not on everyone's list like Blue Notea late start and a straight ahead-ish approach but still a high quality catalouge

    I bought out a jazz radio station in my early digging days and got probably a whole crate of Pablo stuff. Only a couple were really listenable to me...I'm sure there's a whitewale or two on it though.

    that oscar peterson with the electric piano keys is kinda hot, I think its called night child or something.

    Otherwise I'm bored with them

    For a company with major-label distribution (RCA), Pablo sure had some blah-looking covers.

    (And if I'm not mistaken, they had two different artists named Joe Turner!)

    Fatback, from the old thread:

    Some of the pictures on Pablo records used to scare me.
    Like the bloated half dead Zoot Sims.


    When I just re-read that thread, I re-laughed for 3 minutes.

    I quite like Matrix - Harvest, though possibly for sentimental reasons

    I like that one. Right now I'm listening to a Joe Pass LP called Tudo Bem -it has a couple of nice spots. Pablo was patchy with its output but overall a pretty high quality catalogue with some outstanding moments (bad and good).

    dizzy gillespi "bahiana" is the best one for my money. chico o'farell does the arrangments and there is even a really tasteful arp synth in the mix thats used sparingly but effectively.

    Paulinho Da Costa "Happy People", ye alde peas eyed black jams and joints

    yes i will

    also, isn't there a Joe Pass LP on pablo that has that bonkers funky-psychy thing that was sampled for el da sensei's 'Keep it Live'?

    nope. guitar interludes one of the few joe pass records not on the label.

    except for a couple exceptions (already mentioned) pablo sucks

    not

    yeah that Coltrane is serious serious business

    Those Ella Fitzgerald / Joe Pass duets are mostly incredible, but not suitable in content for a website such as this

    Yeah, I always thought of Pablo artwork as the antithesis of Blue Note/Francis Wolff.


    on Nate's recommendation above, forgot about that one. Good stuff (red wax too, right?).

    There is also some sweet vocoder scat moves that rock my fragile little world.


    RED WAX FOR MY ASS PUSSY.

    I think the real question is who would win the cage match between Pablo and PAJ.

    These are two of my favorite Coltrane LPs.

    along with Kudu, ECM and CTI...Pablo gets the automatic toss into the $2 bin when we purge the racks twice a year...
