All Activity

lovely album.

Original LP

LP 1

I just ordered the Oliver Lake and the Dave Burrell / Sam Woodyard.

All kinds of creepy.

The backstory to that record has much more intrigue than any Bond movie...

This version? I like it!!!

I've been enjoying this one all over again. Roy Brooks' touch is so light.

Yes, Horwich told me the same thing. I still like the original cover better, but I guess it's good to now have both.

At least we should be able to audition the Tiberi tapes (at some point) on YouTube before pulling the trigger on a box set. Sometimes, when I'm just about to make a CD purchase, I hop over to YouTube for another discretionary listen. I've ended up saving $ (e.g. no purchase) this way.🤨

+1

And, for classical music, Opus Kura. I also really like the Harlequin label, where you can find -->

I always found that Joe played Invitation too fast for the melody to really shine. Many play it for the changes, but Kaper's melodies deserve serious attention. My favourites are Cal Tjader and Milt Jackson.

This one is a lot of fun. McFarland is always a stamp of musicality.

That Rosemary Clooney version is really nice—it sounds like it should be played while credits for a James Bond movie crawl up the screen. Goodness—I have that Lucky Thompson disc...and spaced it contained "Invitation." I need to spin it soon! I dig Joe on that Roy Haynes record!👌 I haven't heard the Konitz or Friedman versions. Need to change that.
