Great Video - What is the Title of The Young/Hawkins 5 Star Album title?

Great video Jack

I’d like to see Count Basie’s “Me and You” and “Get Together” reissued. They’re both great albums but they’re quite pricey here in the UK (if you can find one). Both fantastic audiophile quality recordings from what I’ve heard. They even sound good streaming them from Spotify so I bet they would be awesome if Acoustic Sounds gave them the full treatment.

Thank you

Hi Jack, great video Have a wonderful one

Timeless is not a Japanese label, it's Dutch. They just licensed a large part of their catalogue to a Japanese company that reissues them in LP and CD format.

MCPS is not a record label. It stands for Mechanical-Copyright Protection Society.

Hi Jack, great video! Wonderful content ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A lot of great content. Thank you so much Jack! Awesome job ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thanks very much for including 'Mirror Music' in the mix. Very glad to hear you gave it a chance and were able to get some enjoyment out of it. PS. Chad did a 2x45rpm of Peckin Time as part of AP's Blue Note Reissue series back in 2011. Still within reach over at Discogs. Cheers from out West, Michael.

Awesome Jack you got to see Bill Evans trios that had to be outstanding. I got in to Bill Evans in the late 90’s this customer who worked at the stock exchange used to come in when I was working at Musicland downtown Chicago he brought me a cd of Bill Evans Conversations with myself which I still have set me off collecting his records on vinyl one day I’ll do a spotlight of what I have I really enjoyed your insights and that Harold Land record store day vinyl release is awesome have a great week Jack.

Very good video Man. Lucky used to live in Lausanne at the end of the 60's beginning of the 70's, just near by my appartment. I have a lot of stories about how he was with people, the musicians, producers etc. One of the last musicians who saw him homeless in Seattle was Hank Jones, in 1995. He told me this when he just saw him, one week after. I don't think is so underrated because a lot of people still talk about him a lot. Every time there's a new release or reissue of him, the sellings are really very excellent. I think Harold Land is really very underrated but not Lucky.

Hi Jack, Gee The UHQR Debby is spendy. Luckily I brought the Tape Project version before the pricing for these tapes and postage from the US became insane. I did watch a review (Dave Denyer?) comparing the tape to the new UHQR and not surprisingly according to the particular reviewer, the tape was still the reference. Was Looking for some more Harold land and found this "Curtis Counce, Jack Sheldon, Harold Land, Carl Perkins, Frank Butler Quintet - Complete Studio Recordings. The Master Takes" looks interesting, will let you know what the performance is like

You're so, so right about Lucky Thompson, he was an underrated great, like Don Byas. But I never knew him to play alto, at least not on anything I have. On Lucky Strikes he plays tenor and soprano. Do you know of recordings I'm not aware of where he plays alto?

Great video as always 🙂 That release of Peckin' Time was released on a label called Rat Pack Records I have it in my want list, Rat Pack Records have released quite a few Blue Note records that Blue Note haven't re-issued

Great video, Jack. Thx. I succumbed and and bought the Debby UHQR (CAD 300!!). I’ll do a full review. Actually, the very famous Muti /EMI is not on the Dream List. In fact, I’ve never heard it. Must remedy that. Recorded in 1979, so full analogue I would think. Hope to see you tomorrow night on the show.

Hello Jack , you have done it again with another great video . I went into my Pablo's , a label I just love . There is a Phineas Newborn trio " Look Out Phineas is Back " really marvelous and the Ella "Lady Time " with Jackie Davis on organ and Louie Bellsonn and it sounds like they are in the room . Keep em comin'

Just found you tonight watching audiophilia, I’m a Jazz neophyte to be honest, really just got interested in the last 4-5 years. I’m playing catch-up.😊 Do have both Kevin’s releases as well as Jerome’s last 2 and the Turn. Of course I’ve got some classic reissues as well as some older OG;s I couldn’t pass up back in the 90’s. Look forward to learning from you. Best regards

