Hardbopjazz Posted May 1, 2018 Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 I guess this never made it to the digital world. I will order this one when it comes out on CD. http://www.corbettvsdempsey.com/2018/04/11/albumbeaver-harrisdon-pullen-360o-experience-well-kept-secret/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

felser Posted May 1, 2018 Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 I've heard some of the other steel drums material Harris did, was not knocked out by it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted May 1, 2018 Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 Ralph Steadman cover, and an intriguingly post-Mingus band at the core. I've had From Ragtime to No Time for a long time, and it's pretty good, but I'm thinking this one might be a little different in some crucial ways. We'll see!

clifford_thornton Posted May 1, 2018 Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 Don't have this one on LP, so I'm eager to check it out. I do like the steel drum-heavy Timeless album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Ayers Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 Perhaps amazingly, the original vinyl is still in print. The whole thing is currently on youtube. Not for everyone... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 I've had the CD in the car for a few days, and: Steel drums are hardly there, all things considered, They're certainly not any kind of "focus" of the music, although there are a few times where they're used as a tonal effect that is weirdly synth/electronic-like Don Pullen plays great from beginning to end Horn solos are essentially non-existent Buster Williams turn in a gem of a performance. It's so nice to hear him drop down to a low tonic note and hit it dead-on without any ambivalence of pitch or inflection, just BOOM there it is. I like the record more than love it, but have zero regret about buying it and would cetainly buy it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole was much less than the sum of the parts. That being said, the title in discussion here, "Well Kept Secret" sounds more substantial as I listen to samples.

JSngry Posted May 29, 2018 Report Share Posted May 29, 2018 Yeah, same here for that one. This one is more engaging, to me, anyway, but I would have preferred more/some horn solos. Preferences aside, though, it's probably going to appeal to people today more than In-Sanity did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjazzg Posted May 29, 2018 Report Share Posted May 29, 2018 (edited) I'm listening to 'In:Sanity' now and I hear a good album in there trying to struggle out. Oddly for a drummer-led date it's sounding a bit rhythmically constipated (and the muddy mix doesn't help either). I'm not sure the writing's there to support the larger ensemble either and when it breaks free from the arrangements a bit it sounds more vital. Still a fine line-up. I very much rate 'A Well Kept Secret' and also the Timeless date ' Beaver Is My Name' but then I like a steel pan or two - it's a London thing Edited May 29, 2018 by mjazzg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
