It is not my intention to take away potential revenue from copyright holders, but rather to further extend the performances from these great musicians rather than to be lost into oblivion. eewhizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16351684334914016330noreply@blogger.comBlogger42125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3736364704088033354.post-48434705993086127992021-01-31T08:43:00.006-05:002021-01-31T08:52:39.700-05:00Airmen of Note - Better Than Ever 1983<p style="text-align: justify;"> I grew up in Northern Virginia, and many July 4th days were spent at Wolf Trap Pavilion watching the Airmen of Note play. It was my first exposure to "Big Band" style of music. The musicians were very talented and under appreciated. I have a collection of most of their works (difficult to get, but worth the time!). This release is one of my favorites, and features Tim Eyermann on Sax in "A Certain Smile". </p><p style="text-align: justify;">I hope you enjoy these great recordings!!</p><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

<span style="color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; font-weight: 400;">Here's a release from 1976 that seems to be hard to find? I purchased this near Mint LP n eBay and have archived the audio here. Most notable is "Hill Where the Lord Hides" made famous by his brother. On many of the selections, I am not fond of the synthesizer settings used in the melody lines. Perhaps indicative of the technology available to many at that time. However the Bass lines played by Reubens Bassini keeps many tracks very interesting.</span></span></h4>

<br />
<h4>
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">So I have been archiving all of the Gap Mangione albums that were never released digitally (CD or otherwise) and will be mentioning some of these LP's. This 1972 release on Mercury records is a collection of covers and original works. The </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">fidelity</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"> was above average on this recording, but not excellent. This album may have the first release of "Diana in the Autumn Wind" which can be had on CD, but produced much later. </span></span></h4>
<div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">N</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">otable musicians here were Jon Faddis, Snooky Young and Clark Terry on horns, Gerry Niewood on sax. Only a few songs feature these instruments. Many of the songs have a Bossa Nova feel to them. Most notably "Theme from 'The Burglars'". </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Hope you enjoy! </span></div>

In my effort to honor Tim Eyermann's musical accomplishments, I am trying to find all the recordings from that era that was never digitized or released on CD or even available for download. There are several other works from Mr. Eyermann that are written about on this Blog. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I found this LP in a used LP shop in Phoenix during business travel. I had never knew about this one, because it is listed under Tim Eyermann Quartet (not East Coast Offering). One listen and you can feel that this recording is fairly intimate. I especially liked the attention to detail given to the recording methods on the back cover. You never see this type of detail on today's contemporary recordings... Why is that?</div>

As it mentions in the technical notes, the recording was mastered on the revered Ampex 354 (tube electronics recorder). There are still recordings being made using the 354 for its clean subtle and warm sound. </div>

In "Cantaloupe Island" you can specially hear and feel the room acoustics and ambiance blending in the recording. In "Malibu" there is a lengthy bass solo given at the beginning of the track. Tim writes in the album notes that this effort was to be a blend of old and new jazz and rock idioms.<br />
I hope you get a chance to listen to this album!<br />

I had to find out the artist....found out it was Bud Brisbois. The upper ranges sound so effortless... even up to a Triple High C!!<br />
<div>
An interesting but tragic story of talent ended way too soon. I have the Wikipedia link <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bud_Brisbois" target="_blank">here:</a></div>

The music here is light interpretations of pop music popular that year (1974). My favorites are "Love's Theme" and a Bossa-esque version of George Benson's<br />
"This Masquerade". There is also a Gap original "She and I" which is mysterious and solemn and punctuated with some touching bass lines which really completes it... this song gradually gathers steam and with it's rather simple but beautiful melody line with Gap changing from piano to synthesizer.<br />
What I found out later was that this LP was also released with the same music on an album called "She and I". Neither this version or the other were ever released to CD or digital (to my knowledge). Please enjoy !!!<br />

<b><br /></b>
Sorry for the infrequent posts, but slowly I am getting some extra time to post a few more rare recordings (I say rare, when it has never been published in digital format)<br />
<div>
<br />
<div>
The brief career of this artist, one of four different horn players in jazz named Joe Thomas, can be basically described as symposium on funky flute. He was certainly not the only flautist huffing and puffing over strong backbeats in the '70s and '80s, the era's popular players in this style including Herbie Mann, and Hubert Laws. Thomas' masterwork in this genre might be considered to be "Funky Fever," more than ten minutes of jamming that has been described as "jazzy disco funk boogie," complete with a vocal chorus that chants "I've got this funky, funky fever."</div>
</div>
<div>
My first exposure to Thomas was in the disco craze of the late 70's when he produced "Plato's Retreat" in 1978 which was a discotheque and swingers club in Manhattan combined in one!</div>
<div>
You can listen to it here:</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As far as Thomas discography, I believe that this is his first LP release in 1971. It's somewhat rare and I was lucky to come across a sealed never played LP. My favorite track from this LP 'Fancy Fanny' was actually a fun, breezy Bossa number for people who don't like the flute. One of the album's better numbers and a good place to see Thomas showcasing his technical skills - wow, hyper-speed flute !. Who would have thought. rating: ***** stars</div>
<div>
Please sit back and roll yourself back to the funky jazz era from 1971!!<br />

