I had a Japanese one volume and edition which omits a side of trio material and a side with strings ( roughly). The latter were much better than I expected.

Yes, I'm thoroughly enjoying it and hoping the neighbours are too...or they're out at work I have Mine's "2nd Album" which I bought on spec for some reason I don't now recall.I need to dig that out again as I remember being impressed (and I've still not got round to "Tao Of Mad Phat"..ho, hum, too much music etc etc) Edited May 9, 2018 by mjazzg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. I'll have to look into those. I wasn't aware that Baker had made recordings with Michel Graillier. (I've tended to focus more on the recs from the 70s.) Incidentally, I also prefer late-period Baker to the earlier recordings. I'd count Peace and Broken Wing (with Phil Markowitz and J-F Jenny-Clark) as my favorites.

I assume it's a matter of licensing through Warner/Atlantic, if they even have the tapes any longer. From what I recall of Dixonia it's not clear whether there are any additional recordings from those sessions. But alas, as much as I'd like to be a contractor for more of these types of releases on Now-Again, he's got enough other projects in the works that it's really hard to say what'll happen.

No particular reason, other than I was spinning and listening to a couple of LPs and took Improvising off of the shelf. And the music is sensational.

JSngry Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 The two The Art Of Improvising LPs make for a totally different listening experience than do the Half Note sessions. I'd not be without any of it, but for going deep into Warne Marsh, the Revelation LPs force you to confront it head on, no buffers of heads, other soloists, nothing but Warne improvising - and with so little piano behind him on those excerpts, if you don't know how to listen to bass lines, you may well be at a loss as to what changes are being played. When Lennie made that program, he knew exactly what he was doing. They're niche documents for most people, to be sure, but if you're gonna get hardcore with Warne, they are essential documents.
