I suppose that most of my comments are on posts in the listening thread as I was listening. I really like this set. The mastering is excellent. I'm a big fan of this period of jazz and there are great performances.

I'm sorry Peter, My fault. I did not express specifically what I meant by "roller-rink" organists. On Quebec's 45 sessions, it does have that hoaky "roller-rink" organ sound, but by no means, did I mean to include, group, catergorize or generalize other organists within that genre, such as Larry Young, Lonnie Smith, or John Patton, who don't sound roller-rink hoaky whatsoever! Just Edwin Swanston, Sir Charles Thompson, and Earl Van Dyke do! Hope that clarifies my postion more. HG Wow, something hooky-dinky going on here, thought I already posted this post. Anyway, I also believe Freddie Roach's sound is a little rolly-rinky as I juxtapose Freddie's sound to Larry Young's. Wow, what a contrast!

Rip! He was a great bass player

This set is currently on Last Chance, due to the license having expired.

Not much discussion about this one since its release. Hardly any at all, actually... Now that it's on Last Chance, I'm trying to decide if it's something I need. Any thoughts from those who have the set? (It's also on sale right now, for those who are wanting to pick it up before it's gone...)

Last night, classical/flamenco guitarist Grisha Goryachev at Unity of Dallas.

Thanks for listening, and by all means, keep sluting! I actually listen to a fair amount of ECM, and willingly so. But that's not Jimmy Giuffre. Nor is it Gil Evans or Charles Lloyd. We do have some Gil Evans things in here, though!

Just ordered a copy of his solo album. Just the kind of jazz I want to hear at the moment. It is still available. I knew him from Norman Connors' albums, he appeared to me as a very good, if not too original pianist. I heard some Hancock influence as well. The majority of his recording activity definitely was in soul/pop circles, but, like many others, he never neglected his jazz activities. Among his many sideman credits are Woody Shaw as well as Roy Ayers and Phillys Hyman. A true professional.

So who gets JSngry to willingly listen to ECM? Maybe Jimmy Giuffre? That might not be later than Gil Evans. Charles Lloyd?

1. no clue 2. Gil Evans, probably from The Individualism Of 3. Keeps the mood wonderfully. Wayne Shorter? 4. I think this is to be found on the Classical shelves. I was thinking maybe part of Debussy's sonata for Flute, Viola and Harp, but I hear a other instruments in there too, so no. 5. Introduces subtle vocals, still keeping the mood. I'd be surprised if it is actually who it sounds like, Norah Jones. 6. Taking the tempo up a bit. Could easily be on the Black and Blue label. Illinois Jacquet? 7. Trumpet feature with a hint of (Brazilian?) percussion. Kenny Dorham? 8. Conga heavy beat in the intro. I should know this if it's McCoy Tyner. The piano playing is of that level. 9. Latin percussion, flute and guitar. Gabor Szabo? Chico with Dolphy? 10. Expressive tenor sax. Ben Webster?

To me, the best introduction to Parker, and in very good sound. You get it all in one set, without the many alternates, the music as the record buying public heard it back then.

Too bad. Amazing sound on the instrument.
