Suffice it to say that when the trifecta of Hampton/Sebesky/Maiden got busy on both sides of the paper, a bit more attention to that got paid and that's why the Roulette set (and the Cameo & Mainstream records that followed). But this one here in not unlistenable at all, far from it. It's just a bit...splattery in terms of dynamics. Some good soloing, too! Excellent - have the RCA vinyls Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 25 January Bit of a Lee Morgan marathon: Taru, Sidewinder, Search for the New Land and Tom Cat. Tom Cat was the best of the bunch by far despite some gems in the other albums. Then moved on to Parlan's Spur of the Moment and it's better than every one of those Morgan sessions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 26 January 20 hours ago, jlhoots said: It just seems more focused & compositional to me than the few others I've tried. Could be Shipp's influence. Not sure. He's done others with Shipp, but this one just resonated more with me. As I listened to it more it comes across as Shipp guiding the playing, with Perelman frequently playing off of him. Kind of like a situation where Shipp and Dickey were the rudder for the session - and it's a really strong hand to the point where I was kind of surprised it's a "Perelman" trio recording. That doesn't really matter much in the end, but it was an impression I had. Regardless, it's a great album and left me wanting more from this trio, so hopefully there's more to come. And since I loved Dickey & Shipp so much on that record, NP is: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 26 January Received as a gift. Maynard had some excellent players and writers then, and the band definitely enjoys playing with their own spirit and flayvor. I still enjoy it also, on occasion. It's been such an occasion the last few days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 26 January Yesterday was the birthday of one of my favorite composers and musicians, Antonio Carlos Jobim. I'll celebrate today as I missed yesterday as an opportunity. SFJazz Collective "Compositions of Antonio Carlos Jobim & Original Compositions" disc 1, the really well done arrangements of Jobim's works, which are freed from Bossa nova tropes and cliches.
