soulpope Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 (edited) Can anyone confirm whether the Japanese version of this album (Somethin' Else TOC-J 50250) has any additional tracks to the eight that are on the original Spotlite CD? I`ve recently asked for this issue vie the LF thread....... Here we have the additional 5 tracks listed : http://www.discogs.com/Al-Haig-Trio-Invitation/release/1712336 A helpfull boardmember linked me to the Amazon.jp site, where one copy is on offer (for 220 USD + postage !!!) - as the info is written in japanese, not sure about the cd`s condition (could be "very good"), but (again in japanese) contentwise 13 tracks are listed...... As mentioned i would LOVE to hear these tracks (in whichever form...), but the forementioned offer on Amazon.jp was conditionwise too risky to me... Hopefully another boardmemner can spread a little bit light (or more...) on that.... Edited July 23, 2014 by soulpope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardbop Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) On the subject of Al Haig, does anyone know if the songs "Loner" and "Barcelona" off of the album "Blue Manhattan" are songs that he composed? I saw a reference somewhere that Barcelona was a Stephen Sondheim song, but when I listened to the original it sounded nothing like what Haig played, at least to my ears.

mikeweil Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 I had a copy but sold it many years ago, was rather underwhelmed by Haig's playing on this album. Each too his own taste. Too bad, would love to make someone here happy with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardbop Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 I guess I'll update my own post. The song Loner should have been titled "The Loner" and is credited to Cedar Walton and Ronnie Mathews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
