colinmce Posted June 11, 2010 Report Posted June 11, 2010 Oh yeah, definitely don't miss Smokestack. My favorite Hill session, and maybe my favorite piano "trio" session as well. Magnificent. Quote
Kyo Posted June 11, 2010 Report Posted June 11, 2010 The RVG of Smokestack is a major sonic improvement over the old Conn. Don't say that, I need to cut down on my CD expenses! Quote
king ubu Posted June 14, 2010 Report Posted June 14, 2010 (edited) How's the King Cole Box? The Complete Capitol Transcription Session Of The King Cole Trio (3 CDs) $38.98 I'm tempted by this one, although I really can't afford it right now. It's strictly instrumental, isn't it? No, it's just the trio with Cole on piano & vocals. The set is very good, but it's been some time that I played it and honestly I don't remember how many of the 71 titles are instrumentals. Cuscuna puts it like this: As these sessions tended to be more relaxed, many of the masters were achieved in one take. Transcription sessions also contained a higher percentage of instrumentals, often including jazz tunes that the trio might not otherwise have recorded. Cole dips zealously into the Basie book and even inclused a staple of the Art Tatum Trio - which Tatum never got around to recording - Tiny Grimes' Tiny's Exercise. (...) It is my biased view that anything by the King Cole Trio is worth hearing and savoring, but these Capitol sessions - with the emphasis on Cole's piano and with the variations of well-known performances - are particularly rewarding. ~ Michael Cuscuna (from the booklet of King Cole Trio - Transcriptions) The booklet, btw, is designed fancily but ultimately contains little of interest. Discs 1 and 2 are entirely by the Cole-Moore-Miller trio (1946-47), disc three is by Cole-Ashby-Miller (#1-6, late 1947) and by Cole-Ashby-Comfort-Constanzo (#7-23, two sessions, 1949-26 and 1950-03-09). I found the box rather cheaply in a store here when it came out (2005) - I'd say get it if the price is right! Edited June 14, 2010 by king ubu Quote
Tom 1960 Posted June 15, 2010 Report Posted June 15, 2010 It appears although I could be wrong, that Grant Green's "Live At The Lighthouse" has been deleted. After recently hearing this on lala.com, I was curious about it's availability. On Amazon's website, it appears only through Amazon Marketplace available new from 4 overseas sellers. 1 from Switzerland, 3 from the UK. I purchased a used copy for just under $6 plus shipping from a seller in California. If you've been interested in this release, you might wish to move quickly. Quote

jazzbo Posted June 19, 2010 Author Report Posted June 19, 2010 I wouldn't like to be without 'Serenade To A Soul Sister' and 'Bluish Bag' I feel that way as well. Quote
jazzbo Posted June 19, 2010 Author Report Posted June 19, 2010 The most enticing things to me on this list are the Ammons/Lewis, Bechet, and Cole box. I guess that shows how much my tastes have changed since joining this board. Those are all good selections. I have all but the Cole, which I have in another form. Quote

True Blue Music managed to secure a quantity of many of these titles, but that stock is limited. Here's what we still have available, although please understand that supplies are low. SINGLE CDs - DELETED TITLES; LIMITED STOCK! Cannonball Adderley - Cannonball Takes Charge $12.98 This 1959 album is a relaxed studio quartet date featuring the great pianist Wynton Kelly. Cannonball took this opportunity to delve into some great standards that show off his incredible grasp of Charlie Parker's style. Includes two alternate takes. Albert Ammons & Meade Lux Lewis - The First Day $12.98 Eighteen solos and duets from the masters of boogie woogie piano. Blue Note's first recording session, January 6, 1939. Includes 8 solos by Lewis, 9 by Ammons and 2 duets. Chet Baker & Art Pepper - The Route $12.98 The first studio encounter by Chet and Art Pepper, this session was frustratingly scattered over half a dozen different Pacific Jazz albums until all 11 tunes were gathered on this CD. With Richie Kamuca, Pete Jolly, Leroy Vinnegar and Stan Levey. Chet Baker And Crew $12.98 This Crew, a quintet with Phil Urso and Bobby Timmons, was one of Chet's hardest-swinging groups, with great tunes by Gerry Mulligan, Al Cohn, Miles Davis and others. Six bonus tracks have been added to the original LP's eight selections. Chet Baker