So I agreed, and was actually not familiar with the work, but after one listen, I realized there were some great gems on this recording. Even though it debuted in 1972, the recording fidelity is fantastic. I have yet to scan the Cover art , so what I am posting is someone else's scan... But I will eventually scan and update this post. My favorite here is Astral Traveling, featuring one of my ATF "Lonnie Liston Smith" on Rhodes Electric... I can see where is style originated and was born from... please enjoy...<br />

I have had this LP in my collection for some time, and created a digital archive awhile ago, this recording was made with my old Sumiko Blue Point cartridge (as opposed to the Denon DL110 I am currently using).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This release came from Harmony Records, back in 1970. I think the album cover of the attractive actually got me to buy the LP and try out CB's music. Charlie Lee Byrd (September 16, 1925 – December 2, 1999) was an American guitarist. His earliest and strongest musical influence was Django Reinhardt, the gypsy guitarist. Byrd was best known for his association with Brazilian music, especially bossa nova. In 1962, Byrd collaborated with Stan Getz on the album Jazz Samba, a recording which brought bossa nova into the mainstream of North American music.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Byrd played fingerstyle on a classical guitar. </div>

Continuing along with the Tim Eyermann theme, another release from the Juldane Records Studio, I came across a sealed NEW LP on eBay of "Go-rilla" and had to snag it. So presented here is Tim Eyermann and the East Coast Offering.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After graduating from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duquesne_University" title="Duquesne University">Duquesne University</a>, Eyermann spent six years in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Air_Force" title="United States Air Force">United States Air Force</a>, playing with the NORAD Band and eventually the U.S. Air Force's <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Airmen_of_Note" title="The Airmen of Note">The Airmen of Note</a>. After his discharge from the Air Force, Eyermann became a very busy man recording music as a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Session_musician" title="Session musician">studio musician</a>. He worked with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Count_Basie" title="Count Basie">Count Basie</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maynard_Ferguson" title="Maynard Ferguson">Maynard Ferguson</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julie_Andrews" title="Julie Andrews">Julie Andrews</a>, <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Spinners_(U.S._band)" title="The Spinners (U.S. band)">The Spinners</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anita_Baker" title="Anita Baker">Anita Baker</a>. In 1974, he formed a band called the East Coast Offering which was led by Eyermann. Many categorize his music as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jazz" title="Jazz">jazz</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_bop" title="Hard bop">hard bop</a>, or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jazz_fusion" title="Jazz fusion">fusion</a>. Tim was also nominated for two <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammy_Award" title="Grammy Award">Grammies</a>. In 1999 Tim released his most recent album Karla's Fire.<br />
<br />
My favorite track on this album is the moody and inspired track: "Requiem for an Unborn Child", this has got to have personal implications from his own life, the composition certainly reflects this...</div>

Please enjoy, and let your mind roll back to 1978 and the fusion funk jazz that emanated from that time period. This seems rare enough that Discogs did not have much information.</div>

I had the cassette of the "Aloha" release back in 1980 when TE and the East Coast Offering was breaking in to the Jazz Fusion scene. So I decieded to hunt down an LP copy of this album and make an LP rip of this and post. As I was listening to this album, many memories flooded back from my college days, my favorite track is "A Certain Smile" which is a great instrumental version of the Johnny Mathis ballad. The track "Karen's Song" received a fair amount of airplay on the jazz stations back then...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My last few LP rips have been done with a new cartridge, Denon DL110. I decided to retire my Sumiko Blue Point, perhaps it was getting too much wear? It seemed the detail was starting to diminish. I bring this up, because it seems that the high-end detailing was fairly pronounced on this LP. I would like to go back to the Sumiko to compare, but its such a hassle replecing cartridges on that SME tomearm.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The album cover was atrocious (received from eBay) and in awful shape, so I spent several hours restoring the LP cover scans, and uploaded to discogs.com (their copy was in poor shape also)</div>

This may be one of Tim Eyermann's first recordings, from a now a defunct studio (Juldane Records). This LP was recorded without the East Coast Offering and so I though it was unique. I was listening to some Airmen of Note LP when I saw "Tim Eyermann" credited for a solo. So I found out that was where he started his career, and then went solo. I recently learned from Wikipedia that TE died in 2007 from complications from surgery and lung cancer. So this started me to find which recordings never were released I used to listen to his East Coast Offering material when I was in college and really enjoyed their music.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So I found out this "Unity" LP is rare and was able to get one for a reasonable cost through eBay. However, on Side A, there is a "pop" although muted, still comes through after the Click-Repair processing. I tried other ways to remove it and was unsuccessful. At least Side B is okay. There are no credits on Discogs for me to reference (again it is rare) and I uploaded my cleaned up LP cover scan to Discogs. I hope you enjoy...</div>

