Just as good as the Phil Woods double. Gilad performed a couple of sets last night with his Orient House Ensemble. Pretty well a completely Coltrane setlist. Probably the finest performance I have seen from him and I have seen some good ones over the years. Gareth Williams brilliant too. With a flat calm sea and superb evening sea view in the bay, what more could one ask for ! Quote

This from 2010 is my favourite and it's something of a rarity nowadays. Greg told me the company went out of business shortly after - and I hope not because of - this record - Quote
soulpope Posted July 14, 2019 Report Posted July 14, 2019 The George Duvivier + Roy Haynes provided grooves are priceless indeed .... Quote
Bluesnik Posted July 14, 2019 Report Posted July 14, 2019 From the LPR collection though I have it as a digipack. With Dave Burns, Ray Copeland, Chick Corea and Willie Bobo on the first session only. It comprises 3 sessions. One with Attila Zoller. Quote

I'd put Screamin' the Blues on equal footing with Blues & the Abstract Truth as the highest points of Nelson's small group recordings. That said, I wouldn't want to be without ANY of them!

kinuta Posted July 14, 2019 Report Posted July 14, 2019 Orrin Evans - Mother's Touch Great session. This one slipped under my radar. Quote
Larry Kart Posted July 14, 2019 Report Posted July 14, 2019 Quite vividly recorded, which helps. Quote
Gheorghe Posted July 15, 2019 Report Posted July 15, 2019 (edited) During the last 2 weeks I have listened to a lot of Miles Davis records. This is one of my early favourits. I heard the title tune on a sampler when I was a Boy and it´s that tune that made me listen to jazz. And Sid´s Ahead is a great after Hours Blues, Coltrane is fantastic on this one. I only think that the trio tune "Billy Boy" could have been omitted. Otherwise I really love Red Garland, with his light tough and his Trademark chords, but on this silly tune he really sounds like he overdoes it and bangs them chords in a manner that´s not really typical for him. But then Comes that medium tempo "Straight No Chaser" which is Beautiful...…. Edited July 15, 2019 by Gheorghe Quote
sidewinder Posted July 15, 2019 Report Posted July 15, 2019 Suitably impressed by pianist John Donaldson and co. last night so bought the CD. Good stuff ! Quote