Sextet $12.98 This September 1954 date features Bob Brookmeyer and Bud Shank playing baritone sax with arrangements by Jack Montrose, Johnny Mandel and Bill Holman Completing this CD is a remarkable 1957 session composed and arranged by Bob Zieff and previously only available in a Baker box set. Chet Baker Sings And Plays $12.98 Baker's second vocal album was done in 1955. The crown jewels of this album however are "This Is Always", "Someone To Watch Over Me", "I Wish I Knew" and "Grey December" with a cello quartet and artful arrangements which clearly inspire Chet to dig deep for some of his finest vocals on record. The Fabulous Sidney Bechet $15.98 Bechet's two final sessions for Blue Note in 1951 and '53 feature Sidney De Paris and Jonah Jones and focus on the great New Orleans jazz classics. Both sessions were originally recorded on tape and have been remastered using 24-bit super bit mapping for superb fidelity. Includes five alternate takes Kenny Burrell At The Five Spot Café $12.98 A 1959 live date at the legendary club, with Art Blakey driving a band that includes Tina Brooks and alternating pianists, Bobby Timmons and Roland Hanna. Includes three bonus tracks. Donald Byrd - Free Form (RVG Remaster) $12.98 From the soulful "Pentacostal Feelin'" to the beautiful Hancock ballad "Night Flower" to the tricky title tune, this quintet album Hancock and Wayne Shorter stands out of one of Donald Byrd's finest in his five-decade career. Donald Byrd - Fuego (RVG Remaster) $12.98 This 1959 quintet session with Jackie McLean, Duke Pearson, Doug Watkins and Lex Humphries features great tunes and great playing. Byrd uses a pocket trumpet for this album, giving him a brighter, more distinctive sound. Serge Chaloff - Blue Serge $12.98 This is his finest album, recorded in 1956 with Sonny Clark, Leroy Vinnegar and Philly Joe Jones. The bonus track "How About You" completes the session. Paul Chambers - Whims Of Chambers $12.98 The 1956 debut album with by this astonishing bassist features John Coltrane (tenor saxophone); Donald Byrd (trumpet); Horace Silver (piano); Kenny Burrell (guitar) and Philly Joe Jones (drums). Nat King Cole - Best of The Trio (Vocal 1942-46) $15.98 The trio's greatest success came from its inventive arrangements of vocal classics. This CD captures the first edition of the trio with Oscar Moore and Johnny Miller and classics like "Straighten Up And Fly Right," "Sweet Lorraine" and "Route 66." Onrette Coleman - At The Golden Circle, Stockholm, Vol 2 (RVG Remaster) $12.98 On Ornette first European tour, producer Francis Wolff met this trio in Stockholm and recorded them for two nights at the Golden Circle performing eight new compositions. Rudy Van Gelder has returned to the original tapes to remaster these gems. In the process, three previously unissued alternate takes have been added to Volume Two. Eric Dolphy - Illinois Concert $12.98 The hitherto unknown performance by Eric Dolphy's quartet with Herbie Hancock is a major find. Recorded live at the University of Illinois on March 10, 1963, Dolphy is in peak form, especially on the beautiful bass clarinet tour-de-force "God Bless The Child" and his searing alto sax on "Iron Man". Kenny Dorham - Trompeta Toccata (RVG Remaster) $12.98 Tompeta Toccatta, made in September 1964 would be the final recorded collaboration by Dorham and Hoe Henderson. This one features soulful, but challenging originals and brilliant solo work from all. "Night Watch" is a bluesy, lyrical masterpiece. Art Farmer - Modern Art $12.98 This 1958 sextet date is one of Farmer's best with Benny Golson (tenor saxophone), Bill Evans (piano). Addison Farmer (bass), Dave Bailey (drums). Johnny Griffin - The Congregation (RVG Remaster) $12.98 This quartet date with Sonny Clark, Paul Chambers and Kenny Dennis is a relaxed mature affair that ranges from the gospely title tune to a beautiful "I'm Glad There Is You" and an uptempo "It's You Or No One." Added to the original album is "I Remember "You," a bonus track from the session. Herbie Hancock - My Point Of View (RVG Remaster) $12.98 This album, which features Blue Note stalwarts Donald Byrd, Hank Mobley and Grant Green, also introduced Tony Williams to the jazz world. The compositions show the range and depth of this young pianist-composer who was just weeks away from joining Miles Davis's quintet. Andrew Hill - Smokestack (RVG Remaster) $12.98 "Smoke Stack" was the second of four masterpieces that composer/pianist Andrew Hill made during his first months with Blue Note. Unique in his discography, this December 13, 1963 session features bassists Richard Davis and Eddie Khan and drummer Roy Haynes. Includes four alternate takes. Andrew Hill - Passing Ships (Connoisseur Series) $14.98 This amazing 1969 nonet session, released here for the first time, features spectacular writing by Hill. The instrumentation is one reed (doubling on tenor, soprano, alto flute and English horn), two trumpets, trombone, French horn, tuba (doubling on bass clarinet), piano, bass and drums. Joe Farrell, Woody Shaw, Dizzy Reece, Julian Priester and Hill are the principal soloists, and the compositions are varied and inventive. A real find Andrew Hill - Pax (Connoisseur Series) $14.98 This February 1965 date with Freddie Hubbard, Joe Henderson, Richard Davis and Joe Chambers finds Hill during his first peak era, but the results did not surface until five tunes were issued on a 1975 double album entitled "One For One." Andrew Hill - Change (Connoisseur Series) $14.98 Andrew Hill's only recording in 1966 was his working band with Sam Rivers, Walter Booker and J.C. Moses is featured. The music is powerful and adventurous. Two very different alternate takes have been added to the original album. Bobby Hutcherson - The Kicker (Connoisseur Series) $14.98 Hutcherson's previously unissued first session, recorded on December 29, 1963 with the same band that made Grant Green's "Idle Moments". This set features the first versions of Joe Henderson's "The Kicker" and "Step Lightly", Joe Chambers's "Mirrors" and Duke Pearson's "Bedouin". Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra Live At The Village Vanguard $12.98 TJones almost single-handedly brought the big band into the modern age with this organization. Swung hard by Mel Lewis's drums, the band sailed through the complex charts of Jones and Bob Brookmeyer with panache. Soloists include Brookmeyer, Jones, Richard Williams, Jerome Richardson and Joe Farrell. Thad Jones - Detroit-New York Junction (RVG Remaster) $12.98 Thad Jones leads an excellent sextet on his March 13, 1956 Blue Note debut with Billy Mitchell, Kenny Burrell and Tommy Flanagan representing his hometown of Detroit and Oscar Pettiford and Shadow Wilson representing New York. Jackie McLean - Jackie's Bag (RVG Remaster) $12.98 In terms of composition, leadership and playing, this is probably Jackie McLean's greatest album, culled from two different sessions, separated by 20 months. Three bonus tracks complete the sextet session with Tina Brooks and Blue Mitchell. Hank Mobley - The Turnaround (RVG Remaster) $12.98 Mobley and Freddie Hubbard team up on four tunes including "Straight Ahead" and "Pat 'N Chat" while Donald Byrd and Herbie Hancock appear on "The Good Life" and "East Of The Village". Wes Montgomery - Finger Pickin' $12.98 Wes's first album session, with brothers Buddy and Monk and Freddie Hubbard (his first too) on CD for the first time, with bonus tracks from The Mastersounds "Kismet" session featuring Wes. Ike Quebec - It Might As Well Be Spring (RVG Remaster) $12.98 Quebec with Freddie Roach, Milt Hinton and Al Harewood, made this album immediately after "Heavy Soul" and it is every bit the classic the first album proved to be. Quebec's big-toned, vulnerable tenor playing is a thing to behold. Horace Silver Trio (RVG Remaster) $12.98 All 16 seminal recordings from Silver's initial trio sessions (1952-53) Gene Ramey, Percy Heath or Curly Russell (bass) and Art Blakey (drums). Horace Silver - Serenade To A Soul Sister (RVG Remaster) $12.98 Horace Silver - Serenade To A Soul Sister (RVG Remaster) $12.98 With this album, Horace Silver introduced his new group with Charles Tolliver, Bennie Maupin and Billy Cobham, recorded his only encounter with Stanley Turrentine and added two more future jazz standards ("Psychedelic Sally" and the title tune) to his arsenal. Horace Silver - Silver's Serenade (RVG Remaster) $12.98 This is the last album by the great quintet that featured Blue Mitchell, Junior Cook, Gene Taylor and Roy Brooks, recorded in May 1963. From the strolling, minor-blues title track to the funky "Let's Get To The Nitty Gritty" to the exotic "Dragon Lady," this is vintage, classic Horace at his best. Horace Silver - The Stylings Of Silver (RVG