ASK PETE

i dont know a ton about dawn, but i can attest to this being great! in general, i love britjazz -- you know chris mcgregor's brotherhood of breath record? thats a killer in the same vein. i guess comus's first record is on dawn too! and a lot of mungo jerry.

ah! and now i see that these are different DAWNs. i dont know anything on that dawn. charlie rouse has a small but excellent body of work as a leader, and a LOT of work with monk. this sure looks good!

rouse's strata east record is one of favorites of the label

the jazzville records are good. that record by the 4 Most is kind of a dud and i love 50's vocal group jazz.

i love Seeco. the guy who started Dawn owned Seeco.

Dawn records aren't the most sought after jazz records, but they are really not easy to find.

Yeah I've seen most can be found under $50. I think I'm going to start collecting them. I'm really getting into 50's jazz especially if it boarders on thick easy listening vocal exotica. I love how the Les Jazz Modes song mixes the operatic vocals in!

So Seeco is a latin jazz label?

seeco put out tons of cool odd records. collect them all if you dare.

Hey Pete have you heard Pete La Roca's Turkish Women at the Bath? Is it a "different" sort of jazz record, worth tracking down? I noticed in a listing of exotica/outsider jazz records and wondered why they included it in the sells list.

i love that record!

ive never had that version, but i have/have had this bizarrely repackaged version: http://www.discogs.com/Chick-Corea-Bliss/release/1267813

once i get the OG (not actually too too hard or $$$ to find?) ill definitely hold on to it for life!

Happy Birthday Pete!! And Tyler too!
