That and Woody Shaw...but once the label was sold it wasn't going to happen. But Tyrone Washington got his, and that's fine in and of itself, but some things just don't make sense.

Yeah, but there's good derivative and not so good derivative, so I'd be interested in knowing what Sonny had to say after that.

https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5c8p24 Blue Note in 1970, Richard Davis on electric on an organ date, shit's done got weird.

JSngry, thanks for the prompt reply, think I'll got for this then: I've had my eye on it for awhile and it's got KD.

"Your Mama"!

I'm most familiar with their work for BN. but aware enuff to know that they worked together a fair bit post-BN, can you recommend something from the later period? An I like 'infrastructure creation;, great description. Who's you favorite bassist with those two?

Groove, intensely blue, and Sonny Clark again. They issued this one at the time and it must've done ok 'cause he got two more.

More Blue Note goodness, again not issued initially but considered IIRC, again with Stanley and Sonny Clark.

Groove, intensity, and Sonny Clark!

'Arctic Riff', is this part of a new Truth in advertising campaign from ECM?

Very impressive that you got Tate & Marcus to write intros; should help you reach a bigger audience, maybe even some institutions like Universities and public libraries. I need to check my finances but I hope to be a buyer myself.

IMHO, apex Hank is everything he did with Billy Higgins, so basically Turnaround through Reach Out, '65-68. To me they were as perfectly matched as Elvin & 'Trane.

I have my library's copy sitting in my basement, indefinitely since we're not taking returns during the current crisis. Probably won't buy since it has all of three alternates I don't have already and none of them struck me as better or even all that different (unlike HH's Blind Man where I prefer the alternate). I'm partial to this era: I love boogaloos, the instrumentation is more varied, and both the writing and the playing just got better, IMHO. But all Hank, front to back, leader and sideman is worth hearing. Slice of the Top is a uniquely beautiful thing, further proof that 1966 is the apex/zenith/___ of human civilization. The last Studebaker was built on 3/17/66, Slice of the Top was done 3/18 and my wife was born the next week. And we moved to SK later that year.

I too followed the Grand Prix circus when I was young. I had no idea Sterling Moss was still alive. One of the greats to be sure.

He put people together on that show that no one else would've even thought of, and it almost always worked.

If anything, I like the new one better.

Yes, but that's a little earlier (the not issued at the time Rainbow series albums with Jackie), I was thinking of '69 specifically and Larry Young's Mothership in particular.

Thanks, kinda what I suspected but good to hear from someone on the scene.

It's good and funny, but not as good or as funny as I remember. Still anything that takes Zep and their fans down a notch is fine with me.

I agree that Elvin Jones date with Lee is very fine, but it's not really a quartet since there are two percussionists on it, Or don't they count in your book? It's interesting to me that Elvin would add Candido, etc. to his dates in this period - it's not like he 'needed' them, but he must have enjoyed their company. Lee did a bunch of interesting sideman dates in this era, many not issued at the time.

The Sound of Wide Open Spaces is a nice album, but do locals in Dallas still play in that distinctive Texas Tenor style or have they become just like everyone else?

RIP

Just realized I missed the show on PBS, darn.