Remaster) $12.98 Although this edition of Silver's quintet did not last long, Art Farmer and Hank Mobley proved to be two of the most empathetic and mature soloists to interpret the pianist's masterful compositions. Jimmy Smith - Softly As A Summer Breeze (RVG Remaster) $12.98 This trio album features Kenny Burrell and Philly Joe Jones on the first four tracks including a great version of Monk's "Hackensack." Added to the album are four tunes with singer Bill Henderson. Jimmy Smith - Six Views Of The Blues (Connoisseur Series) $14.98 With Cecil Payne, Kenny Burrell and Art Blakey, this organ master digs into 6 very different views of the blues. Jimmy Smith - Straight Life (Connoisseur Series) $14.98 Recently released here for the first time, is Jimmy Smith's only studio recording in 1961 with his working trio and an interesting mix of original blues and standards with a version of Coleman Hawkins' "Stuffy" thrown in for good measure. Stanley Turrentine - A Bluish Bag (Connoisseur Series) $14.98 Duke Pearson arranged the two sessions that appear in full on this CD. The material ranges from blues to standards to sambas and Turrentine as the prime soloist is superb throughout. The first session was issued piecemeal years later, but the second session is previously unreleased. Donald Byrd, Kenny Barron and McCoy get solo space as well. MULTI- DISC SETS - DELETED TITLES; LIMITED STOCK! TWO-DISC SETS Louis Armstrong & Duke Ellington - The Great Summitt Complete Sessions This newly remixed 2 CD set contains all 17 master takes on one disc and almost an hour of previously unissued alternate takes, rehearsals and fascinating conversations between Louis and Duke. An absolute historical must with better sound than ever! This April 1961 encounter brought together the two most influential men in jazz. Chet Baker & Stan Getz - West Coast Live $24.98 These two CDs contain all of the material recorded by Chet and Stan at the Haig in 1953, where Getz briefly subbed for Gerry Mulligan in the pianoless quartet. Also included are three extended performances taped a year later with Russ Freeman on piano and Shelly Manne on drums. Kenny Burrell - Blue Lights Vols. 1 & 2 $24.98 Kenny Burrell's classic Blue Note jam session with the tenors of Tina Brooks and Junior Cook, trumpeter Louis Smith and Art Blakey, complete in stereo on CD for the first time. Added to the two original LPs is the bonus track "I Never Knew." Introducing Kenny Burrell (Connoisseur Series) $26.98 The first two complete sessions on this set are from 1956 and comprise "Introducing" and "Vol. 2", his first albums. Sidemen include Frank Foster, Tommy Flanagan and Oscar Pettiford. The third session, a year later, includes Hank Mobley, Horace Silver, Doug Watkins and Louis Hayes. Only one 45 came out in the U.S., but an album of the date was briefly issued in Japan. Donald Byrd At The Half Note Café Vols. 1 & 2 (RVG Remaster) $26.98 The two live albums that Byrd and Pepper Adams made at The Half Note Café in 1961 were their crowning achievement artistically and commercially. Four lengthy selections have been added to the original albums on this 2-CD set. Joe Henderson - The State Of The Tenor $22.98 Possibly the greatest recording by this inventive tenor saxophone master. Accompanied only by Ron Carter and Al Foster, Joe explores standards, originals and jazz tunes by Sam Rivers, Charles Mingus, Horace Silver and others. A masterpiece! BOX SETS All 71 studio performances by the trio with Oscar Moore (CD 1 & 2) and Irving Ashby (CD 3) recorded between 1946 and '50. The 31 instrumentals include Basie tunes ("Lester Leaps In", "Rock-a-Bye Basie", "Swingin' The Blues" and "One O'Clock Jump") and Tiny Grimes' "Tiny's Exercise". There are also alternate versions of hits like "Route 66" and "Baby, Baby, All The Time". Superb music. Jimmy Smith - Retrospective (4 CDs) $59.98 From 1956 to '63, the father of the modern jazz organ was one of the most prolific artists on Blue Note. This set captures 38 classic highlights of those years through his trio sessions, quartets with Lou Donaldson and Stanley Turrentine and all-star sextets with Donald Byrd, Lee Morgan, Curtis Fuller, Jackie McLean, Hank Mobley, Tina Brooks, Ike Quebec, Kenny Burrell, Art Blakey and others. An amazing body of work. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (Please note do not reply to this email.

