Does anyone have any further information on these re-iusses? I found a previous thread, but not much information: http://www.heavenly-sweetness.com and a google search brings up a SHF thread with conflicting information...

Lon, I also find it very difficult through Directions on the DVD to hear what Dave Holland is playing. I think this has more to do with the live mix. He does not have the definite sound that Chick's bass range has, and Jack's bass drum is mic'd to boom. Even in quiet passages, I want more out of the bass mic(s) than they seem to have mixed. I guess it sounded fine in the monitors? Still, once my ears find him, there he is. That, or the board engineer was doing what he could to gradually fix the mix? It seems to improve carefully into Bitches Brew.

On View At The Five Spot was one of the very first jazz records I checked out of the library as a sophomore in college. Imagine that. Tina Brooks... one of the first musicians I was exposed to in the music.

I know he was joking.

I thought he was joking.

Do tell.

Thanks for this!

Hey, I didn't say I hear Muscle Shoals... not bad for a pick-up game though! I'm rooting for them. I'm waiting to hear from Allen Lowe before giving an official opinion.

Their hype wave seems to have come and gone for the album already. Starbucks was even stocking the disc last July. They got heavy radio play here. I like the album and hope it influences younger bands who identify to dig deeper into soul music. That album was almost overnight Jim. They had an EP, a hit, then a record right quick. I'd like to bet that they are working on growing the sound, but time will tell. They haven't been a band for very long at all. I read that they had a few Grammy nominations. Personally, I hear talent Brooks. I haven't heard them live, and I missed the SNL performance, but I hear a Muscle Shoals thing big-time.

Quit using it a while ago. I don't have a reason to own 320k mp3s.

Tell me this is just an urban legend. I don't want to have to blame a man for whom I otherwise have the highest respect for this wore-out piece of emo blather. That, and this: "How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are?"

Yeah, that's fair enough. I just haven't...healed enough to accept it that well.HA! But let's imagine the difference if we dropped in what was Nelson's LA pianist of choice that time, Roger Kellaway... When in LA, do as the LAians do... What was that?!! Holy shit!

I see a couple of those all the time. I had no idea he was to be credited for them. Thanks.

So: "Please do it exactly [as/like/how] we did it last time." Why is "how" wrong? Or is it okay, too? They all work for me. Please do it exactly the way we did it last time.

Well thanks for answering then!

This album apparently won a Grammy for R&B album of the year.

Listen to him play the baseline during this bass solo. If rhythm was not his strong point, he just got lucky that night!

I've seen them a couple of times in VA. I think they are from North Texas?

Thanks. New names for me...

Thanks uli. Any idea who the other musician is?

Didn't Merge Records win best album two years ago, and Jagjaguar last year? Two very small labels.

Here's a group of these guys at NAMM nerding out. Chris Dave is the drummer and Thundercat is playing bass. I don't know who the other two are.

Allen, "beats" has a completely different connotation with regard to hip hop and r&b. Glasper has been a "session" musician associated with the Soulquarians collective. Everything that y'all have responded to over the last few years has been hype. Most of these folks, Dilla included, never made any such claims, nor did they seem to care. They were just making their music. To be clear, Allen, Dilla was not a drummer.

Nah. He's gone, but thanks for the cigarette. And the Phineas.

People you know who like hip hop aren't aware of J Dilla? That doesn't seem possible. A Tribe Called Quest De La Soul Slum Village Pharcyde The Roots D'Angelo Badu Mos Def Common Talib Qweli Amp Fiddler Madlib Oh No Ghostface Raekwon I'm definitely forgetting some others. That Dwele album! Good grief. So damn good. The whole Soulquarians collective is one thing, but James Yancey was another in and of itself.
