Father of Candy Dulfer, but we won't hold that against him. I've never heard of him until this thread. The time (1971) and personnel are intriguing.

What can I say? I'm a sucker for tuneful British Invasion! "I Think of You" went to #5 in England in 1963, and should have crossed over to US charts in 1964. It and "I'm Alive" by the Hollies (#1 in England in 1965) are two great total misses on the US charts.

That Tyner solo is my favorite part of the performance. Outstanding.

I'm big on Herwig.

BTW, the "Live at the Roundhouse" release is pretty awesome!

Unless you are in PD land:

Did it tell you anything you didn't already know from "In Europe" and "My Funny Valentine/Four and More"?

Interesting on Concord. I didn't find any of their Monterey releases all that compelling. Nothing wrong with them, but nothing particularly special either. Seems like there should have been better choices to be made, especially given some of the landmark releases from there on other labels (John Handy, Mingus, Charles Lloyd, Randy Weston even Bola Sete). But then again, it's Concord, where blandness is always the order of the day.

Comedians often don't translate well across countries, and Sahl's heyday was 60 years ago, so understandable.

Brilliant line. Sahl was 94. I've never actually really heard him. I've made a point of picking up collections of comedians from that era (Lenny Bruce before he melted down, Jonathan Winters, Shelley Berman, Bob Newhart, Stan Freberg, Tom Lehrer), but some of interest to me, such as Sahl, Steve Allen, and Dick Gregory have not been well-represented on CD reissues for whatever reason.

The horns absolutely are not inaudible or anything close to that. They're just lower in the mix than they should be. The basses are also lower than they should be (and take too many solos/duos!), and Elvin is higher than he should be. Fair point about not everything needs to be released, but this most assuredly did need to be, warts and all. Staggeringly important historical document, and bracing if imperfect music.

I file them by whoever organized and arranged the date. Often either Charles or Waldron.

By the second time through, when I knew what to expect soundwise, it didn't really bother me, though it's far from optimal. This performance is something very different than the original album, they strive for different ends. This is more than twice as long, with more solos to fit in. NOTHING will ever replace the beauty of the original for me, but this is a very necessary work to have in a different way.

And shoot his mouth.

What was the string of sax players for Davis between Coltrane/Adderley and Shorter? I'm aware of Mobley, Stitt, Rollins, Coleman, and Rivers. I'm sure there are many stories there?

Some Enchanted Evening, Walking in the Rain, Crying,, This Magic Moment,, Sunday and Me.. Cara Mia started as a B side. And I love She Cried most of all. Though I realize that was the previous Jay (Traynor).

Oh yeah, quite a few. Check Discogs. "Coltrane's Sound" came out in 1964, "Bahia" in 1965.

My nomination:

I have the Blakey, got it from Mosaic back in the day. They are nicely done posters. I couldn't afford to do them all back then.

Was thrilled to get this for $50 on Discogs!

LOUD.

I was starting to type up my impressions, but won't bother now. ep1str0phy nailed the essence of the thing much better than I could, and I totally agree with his descriptions.

Got a shipped notice on mine from Amazon. Delivery tomorrow.

OTB - Out of the Blue. Used that as my answering machine greeting back when we had such things.

Sales wise, absolutely.
