  1. Was this cover for "City of Glass" ever issued on LP? - i.e. a 12-inch release? Given that both 'city' and 'glass' are mentioned in the title, this could be a contender. (Have always loved this cover, though I only have it on CD.)
  2. Definitely. Of those I've posted here to this thread, I agree, Into Somethin' and Goin' Up (which I presume is what you meant by "Up Up Up") -- are the two best. And I agree that cityscapes, much as I love them, are going to be of less interest.
  3. And here's the previous thread I started, some 7 going on 8 years ago!
  4. Maybe (just maybe) some modernist sculpture? Andrew Hill - Smokestack... PS: It's tempting to also include Hill's Judgment, but the brick-wall background isn't quite "sculptural" or "modern" enough for what I'm looking for, tempting though it may be!
  5. These might also qualify -- gonna be tough to narrow down my choices to just 4! Joe Henderson - Page One Herbie Hancock - Inventions and Dimensions...
  6. I know I started another "Album Covers with Buildings" thread several years ago (I'll have to look for it too), but I'm looking to frame about four (4) LP covers for my office where I work (at a prominent architecture museum in Washington DC), and am looking for some iconic covers to include. Could be all Blue Note, but wouldn't necessarily have to be all BN. The very first one that comes to mind is, or course, Larry Young's Into Somethin' -- and is perhaps THE model of what I'm looking for other examples of... I'm temped to maybe also include stuff with architectural details, like Bobby Hutcherson's Compenents too... Ideally whatever I pick, I'd rather the architecture to really be front and center, and the main concept of the cover, rather than a picture that happens to include buildings (of which there were a lot of in the other thread). Many thanks!! -- Rooster Also tempting, Eric Dolphy's Out to Lunch... And also Freddie Hubbard - Goin' Up...
  7. Cue a few of the Andy Warhol line-drawing covers?
  8. Anybody know if they had a falling out?
  9. Greg Osby & Jason Moran. IMHO, nothing Obsy's done since Moran left his group around 2001 has quite rivaled what they recorded before (together). And Moran's own leader output was never better than during the time he was with Osby. I hope they record together again someday.

    Had no idea there was any original EOTH-related footage out there! Damn!
  11. Wow, very impressive! Managed to somehow watch/stream the entire thing twice -- I guess I had the whole thing buffered, and managed to skip back to the beginning of the Roney part a second time (and watch the whole thing again), before I lost the connection. I sure hope this material gets recorded properly and released officially, although I must say the sound quality of this live recording from Detroit was pretty fantastic (even better than I could have expeceted). I would have to think it was recorded multitrack, and then they adjusted the levels after the fact. If not, major kudos to whomever was doing sound/engineering the recording in realtime. Recognized several themes and a couple vamps -- though nothing I could immediately ID by name.
  12. Looks like you can skip ahead in the video. The Wallace Roney part starts about 45:50 into the 75-minute stream.
  13. Video is tonight, in about 4.5 hours or so. Hoping to catch some of this, if I get home in time from another evening event.
  14. Bumping, cuz this is tonight (in less than 4 hours, presuming the 8pm start is Eastern). Not sure if I'll be home in time, but there are some recent Youtube clips online (2014, just search on "Karen Mantler"). Trio seems to be piano, guitar, bass -- though one clip had bass clarinet (plus bass, iirc). Nice stuff, from what I heard. TOTALLY what I was expecting, in a good way -- though I'm sure opinions about her vary wildly. I'd pay to catch her in concert in a heartbeat - fun stuff, for those open to such things.
  15. Wow, didn't realize Karen was active. Does she primarily play organ? Chromatic harmonica? Both? Other? What's she about these days? And btw, does she ever play any of her mom's material, by any chance? Thanks!
  16. Hoping to catch the video, or at least stream the audio after the fact. (Alas, Sunday's broadcast time didn't quite fit into what all was going on that day.)
  17. Always temped by the Thad Jones BN/UA/R set.
  18. Is the remake a quarter-tone sharp?
  19. Isn't this also the only Herbie BN leader-date that never came out as an RVG (meaning in a domestic, US issue).
  20. I've really liked everything Moran's done up through about 2005, but I've been less drawn to his output since "Same Mother". Agree that *everything* Greg Osby did that included Moran in his band was better than anything Osby did prior (pre-Moran), or since (post-Moran). Likewise, every Moran leader-date during his time with Osby (1997-2002) and shortly after, is really his strongest work (at least to my way of thinking). They really were spectacular together, and I really wish they would record together again. But, the notion that Moran is trying to somehow 'ride on the coattails' of these other avant-garde guys seems pretty absurd to me -- like that's any sort or fast-track to fame, fortune, or credibility. Moran seems like anything other than someone trying to take any easy ways out -- and that he's followed the path he has, playing the music he has, and found the success he has -- would all seem to be to his credit. Would that Andrew Hill had had more chutzpah and ability to sell himself, in the sort of way Moran has.
  21. I'm pretty sure I have an original LP of the Schoenberg Chamber Symphony, op. 9 - from my uncle's collection.
  22. Is there an especially good KW discography online? One that perhaps includes sideman appearances as well?
  23. That is a tremendous album - and I didn't realize until now that it was his last. 5-stars.
