The Real ShooBeeDoo (AKA Reggie Fields) has always been a consistent name on the Detroit jazz scene … Fields who played with Pharoah Sanders while he was living in Motor City, worked with Sun Ra in the late 1970s and early 80s and who was also a close associate of the Afro-centric TRIBE label and artist collective, leaving his marks on a few essential TRIBE sessions such as Phil Ranelin’s “The Time Is Now!” as well as Ranelin & Wendell Harrison’s masterpiece “A Message From The Tribe”.

It was Wendell Harrison who gave Fields the chance to record a solo album as a leader on his own WENHA imprint where “Reminiscing” found release in 1981. Reggie chose to record under his moniker “The Real ShooBeeDoo” because he built a rock-solid reputation as an internationally acclaimed performer under that name. This can later be heard on his fantastic ‘‘Live at Montreux Jazz Festival, 1982” album.

“Reminiscing” is a deep and rewarding spiritual jazz album with bass lines that can blow through walls as if they were made from paper. Foot stomping rhythmic beats and lyrics that are pure poetry, far-out (and less obvious) vocal duties … this all takes the avant-garde approach featured here on his album to new ‘cosmic’ heights. ‘Originality’, ‘unique’ and ‘standing out’ are the main key-words here.

Also…a quick closer look at the cast of players is most likely to be enough to get an impression that this is a special record. The album features an all-star line-up that includes Billy McCoy (Pharoah Sanders) on piano, Tani Tabbal (Roscoe Mitchell, Sun Ra) on percussion, Allan Barnes (Nina Simone, Bootsy Collins, Gill Scott-Heron) on saxophone, and Wendell Harrison (Tribe) himself on tenor saxophone/vocals.

Tidal Waves Music now proudly presents the first ever vinyl reissue of ‘Reminiscing’ since its release in 1981 (original copies tend to go for silly money on the second-hand market). This official reissue is now available as a deluxe 180g vinyl edition (limited to 500 copies).

An exclusive color vinyl variant for this release is available from BULL MOOSE (100 copies BLUE vinyl), BALADES SONORES (100 copies WHITE vinyl) & from LIGHT IN THE ATTIC (100 copies CLEAR vinyl).

@Mr Moore you might be interested in this record ;)

What a cover, that image of the guy / double bass playing himself!!!
 
Looks like Ill Considered 8 is on its way soon. Their last few releases have been fantastic musically, but their quality control is unfortunately quite poor. Plenty of warped records and skips on the ones I have had. Im now at the stage where I have a full set of playable records but the process of going back and forth wasnt great. Hopefully they have upped their game since the last release.

Is this a safe place?

Not a real Jazz guy; but I find myself enjoying Piano driven Jazz.

Digging this Bill Evans Trio - Sunday At The VV

Any recommendations? Thanks.

About 2 weeks late and 10 pages short, but I'm finally catching up on some threads. As someone who gravitates towards piano driven jazz, I felt compelled to reply with some of my favorites.

As mentioned previously, Ahmad Jamal Trio's The Awakening and Ryo Fukui's Scenery are both top-tier and stand out above the rest.

For further exploration, I highly suggest you give these a try

Dan Nimmer Trio - Tea For Two


Les McCann Ltd. - But Not Really


Hank Jones - Arigato


Eddie Thompson - A Jazz Portrait Of
 
Ash Walker - Aquamarine

A heavyweight astral shower of rhythm and vibes, Ash Walker’s third album ‘Aquamarine’ is set for release on 19th July via Night Time Stories. An avid collector of jazz, blues, soul, funk, reggae, and all things in-between; Ash has DJed far and wide... from the infamous Royal Mail squat party...

Aaaannnnd, the dude is flaking out now. Said some of the inner sleeves were torn. I asked to take a couple of bucks off. He said "Sure - I'll relist it." Crickets. :mad:

This is why we can't have nice things! (Or Favorite Things, in this case.)

Well, the guy kept sharing more "information" about the box - like the fact all the albums have been opened. And that Ole is dished. It's clear that he was just stringing me along. Baaaaad seller.

So, all that is to say that I'm back on the hunt for a Coltrane Atlantic mono box on a lightning deal (hopefully in the $60ish range).

🤬🤬🤬

That's cool, love their music but I'm still waiting for my Ill Considered Christmas album to be sent after it got lost in the post, replaced by a numbered Ill Considered 6 album and then went out of stock and they wait for more copies from the plant....
