Chuck Nessa Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 Different and interesting. If you don't get Braxton, forget it. If you are looking for boxes, get it. If you are interested in music, get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ayers Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 (edited) Only two new Braxton boxes this week. Hard times indeed. I'll look forward to hearing the final box of standards with Kevin O'Neil, though I'll be going the download route. Edited to add - I mean *three* AB box sets this week - see the AB thread. In answer to tranemonk's question: I make some suggestions in the AB thread about a measured approach to sampling his music which is not based on box set collection fever. I'd say you probably don't want to start with 4 CDs of duos with drums, and that the Mosaic is costly, given that some of the material is for completists only. There again, if box sets are what do it for you... Edited June 3, 2010 by David Ayers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmce Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 I'm intrigued. Not too familiar w/ Hemingway's work outside the AB Quartet, so I have just ordered Demon Chaser, Double Blues Crossing and Waltzes, Two Steps & Other Matters of the Heart.

Was just listening to "The Whimbler" last night. Really nice album, with Eskelin, Herb Robertson and Mark Helias. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATR Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 I'm intrigued. Not too familiar w/ Hemingway's work outside the AB Quartet, so I have just ordered Demon Chaser, Double Blues Crossing and Waltzes, Two Steps & Other Matters of the Heart. I suggest Down to the Wire and The Marmalade King on Hat. Not recent stuff, but good examples of his work. After all, he is an old dog. As for this box, it sounds like the format is much the same as the Clean Feed box with Joe Morris. Four duets, each about an hour long. Completely improvised. The difference is in the relationships. Morris didn't have much history, if any, of playing with Braxton whereas Hemingway did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martini Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Thanks for the heads up on Old Dogs. I pre-ordered a copy, and can't wait to hear these cats play together again. Friends and music. Sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clifford_thornton Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Yeah, I totally dig the set with Morris immensely. Will have to get Old Dogs as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JETman Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Actually, I'm more into Hemingway than I am into Braxton, but I'll have to get this as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd reccomend you to listen to all the GH quintet/quartet on Hat Hut. The american quartet with Helias (Johnny Corner Song, Devils Paradise) also performs great music.
