jazzbo Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 Is it cruel to say that I would love this session more if it weren't Ray Draper's and just a quartet with Coltrane? Great rhythm section behind the horns. Listening to this via the Coltrane "Side Steps" box set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not familiar with that one, but having heard Draper in a couple of other contexts, I can understand your feelings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlhoots Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 Sorry, but I think Draper always added a sort of mysterious touch to the sessions he was on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caught him live at the Jazz Gallery some ten years ago with a Mark  Helias group that included Herb Robertson, Craig Taborn, and IIRC Eric Harland, and Shim and everyone sounded terrific. Also, a perfect NYC-attitude experience  --  I was at the Jazz Gallery a few years ago and mentioned to the ticket taker at the door how mesmorable that Helias group performance was and how good Shim had sounded. He said with great certainty that Shim had never played at the Jazz Gallery. When I told him that I had in fact heard Shim there, he said, and not at all in a nice way (if such be possible), "You're lying." Too bad I really wanted to see the band I'd bought a ticket for that night; otherwise I would have torn it up and thrown the pieces in his face.

A New Yorker rude? Especially a hip music guy? (sounds like a scene out of High Fidelity; I am surprised they even let you into the Jazz Gallery).

duaneiac Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 I've been listening to the audiobook version of Harry Belafonte's autobiography. I'm only up to the point where he joined the Navy in 1944, but man, he had a pretty brutal childhood. Listening to Disc 3 of 5 from this Bear Family boxed set: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbo Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 Antonio Carlos Jobim, Stone Flower, this time the Japanese SHM-CD remastered by Rudy Van Gelder. Subtly different, a bit more forward, stronger bass. A neat way to hear this recording that I know so well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbo Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 Holy cow! The new three hybrid-SACD reissue of Santana's "Lotus" arrived from Japan. To call this a "deluxe reissue" is to damn it with very faint praise. Oversized. Incredible printing, card stock quality, etc. Lots to read. .. if you can read Japanese! Sound is exceptional.
