Ron S Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 (edited) Lew Blackburn - The Complete Imperial Sessions I had never heard of Blackburn until I read some buzz about this CD and how enjoyable it was. I checked out the sound samples, liked what I heard and picked up a copy which is somewhere in the USPS at this moment. That's a very nice disc--IMO even better than the sound samples would indicate (just like I told you about the Hodges Mosaic ) .

It's on the Basie Roulette Studio Mosaic set. I've also seen Japanese vinyls of it - and the UK issue can also be picked up without too much bother for £5 or so.

papsrus Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 After listening to a newly arrived quartet disc by Hall, pulled the trigger on this one, which features Hall in both quartet and sextet settings with the likes of Milt Hinton and Vic Dickerson: I know nothing about this reissue label -- Mighty Quinn -- but they are said to have high production values.

poetrylover3 Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 I ordered the Baby Face Willette-thanks for the tip on BMG. I'm looking forward to hearing Paul Bley for the first time on Solo in Mondsee and renewing acquaintance with Wes Montgomery's more pop material in the Millennium Collection. Joe Williams' small group Everyday I Have The Blues featuring Thad Jones and Snooky Young looks to be a real treat. I also went crazy this last weekend over that BMG Box Set sale, ordering Charlie Parker, Billie Holiday, Coltrane's Quartet and Village Vanguard Sessions, the two Sinatra boxes, Ray Charles' Atlantic Soul Sessions. In Rock I ordered the Complete Led Zeplin and Citizen Steely Dan sets. For Classical I pulled the trigger on Bruckner, Martha Argerich & Friends, Mozart Symphonies, Jacqueline DuPre, Mitsuko Uchida's Schubert. Now where I'll get the time to listen to it all...

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 While my PC was down, the postman brought me A wonderful album! Similar personnel to the band in the eighties, with a few changes. Mmah Sylla is still singing with them. But there are a few guests, including the great Aminata Kamissoko, one of my favourites. I suspect this may be the first time she's been heard on CD. The music is somewhat updated, but not too much, and the band is still playing great music! I also got Been meaning to get this for a while, following recommendations in the SA Jazz thread. Very nice stuff. And I see that one of the guys in the band, Ntemi Piliso, is someone I picked out blind a few weeks ago and ordered two of his 1975 albums from South Africa, which are still in the post. Now VERY MUCH looking forward to getting them. And I also got That Devilin' tune, vols 1, 2 and 4 - vol 3 still in the post. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...mp;#entry761708 Got my package from Kalahari in South Africa today - only took about three weeks to get here These two are 1975 recordings by Ntemi Piliso, who later founded the African Jazz Pioneers. They were originally issued as four 12" LPs, one long track per side, as a sort of counter-inspiration to Abdullah Ibrahim's "Mannenberg", also a short LP. This is wonderful stuff! Piliso started playing in big bands in about 1950 (he died in 2000) and is a bit of a multi-instrumentalist. "He played all the saxes up from baritone to soprano, filled in occasionally on piano, flute, mouth organ and drums, and he was also a very competent string bass player." These recordings are very much in the vein of Ibrahim's work at the time. All the band members were working in Mbqanga and Piliso himself did arrangements for the Mahotella Queens. And that feeling pervades. And how can you not admire tracks with titles like "Whole day bump" and "Whole night bump", eh? And I also got Linda Kekana - Kodumela - Gallo. I got her 2002 album, "I am an African" last year. This, from 2005, seems every bit as great as that one. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
