JSngry Posted January 25, 2015 Report Posted January 25, 2015 As I recall from back in the day, the Reggie Lucas and Hubert Eaves titles were a jazz-rock/funky-disco blend that wasn't very distinctive. Certainly nothing like Miles; more like Stanley Clarke wannabes. One side of the Reggie Lucas album was like that, but the other side was a bunch of stuff that is very much in between On The Corner & Get Up With It. I only played that one side once or twice, but the Miles-y stuff I played a lot. On a completely unrelated note, that Air Pocket thing will appeal to anybody who digs hyper-complex Zappa-is fusion material It's a Fowler Brothers project. I cuaght it on a blog, played it once, and put it away Quote

Would love to check out those side two tracks Quote
jazzbo Posted January 25, 2015 Report Posted January 25, 2015 I ordered one with Sam Morrison as a sideman and his as a leader. I know nothing of him, other than reading that he played with Miles in 1975. What is Dune like? I only to my knowledge have heard what he has done with Miles (on bootleg) and liked that. So I'm taking a leap of faith here, have never heard Dune. Quote
felser Posted January 25, 2015 Report Posted January 25, 2015 Any thoughts/dscriptions/pro- or con- recommendations on the Hino titles? Quote
mjzee Posted January 25, 2015 Report Posted January 25, 2015 I heartily recommend the Art Farmer studio albums; this was a great time in his career. In particular, "The Summer Knows" is one of my favorite jazz albums, period. I don't particularly love the "At Boomers" CDs...like too many live sessions of that period, the tunes simply go on for too long, and seem kinda flabby as a result. YMMV. Re the Great Jazz Trio's Village Vanguard sessions: they're all really good, consistently so. There's a really nice balance between Hank Jones's class and classicism, and Carter and Williams's more modern thing and higher energy. They don't let Hank get too sleepy, and he reins in their desire to race off at the tracks. Any thoughts on the Don Friedman and the Ronnie Mathews? Quote
JSngry Posted January 25, 2015 Report Posted January 25, 2015 I'm wondering about those Al Haig sides as well? Quote
mjzee Posted January 25, 2015 Report Posted January 25, 2015 I have one of the Haigs, "Duke 'n' Bird," which I got as an eMusic download back in the day. Nice, almost classical in its arrangements. I suspect that Allen Lowe can speak far more knowledgeably about the music, but I did enjoy it. I placed an order with CDJapan for the Sam Jones, Hank Jones Hanky Panky, the Tristano and The Pentagon. In addition, I got Attila Zoller - When It's Time and Eddie Costa - House of Blue Lights. The new exchange rate is kinda nice. Quote
felser Posted January 26, 2015 Report Posted January 26, 2015 The new exchange rate is kinda nice. What did your cost work out to per CD? Quote
colinmce Posted January 26, 2015 Report Posted January 26, 2015 I bought the Togashi Spiritual Nature on pre-order for $8.48. Quote
mjzee Posted January 26, 2015 Report Posted January 26, 2015 The new exchange rate is kinda nice. What did your cost work out to per CD? With shipping, $68.97 for the 6 titles. (I had about $1.50 worth of points in there too.) Quote

SMB1968 Posted January 26, 2015 Report Posted January 26, 2015 I picked up 9 of the East Winds from CD Japan for a paltry $106 (including shipping) -- I'm not sure I could buy them in the U.S. for that much. b Quote
Clunky Posted January 26, 2015 Report Posted January 26, 2015 Don Friedman's "Hope for tomorrow " is really good . Al Haig's "Chelsea Bridge" I recall as being a bit dull. I'll spin both LPs this afternoon to check Quote

Head Man Posted January 27, 2015 Report Posted January 27, 2015 (don friedman - hope for tomorrow) Didn't think a lot of this track when I listened to it... perhaps the rest of the album is better. Quote
Jay Posted January 29, 2015 Report Posted January 29, 2015 (edited) Are you guys that have these very low total costs going for the cheap shipping option? The reason I ask is that I broke down and bought some of those SHM BN discs and shipping got a little pricey (bec I used fedex and wanted to be sure that all went well for my first order from them). Want to place a larger order but don't want to get killed on the shipping. Edited January 29, 2015 by Jay Quote
mjzee Posted January 29, 2015 Report Posted January 29, 2015 I just do the cheapest shipping option. Arrives via US Mail in about 10 days, no problem here. Wait till you see the way they pack their boxes...pristine. Quote
Jay Posted January 29, 2015 Report Posted January 29, 2015 Thanks - that one order I did (via fedex) was damn impressive. Also, damn all you enablers on this thread. Quote
JSngry Posted January 29, 2015 Report Posted January 29, 2015 Just noticed Joe Sample The Three on this list. That's a very nice "modern straight-ahead" session, nothing at all like his or The Crusaders' work of the times (not that there's anything wrong with that, but, you know, some people might worry).

I remember stumbling across that album once, I saw The Three and excitedly pulled it out of the rack only to discover it had nothing to do with The Three Sounds or Gene Harris. Man was I pissed.

The other 2/3 being Ray Brown and Shelly Manne. It is a nice, straight-ahead session. A little short, though, since it was originally a direct-to-disc. But really, you could do a lot worse. (It was probably titled just "The Three" because of contractual reasons re Sample.) Quote
