Vinyl Me Please Classics

[keylime_5]

April is either Odetta & The Blues or Odetta's Sometimes I Feel Like Crying
I think May is Jimmy Smith - The Cat; June, Thelonious Monk - Monk's Music

So looks like I was about 3 or 4 months early in calling an Odetta album.

So they did get another Blue Note. Interesting.

Two actually, if they're doing Madlib's Shades of Blue for hip-hop (despite a forthcoming Tone Poet edition)

 

[yukbon]

Sublime for essentials. It'll be someone's jam I suppose

 

[Skalap]

Well. These three Classics better be something because the other tracks, if confirmed ,are quite disappointing

Monks music ain't bad...

 

[Skalap]

Oh sure I was talking about the other tracks, not the Classics.

I'm not on Discord, are these the front runners?

April - 1962 Folk-Blues Riverside (Odetta - Odetta and The Blues?)
EDIT: May - 1964 Organ-Jazz Blue Note (Stanley Turrentine w/ Shirley Scott - A Chip Off the Old Block or Big John Patton - The Way I Feel or "Baby Face" Willette - Mo' Rock?)
June - 1957 Hard Bop Riverside (Thelonious Monk - Brilliant Corners, Monk's Music or Thelonious Himself?)

April - 1962 Folk-Blues Riverside (Odetta - Odetta and The Blues?)
May - 1964 Soul-Jazz Blue Note (Stanley Turrentine - A Chip Off the Old Block (released in 1964) or In Memory Of (recorded in 1964)
June - 1957 Hard Bop Riverside (Thelonious Monk - Brilliant Corners, Monk's Music or Thelonious Himself?)

I think May is 'organ jazz' not 'soul jazz'

 

[TCell]

I think May is 'organ jazz' not 'soul jazz'

That makes A Chip Off the Old Block more likely than as Turrentine's wife Shirley Scott plays on it and is co-billed.
Or Big John Patton - The Way I Feel
Or "Baby Face" Willette - Mo' Rock

 

[Skalap]

So The Cat is out

 

[TCell]

Or it's this:

 

[yukbon]

yes

odetta and the blues
brown sugar
monk's music

Yeah, any of that 60's Shirley Scott material would be awesome, and a lot of it could benefit from a reissue, but she was primarily on Prestige so only a guest spot with Stanley would fit here

 

[jfitzy]

Well at least Classics is looking to be solid this upcoming quarter.

 

[Jeff Lerner]

I've wondered this before but can't remember if I've ever asked it here (apologies if I have): why has James Brown never been given the Classics treatment?

 

[yukbon]

That's a solid question, dude's got a bunch of records that are winners. Not that I'm complaining about a bunch of monk or miles or Coltrane ....

Yeah, I mean I don't anyone would dispute that he deserves it, so the fact that they haven't done one yet makes me think there is a reason, like an issue with his label or something like that. I guess that's my question, if anyone knows...is there something preventing a JB release.
