The important thing there was to get the early 2000s RVG reissue that pitch corrected the McMaster 1990ish reissue . Yeah, but that advice wasn't worth much ~1993. Just a "heads up" - the fact that the 1990 CD was off pitch was not well known. In fact, the Penguin Guide of the day rated "Cool Blues" as one of Jimmy's top-rated CDs at the time. It turns out that this pitch problem was why that CD was deleted in the first place. Quote

I'm not the biggest JOS fan, with many of his recordings leaving me cold but Cool Blues is superb. Absolutely love it... Quote
danasgoodstuff Posted July 24, 2020 Report Posted July 24, 2020 I love JOS, have all the BNs now (I think) and I agree that Cool Blues is something special, only reason it wasn't released right away is that they recorded a big pile of JOS and doled it out slowly after he left the label. And I think the sound has some rough edges, IIRC. Quote
mjzee Posted July 24, 2020 Report Posted July 24, 2020 Cuscuna's original liner notes stated "The material from this session was never issued. The reason was probably not the music, which was excellent, but the fact that it was recorded only in mono at a time when stereo was growing rapidly." Quote
Son Of Ice Bag Posted July 24, 2020 Report Posted July 24, 2020 (edited) My favourite Jimmy Smith Cover! It has nothing to do with Frank Wolff or Reid Miles. It is from Akiyoshi Miyashita. Edited July 24, 2020 by Son Of Ice Bag Quote
JSngry Posted July 24, 2020 Report Posted July 24, 2020 One of the best, most evocative LT covers as well: Quote
DMP Posted July 24, 2020 Report Posted July 24, 2020 There are some corrections to Colinmce’s list, I’d need to take some time to go over it, but the first item (Donald Byrd) did have a domestic CD release, as did many others. (The CD era began in the mid-80’s, and a lot of stuff came - and went - quickly, easy to miss.) Quote
BFrank Posted July 25, 2020 Report Posted July 25, 2020 Not totally clear on the concept, but this 3 CD box has a relatively high value on Discogs Quote

I visited the Lighthouse on a number of occasions in the late 1990s. A most interesting experience ! Although the layout had changed since its heyday, there was a big old wooden band stage - I recognised its somewhat boomy characteristics from recordings such as this one. Jazz archaeology !