<br />
I received a request to rip this LP and looked for a while for a good condition LP on eBay. I was surprised that this album is still out of print and not available on CD anymore (it was a very limited release).<br />
Of course many of you know her as the lead vocalist for Sergio Mendes and Brasil '66 (and Brasil '77?)<br />
Later she married Herb Alpert in the 80's...<br />
They have released two albums together (at least). They can be purchased on Amazon <a href="http://amzn.com/B004H0B00S" target="_blank">"I Feel You"</a> in 2011 and <a href="http://amzn.com/B001Y44EMG" target="_blank">"Anything Goes"</a> in 2009.<br />

Yes, we have here another reel to reel RIP, this one from the late 50's and the recording speed unfortunately is 3-3/4 IPS. This recording to my knowledge has never been released on CD. Just LP and Reel to Reel. Recorded in Monterey CA. "Concert By The Sea" is the vibraphonist/percussionist's breakthrough recording under any name. The bass-less, percussion-heavy lineup--Tjader on vibes, Willie Bobo on drums and timbales, Mongo Santamaria on bongos, Lonnie Hewitt on piano, and Paul Horn on flute--offers a curious mixture of Latin rhythms and the sort of West Coast cool pioneered by Tjader's former employer Dave Brubeck. Evenly balanced between standards given Tjader-style cool arrangements and band originals like Santamaria's classic "Afro Blue". All in all the fidelity is acceptable... you be the judge. My fav is the laid back "Laura", imagine being there in 1959, Monterey must have looked a lot different back then...</div>

I came across this gem on eBay, and have never heard of the group, and neither had Discogs.com (which is generally unusual). So I had to have it because of it's rarity. This purchase delivered! You can try and Google this recording and like myself, will find no information!! After spending hours researching this recording, I have come to the conclusion that this was several session musicians that came together to play some jazz standards, and Sony-Superscope help bankroll this, so they could add more repertoire to their catalog. These three musicians appear courtesy of Takt Records.</div>

I have not seen anyone posting Reel to Reel rips, and as you have noticed my posts are few and far between, mainly due to my time is limited, and most of my music on LP has been released on CD or Digital release. Since I have started to try these rips for a bit, I wanted to mention the process. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My LP rips can be seen on this <a href="http://littlejazzarium.blogspot.com/2009/10/equipment-used-for-digital-archival.html">post</a>. The process is basically the same, except the need for ClickRepair is gone, reel to reel format has no clicks. However, they can have some excessive white noise. I have tried to reduce using electronic means, and I do not like the artifacts that it adds to the recording. Therefore the music is left intact, noise and all. On the 7-1/2 IPS (inches per second), the noise is well controlled, but the 3-3/4 IPS, the noise can become a bit excessive. The rips were made on Pioneer RT-909 (see pic below) from 1979. This was my second reel to reel unit, my first was a Revox B77, very well built and wonderful sounding, but not a lot of sex appeal, some may disagree. It too was a 10" reel capacity unit, like the RT-909. I sold the B77 for a great price, and got the RT-909 and has been working ever since. The only maintenance was changing the drive belts and two capston rollers.</div>

Without further adieu, I will start to post some of these rips.... I hope you enjoy!!<br />

<br />
Many of you may have originally stumbled upon Lani Hall's vocal work when she was with Sergio Mendes and Brasil '66 and Brasil '77. She went on to become the wife of famed trumpeter Herb Alpert. I came across this LP from another blog, and thought this album was fantastic, however the recording fidelity from the blog was sub-par. So I purchased a VG+ LP on eBay and started archiving... <br />
The title track is a cover from the all too familiar Todd Rundgren, I thought it was performed with restraint and great taste. I hope you will enjoy this LP as much as I have.<br />

When I first purchased this LP in 1978, I was not thrilled with the content and performance. I would certainly rate this genre in the Avantgarde arena, however as my musical tastes have matured, so has my appreciation for this LP. If you did not know that this was Eddie Henderson, you would swear you were listening to a follow-on album from Miles Davis called "Bitches Brew 2". That would be my closest classification, of course that came out in 1970, so it seems to make sense that's where inspiration to this LP came from....The talent on this album is awesome: Bennie Maupin, Herbie Hancock, Buster Williams on bass, and of course Eddie can be heard on Cornet, Trumpet and Flugels here...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
This is my second post of a Matrix LP. The group has their own website (<a href="http://www.matrixjazz.com/">www.matrixjazz.com</a>) where LP's and CD's can be purchased, however "Harvest" and "IX" are totally out-of-print in any medium. This LP still maintains the tight and dynamic brass arrangements that Matrix is known for. It is amazing that the LP can still deliver the "punch" that CD's are well known for. I am also displaying the back cover artwork just to give an idea of the group's makeup (photo of recording session). Click on the image below to get a full size view:<br />

