sonnymax Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 That's not the TCB by Peter Schmidlin, right? No, not at all. This was a budget American outfit that reissued several dates originally released on the Warwick label, often in a rather shoddy manner. In addition to the aforementioned editing of some tracks, TCB typically renamed the albums, omitted personnel information, and even changed the titles of some songs. Here are some of their releases: Freddie Hubbard, Curtis Fuller, Yusef Lateef – Gettin' It Together (TCB 1001)aka Curtis Fuller – Boss Of The Soul-Stream Trombone (Warwick W2038) Donald Byrd With Herbie Hancock – Takin' Care Of Business (TCB 1002)aka Pepper Adams Donald Byrd Quintet – Out Of This World (Warwick W 2041) Booker Little & Booker Ervin – Sounds Of Inner City (TCB 1003)aka The Teddy Charles New Directions Quartet – Metronome Presents Jazz In The Garden At The Museum Of Modern Art (Warwick W 2033) Donald Byrd & Booker Little – The Third World (TCB 1004)aka Various Artists – The Soul Of Jazz Percussion (Warwick W 5003) This album is comprised of two 1960 dates led by the Armando Peraza Septet and the Earl Zindars Sextet. In addition to Little and Byrd, the personnel includes Curtis Fuller, Pepper Adams, Don Ellis, Bill Evans, Mal Waldron, Paul Chambers, and Philly Joe Jones. Herbie Hancock – Jammin' With Herbie Hancock (TCB 1006)aka Pepper Adams Donald Byrd Quintet – Out Of This World (Warwick W 2041). Yeah, they already reissued this material on (TCB 1002), but here they edited and renamed all the tracks. Andrew Hill – So In Love (TCB 1006)same as Andrew Hill – So In Love (Warwick W 2002) There were also some compilations issued, including one featuring Billie Holiday and another entitled “Super Sax”.

johnblitweiler Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 Earlier today the radio played some really sweet medium-tempo Zoot Sims on alto sax. I thought it was Desmond until the disk jockey named the record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 Thanks a lot for filling in all these details, sonnymax! Whacky stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JETman Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 (edited) Each of those 5 Warwicks listed above was released in a decent enough sounding version by Fresh Sound. Most importantly, each of those versions is true to its original in terms of content and personnel. FWIW, The Soul of Jazz Percussion was produced by Teddy Charles.

JSngry Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 Andrew Hill – So In Love (TCB 1006)same as Andrew Hill – So In Love (Warwick W 2002) Not exactly the same...the TCB has some odd occasional (and consistently odd) string machine overdubs in spots. Still haven't figured out where, when, or how that happened. Also don't remember for sure, but think the TCB might have put one cout on there by some Ramsey Lewis clone. Not sure about that, though, and not gonna go to the shelves to compare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 I think you're right about non-Hill material being on the Hill "reissue." Definitely the string crap is on there. [shudder] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjzee Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 That would be a good Mosaic set: the complete Warwick sessions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Kart Posted October 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 Earlier today the radio played some really sweet medium-tempo Zoot Sims on alto sax. I thought it was Desmond until the disk jockey named the record. There's some lovely Zoot on alto from the late '50s, including the deliriously inventive, multi-tracked "Zoot Sims Plays Four Altos" (ABC-Paramount), which was preceded by another album on the same label where his alto work is not multi-tracked, in case that idea scare you off. I'm also fond of his alto work on John Benson Brooks' "Folk Jazz U.S.A.," with Al Cohn on baritone. Here they all be: John Benson Brooks Septet Nick Travis (trumpet) Zoot Sims (alto saxophone) Al Cohn (baritone saxophone) John Benson Brooks (piano, arranger, conductor) Barry Galbraith (guitar) Buddy Jones (bass) Osie Johnson (drums) NYC, November 1, 1956 G4PB8105 Venezuela Vik LX 1083 G4PB8106 Saro Jane - G4PB8107 Black Is The Color - G4PB8108 Turtle Dove - * Vik LX 1083 John Benson Brooks - Folk Jazz U.S.A.

Larry Kart Posted October 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 This one, too, Larry: Pretty darn good session! Thanks -- didn't know of it, ordered it. This Castro-led session with Teddy Edwards, Leroy Vinnegar, and Billy Higgins is very nice: http://www.amazon.com/Groove-Funk-Soul-Joe-Castro/dp/B009ZH4LI6/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1412527248&sr=1-1&keywords=joe+castro+-+groove+funk+soul IIRC, as the "Falcon Lair" title suggest, Castro was a close associate of Doris Duke at the time. He could play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 Yeah, and this one's very nice as well! I think the photo is from one of those sessions, the liners tell a bit about it all - relaxed jam sessions and that night, luckily, tape was rolling.
