Her Contemporary LP with Manne and His Men is quite good, and her album with Johnny Smith is excellent. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruth_Price On the second disk from 1966 with the Penthouse broadcasts, Ruth adds a vocal to the short 3rd track of each broadcast. Works well ! As mentioned in the booklet, she was also a good friend of Manne and helped him to scout out the location of the Manne-Hole club.

bertrand Posted April 21 Report Share Posted April 21 WPFW in DC has been giving heavy airplay to his majesty the detective's new 'product'. It is too much. The Lateef is tempting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabshakeh Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 Has anyone listened to any of these yet? Any that are outstanding? Any that didn't need to be issued? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Dryden Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 The two chanting tracks on the Sun Ra CD set quickly grew tiresome, it might be more fun to witness that in person, but I would rather have music on a CD. Of course, that may have been all that was available and useable from that show. I I would rate them all as outstanding and worth buying if you are a fan of the artists.

I picked up the LPs of Waldron/Lacy, Lateef, and Adderley Poppin' in Paris. That's what i could afford currently. I was standing next to someone at the store (Canterbury Records in Pasadena) who picked up a copy of the Nat King Cole, and another person standing there said "I worked on that; thank you for picking it up." I didn't ask more questions, but there it is. I'll get others on CD someday if I get them. Tried to play Lateef and my turntable wouldn't work, so more to deal with...

I haven't ordered anything but the Shelly Manne is closest to being sooner rather than later. I like the 1969 set better than the 1972. George Duke is a great musician, but he's on electric piano for the whole show, which gets old. Fender Rhodes has never been one of my favorite instruments, too often an artist's touch is compromised with the mushy sound.

Yes - she was (not sure if it is still going). In fact I saw her mc-ing there on a few of my visits to that venue when located at Helms Ave and even doing a vocal, although can't remember who with. She is interviewed in the booklet. Edited April 25 by sidewinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertrand Posted April 25 Report Share Posted April 25 Whatever happened to Feldman's gig with Blue Note? What came out of that: 1) Lee Morgan Lighthouse 2) Blakey Just Coolin' 3) Blakey in Tokyo Anything else? I could use some more Lee Morgan since that seemed to be his focus per the above list. It would be great if he could rescue the Grant Green/John Patton and the Duke Pearson Big Band Left Bank tapes from wherever Sunnenblick at Uptown was hiding them, but I have pretty much given up.

Hopefully, it'll be a quick fix. I actually think I'm going to get these RSD releases on CD. I love vinyl too. But the RSD CDs are less expensive. (Most of the vinyl that I buy is used.) Occasionally, I'll plop for a new LP if it's the only option -- like last year's RSD reissue of Black Renaissance - Body, Mind, Spirit. I also have a few Pure Pleasure LPs in my collection that aren't available in any digital format. Edited April 25 by HutchFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is correct. He discussed working with Jordi in the Zoom interview I did a few weeks ago. I just got the new Downbeat and I felt the article about Zev Feldman was edited down for space too much, it deserved more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted April 25 Report Share Posted April 25 (edited) Picked up straggler LP copies of two of the Sun Ra's (Elemental Chicago concerts plus the Strut) so that is me done for this year. The store also had a second hand copy of David Meeker's 'Jazz in the Movies' book so added that one too. All of the stores I visited seem to have sold their copies of the Bill Evans on Craft in super fast time.
