The Magnificent Goldberg Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 For some reason, I didn't see this thread when it started. I've got a couple of queries. UCCO 9462 Lawrence, Azar(ts,ss) / Bridge Into The New Age* 2300 UCCO 9463 Bartz, Gary(as) / I've Known Rivers And Other Bodies* 2300 UCCO 9464 Bartz, Gary(as) / Harlem Bush Music: Taifa* 2300 UCCO 9465 Bartz, Gary(as) / Harlem Bush Music: Uhuru* 2300 I've always been somewhat curious about these releases. But sometimes I like Bartz, sometimes I don't. Anyone like to chime in and say what kind of music is on them? VICJ 61547(SHM CD) Green, Benny(tb) / Benny Green With Sonny Rollins 3000 Never heard of this. Anyone know anything about it? Oh, and a big YEAHHHH! for Freddie McCoy's "Spider man"!

MG I can give a to the Bartz and Lawrence titles. I've Known Rivers is to me Bartz's masterpiece, recorded live at Montreux in 1973. All of the Bartz titles are uncompromised by any commercial considerations (which shortly thereafter ruined his work for a decade), yet seek a unique musical/spiritual fusion. I did an AOTW on 'I've Known Rivers' a couple years ago, it should still be out in that section. Andy Bey is on the Harlem Bush Music albums, Bartz does all of the singing (very well) on Rivers. The Lawrence is also excellent, again a very unique and uncompromised vision. The Bartz's are available in less expensive domestic versions (in fact the two Harlem Bush Music albums make up one twofer Milestone CD, and Rivers was a two record set also available on a single CD), but this is the first CD release for the Lawrence, and is worth the import money.

sidewinder Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 (edited) There's a very good compilation of tracks from these Gary Bartz Milestone albums on Soul Brother Records' 'Gary Bartz Anthology' CD/2LP set - I think Dusty has had it in stock of late. A strong period for Bartz. Edited November 1, 2008 by sidewinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone like to chime in and say what kind of music is on them? Strong Strata-East vibe but with a hint of Bartz's work with Miles and infusions of soul (Andy Bey is on vocals for some of these sessions, Bartz also does vocals). I actually caught him live doing the 'I've Known Rivers' and 'Uhuru' vocals just a few years ago and very good it was too. Shared the bill with Eddie Henderson.

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Thanks folks. How does Bartz' playing on these compare with what he was doing on Gene Ammons' "Goodbye"? MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluerein Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 it doesn't compare at all imo. He's much more straight on the Ammons date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel A Posted November 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Updated for the last time this year. Not sure I'll be able to keep up with updating a thread like this for 2009. I'll try of course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Englewood Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 So did anyone actually purchase a SHM CD??? If so what are they like??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 VICJ 61547(SHM CD) Green, Benny(tb) / Benny Green With Sonny Rollins 3000 Never heard of this. Anyone know anything about it? As the preceding and subsequent titles are all albums originally released on Time Records, I strongly suspect this is Bennie Green's only Time LP, on which there was a Sonny named Clark. I don't know of any Bennie Green session with Sonny Rollins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
