  6. Horace Silver - Live 1964.

    in Discography

    As I recall, "Live 64" was a vinyl only release.

    "The Natives Are RestlessTonight" CD first came out on Emerald, as pictured, but later showed up under the title "Re-Entry" on 32Jazz.

    Both of these are, in my opinion, essential for any Horace fan. "Natives" contains broadcast material from Alan Grant, in stereo.

    I wish there were three Mingus recordings on  Bethlehem, but aren't there only two--East Coasting and A Modern Jazz Symposium of Poetry and Music. The other 1957 Mingus recordings were on Atlantic, RCA and Jubilee.

    There are three:

    Jazz Experiments (BCP 65)

    East Coasting (BCP 6019)

    Modern Jazz Symposium of Jazz and Poetry (BCP 6026)

    While I never actually met him in person, Ruby listened to my late night radio show regularly, and called me many times - during the show, at work, and even at home. He was always warm and complimentary to me, although there was always a certain saltiness to him, particularly when the subject of club owners and bookers came up.  Many is the time he praised musicians with whom he had worked, and others he had met. I remember him praising Benny Goodman (who he admired), and raving about Roger Kellaway after they had done a project together, and one time he went on about Dave Brubeck. He also was enthusiastic about a number of the records I played, so we hit it off pretty well.

    Although I have heard all the stories, I got to know a kinder, gentler Ruby Braff.

    that site is an aggregator and not itself worth trusting. In other words, if you put in "Stereojack death hoax" it would come up with "Stereojack" in the place of "Paul Bley."

    DAMN. Sad news.

    Mea culpa. We live in an age when "news" travels fast, right or wrong. RIP, Mr. Bley

    I was a big fan back in the day, although I think they began to fizzle after the first three albums, which were brilliant:

    Gorilla, Urban Spacemen (aka The Doughnut in Granny's Greenhouse), Tadpoles.

    The fourth album Keynsham was uneven.

    The fifth and final album, Let's Make Up and be Friendly, was very weak, and struck me as a contract fulfiller.

    A fantastically versatile musician, even if his music was not to everyone's taste. IMO, it seems that he probably knew the end was near when he announced his retirement.

    RIP, Phil. Thank you for the many hours of musical pleasure you've brought to us.