Kevin Bresnahan Posted June 21, 2010 Report Posted June 21, 2010 So editing that down to "classic" Blue Note single CDs, there have been 128 titles deleted. Since several of them combine multiple titles into a single package, there's probably close to 150 classic-era Blue Note titles no longer around.

Daniel A Posted June 21, 2010 Report Posted June 21, 2010 It should be noted that supposedly additional titles have been deleted, as True Blue said that they had been able to secure a quantity of "many" of the deleted titles, not all of them, and then went on to list those still in stock. Quote
Kevin Bresnahan Posted June 21, 2010 Report Posted June 21, 2010 Just for fun, I figured out which of the deleted titles are not in my CD racks. Some are simply because I'm not that big of a fan (Grant Green) or because I think have enough of that artist (Jimmy Smith in a trio setting). Some I owned and sold (George Braith, Taylor's "Conquistador" and McLean's "New And Old Gospel") because I wasn't digging what I heard. So any comments from this list of CDs? Are there any that I really, really should have? Grant Green Blues For Lou (Connoisseur) Grant Green Carryin' On Grant Green - First Session (Connoisseur Series) Grant Green - Live At The Lighthouse Grant Green - Standards Jimmy Smith Bucket Jimmy Smith I'm Movin' On (w/Grant Green) Jimmy Smith - Straight Life (Connoisseur Series) The Three Sounds Live At The Lighthouse George Braith The Complete Blue Note Sessions (Connoisseur Series – 2 CDs) Bud Powell - Bud! The Amazing Bud Powell-Volume 3 (RVG) Cecil Taylor - Conquistador! (RVG) Bobby Hutcherson - Now! Sabu - Palo Congo Jackie McLean - New And Old Gospel (RVG Edition) Horace Silver - You Gotta Take A Little Love (RVG Edition) Horace Silver - United States Of Mind (2 CDs) Lonnie Smith - Turning Point (RVG Edition) Jack McDuff - Down Home Style Albert Ammons & Meade Lux Lewis - The First Day (compilation?) The Fabulous Sidney Bechet (compilation?) Sidney Bechet Runnin' Wild (compilation?) Andrew Hill - Pax (Connoisseur Series) Andrew Hill - Change (Connoisseur Series) Quote
clifford_thornton Posted June 21, 2010 Report Posted June 21, 2010 I'm partial to Conquistador (duh) and the Bud and Braith titles. The Hills are good (have them on wax) as is the Jackie Mac, but I haven't spun them in quite a while. Quote
tranemonk Posted June 21, 2010 Report Posted June 21, 2010 I try to grab any and all Jackie McLean I could.. I've got it... Quote
Dan Gould Posted June 21, 2010 Report Posted June 21, 2010 So any comments from this list of CDs? Are there any that I really, really should have? Grant Green Blues For Lou (Connoisseur) Grant Green - First Session (Connoisseur Series) Grant Green - Standards The Three Sounds Live At The Lighthouse Bud Powell - Bud! The Amazing Bud Powell-Volume 3 (RVG) Horace Silver - You Gotta Take A Little Love (RVG Edition) Lonnie Smith - Turning Point (RVG Edition) Obviously I've eliminated the ones I wouldn't sweat. Not sure if I've noticed you state what it is about Grant but I'd certainly reconsider having First Session for Wynton Kelly, and there's nothing wrong, imho, with the session with Big John. But if Grant really gets on your nerves (is it that repeated note thing?) then I guess you can safely let them disappear. Are you not a Three Sounds fan or was it the incorporation of organ on some tracks that made you get rid of it? I don't care that much for the organ tracks either but the rest of it is pretty hot and tasty, and nice too is the fact that there are so many unissued tracks added. On the Lonnie, you got Lee Morgan. You gotta keep your Lee Morgan recordings. Same with the Bud. And on the Horace, I recently transferred this to CDR and enjoyed it a great deal. Quote
