AllenLowe Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 yeah, gotta have it, though I am becoming increasingly pessimistic about the chances of it emerging during my lifetime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stereojack Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 yeah, gotta have it, though I am becoming increasingly pessimistic about the chances of it emerging during my lifetime. Sunenblick claims that the 1940's material is too short for a CD release, and he is looking for something to add to it. I lent him and unlisted 78 by Jaki, and he has yet to return it.

AllenLowe Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 well, it should come out, and sorry about your 78 - did he indicate how many minutes of stuff he has? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stereojack Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 well, it should come out, and sorry about your 78 - did he indicate how many minutes of stuff he has? I think it was something in the ballpark of 25-30 minutes. He played it for me way back when, and I seem to recall it bought Tatum to mind.

John Tapscott Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 (edited) Don't ask me. I've been threatened with a lawsuit if I say anything about Uptown. Even something positive and in today's terms, "affirming"? (although I somehow doubt that is the gist of it!!! ) Must say that I have a number of Uptown CD's and am positive to very positive about all of them. Wish they would re-issue that Frank Wess/Johnny Coles "Two at the Top" date. It's a dandy. Edited February 16, 2011 by John Tapscott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stereojack Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 When the original partners Bob Sunenblick and Mark Feldman split, several of the titles ended up with Feldman. He has issued some of them on his Reservoir label: Uptown 27.09 JR Monterose = Reservoir 109 27.16 Pepper Adams = Reservoir 113 27.17 Don Sickler = Reservoir 111 27.21 Buddy Tate = Reservoir 110 27.22 Joe Puma = Reservoir 102 27.24 Peter Leitch = Reservoir 118 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllenLowe Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 (edited) I heard some of the Schildkraut date; Dave played a cassette for me a long time ago (musta been the late '70s?). I think it was Hod Obrien on piano, and Leroy Williams on drums, though I'm not sure. The rhythm section did not jell, and Dave was a hard guy to play with (he liked to turn the beat around and see if the rhythm could stay in the right place; sort of a musical game of chicken). I can't remember the bass player, unfortunately, and I don't think it sounded real bad, but that was 35 years ago. I wish somebody would bootleg it. (thinking about it - Ben Brown on bass? possibly....) I was also at the Dickey Wells date (Dick Katz was on piano) - weird thing about that was that they put out the lesser takes; Dickey sounded way better on the stuff they kept in the can.
