mikelz777 Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 Several nice Ebay deals: Thelonious Monk - Criss-Cross Thelonious Monk - Straight, No Chaser (I confess that I'm buying these as much, if not more, for Charlie Rouse than for Monk.) Chet Baker/Bud Shank - Theme Music from The James Dean Story Herbie Harper - Herbie Harper Sextet! Charles Mingus - Blues & Roots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BruceH Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 That's a nice one, Bill. A few days ago got Little Richard: The Georgia Peach. Little Richard is one of the many first-wave 50's rock'n'rollers of whom I had plenty of stuff on vinyl but nothing as yet in digital form. There's a guy I talk to once in a while at the library who's a big fan of 50's rock artists...I mentioned Little Richard to him once and he said, "I love him! He sang like his head was about to explode!" Can't get that phrase out of my (unexplosive) mind. Anyway, this single disc has on it everything that I already had on LP and about four more songs besides. Nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papsrus Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Recently ordered: Von Freeman -- "Have No Fear" (nessa) (best I could find is an old LP cover shot) The Convergence Quartet -- "Live in Oxford" (fmr) The first is a Japanese issue, I believe. The incredible "Vonski Speaks" pretty much lit a fire under me for this one, particularly in light of Chuck's involvement. The second is a quartet that includes board member Alexander Hawkins along with Taylor Ho Bynum. Have been so impressed with Hawkins' "No Now Is So" I felt compelled to explore more of his music. Looking forward to both very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king ubu Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 There's a local sale here... they were all pretty cheap (I also bought two by Luiz Bonfa, already had the great one with Maria Toledo), Jobim's "Tide" (not sure if I should get the old version of "Wave", will there be a new one?), some Getz (Au Go Go, In Stockholm), three by Astrud Gilberto (Album, w/Evans, w/Wanderley), and more... The Mayalls I got (out of the same sale) are: Blues Breakers (w/Clapton), A Hard Road, BBC Sessions (mostly w/Clapton, some with Green, but those are on "A Hard Road" as well, and a couple of unrelated 1975 tracks), Crusade, Bare Wires, Laurel Canyon, The Turning Point, and a later one with Blue Mitchell and Clifford Solomon, Jazz Blues Fusion (that and Turning Point being on Polydor/gram, the others all on Decca). I skipped a few others (Blues Alone, Mayall Plays Mayall and one more, I think). Enjoying those a lot! And "On My Way & Shoutin' Again" is prime Basie, I'd say! Up to the standards of the Roulette new testament albums! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillF Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 And "On My Way & Shoutin' Again" is prime Basie, I'd say! Up to the standards of the Roulette new testament albums! I already have Atomic Mr Basie, Chairman of the Board, Basie at Birdland and Kansas City Suite. Are there any other Roulettes I should know about, or do I have the best ones already?

I don't have "KC Suite" and "Birdland" but own the live Roulette Mosaic, and someone once burned me a copy of the studio box... I'll still buy whatever studio albums are out there for grabs, but I doubt there'll be many coming out... there's just one more I have recently found, part of Capitol's short-lived (? I guess it's indeed dead?) Vocal Classics series: Ev'ry Day I Have the Blues As I'm a big fan of Joe Williams', it was a no-brainer. I didn't even check if it's included in the studio Mosaic or not (I guess it is, but other albums including one with Lambert Hendricks & Ross were omitted). Williams' crooner album "A Man Ain't Supposed to Cry" also came out in that series, just in case! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillF Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Am pleased that I saw Joe Williams sing with Basie. I also saw his Basie predecessor Jimmy Rushing sing with Humphrey Lyttelton. As I also saw Joe Turner and Jimmy Witherspoon, I think I did quite well for male blues singers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other fine studio Roulettes are: Basie Plays Hefti One More Time (arrangements by Quincy Jones) Not Now - I'll Tell You When Easin' It (arrangements by band members Thad Jones, Frank Foster, Frank Wess) Back With Basie The following live Roulettes are recommended: Live In Sweden (Louis Bellson substitutes for Sonny Payne) Breakfast Dance & Barbecue Another fine Verve album is: Lil' Ol' Groovemaker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 I didn't even check if it's included in the studio Mosaic or not (I guess it is, but other albums including one with Lambert Hendricks & Ross were omitted). The Joe Williams Everyday I Have the Blues album was on the Complete Studio Sessions box, as well as 'Just the Blues' and 'Back to Basie and the Blues'! Great (and heavy! in its vinyl version) box!

BillF Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 When Basie Plays Hefti was first released, it was generally seen as a disappointment after The Atomic Mr Basie. However, as I don't recall ever hearing it, I shouldn't be commenting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
