Jon King Posted February 14, 2023 Report Share Posted February 14, 2023 (edited) Yep, one of those MMO albums, in this case, featuring selfless souls such as Milton Delugg, Billy Butterfield, Don Lamond, and other studio gems laying down the skeletons of Swing as they swang hard. As Dick Gibson frequently said, "I could get this band work in Jersey." Edited February 14, 2023 by Jon King Spelling elision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted February 15, 2023 Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 Those records are a discograper's dream... or nightmare! Before there were Aebersold records, the was Music Minus One. I grew up on them! Well, musically I did. Hey, talk about learning about section playing when there was no section around... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasing the Korean Posted February 15, 2023 Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 My mom had the MMO Bacharach for the Ladies, arranged by Jack Six, for female vocalists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon King Posted February 15, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 4 hours ago, JSngry said: Well, this looks interesting. Are the tunes still requested? I like Mehldau’s Hendrix and Beatles tracks, for example. Once requested “High Heeled Sneakers” during a set at a bbq blues place in Kansas City, and The Rest Is History thanks to Linda Schell and her Blues Thang.

JSngry Posted February 15, 2023 Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 Those MMO records were all standards. Some are still played, some not so much. Still, they're a great way to both learn tunes and to get exposed to same. for example: they all included lead sheet w/lyrics for C, Eb, and Bb instruments.

You would shine a light on the strobe to be sure the record was turning at the right speed, especially important if speed differences resulted in your instrument not being in tune with the record.
