Interesting weekend coming up at #DazzleDenver - Friday night have tickets to see 2022 NEA Jazz Master Big Chief Donald Harrison Jr. and I have an option on Saturday night or Sunday to see Bill O'Connell Latin Jazz Quartet.
trying to organize interviews with both. They were both part of the post bankruptcy era #ctirecords V3 - and both appeared on the #CharlesFambrough Blues at Bradley laserdisc. I've converted it and will be posting on youtube next week. #BillOConnell #BigChiefDonaldHarrison

1968 verricht hij zijn eerste sessiewerk, op #GapMangione zijn album Diana in the Autumn Wind. In 1973 richt hij 2 bands op, jazzfusion band L'Image en maar gaf de voorkeur aan het werk in de studio.
Hij speelt vanaf dan vooral voor het jazzlabel #CTIrecords, oa voor #ChetBaker en #JimHall.
En drumt hij nummers in voor oa het album #aja van #SteelyDan en nummers en albums van #PaulSimon, #RickyLeeJones enz.
Na een tijd ging hij toch op tournee met de begeleidingsband van #PaulSimon

Yeah! Hopefully the first of a few. #CreedTaylor has an copyright free image back on his wikipedia page. Thanks to his sons Blake and John for helping me get this organized
Wikipedia isn't the wild west of information storage all the time!

It's been a fun few times talking to and poking about in the photographic, video and painting archive of Alan Kaplan. His picture from his social commentary "Study in Gray" - The Dull Life of Women in 1969 was used without permission or payment it seems on the cover of #DonSebesky album "Rape Of El Morro". In that context it's deep and brooding, seen in it's original context it takes on a whole different perspective. #CTIrecords #CreedTaylor

@caravan @vinylrecords I agree. The #TonePoet and Classic vinyl reissues are great! I'd add #ctirecords in when I can find them, and I'm happy!
I've had two great interviews this weekend with Alen MacWeeney. Alan was the ying to Pete Turners yang for album covers at CTI/KUDU. Where #PeteTurner did abstract, brightly colored covers that rarely included the artist, Alen included detailed closely cropped covers with a muted palate.
I'll be writing it up for ctproduced.com in May. In the meantime here are three great pictures Alen took. #CTIrecords #Kudu #CreedTaylor #AlenMacWeeney #AlbumArt #Vinyl #photography

New on ctproduced, The passing of Kwame Brathwaite. Rather than just make the same notes as everyone else, I tried to make it relevant and interesting.
I've got a uncredited album picture, two covers and details about George Benson "Live At Carnegie Hall" album that you won't read anywhere else.

The prices of 7 1/2 ips reel to reel tapes continue to defy gravity. I get that these are collectors items because notany were sold, but unless they've been stored in near perfect condition, they will unlikely play more than a couple of times. This one selling for $125

Happy 90th Birthday Q!
I have four, yes four longform articles on the intersection of Quincy Jones and Creed Taylor. Two young men that arrived in New York around the same time and set out to change music.

Farewell Bebeoto Castilho, a founding member of the Tamba Trio and later, the Tamba 4, died on March 10th, 2103, in Rio de Janeiro. Mr Castilho died at age 83, just a month short of his 84th birthday.
I have a look at his early work with Tamba Trio, links for his solo albums, the otherwise unknown 1962 flying visit to the USA to perform at the Mall of America and the Chicago International Trade Fair #CreedTaylor #CTIrecords #Tamba4 #ctproduced

Doug Payne's excellent CTI discography lists a CT 516 45/single, it never happened. Only this double-sided promo release of "Solo el Fin" (For All We Know).
Asides from a number of other things, this was the last single that used the original green CTI 1969 style labels, it was also the last record that Astrud Gilberto and Creed would release together. https://www.ctproduced.com/ct-516/

I've been off writing for ♪♫ International Women's Day (March 7 - 10)
The story of the little known/heard English language version of "(Where Do I Begin) Love Story" by Astrud Gilberto. The track is included!
It's the penultimate entry in Taylors Dozen, the first 14 promo singles released by #CreedTaylor on his newly independent #CTI #CTIrecords label.
For those that don't remember, as 1970 closed and 1971 started, the record business was in love with Love Story.
We've all read articles and watched videos on cleaning your old vinyl, I took a leap into the dark and actually experimented with cleaning my vinyl album covers, or at least all the #CTI A&M imprint covers.
Here is the post, a few before and after pictures and a video of the process.

What do you think, mad, dangerous, or huh - I'd have never thought of that!

If anyone out there in the #fediverse on #mastondon knows what became of Tony Sarafino, where Tony is now. Please get in touch.
I know a lot about Tony from his high school years through to 1985, after that he just vanishes. Yes, his actual name is Anthony R Sarafino. I added a bio sketch on discogs.

and again, just a reminder, using chatGPT for lists of facts will cost you more time verifying them that it would to have looked them up and written your own from scratch. #jazz #ctproduced #ctirecords #verve #impulse #abcrecords #kudu

Jim Hall - "Concierto" (1975) #NowPlaying #JimHall #PaulDesmond #ChetBaker #RolandHanna #vinylrecords #vinyl #CTIRecords @vinylrecords
I recall seeing this album referenced several times by Japanese jazz aficionados over on Twitter, which is generally the mark of a quality record. However, it's a little milquetoast to my ears.
