Guy Berger Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 I'm really digging this album. Profound music. Haden and Jones, both masters of economy, are just the right guys for this sort of thing. Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Lightning Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 I'm really digging this album. Profound music.

mikeweil Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 Will have to spin this again ..... back then I wished they would have taken some pieces at a slower pace. But the pairing and the program is intriguing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 One initial thought while listening: the bass is recorded in a way that makes Haden almost sound like Ron Carter! That ain't right .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnS Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 A nice set. Regretably it doesn't find it's way on to my player very often these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B. Goren. Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 I am also digging this album. I like also the two other duets Haden recorded: I'm talking about his recording with Ornette Coleman and with Danny Zeitlin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.D. Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 (edited) Yup, I dig this album a lot, though I too have some qualms about the way Haden's recorded. I'd also like to get a hold of the Hampton Hawes duet recording with Haden, but haven't yet bid high enough on eBay . Edited September 16, 2006 by T.D.

alocispepraluger102 Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 (edited) I am also digging this album. I like also the two other duets Haden recorded: I'm talking about his recording with Ornette Coleman and with Danny Zeitlin. he has a duets album with ornette, alice(on harp), keith, motian. the effort with alice is not to be missed. .....is performing somewhere in michigan this weeked with ravi and alice. there is an early zeitlin trio recording(my shining hour) on columbia with haden which remains one of the most subdued and thoughtful recordings i own. among the many selections is a beautiful 'lonely woman.' something is missing in steal away which i cant identify. all the parts are there and it is splendid. it just doesnt crack. i feel the the same about the gil evans, steve lacy paris duo.

Morganized Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 Yup, I dig this album a lot,................. I'd also like to get a hold of the Hampton Hawes duet recording with Haden, but haven't yet bid high enough on eBay . Yes T.D. The Hawes date is excellent. I do not know if I would pay ebay prices, either, but it is a very good session. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeweil Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 something is missing in steal away which i can't identify. all the parts are there and it is splendid. it just doesn't crack. Perhaps because it was a one shot deal, even though Haden wanted Hank Jones, and the latter readily accepted. I miss a dose of tranquility ...... i feel the the same about the gil evans, steve lacy paris duo. Now that's one that I thought was next to perfect ...... I think the recording quality has a lot to do with it in both cases - you hear and feel the rather sterile and acoustically dampened studio atmosphere a lot. No space in the sound.

Spontooneous Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 This album needs a remix real bad. The overbalanced bass makes my speakers jump off the stands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 (edited) Try using the bass controls? I know what you want to say, and hear it, but could it be a characteristic of your playback equipment that is a little pronounced on the low end?
