Blue Note Jazz Vs Impulse. and C/d

cti

― chaki (chaki),

oh and chaki any recs for CTI (got the freddie hubbard stuff)

There’s a 4CD CTI compilation that’s an excellent starting point. If you like that, dive on in - George Benson, Freddie Hubbard, Stanley Turrentine, Grover Washington Jr, Idris Muhammad, Hank Crawford and Joe Farrell all made killer albums for the label.

Dont really like comps but I will check out the artists you mention. I know a couple of Idris Muhammad albums really well.

thanks

Blue Note put out all sorts of classic jazz coming out of bebop, most all of Monk's tunes came out on their label first. Earliest of these came out before the LP as 10" singles and were later compiled including other big bebop players like Bud Powell, Monk and others.

Pretty much if they were a sideman of Coltrane or Miles, they put out records on Blue Note mixing up the personnel and adding in other big jazz players of the day. Some did 1 record for the label and moved on, but some like Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter put out quite a few records including a couple of their best on Blue Note.

Really, you can't hold any single label up like Blue Note - they were there from the end of the war/bebop to fusion. Their success kind of paved the way for that later wave with Impulse and others.

Mingus pretty much recorded for everyone but Blue Note, although I think he might be on something as a sideman on bass, but maybe not. Curious to look that one up.

Re: CTI I absolutely love the self titled Joe Farrell Quartet album. The duo album with George Benson too.

Highly recommend Grover Washington Jr.'s Mr. Magic.

I find CTI to be the perfect music for comps -- so much great music and yet very few records I enjoy listening to all the way through.

Individual CTI album recommendations:

Stanley Turrentine, Sugar, Salt Song, Cherry, Don't Mess With Mister T
Freddie Hubbard, Straight Life, Red Clay
Idris Muhammad, Power of Soul
Hank Crawford, Wildflower, Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing (these were on CTI sub-label Kudu)
Joe Farrell, Joe Farrell Quartet, Moon Germs
Grover Washington Jr., Inner City Blues, Soul Box, Mister Magic (these were also on Kudu)

I have the Freddie and Idris albums but not the others so will check them out, thanks!

Milt Jackson's Sunflower is very good, strings and all

Been listening to a couple of Roy Haynes albums on Impulse tonight following on from a Pharoah Sanders and Archie Shepp marathon.

This isn’t your ride, is it?

So this Joe Farrell stuff is great! Ordered a 3CD set from amazon it has Quartet/Moon Germs/Outback on it. The latter isnt on spotify but liked the other 2 enough to buy it.
Listening to the more jazz funk albums on Spotify and liking them too.

I now have 2 CDs with 3 albums on each. Thanks for the recommendations, Phil!
