Beat Goes On has it as a 2 cd set now, probably sounds better than the Wounded Bird. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will always regret the fact that I missed that gig, although I did see his appearance afterwards at RFH, which was memorable. Can’t recall why I missed it !

Can’t recall why I missed it ! I recall Alan Barnes saying that as a student at Leeds College of Music he made the trip to Scott's to hear the master. Perhaps that's why many years later he named an album The Art Trip. Edited 29 Oct 2020 by BillF Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I only got to hear his solo rendition of ‘Over The Rainbow’ at that George Wein ‘Year of the Bird’ concert but it was memorable. The rest of the lineup - Gillespie, John Lewis, Freddie Hubbard, John Lewis, Lee Konitz, Slam Stewart, Roy Haynes, Curtis Fuller - and those are just the ones I remember !

Posted 29 Oct 2020 Herbie Hancock "Speak Like a Child" 24 bit by RVG Japan Blue Note cd (sort of gatefold cover!) Just arrived in the mail within a lot of 12 24 bit by RVG cds I won via auction. More duplicates than I would like, but I did get titles I really wanted, this one included, at a good price. And will have four to add to the sell pile.

Posted 29 Oct 2020 (edited) 55 minutes ago, BillF said: Wow! Forgot to mention the Brecker Brothers as well. Playing bebop ! I think James Moody was also on the bill. Possibly also Milt Jackson but not sure. There was also a UK rhythm section. Updated - Just found the JJI review. No Milt and Moody but Clark Terry and Kai Winding were included (Kai duetting with Curtis). The UK rhythm section was John Critchinson, Ron Mathewson and Martin Drew i.e. the Ronnie’s house team of that time. The RFH venue was last minute. It was originally scheduled for Ally Pally, which burnt down a few days before ! Edited 29 Oct 2020 by sidewinder Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it was during the university vacation and I was at home in Leeds. Fellow student (later jazz critic of the London Evening Standard) the late Jack Massarik told me he was there.

Posted 29 Oct 2020 Lou Donaldson "Alligator Boogaloo" 24 bit by RVG Blue Note Japan cd What a band! The leader is so soulful but never far from bebop, that adds a special layer to his work with organ trios in my book. Lou Donaldson - alto saxophone Melvin Lastie - cornet Lonnie Smith - organ George Benson - guitar Leo Morris (Idris Muhammad) - drums Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
