I remember sitting in Hal's apartment with the whole crew -- musicians, families, girlfriends, etc. but not Joe Daley himself -- as they reacted to the then brand new album. A high-spirited, rather prickly, touchy gathering.. Joe's contributions did not escape criticism IIRC.

Where was his apartment then. I later spent time in him and his wife at their home in Lyons circa 1980.

Pleasant dates, though Quincy did no writing for them. I prefer the alto and tenor-baritone dates to the trumpet one. Good to hear Walter Benton; he didn't get showcased enough. Nice to hear Art Pepper and Benny Carter in tandem.

So I'm thinking, uh-oh, this is going to be one of those alleged records where Quincy Jones takes credit for somebody else's writing, but no, full and proper credit is given right there in plain black and white where nay even semi-literate fool could read it if the wanted to. And the cover says "supervised by", not arranged by! And the liner notes say that he was "commissioned to produce" the record, and then give full credit to who did the actual writing!

DESPICABLE!!!!! :g

I was making no accusation -- merely pointing out that QJ's name should not lead one to think that he did anything but supervise the project, as I assume he honorably did. BTW, the Johnny Mandel who wrote "Keester Parade" strikes again here, coming up with "London Derrierre."

 

Actually some of the album's originals are IIRC quite nice -- Giuffre's "Dancin' Pants" and "Mariano's "The Oom is Blues" in particular, maybe more. Aside from the sheer quality of the playing, one thing that makes the alto date nice is how distinctive each of the soloists is. One might be hard pressed nowadays to find four guys as specifically themselves and as topnotch as Pepper, Carter, Mariano, and Geller were. In fact, I get the sense that for these guys playing with each other was a rather moving experience (though there was little love, or even respect, lost between Geller and Pepper, Herb having stated more than once that he thought Pepper was very overrated and that he was the much superior player).
