Tom 1960 Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 I don't believe there has been any discussion on this release. I could be wrong. I saw this in an area music store earlier today. Any thoughts? One review on Amazon complained of the sound quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 I've played it through once so far and like it. Sound quality is not unlike the other High Note live Woody Shaw volumes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdw Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Thanks for the heads-up, Tom1960 and Lon. I had missed out on hearing of this new release. And it's "Volume 1...." Woody Shaw III and HighNote deserve recognition for all their archival Shaw releases the past 15-or-so years... John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewinder Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) I remember reading a Melody Maker live gig review back when this tour took place. They played a week or two at Ronnie Scotts and at some stage Cook and Shaw nearly came to blows on the stage. Never heard the full story but that was the end of the band I believe.

mr jazz Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 I preordered this but haven't received it yet. I will have to investigate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdw Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 Just a heads-up about the other "recent" (well, released in 2012) HighNote Woody Shaw release entitled "Woody Plays Woody": The CD is simply a compilation of previously-released tracks from the four other volumes of live Shaw material on HighNote. The CD features only Shaw compositions - hence the title. The current description of the CD at the HighNote website doesn't mention it is made up of previously-released tracks, either.

king ubu Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 Volume Two is out now: Goes for just € 12,50 at amazon.fr currently: https://www.amazon.fr/gp/aw/d/B073RQY6LG/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 It's quite good, though it's not quite as interesting musically as Vol.1 with all the Shaw tunes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Shearn Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 I gotta pick both volumes up. When I approached Woody Shaw III with the idea of doing a podcast when the first volume hit, he wasn't that keen on the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
