[brownie]

Coleman Hawkins

Miles Davis

[CJ Shearn]

Trane, Prez, Johnny Griffin, maybe Lee Morgan, fire to balance things.

[Big Beat Steve]

Certainly NOT Lionel Hampton. It was only mediocre the other way round ....

[Son-of-a-Weizen]

So, was Bernie's Tune absent from the original LP and only added later to the cd release? Why's that?

[jazzbo]

I think it might have been on a PJ compilation album before hand.

I think that Geru added to the Farmer group with Jim Hall would have been an interesting blend.

Here's one of the albums featuring all three:

Miles Davis

Man, yeah. What a front line this would have made ca. 1957. Just Miles, Gerry, Red, PC and PJJ.

[carnivore]

Also a nice album with Scott Hamilton on Concord

Gerry Mulligan Meets Just About Everyone of Note (250-disc box set.)

Listened to the Konitz last week. Very enjoyable, made only more so by Chet Baker.

Yes, but there's been no "Meets Art Farmer Quartet". . . would have been different. A nice studio date with Art and Gerry both featured in front of that rhythm section.

It might have put me to sleep. Not a bad thing.

I used to have that on LP and wasn't feeling it. My tastes have changed since; who knows, I might enjoy it more now.

[AllenLowe]

interesting thing about that Mulligan Meets Konitz is how significantly better the LP (one of those '70 Bluenote gatefold twofers) sounds. Way better. Don't know if it was the source or bad digital conversion.

[Chuck Nessa]

Better than which cd version? I've had at least 2.

The lp version you issue was at least the 3rd lp edition in the US.

[AllenLowe]

the CD version that I heard was the one above here, with the mosaic on the cover.

[JSngry]

So, was Bernie's Tune absent from the original LP and only added later to the cd release? Why's that?

My CD says it was first issued on the Mosaic Mulligan/Baker box. Why, I have no idea.

I first heard the material (some of it, anyway) on PLLP-2, a 10" job with the quartet on one side & Konitz added on the flip.

The I got this one, the same material as on the one originally pictured, but repackaged for the late-60s market:

The 2-LP set I never got, just becuase there was some studio/larger group/more-arranged stuff I didn't really care for all that much.

But the real meat for me is the straight-up quintet stuff where Konitz has pretty much the whole show. Some of his strongest/most striking playing ever, imo. He's in that zone.

[AllenLowe]

yes, great Konitz, and that last pic is the LP double set that I have in excellent sound - don't know about the other LPS.

Ahhh, I see. Okay, thanks. Seems like a fair number of Revelation copies floating about over at eBay.

Another Mulligan question please. I have a beat vinyl copy of and would like to pick up the cd version. The material is on the 2-cd Lonehill set (which I don't want because I already have 'Mainstream of Jazz') ....and it appears as though the only other way to get it is to pick up the Membran disc. This true?
