted July 26, 2009 Report Posted July 26, 2009 Nice album indeed! I slept too long on these Prestige jam sessions, but the ones I've heard so far have all been good! Quote
BFrank Posted July 26, 2009 Report Posted July 26, 2009 One of the early things I downloaded from eMusic. Haven't listened to it in a while, though. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted July 27, 2009 Report Posted July 27, 2009 I don't have this one, but I've always thought it looked interesting. The others I do have I enjoy and wouldn't get rid of. Quote

Chuck, would you be so kind a post the list of these 18 releases, please? Just so we youngsters know what to hunt for... I am aware of: Roots Earthy Outskirts of Town and I own: Olio but I think that's all... (or I forgot some or file some under one particular artist, who knows... All Night Long and All Day Long are under Burrell and/or Byrd in my shelves, for instance) Quote

Thanks! I need Coolin' and the multiple trumpets, have the rest, I think... didn't think of all those with Coltrane... The Cats and Cattin' are among my favourites from this bunch of albums! As for Swingvilles - the one on the Hawkins "Bean & The Boys" CD, originally titled "Stasch", was that a Hawkins album, or more of a jam thing? Looks kind of interesting... the disc's around as a cut-out in a local sale right now! Quote
Tom 1960 Posted July 30, 2009 Author Report Posted July 30, 2009 Any thoughts on the "Roots" album? Quote

Is The Garland Quintet's "All Mornin' Long" in this mix as well? Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted July 30, 2009 Report Posted July 30, 2009 No, that one of a series of Garland quintet dates. Quote

Cattin' would be the Coltrane/Quinichette album, right? I have most of those, although I'm still hunting for affordable copies of Roots and Outskirts of Town. I think the Four Altos album (Phil Woods, Gene Quill, Sahib Shihab, Hal Stein) also belongs on this list, as does the Curtis Fuller & Hampton Hawes with French Horns album (which was in fact the other half of the Modern Jazz Survey "series" alongside what later became known as Dakar).

Peter Friedman Posted February 16, 2016 Report Posted February 16, 2016 Yes, Prestige issued an awful large number of highly enjoyable albums. Happily, I have a large collection of Prestige sessions which have given me much pleasure over many decades. Quote