Hi Jack, Thanks for the recommendations I will Listen. You will be glad to know we will Be releasing the Basie for 2 nd time and the Art Tatum Ben Webster. I also love these two . I will hunt down some of the records you mentioned and listen to them. Thanks Chad

Hi jack, wanted to ask bout the record sleeves you use to protect your collection, specially the gatefolds. Thank you

I think I mentioned before 'Basie and Zoot', which is probably the best record recorded for the Pablo label along with 'Duke's Big 4' and 'This One's For Blanton'. I bought these and many more ( e.g. Carter's 'The King') when they were new in the 1970s. The Tatum/Webster is a reissue from the Tatum Group Masterpieces from the 1950s, but a new issue of this is always welcome. I have this many times and in many versions and I will, if I can, acquire the new re-issue when it comes out. It is quite simply one of the greatest jazz records of all time with Ben not being intimidated by Tatum's masterful playing and just playing the way he always did to produce something magical. It is the stuff of legends. My recollection is that as the Pablo label went along Granz began to issue more and more jam sessions from Montreux on the label and the quality went down and became less interesting. That was how it seemed to me at the time.

Great video again Man. As I told you, yes, the last Basie big band's albums sound, musically, "tired" because the chief was ill. It shows us that Bill was really the boss. When he was in a good form, the band sounded like fireworks. When he was not well, the band sounded not precise, "tired" .... About On the Road, I was at the concert. They recorded in both digital and analog systems ! But Claude Nobs, the founder of the Montreux Jazz Festival, wanted to be the first man in Jazz to record his concerts with this new system, Digital. So he signed a special contract with Sony. They bought from Tokyo, just for the festival, this brand new digital machine. So Norman agreed because it was a really huge publicity for some new ways to record music on those days ! They sold a lot of albums because it was in Digital. That's why Norman put out a lot of those albums, written in big "Digital". But Claude recorded the concert with the usual equipment then. I have a copy of the analog concert and it's sounds 10x better than the digital one. I don't know if the original analog tapes are still around today ... I'm almost sure that nobody knows that analog tapes exist ... As I was there and a close friend of Bill, I can tell a lot about all of those things

be great if they would re-release all of Pablo titles

That Tatum-Webster album is from 1956, not 1975. Ben Webster died in 1973,,,

Great video, very interesting to see all those Pablo records. I have a Pablo with Benny Carter called "Live and Well in Japan" that I really enjoy. I will have to look for the one you showed! Thank you for sharing your collection and your knowledge!

The Tatum title is on Chad’s list. What an amazing album.

Thanks Jack, couple of Pablo's there I need to chase up

Those Pablos are tempting. Great video, Jack. Thx

Nice video Jack, I need to check out that Benny Carter. That Ben Webster-Art Tatum is actually a 1956 session, originally put out by Verve in ‘58, it is awesome! Over the past couple months, I’ve been going deep with the old Norman Grans produced records on Clef, Norgran, and Verve - can’t believe it took me so long to dive into these, some of the best! - Mike

While adding to my collection, anytime I see a VG+ or better, I pick it up. Most are great finds at decent price. Thx for promoting a super label.

I love Zoot Sims, I wish more of his album were reissue. I don’t why he doesn’t get love that other do

I think that Count Basie Kansas City 3 coming later in November

Great list! Have many of those. I would add Oscar Peterson and Freddie Hubbard Face to Face to the list sounds amazing and they are on fire on that record!

I really enjoy your videos. I am a CD guy but love to hear you talk jazz. Folks just don't know what they are missing by not listening to jazz and blues.

Hi, Jack Basie "For the second time" and Tatum-Webster Quartet are on the list of 2024 releases. Best wishes fron Spain. Cayetano

I can find these titles between 5 and 10 dollars. They are generally clean and sound great. Why would I spend 40 bucks? Makes no sense

Hi Jack I've just got my first Pablo record. Sarah Vaughan How Long Has This Been Going On. I think it's a masterpiece.

