Dewey Redman

[bertrand]

We discussed this obscure record a few years back but I can't find the thread. Does anyone have titles, date, etc.? Did anyone ever scare up a copy?

Thanks,

Bertrand.

Have not found it, not even in BlogLand.

I wasn't aware of this album, but I've never forgiven myself for not picking up Eddie Bo's New Orleans Piano Riffs for DJs when I saw it in a stack of used LPs 20 years ago. I didn't quite get what it was, and money was tight - oh, well....

[bertrand]

Thanks for digging up the cover - love the look on Dewey's face!

I bet they're something interesting going on on this record, regardless of what it is.

Bertrand.

P.S.: Oh wait, there's a phone number.

What the hell - I'll try to call. Has anyone else already tried?

The unavailable LP has 6 tracks (plus a ringtone!): Redman 1 (Parts 1-6). There also seems to be a compilation called Riffmania 1 with two (other?) tracks by Dewey: Dewey Redman 7 and Dewey Redman 8. This one seems to be available.

Update: I called, and they may be offering downloads soon. I'll call theme periodically to check the status of this.

They played a little bit of the first track for me over the phone. It sounded like it could have been a variation on 'Turn Over Baby'. I'm getting more and more curious. The LP is only about 20 minutes or so.

Speaking of Dewey, and I'm sure this as been discussed before, but has anyone heard the session from 1968 (?) ostensibly cut for Blue Note with Joe McPhee and David Izenzon?

[colinmce]

Whoa, I wish. Any more info on that one?

[CJ Shearn]

Hmm, so Dewey did sort of a live sampling record for DJ's? That should be really, really intriguing.

I seem to recall the personnel is correct, but it was not done for Blue Note. The music is fantastic.

[clifford_thornton]

Yeah, personnel is correct after listening. It does not seem like all three drummers are on every track. I hear lots of Ali and Moore.

[JSngry]

It is a short LP.

I never heard back from them and forgot all about this.

They played a little bit for me over the phone and one of the tracks sounded like 'Turn Over Baby'.

Were you able to get a copy?

Bertrand.

[JSngry]

I still do not have the LP, but have sent you an email through the board.

Edited November 27, 2011 by JSngry

[bertrand]

E-mail received, thanks.

Bertrand.

[bertrand]

If you go to the label's site (see Jim's link), you will see that an MP3 of the whole LP is now available for $4.50.
