...as the NYC doper's label in the 50's. When the guys would start to "get sick" they could often cobble together a quick record date for Weinstock, get some cash, and "get well".Allan points out that labels sometimes need to pay for rehearsals and prep time by musicians. Ironically, this is often the cause of record dates that sound like (are) pick-up dates. I know guys who have records out on Criss Cross and other labels who have great bands of their own. But the label execs fear new talent won't sell without big names on the record too. A pianist may have to make his debut recording with great players he's never even met before. All the acquaintence they may get is a couple of hours--not enough to build real rapport. The labels can't (or won't) pay the big names more money for more rehearsal. Thus, jazz recordings (especially by lesser known players on bigger labels) often reflect only a hint of what the artist can do in/with a band that really knows their playing. It's an unfortunate reality.
