Listened to it yesterday again. Shortly after this I saw him live, most of the stuff from "Amsterdam". Fantastic !

Oscar Peterson was the first piano Player I heard on record, only because Maybe the schoolmate who had the Album didn´t have others than Oscar Peterson, who was quit en vogue in the 70´s especially by People who otherwise didn´t listen much to jazz. : Oscar Peterson and or Erroll Garner, thats it was. But my start was fine: The two Albums "Night Trane" and "We Get Requests" still get Spinning, since he Plays in a more spare manner on it and doesn´t exagerate the whole stuff. I sold all the other Peterson Albums and kept and Keep to enjoy those two, and for the combination with vocals the "In Tune" with the Singers Unlimited, also a Peterson in a more subdued manner…… nice !

I love the Album and reading a book by Cook About the Blue Note label he also mentioned the shortness of the Album. It´s stated that after the two forerunning Albums (Chicago Calling and Blowin Session) this is outright short. Anyway, Griffin´s contract with BN was only short, just 3 Albums in 2 years and that it was.

First I heard the wonderful ballad album of Trane with Johnny Hartman, and then, thinking about "Village Vanguard Again" (Trane with Pharoah) I decided to spin only Pharoah.

fantastic, a classic.

now I can see it, I remember I saw it once. I think 70´s , in any case after he recorded his last BN album and entered in his difficult semi inactive phase. But i don´t think it was from the 80´s. I saw one photo of Hank Mobley on the 1980 Tete Montoliu album and there he really looks like an old man.

"Ceora" by Lee Morgan, I hadn´t known that tune since I didn´t have the Album "Cornbread", but the trumpetplayer we play with had suggested it for our set list, since than I love to play it, nice changes.

Very fine !

I also saw him with George Coleman, Ray Drummond on bass and smiling Billy Higgins on drums ! It must have been early in 1979. I couldn´t have recognized Hilton Ruiz from that Video. I remember him as a small tiny guy…..

I can´t see the pic on my PC

I´ll never Forget the exitement of all of us when we read that Miles would return to record Studio and tour, and how we waited to be "Man with the Horn" and "We Want..." published. I have listened to Miles live on almost all ocasions he was in town from his comeback until his death, but this first band was the one I like most. It was brandnew then, but even had Moments were it seems they looked back . "Back Seat Betty" reminds me of "Miles runs the Vooodoo down" from Bitches Brew. "My Man´s Gone Now" is great, and "Kix" even has a lot of swing rhythm for long sections. It was said that Miles´ trumpet still didn´t sound properly, but play he does on those sides, much more than on the more celebrated later Shows which I didn´t like that much. "Star People" still was a quite good Album, but with "Decoy" I started to loose interest and if I spinned "You Are Under Arrest" or "Tutu" or "Amandla" more than 3 times in my life, I´d be very surprised…….

Always great to listen to. A great live recording of the "second quintet". Maybe the only Occasion on which Bud played "Satin Doll". Evidently because it´s reported that Ellington produced this album. The choose of the drummer "Kansas" Fields is a bit strange, normally Kenny Clarke was Bud´s drummer in Paris .

Belated Happy Birthday !

very fine the compositions and arrangements by Benny Golson

Nice story about a legendary album.

very very good statement.

hey, here it is.....

Yeah, Bud´s first trio recordings 1947 and a very fine set from 1953, when he still was at his peak. But he could still play up to his highest standards even 15 years later, as the 1962 set in Lausanne shows. I played it yesterday.

Great music , but I remember before I purchased it I read Bill Coles´ Miles Davis biography and he wrote it off, saying that it´s "an insult on the intellect of the people", but ...... he was wrong, it´s great.

Belated Happy Birthday, BFrank !

Sure ! And tell me if I´m wrong, but I always think that "Time for Tyner" is quite underrated. Sorry I can´t post the album cover now, but I just want to say about "Time for Tyner" that it´s fantastic with Bobby Hutcherson, Herbie Lewis and I think Freddie Waits on drums ? I have one of those Tiny cardboard CDs of it, hard to read the liner notes, but the music is just great.

I saw them live together at Jazzland. When was this album recorded ?

It is possible that I wanted to subscribe it in 1980 but got an answer something "they are making changes" ? I think one of the last editions was one with Sonny Rollins on the cover.

Great, I love this album
