  1. At the core of Billy's music is a feeling that life is a blessing, and that life is sacred, That's probably true of all great music (and lots of not-so-great music), but not too often does somebody have the courage and passion to state it so directly and unambiguously. At least not in the "secular" realm, which perhaps raises the question - is Billy Harper's music in the least bit "secular"?

    Truthfully, I don't think it is. What, if anything that "means" I don't know. But surely it means something.

    Totally totally with you on this, have always felt that, but chose not to dwell on it in the initial post for this to avoid any kneejerk reaction posts to spoil the thread. Some of the answers likely come in Harper's upbringing, if you're familiar with that. Harper's playing, more than anyone's, has always represented the sound of LIFE to me. It's in the compositions, in the solos, and, as pointed out, in the very sound he gets from the instrument. That sound is what grabbed me when I first heard him on the 'Lee Morgan' 2CD set. And he radiates this life, this presence, from the bandstand in his being also.

  2. i see harper is on some recent blakey live discs and i am interested. think priester is on them too. interesting combo. 68-ish. i bet the sound quality sucks though.....

    Sound quality, while not great, isn't that bad, and it's really interesting material. Harper has a feature on "You Don't Know What Love Is" which is pretty wonderful. Only Messengers appearance on recording for Harper, Priester, and Mathews (and Evans, the bass player) as far as I know.

  3. The biggest challenge for my when discussing Harper is to properly harness my enthusiasm and avoid hyperbole. I wouldn't make the argument that 'Capra Black' is his best album (though it is excellent, as are all of his albums - there I go). but it was his first, and on Strata-East to boot, so seems like the best vehicle to discuss this magnificent artist and also to again discuss the great Strata-East label and lament the lack of availability of the albums it released. I first heard Harper on the 'Lee Morgan' album (though he had recorded previously with Max Roach and maybe others - I had just gotten into jazz in 1972 and Lee Morgan's Live at the Lighthouse was the first album I bought. I also bought a 2LP set of the best of Herbie Hancock's Blue Note recordings at the same time. Both were attractive because they were 2 LP's for the price of one plus $1. Needless to say, I've never regretted either purchase.), and was blown away by the majesty of his playing and composing (the first released version of "Capra Black" took up an entire LP side. I had never heard anything like it and just kept playing it over and over again).

    The next year, the 'Capra Black' album came out on Strata-East. This offered another stirring version of the title track and several other examples of his compostional and improvisational depth ('Sir Gallahad', 'New Breed','Soulfully I Love You/Black Spiritual of Love',and the stirring 'Cry of Hunger', which makes equally strong social and musical statements). The supporting musicians on this album include Elvin Jones, George Cables, Reggie Workman, Julian Priester and Jimmy Owens, but what you come away remembering is Harper. In this period, Harper played in the top groups of the era (Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, Max Roach, Gil Evans, Elvin Jones, Thad Jones/Mel Lewis), and since then has lead his own long standing group and has taught extensively. He still releases a new CD every few years, and they are still marvelous musical statements. My wife and I saw Harper live at the Painted Bride Art Center in Philadelphia ca. 1992, and we were struck both by the great music he and his group produced, and by the dignity he exuded from the stage. Harper is one of a kind, and if you aren't familiar with his work, start anywhere ('Destiny Is Yours' has special significance to me) and dive in deep.

  6. I don't have the poetic words for this as the previous posters do, partly because I don't have the same warm feelings for the work. I do find it "interesting", as I do most of Coltrane's late work ('Expression' is largely lost on me and 'Om' is impossible to take at the beginning), but rarely listen to it. I agree with the previous comments of this music lacking "context" which makes it a stretch for me to truly enjoy. Trane's playing is technically marvelous indeed here, but to what end? I agree that Elvin Jones could not have done this (he and Tyner sounded lost to me on their final recordings with Trane), but I get much much more out of something like the sax/drum breaks in the various recordings such as "Afro-Blue" or "Your Lady" from '63 than I do from this. And also get much much more from contextualized works such "Alabama' and 'Transition' and, of course, 'A Love Supreme'. Those are what I go back to time and again, not this album.

  7. Excepting bonus material and such, have most of the original albums from this set each come out as individual CD releases (domestic, a.k.a. in the US) over the years? I'm so NOT on top of this material, it's not even funny.

    I really don't have very much Kirk ( two or three discs at most :ph34r: ), but have mostly liked what I've heard over the years.

    Like I said, tempting...

    Leaving out the Bonus material....

    Disc 1 "We Free Kings"

    Disc 2 "Tubby's Back in Town"

    Disc 3 "Domino" and "Reeds & Deeds"

    Disc 4 "Reeds & Deeds" and "Roland Kirk meets Benny Golson"

    Disc 5 "Kirk in Copenhagen"

    Disc 6 "Kirk in Copenhagen"

    Disc 7 "45s" and "Gifts & Messages"

    Disc 8 "I Talk With the Spirits"

    Disc 9 "Rip, Rig & Panic" and "Slightly Latin"

    Disc 10 Quincy Jones and his Orchestra and Quincy Jones Big Band. (Not sure the titles)

    That's as far as I can describe it...

    To the best of my knowledge, "Kings","Domino"."Copenhagen","Spirits", and "Rip Rig Panic" have come out on CD, the others haven't (at least domestically). Universal put out the original 6 cut "Copenhagen" album on CD, and the dreaded (on this board) Lonehill put out the whole two discs worth, with additional bonus material.

  11. I would highly recommend the recently released Mosaic Select. Not only to you get the Tokyo gig with some previously unreleased material, but you get both volumes of "Live at Slug's". My only exposure to Tolliver prior to this was the McLean Mosaic. I'd kind of forgottem about him until recently, but he is a very underrated player/writer.

    Up over and out.

    SHIT, forgot about the mosaic, thank you very much for reminding me. Now i'll have to sell "Grand Max" and "Live In Tokyo" when they arrive...................

    Looks like Grand Max is not part of the mosaic...........

    It's not. The Mosaic is both volumes of Live at Slugs, the single volume Live in Tokyo, and tons of bonus material, great remastered sound. The Ringer is fabulous. I'm still waiting for CD release of his first as a leader, Charles Tolliver All-Stars, with Gary Bartz,Herbie Hancock, I think Ron Carter and Tony Williams. Anyoen know of any plans for a reissue of that?

  13. The ESP is solid, though Jane Getz isn't the right pianist for the date IMHO.

    The album I really like Jane Getz on is the Mingus one she did with Clifford Jordan, though I know her stay with Mingus was stormy and short-lived. I agree she's not really the right pianist for the Sanders date. That to me is an odd album anyways, can't quite make up it's mind what it wants to be, though I do pull it out and play it once in a while.