I actually like this LP more than "IX", because I believe it is more melodic and structured, and therefore in my opinion, more to my liking. My favorite cut is "El Tigre" and "Harvest", but all tracks are very good. If you like this, go the group's website and purchase the CD's that are available. Each track unfolds a story that is worthy of telling....I hope you enjoy!!</div>

When this LP was introduced, I really digged the cut "Airborne", but never purchased the LP. Then I recently came across this LP on another blog, and listened to it again, and thought it was fantastic, however, I was not satisfied with the sound quality of the LP Rip that was posted. So I found a "Sealed LP" on eBay, and even had the original promotional stickers on the shrink wrap. I hope you enjoy this wonderful work from David Spinozza and Mike Manieri....and the sonic fidelity came out quite well too...Enjoy a time warp back to the jazz of 1978...</div>

Their sound is noted for it's tight brass arrangements and very complex musical themes. The closest mainstream group I would compare them to would be the early "Weather Report" recordings. This album was a bit obscure even in it's day, and I dusted this original copy that I have had and gave it a listen. I was surprised by the dynamics and punch that these recordings could still deliver. The titles and music on this LP are innovative and very engaging and have listed the full titles below. My favorite is Track 1: <i>"Earth And The Overlords"</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;">BTW, they have a website where other works are available directly from <a href="http://www.matrixjazz.com/">Matrix</a> this LP though is not available.<br />
Hope you enjoy this rare gem!</div><br />

Okay, I'm all over the map now with this one...I know this blog is called "Little Jazzarium", but believe it or not there is a certain "bossa-nova" feel to this CD, however, it's genre is classified as "Disco". This CD is 'out-of-print' and is a hard-one to come by. I got this one on eBay, and the seller was in Russia. I almost bought this LP when it was originally released in 1978, but never did, and am very happy that I have secured a copy now. I've always been a fan of the various covers of Jobim's timeless "The Girl From Ipanema" and Gary Criss does a nice job with his version. My favorite tracks are "Rio De Janeiro" and "Girl From Ipanema/Brazilian Nights" and "Calm Before The Storm". Don't dismiss this album too quickly, give it a listen, you may be surprised??</div>

It seems that much of John Handy's repertoire is available on CD and digital download, with the exception of the years spanning 1976~1978. There were three albums that were never released on CD, this one and "Where The Boats Go" and "Handy Dandy". These albums are infused with the 70's jazz-funk style and other bloggers have made posts on these other 2 LP's. I have not found a good quality archival of "Carnival", so here it is. Most notable tracks are "Alvina" and the haunting "I Will Leave You" and the fanciful "Love's Rejoycing"...I hope you enjoy the Alto Sax sounds from JH.</div>

Dexter Wansel is keyboardist and main composer for this LP, and recognized by many as his best work. Sure there are some touches of Disco-esque sound in this LP, but hey it was produced in 1976! Dexter Wansel was a major influence to the popular Soul group of MFSB. This PL was released the same time the Voyager Space probe was to explore the surface of Mars (hence the name). Interestingly, the liner notes mentions that "why should we be searching for life on other planets, when we have not mastered life on Earth...". This LP was released on CD but since has gone out of print, so I present my best attempt at a LP digital archival of this fantastic work from DW and the "photo-shopped" attempt to clean up the LP scan...so please enjoy!<br />
P.S. Found out that this LP was re-leased on CD as double CD along with another great DW LP, so I am going to purchase the CD version to get the cleanest sound available. Sorry, link removed...but get the CD, "no regrets"!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRW9jzRluR-zcv9RoG1y1edCMrCLweqX2TECopR7KbGVnaXYvSZyf24Hr9biEyFJGBXbiJqQZL-8Q_pNt0EDLu6d7IYE2mbodnGlfUW_eT1MaB0RE-nhF4gSpTpAhZ2cUyBqurnmO8Q_w/s1600/Cover+Artwork.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRW9jzRluR-zcv9RoG1y1edCMrCLweqX2TECopR7KbGVnaXYvSZyf24Hr9biEyFJGBXbiJqQZL-8Q_pNt0EDLu6d7IYE2mbodnGlfUW_eT1MaB0RE-nhF4gSpTpAhZ2cUyBqurnmO8Q_w/s320/Cover+Artwork.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Life-Mars-What-Worlds-Coming/dp/B0009B0H6C">Buy at Amazon!</a><br />
