Kevin Bresnahan Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 1 hour ago, Larry Kart said: Bunky's best album, I believe. The aspects of his approach that had a big effect on Steve Coleman and Greg Osby and Rudresh Mahanthappa are clear. The bassist is Eddie Gomez, what steps can anyone take? I do like Bunky's Delos CD, "Healing The Pain" a lot. Maybe a bit more than this one. Regarding the bass sound, I'm just glad that the recording engineers stopped recording bass directly into the soundboard and started mic'ing them again. It sounds so unnatural. Eddie is a great bassist but that twang twang twung stuff makes him sound like every other 70's era recorded bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewinder Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 (edited) Really? I think I picked this one up for about 5 pounds, near mint. Shocked at how good it sounds as these Carrere reissues sometimes get bad press. Very good and hard swinging session indeed. Followed by 'John Jenkins/Kenny Burrell' (Toshiba). Another humanly-affordable reissue. Edited September 22, 2017 by sidewinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure he had a pretty good life doing session work of all sorts, on that one Thad/Mel album, played on "The second race" iirc, not at all phased by all that gloriously goofy mess that Thad threw at him. A lesson in survival, in its own way, not a great solo, but then again, he didn't back down or away, he just played with the band. And he got paid for the night. Survival. Another kind of survival, this time on Encounter Records (a very small but most uber-coll output of a label) from the early 70s, produced by Lloyd Price: Because, Eddie Harris couldn't make all the Eddie Harris records, could he now! But I like that shit, because, yes, derivative, intentionally so, but insincer, phony, fake, whatever, etc? Not as I hear it, again, not phased, just play the gig, play with the band, get paid, living being made, fair enough, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, they're not that far removed from how he played on some tracks from his Roost albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Bresnahan Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 Kenny Dorham - Una Mas (Blue Note). Blue label Liberty Van Gelder pressing. It's pressings like this where I realize that those bright RVG CDs aren't so far off from the original LPs as I originally thought. Rudy liked his midrange.

Strange, didn’t sound that deficient to me at the high frequencies. In fact, much better all round than I was expecting. I have the Music Matters 2x45 and will have to check how that lines up. No doubt, even better still. Edited September 24, 2017 by sidewinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
