A favorite... rip

Indeed ..... bought as new release in 1979 .... those were the days ....

Their album is very nice. Sorry to hear the news

👍

Christian Escoudé rehearsing with Charlie Haden @ Saint-Denis France in 1989 (Photography : Guy Le Querrec) .... R.I.P ....

IIRC He's also with Gil in the Royal Albert Hall concerts (Or is it the Queen Elizabeth Hall?).

Ah. Thank you for the illumination.

When the power and glory of Earth, Wind & Fire finally broke free ....

Just found it! BTW this is a very good recording, interpretation and sound-wise, of very rare music, and using the proper piano, a Silbermann copy!

Understood, thnx ....

I know, but right now there is no other source for the cover, not even on the label's website. I intend to replace it as soon it is featured somewhere else. BTW I as the poster, see it too!

Two of the shelves in my basement are from IKEA also. I love the framed albums & glass display case! Very nice touches!

apparently there are recordings but to my knowledge none have been issued. https://www.wm.edu/as/africanastudies/middlepassage/play/playwright/

It's great to see the Night Music videos. That was a fine show, and we will probably never see one like that again. ;;

I don't know if there's a recording of them!

Great link

YES!!!!

Sanborn on Phillip Wilson and the St. Louis scene in general: https://iverson.substack.com/p/tt-404-david-sanborn-on-phillip-wilson Check it out.

caught a break 8 - HBD as others have cited. Least favorite so far. No guesses. 9 - A kiss is still a kiss song which I don't know the official title of. Player ID'd on this very nice song. 10 - This starts out so good and then fizzles a bit. Is/was the sax player young at the time of recording? The drum/bass portions are the best. Sax player always comes in strong at first but just loses ground quickly. 11 - Missing link between some North African style and American bluegrass? I'm largely ignorant on that region and India (other parts of Asia as well) in case that is represented here too. I would enjoy bluegrass festivals a lot more if something like this was present because I definitely hear it in those interludes. Eager for the reveal on this one. That percussion is powerful. 12 - The production of this track holds it back from being better. It has so much potential weight - I'm betting this is great live. 13 - Nice - 2 organ tunes in a row. Production is better here, by miles. Guitarist throws an homage to Grant Green in there with those repeated notes? Hilarious if so. Because I'm 100% sure it ain't Grant. This one comes much later but has an authentic throw back feel that comes from a good place. Damn, another one I'm waiting to be revealed. 14 - Ok, I totally missed this my first time through. I've never heard this shit live and damn it's so good. I never thought of seeking out live tracks of the OPs (and others). Going to have to remedy that!!! Once again, thanks for putting this together!

I'm a big fan of this one, however for some reason or another I got rid of it at one point and it's not so easy to replace for the amount I bought it for the first time:

Good stuff.

Yes, see also track 1 on Side II on LP and track 09 on CD: " Malipiero's midnight theatre", dedicated to Luigi Malipiero, director of the theatre!

Returning to this with more time... 1 - I get more Hubbard than Morgan from the trumpet. Is it their date? As I've learned here, drum mic'ing can indicate time frame of recording, and that here is where all parts of the kit seem mic'd. That should indicate a more recent recording but I still don't have any guesses. 2 - The playing is great and I like some of the interactions, especially in the last 3rd. Sounds like they could play this more balls out and muscular but they ended up striving for subtlety which at worst is getting too cute with things, but these players keep it on the better side of cerebral because there's some good convos in here. I like this the more i listen to it actually. 3 - Charles Lloyd-esque, but the playing from the tenor sounds less direct. Overall the song is nice. Near the end it dips into trio level and that was my favorite part. 4 - This is different for sure. I have no guesses. Eager to find out who this is. 5 - Ha, I like the beginning. There's some humor there. Especially as to how they follow that up. I really like this but no guesses. 6 - Looks like this one has been guessed and now I can't believe I missed this song and guitarist the first time around. Nice add. 7 - Excellent. No idea but I dig it. Will need to revisit the rest soon.
