    She had a 45 of 'Harlem River Drive' I assume
    my fave Bobbi Humphrey track



  • In the world of Blue Note 45s, I gotta mention:

    Blues Mitchell - Collision In Black (perhaps my favorite)
    Three Sounds - Sittin' Duck
    Horace Silver - Psychedelic Sally
    gotta mention 'Harlem River Drive'

    & a bunch of great sides courtesy of Lou Donaldson


    I know I'm forgetting plenty......

    Speaking of Blue Note 45s, I am currently digging the hell out of this...

    it's amazing how cheap you can get some of those old 10" LPs for.

    You're not talking about ebay though, right?

    Its amazing how much battered copies of early Blue Note 10"s and LPs will go for on the 'bay...


    I guess it depends on who the leader is, but it doesn't seem like ANYONE is interested in the stuff like those George Lewis and Sidney Bechet jams.

    Yup

  • The Blue Note catalogue is too good to narrow it down to 1 or 2 records, so here are a few of personal favs....













    P.S. How is that Jackie Mclean...I heard it was good.

    which one? The one you said was one of your faves???? Yeah, it's good.







    I need to give A New Perspective another spin, because the first time I listened to it a few years ago I couldn't get into it at all.

    just a few. it's impossible to narrow down blue note- i'll go to sleep feeling guilty for leaving off the list early Freddie Hubbard, Kenny Dorham, Hank Mobley, etc. etc.

    I also gotta go with Out To Lunch.



    not to hijack the thread but besides being one of my favorite blue note records, it is also hands down my favorite blue note cover. i liked it so much that i jacked it for this wallet i made, only two ruin it like 2 weeks later.











    RIP lunch money wallet

    I think Norah Jones might have sold a few copies more than St. Germain, which is an OK record for what it is. 25 years ago, they'd have called it "fusion".

    Lots of good ones already mentioned, but here's a few I like;
