GA Russell Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 I enjoy Wayne Shorter's 1964 Blue Note albums as a leader very much. It occurs to me that I'm a little vague about his work with Art Blakey in the 1963-64 time frame. Can anyone recommend just an album or two of Blakey's when Wayne was in the group from that time period? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ Shearn Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Mosaic was recorded in 1961, I think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.A.W. Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 (edited) Mosaic was recorded in 1961, I think? Correct. Shorter was with Blakey from 1959 to 1964, when he joined Miles Davis' quintet. Edited May 19, 2012 by J.A.W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete C Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 If I had to pick two of the above (excluding Mosaic), they'd be Free for All & Ugetsu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinmce Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 There is also Buhaina's Delight, Caravan & Golden BoyBut I guess since you said just two, that'd be Indestructible & Free For All. Never heard Kyoto but Ugetsu never really grabbed me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GA Russell Posted May 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Thanks guys! I'm pretty sure that I picked up Indestructible! from a bargain bin at Borders ten years ago, but have never opened it up. I'll put Free For All and Ugetsu on my Amazon wish list.

chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 indestructible! has to be the most un-talked about blue note album in history. i never see it, on any format, or hear any chatter about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 indestructible! has to be the most un-talked about blue note album in history. i never see it, on any format, or hear any chatter about it I prefer it to Free For All myself.

Bluesnik Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 yes, free for all is a very good and failproof choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 By all means, get FREE FOR ALL. It will blow you away! My personal second choice would be MOSAIC, but you won't be disappointed by any of the others mentioned here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyJazz Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Mosaic was recorded in 1961, I think? My very 1st Blakey album and still my favorite. "Children of the Night", "Mosaic", "Arabia", fantastic session!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WD45 Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 You'll be hard pressed to find a more intense Blakey performance than the title cut on "Free for All." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA Russell Posted July 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Congratulate me! I was going through a box of unopened CDs this evening, and found both Indestructible! and Ugetsu. So I pulled them both out and put them aside. I'll open one of them within the next couple of days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Congratulations. I predict you'll like both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
