CTI ALLTIME COLLECTION (60 Titles) March '25

[CTI ALLTIME COLLECTION 1st Period (60 Titles)]

[60 masterpieces from the prestigious American jazz label CTI Records (including sub-labels KUDU and SALVATION) are now being released all at once. All titles come with a luxurious booklet that reprints the liner notes from the original Japanese LP releases.]

Including the 1st CTI record ever released: Kathy McCord

[HutchFan]

Some excellent titles in there.  Thanks for sharing the list.

Yes, nice for filling in some missing titles, thanks.  The McCord is not really jazz or even particularly close, but a nice enough album on its own terms.  More of a talented 17 year old greatly influenced by the likes of 1969-era Joni Mitchell and Judy Collins.

[RiRiIII]

You are welcome. I am trying to figure out which titles I am missing.

These are as follows:

1. Eric Gale - Forecast
2. Grant Green with Hubert Laws - The Main Attraction [Grant Green's only single leader album left on KUDU]
3. Joe Farrell - Canned Funk
4. Joe Farrell - Penny Arcade
5. Urbie Green - The Fox
6. George Benson, Joe Farrell - Benson & Farrell
7. Gerry Mulligan & Chet Baker - The Carnegie Hall Concert Vol.1 and 2
8. Kathy McCord / Kathy McCord
9. Jack Wilkins / Opal
10. George Benson / Pacific Fire
11. Johnny Hammond / The Prophet

What do you think?

Thank you.

At some point, I hope they get around to reissuing this Roland Hanna rarity:

I've never heard it, but I would love to.

Maybe they'll get to it in the next batch?  Fingers crossed.

I was not aware of this one prior to today, can't wait to hear it.  Jackie McLean on a CTI album?  Yes please and thank you!

RE: Art Farmer "Live In Tokyo"

Finally!

This is up on YouTube and it's pretty good. It has a typical "large music hall" audio sound, which is not my favorite live recording venue & with this band, I was somehow expecting more musically.
