BillF Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 YES, this is one of my all time favorite Maynard albums. Issued in the mid-1960's on the short-lived Mainstream label. It was originally issued on LP under the title "Color Him Wild". There is something about this album that keeps me coming back; I think it is the nice balance/mix of material. Not only does he show off his inimitable solo chops on tunes like "Airegin" but there is a great version of "Three More Foxes" here that fascinated me back when I was a young trumpeter in highschool. However I think it is the warm ballad artistry of the sax section (Lanny Morgan, Willie Maiden, Ronnie Cuber) on Maiden's composition "Tinsel" and the easy going loper "This Night" that really sunk in and hooked me. It is a real shame that this album has not been more widely available during the CD era. Hopefully it will see new light in the download era. I was able to nab a used CD copy in it's reincarnation as "Dues" sometime ago. Don't let this one pass you by!!! Maynard Ferguson, Dues (Mainstream) Agreed! I'm very pleased with it.

sidewinder Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 (edited) A couple of vinyl items. Nice copy of Quincy Jones 'Body Heat' on A&M. Haven't heard that one for over 25 years ! (will need to get my joss sticks and kaftan out) Plus a new Nathan Davis. 'Best of Nathan Davis 65-76' 2LP set on Jazzman Records. Looks promising !

jeffcrom Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 I live one block from a used record/CD store. It's small, but they often have some nice stuff. I self-exiled myself from the store for the month of August because I had been buying too much stuff. I dropped in today for the first time in about six weeks and walked out with: CD - Prince Lasha: Inside Story (Enja) LPs - Lee Morgan: a British double LP of broadcasts by the Live at the Lighthouse band Cootie Williams and Rex Stewart: The Big Challenge (for a dollar) The Freddie Roach Soul Book (Prestige deep groove). The Roach is playing right now, and it sounds great. I was so tickled that I'll send my Prestige 45 of "You've Got Your Troubles"/"One Track Mind" by Freddie Roach to the first board member who posts here asking for it. I'll even pick up the postage. Please follow up with a PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was available for "pre-order" from Jazzloft (through amazon) for a fraction of the price it would cost to acquire vols. 1&2 today, used. Keeping my fingers crossed.

ghost of miles Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 On the basis of a comment that Larry Kart made elsewhere, I just ordered a Japanese import of Bobby Jaspar TENOR AND FLUTE (with George Wallington on piano) via Mr. Tanno.

sidewinder Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 (edited) LPs - Lee Morgan: a British double LP of broadcasts by the Live at the Lighthouse band On DJM Records - came out around 1975. If it's the one I'm thinking of it has the live broadcast from the 'Both/And' club, released on CD more recently by Fresh Sound. I picked up this 2LP set myself quite recently for £2 !

Regarding the Tapscott you won't be dissapointed the remastering was done really well. The music sounds fresh and brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewinder Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 According to Tom Perchard's book the 'Both/And' engagement in San Fran was over 2 weeks in June 1970. The band headed down to play the Lighthouse in Hermosa Beach after that (and recorded there for Blue Note). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
