Bruce Springsteen - The Promise (2-CD)

I'm looking forward to this one. I started losing interest in Springsteen with "The River" so it's going to be nice hearing some more stuff from the "Darkness On The Edge Of Town" era.

I had a moment of weakness/craziness :crazy: and bought from Amazon sellers; 3 Mosaic sets: HRS Sessions, Capitol Sessions and Buck Clayton Jam sessions

You're not weak or crazy. You're a man with good taste. :tup

Thanks! That makes me feel slightly better. I would have bought them from Mosaic but I didn't get into Mosaics until 2004 and it was too late for the Buck Clayton, the others I just missed out on. I am looking forward to adding 3 more Mosaics to my collection!!!!

And, I will fill you all in on my impressions. Though I am sure most have heard this music before. I think the Buck Clayton is gonna be great, the other two...I just HAD to get. I mean, they would be lonely without each other..right?

Oh, I forgot...to say thanks! I've always loved jazz and felt a strong connection to this music despite my peers liking hip hop and rap.

For those who don't know, a 2-disc set that couples the Royal Roost broadcasts of the BOTC band and the Paris 1949 set w/ Dameron. Not necessarily a legit release I don't think, but I've been needing both those sets for a while and the price is quite right (most copies are $2-3 on Amazon).

Interesting new altoist! With tune choices from Bud Powell, Monk, Clifford Brown, Rollins and Gigi Gryce, you'd expect Bird to be his primary influence, and while this may be true, there's both pre- and post-Bird influence in his playing - something of Benny Carter in his sound and, in common with so many latter-day altoists, just a hint of dissonance which I suppose derives ultimately from Ornette. He's certainly not an attacking player and, while this might be put down to youthful lack of confidence, he explains his quietness and fondness for the lower register to a decade's playing in New York restaurants and the need not to disturb diners! None of this adds up to cool in the 1950s or West Coast manner, though. So, a distinctive new alto voice.
