bertrand Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 (edited) 'the RVG Rumproller's previously unreleased version of Venus de Mildew' Is there an alternAte of this on The Rumproller CD?' Venus di Mildew' was already on the McMaster version of this CD, and probably on some Japanese LP as well before that. Bertrand.

'Search For The New Land' was number 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randyhersom Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 I listen to the Blue Note Lighthouse and Last Session more than any other Lee Morgan albums. Chops can be overrated. There's a later recording of Ted Curson where he plays Lin's Garden, and you can hear him struggle to play the theme, but the struggle just adds to the emotional impact. I can't be absolutely sure he didn't mean it that way, but it doesn't matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

felser Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 (edited) Bolstered, of course, by the presence of Billy Harper, who by that time was coming into his own as not only a tremendous saxophonist but also a fine composer. The particular treatments of Harper compositions on that album, IMO, surpass alternate versions on the saxophonist's solo albums--just goes to show what a sympathetic and adventurous band can accomplish (and there were certainly a few of those over the course of LM's recorded career, although just as many--and more--on the opposite end of things...). Agreed - The version of the wonderful "Capra Black" on Last Session is incredible, much stronger than even the title track version on Harper's first album. I have great respect for Scott Yanow's AMG reviews in general, but he really misses the boat on this album somehow.

chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 instead of "get away from me, you dirty bitch", lee morgans last words should of been: "get me my trumpet, you dirty bitch" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
