Bill Nelson Posted May 9, 2004 Report Share Posted May 9, 2004 "Favorite songs"? Uhh, no. Fortunately, Lennie kept his singing in the closet and the shower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Burke Posted May 9, 2004 Report Share Posted May 9, 2004 Every time this thread pops back up I think about how fun it would be to own this set. Problem is, my most recent tax form included an $14,500 total income in 2003. (I'm in grad school.) Also, I have about 85% of the material in this box on LP already so I can't justify the expense. Great stuff, though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clunky Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 Spinning this set and the Wave CD -Jazz from the 1950s has made me curious re Don Ferrara. I've seen his name mentioned here and there. Any other recommendations of where to heard material featuring Ferrara?Very Cool is on order but anything else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 Spinning this set and the Wave CD -Jazz from the 1950s has made me curious re Don Ferrara. I've seen his name mentioned here and there. Any other recommendations of where to heard material featuring Ferrara?Very Cool is on order but anything else? Ferrara is also on that collection of 1957 Gerry Mulligan arrangements put out by CBS (I think it's called 'The Arranger') which features some very Gi-Evansish arrangements for a 15-ish size band. I think Ferrara is featured on 'All The Things You Are' on that collection. (I've heard Humphrey Lyttelton describe that one as 'A FairIsle sweater of an arrangement', which sums it up quite well.

Larry Kart Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 That's Don Joseph, not Don Ferrara, on Mulligan's "All the Things You Are." There's a lovely latter-day Joseph album on Uptown with Al Cohn. Joseph, Ferrara, Tony Fruscella, and Phil Sunkel (maybe a few others) were a kind of school of like-minded players -- very lyrical/linear, soft-cloudy in tone (like bebop Bobby Hacketts), rhythmically graceful, and with lots of harmonic imagination. I believe that Ferrara's best and most extended outing as a player is on Lee Konitz's OOP Verve album "Very Cool" (which may have been reissued in Japan). Playing Tristano-ish ideas on the trumpet is not an easy thing to do, but Ferrara did it. Another who did/does a nice job of that IMO is the Swedish veteran Jan Allan.

Larry Kart Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Sorry for being redundant. I see now that Clunky is on top of "Very Cool." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 I have Very Cool on a 24 bit Japanese Verve cd (UCCU-5172) and a battered lp (MGV-8209). It's a dandy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Kart Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 In case someone's curious, here are two Jan Allan links: http://www.stim.se/avd/mic/prod/jazzfacts....33;OpenDocument http://www.jam.just.nu/ The latter site, in Swedish only, displays a whole lot of albums. Those I've heard/have are very nice, particularly "Sweet and Lovely" and the one with guitarist Rune Gustaffson, bassist George Reidel (and a vocalist on some tracks--you can't win 'em all) doing all Lars Gullin tunes.

Clunky Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Jan Allan- 70 is well recommended- bigsih band charts with a cool Gil Evans like feel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quasimado Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Playing Tristano-ish ideas on the trumpet is not an easy thing to do, but Ferrara did it... He also did it for a couple of tracks with Lester live from Birdland '56 - Philology *Prez's Hat* vol. 3... Q Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 (edited) Just a heads-up if someone in the Bay Area is looking for this one: Ameoba Records in Berkeley have a used copy on sale for $119.00. Might want to call to make sure it's still there if you're interested. Edited July 30, 2007 by Matthew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
