  1. Jutta Hipp with Zoot Sims

    ...and with Ed Thigpen (OK, @octothorpe ?).

    Thigpen played with Hipp on the previous release I've posted with her, and given she only recorded in the US in 1954-57, and then stopped...well, there's just not a lot out there.

    Having read up on her in the meantime, a rather tragic career...too bad.

    But - this is great regardless. Also features Jerry Lloyd (trumpet), Ahmed Abdul-Malik (bass).

  8. Sarah Vaughan, Duke Ellington: Song Book One, 1980 on Pablo Today

    First of two records of Sarah Vaughan doing Duke Ellington songs recorded in 1979 and released in 1980 (there is a Song Book Two, also released in 1980). Produced by Norman Granz, and engineered by Val Valentin and Bob Simpson.

    Supporting artists include Waymon Reed (trumpet), J. J. Johnson (trombone), Frank Foster (tenor sax), Frank Wess (flute, tenor sax), Zoot Sims (tenor sax), Jimmy Rowles & Mike Wofford (piano), Joe Pass & Bucky Pizzarelli (guitar), Andy Simpkins (bass), and Grady Tate (drums), with Billy Byers arranging and conducting.

    Pablo Today was a sub-label that started in 1979 and focused on “non-mainstream jazz” – not sure what that means but I’ve had great luck picking up Pablo records in general.

    My copy, via Beatnick Records in Montréal Québec, is an original 1980 US pressing. with “Manufactured by Pablo Records” rim text.

  10. Count Basie/Joe Turner - The Bosses

    Another late-period gem from Pablo (like you couldn’t tell, given the Pablo-esque cover), with Basie and crew backing up Turner in fine form. Blues front to back.

    Band includes Zoot Sims & Eddie Davis (tenor), JJ Johnson (trombone), Harry Edison (trumpet), Ray Brown (bass), Irving Ashby (guitar), and Louie Bellson (drums).

  17. Gerry Mulligan, California Concerts, 1955 on Pacific Jazz

    Collection of live recordings featuring the Gerry Mulligan Quartet on the A-Side and the Gerry Mulligan Sextet on the B-Side. The quartet here is with Jon Eardley, Red Mitchell, and Chico Hamilton; the sextet with Bob Brookmeyer, Zoot Sims, and Larry Bunker with Eardly and Mitchell.

    The A-side was recorded at Stockton High School in November 1954, the B-Side at Hoover High School in San Diego.

    My copy is an original mono pressing on Pacific Jazz from 1955, via Crossroads Records in Portland OR. The sleeve is pretty worn, but the vinyl sounds great.

  20. Update - the trombone player is Kai Winding. Not quite sure why his credit wasn’t in the main section…
