Monday Nights At Birdland

I've always been curious about these albums. I also never understood why they weren't re-released on Blue Note; I've only seen the Fresh Sound releases. How's the music?

Monday Nights at Birdland

[Dan Gould]

The music is as fine as you would expect. Billy Root didn't recorded much so he is a bonus. For some reason I want to say that one of these volumes has a Hank Mobley tune that he recorded for BN, so hearing it live is another plus.

I've never known anyone who thinks this isn't well worth hearing.

what's the sound quality on this?

[Dan Gould]

Perfectly fine.

Now we can download all of Hank Mobley's Septet at Birdland April 21 1958. Even though it's titled "Another Monday Night At Birdland". All on ITunes. Great to hear both sets with Symphony Sid.

Several years ago, I wrote to Mosaic to suggest a reissue of the two Roulette albums with any additional material available. The answer was noncommittal.

Glad that Fresh Sound did reissue the two LPs. The first LP was title 'Monday Night at Birdland', the second one was titled 'Another Monday Night at Birdland'.

Several years ago, I wrote to Mosaic to suggest a reissue of the two United Artists albums with any additional material available. The answer was noncommittal.

The original LP's were on Roulette, not United Artists. It is unusual that Mosaic or Blue Note didn't issue these, but I guess Fresh Sounds beat them to the punch a long time ago.

Thanks ! You beat me to it.

Oops, another case of too much Armagnac after lunch

I have corrected my post!

How is this listed on iTunes? I only see the first disc.

[Brad]

Another thumbs up on these two discs.

[Dave James]

While I wouldn't characterize these two discs as being Yet Another Workout or Soul Station II, they are very serviceable and I'm glad I have them.

I am on Itunes Canada. A few months ago I bought "Monday Night At Birdland" which has the following tracks : "Walkin', All The Things You Are, Bag's Groove and There Will Never Be Another You". The album cover art shows Hank sitting and holding his saxophone and adjusting his mouthpiece. The release date is Jan 01 2009. Hallmark 2009.

Now six more albums have been added. The album cover art is all the same. Background blue cover, with writings in red. All from 2009 Makin Friends Records. There is

"Monday Night At Birdland" identical to the one I bought above. And there is "Another Monday Night At Birdland" with the following tracks : "It's You Or No One, Jamph, Nutville, and Wee".

Interesting. The others are not available from iTunes USA. They do have 3 additional boots (using the same photo that appears on Hank's "Third Season" BN release) that contain much of his '50's BN work; label name is "Hallmark." For when you care to send the very best, I guess.
