king ubu Posted April 7, 2004 Report Posted April 7, 2004 (edited) Here's the site of the label: http://www.tcb.ch And here's the link to the Allegro Music sale: http://www.allegro-music.com/label_search.asp?label=TCB And here's the link to TCB's Swiss Radio Days series on Allegro: http://www.allegro-music.com/work_search.a...e=swiss%20radio I only have a few releases outside the radio days series (Louis Hayes, Pago Libre come to mind). I highly recommend the whole radio day series, though! The Shaw/Hayes, Jones/Lewis, Don Redman are highly recommended, as is the Mulligan CJB. I don't have the whole series so far, but someday I will... Have not heard the Hawkins, but I heard it was a good one. ubu (edited to replace wrong link) Edited April 7, 2004 by king ubu Quote
clandy44 Posted April 7, 2004 Report Posted April 7, 2004 I'm a fan of the Swiss Radio series as well. This sale is very good because both the price is good and the cds are available. I had trouble finding the Terry and Webster cds, but Allegro has them. Also ordered the BG Worldwide. Ubu, I think the Hawkins is the best of the 8 I have while the Redman is probably at the bottom-poor sound and so-so performances. Quote

Ubu, I think the Hawkins is the best of the 8 I have while the Redman is probably at the bottom-poor sound and so-so performances. Clandy, I do have the Webster (though when I got it I was a bit deceived to see that Webster and Gordon are only performing two numbers together). I like the Redman - I don't know if there are many discs available of him playing his own music. However, I'm pretty new to pre-bop music, so... I will pick up the Hawkins, and the Cannonball, and probably the Blakeys and the Quincy Jones, too. The Terry is on my list also. Thanks! ubu Quote
clandy44 Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 I skipped the Blakeys since I have enough of that group in the Mosaic set. The Quincy is superb and is in fact the the only Quincy I have. Don't miss the Mulligans-even tho I have the Mosaic, I can never get enough of him or the CJB. Agree that the Adderley is excellent too. Also, get the Jones-Lewis cd if you like big band. Quote

Also it features Joe Henderson playing some real hot stuff! ubu Quote
king ubu Posted July 22, 2009 Author Report Posted July 22, 2009 bumpity bump: http://www.allegro-music.com/label_search.asp?label=TCB Not that much a "sale", rather just a way to get some of these discs at sane prizes. Though for yurpeens, various Amazon marketplace offers might turn out cheaper, all things considered. There are plenty of great releases in the TCB "Swiss Radio Days" series, including a terrific one by the Jones-Lewis band, a great Mulligan Concert Jazz Band release, some Blakey, Cannonball, etc. Also, the 90s album of Jerome Richardson's is part of the offer...

Dan Gould Posted July 22, 2009 Report Posted July 22, 2009 The David "Bubba" Brooks and the various Louis Hayes discs get strong also. Quote
king ubu Posted July 22, 2009 Author Report Posted July 22, 2009 I only have one of the Hayes albums (Candy Man). Which Bubba Brooks could you recommend? Also, what about the Buster Williams and Steve Nelson discs? Quote
Dan Gould Posted July 22, 2009 Report Posted July 22, 2009 I was disappointed in the Steve Nelson, personally. Very mellow, not much happening, despite multiple listens it never grabbed me. YMMV but its one I sold pretty quick. Both Bubba Brooks discs are very fine, Dr. Lonnie Smith plays on one and Kenny Drew Jr on the other, if that makes a difference. Iirc, the Buster Williams has Mulgrew Miller, and I remember enjoying it quite a bit more than the Steve Nelson, which I think had 'Grew on it, too. For Hayes, Quintessential Lou and the Cannonball Legacy CDs are the ones I have and enjoy. Quote
king ubu Posted July 23, 2009 Author Report Posted July 23, 2009 Thanks - I might look for some Bubba then.... found the Williams disc w/Bartz, Nelson, McKinney and White at a used store yesterday. No Mulgrew Miller there. Quote
Head Man Posted July 23, 2009 Report Posted July 23, 2009 I don't know whether they are in the sale but TCB released some of Lynne Arriale's best albums. Quote