Claude Posted June 21, 2010 Report Posted June 21, 2010 Concerning the availability of the music after these deletions, I wouldn't worry. There are the Amazon CD-R-on demand reissues, and I'm sure that lossless downloads will also become available in the not so far future. Quote
mjzee Posted June 21, 2010 Report Posted June 21, 2010 Kevin, I think you're good, other than the Albert Ammons & Meade Lux Lewis; that's a good 'un. Quote
Kevin Bresnahan Posted June 21, 2010 Report Posted June 21, 2010 I've always been intrigued by Sabu's "Palo Congo". I love Latin percussion, but not exclusively. Is there enough musical content here to make it worthwhile or does it come across as a percussion fakebook? Kevin Quote
Tom 1960 Posted June 21, 2010 Report Posted June 21, 2010 I've read good things about Grant Green's Live At The Lighthouse here on the forum. I ordered a used copy last week. Much more funky than what you may be accustomed from hearing from Grant, if that makes a difference. Quote
Big Wheel Posted June 21, 2010 Report Posted June 21, 2010 (edited) I've always been intrigued by Sabu's "Palo Congo". I love Latin percussion, but not exclusively. Is there enough musical content here to make it worthwhile or does it come across as a percussion fakebook? Kevin I don't know what a "percussion fakebook" is, but this is a very good record as well as an important historical document of Arsenio Rodriguez. That said, it is not a Tito Puente or Mario Bauza album and it may not be your cup of tea. The melodies are carried largely by the vocals and Arsenio Rodriguez's tres, and some of the tracks are close to Afro-Cuban rumbas, with only chanting on top of a percussion section. If you have heard the Marc Ribot Los Cubanos Postizos albums you will likely enjoy this, but don't expect it to sound like jazz + congas. Edited June 21, 2010 by Big Wheel Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted June 21, 2010 Report Posted June 21, 2010 I had an original of "Palo Congo" and loved it. I always thought it was one of Rudy's masterpieces. The cd uses the stereo tapes for the first time and I was bummed. Rudy told me this was the first stereo date for BN. If you don't know the mono, you might love it too. Quote
JSngry Posted June 21, 2010 Report Posted June 21, 2010 Yeah, it could have just as easily been on Pan-Art as Blue Note, musically speaking. Quote
jazzbo Posted June 22, 2010 Author Report Posted June 22, 2010 (edited) Plenty of music in that session, 'tain't just banging. Nor is it hard bop or limp bop or any bop. Edited June 22, 2010 by jazzbo Quote
David Ayers Posted June 22, 2010 Report Posted June 22, 2010 There are still a lot of titles in print compared to those showing in the 1995 Capitol/Blue Note catalog I have here, which shows the first Connoisseur series (beginning of a long line) and just handfuls of titles by each of the BN stalwarts. There's a lot to celebrate about how much has been brought back and circulated, some of it quite inexpensively. I still regret though that the CDs have never done justice to the Blue Note LP sound or to the original masters. The RVG series, in particular, was a huge missed opportunity to do it properly, or at least as well as could be done for CD. Despite that, though, even these deletions from what has been a huge list kept on the market for a smallish number of collectors shouldn't make us go all doom and gloom. There are still more titles out there than 15 years ago and many of the deleted titles will be turning up pre-owned forever. Quote