Jack - thanks for covering off on some of these lesser known titles and artists. By chance I happen to pick up the Bob Cooper record that you showed a couple of months. I really didn’t know Bob Cooper at that point, but could not pass up a clean vintage Contemporary pressing by Roy DuNann (black label cut using the Westrex cutting head). Of late I have been into mono pressings (I use have a dedicated mono turntable with a mono cart), but these stereo Contemporary pressings are dynamite. Similarly I picked up an OG stereo pressing of Shelly Manne at the Blackhawk #4 for $7 (solid VG and plays beautifully) just a couple 😅f days ago and it sounds great! I look forward to more upcoming videos.

I like the suggestion of Terry Gibbs in a small group setting on Emarcy. Those albums swing so hard and the sound is so well recorded it’s like the band is right in your listening room. Shades of Ahmad Jamal live at the Pershing.

Great video thanks again Jack

Hi Jack. Andre Previn, I hate the guy. Classical pianist extraordinaire, Jazz supremo, sense of humour, suave and charismatic. Don't you just hate that. 🤣🤣🤣 Just picked up his Shostakovich No5 on EMI. Sounds awesome. Great vid mate.

Great new features...I listen to classical also and I hope you will continue to talk about that a little bit. I have been getting into Ben Webster recently and am really enjoying that journey. I got a record called Ben Webster Meets Oscar Peterson that I have been enjoying. But I am definitely going to check out that Johnny Hodges record!

Jack, thanks a lot for your great videos. To tell you the truth, I don't understand when, suddenly, they reissued, some Count Basie last recordings which are not, very far away, on the same level as some others Pablo's before .... The 2 which are reissued there are the last to buy !!! The band sounds very tired and not precise at all. Those are very very dissapointing sessions !!! Better than that : all the tunes were on the book for decades, never recorded before. So they had them in the fingers as I can say but it's not at the top level as Bill used to give us, musically. As, today, we are into "the best sound quality possible way", the producers decide to reissue those. Come on !!! What about "I Told You So", "Live in Japan 1978", "On The Road", the 2 volumes with Milt Jackson, "Warm Breeze", "Kansas City Shout" .... Those are masterpieces to me. As you know, Bill was not in good health since the fall of 1981 and really, we all can feel it. The band sounds more loud, unprecised, more conventional ... This was no more the Basie band that I loved, revered for all of decades that we know .... I'm pissed of, sorry to say. I think I have all Basie's albums, about 500. Sound quality first, then the quality of the music. I'll never buy this concept ! All about money and money, sellings and sellings !!!!!!! Bob Cooper was one the greatest to me, sooo underrated because he didn't recorded that much in Jazz settings, very busy in the studios for composing and arranging and this is a shame !!! But we can't go back and do again the history. But boy !! He could play !!! Great arranger and composer. Jazz people don't really know about it, he did a lot for TV shows, series and movies, cartoons, when his name appeared in a very little characters .... A shame but that was a time then. Life, sometimes, isn't always fair enough. He was a good friend of mine, that's why I write those words about him because I know all the story. Do you know who put and arranged Victor Feldman's moving from England to LA and in the LA studios ?

That’s one cheesy looking cover on the Bob Cooper album.

Andre Previn recommendation for you AP and Thomas Stevens ‘A Classic American Sonbbook’ cheers, Ted

Great job, Jack! I'm loving the Johnny Hodges reissue. What a beauty and that jacket was so beautiful as well! That particular Victrola is one I DONT have and I do love the original and Classic Records versions. Always worth a chance with Victrola, I'm sorry you didn't get a truly mint one this time. Thanks for the shoutout and for your appearances on the Everything Ckassical Livestream.

Nice work Jack. I have the Bassie 88 would love the new KG mastered item but here in the land of blatant rip offs (Australia), the cheapest I can find a copy delivered is around the AUD $150 !!!!! will keep playing my old copy...ha ha ha. You are correct the Sibelius No5 was Living Stereo LSC2405. Cheers Graham

Great video Awesome Great job Jack

Great video Well done

And don't forget the soprano album!

Bob Cooper sounds amazing on the Howard Rumsey Music for Lighthousekeeping album, I'm really hoping they do the album you mentioned here on the acoustic sound series!
