Talk about Joe Henderson in the Sept. 2nd RVG thread got me thinking (which is often a dangerous thing!! ). Are there any dates where Joe had an off day in the studio, from among the dozens and dozens of dates he's on in the 60's??? (Let's keep the cut-off as Dec. 31st 1969 (so I mean everything he recorded before 1970), cuz I know some people have some issues with some of his later Milestone material, although many don't (including me!!).) I'm not sure I own every date he ever recorded in the 60's, but I think I have damn near every one. For example, as much as we all love Lee Morgan, we all know even he had a couple dates here and there, where Lee was certainly good, but maybe not quite as great as he usually was. But then, to my mind, Joe almost never falls below a 4-star performance on anything he recorded between 1963-1969. (5-stars being the top of the scale.)

An excellent interview too, I might add. I had seen this before, and was glad you reminded me of it. Lot's of good food-for-thought.

Far as I know, his first time on record was on Kenny Dorham's "Una Mas" (April 1st, 1963), followed shortly by Grant Green's "Am I Blue" (May 16th, 1963), and Joe's own "Page One" (June 3rd, 1963). Anybody know of any Joe on record any earlier than "Una Mas"??? I don't think there is any.

I'm an INTP too!!!

Steve Reich: "Different Trains / Electric Counterpoint" (Elektra/Nonesuch, 1989)

Got mine used several years ago, for about $45 as I recall, maybe even closer to $40. I was in an otherwise crappy used-CD store in Davenport Iowa, and there it was.

Night all!!! And sleep well everybody.... ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz............ -_-

"Free For All", you need an Avatar my friend. Get on it!!!

100% agreement. All of Joe's leader dates for BN are stunning.

"Inner Urge" is a close second for me, just behind "Mode For Joe". Simply stunning, in all respects. The three Henderson tunes are amazing, and everyone is playing right at the top of their game. Put it this way, I think "Inner Urge" is every bit as good as any and all of Wayne Shorter's "sax plus piano trio" recordings on BN in the 60's, and it don't get any better than that!!

Hey, when it's something this important, I'm here and on the case!!! SS, let's put it this way: You skip this one on Tuesday, and you're banned from the board. Simple as that!!

How to put this delicately... OMFG!!!!!!! "Mode for Joe" is THE Joe Henderson album to get, of all time. You need to start camping out right now, right outside on the steps of your favorite shiny-disc emporium, so you can be the very first one in line to get "Mode For Joe" when the store first opens, when it comes out on Tuesday. It is TOTALLY "the shit", in the very best sense of the word. Do not hesitate, not even for half a nanosecond, to pick this one up. In my book, "Mode For Joe" is probably one of the 10 best Blue Note albums ever released. B) :rsmile:

Well, I guess I haven't listened closely enough to hear any between-songs stage-talk. I've only had the disc since Monday, and I think I've listened to it twice.

I've heard a few complaints about the sound-quality on the new Moran, but frankly, I haven't noticed all that much. But then again, I have some pretty low-end stereo equipment (a cheap boombox, and a nice but relatively inexpensive bookshelf system). Maybe on a real high-end system the SQ might be more of an issue.

There's always this on at half.com for only $132.32 - LINK.

Anybody know of any Andrew Hill books in the works?? I know, probably too obscure to merit a whole book. But still, I think it'd be an interesting read, especially if Andrew contributed to fill in all those years he was doing things like teaching, playing in prisons, and even being a church musican. Not a 1,000 page tome, mind you - but something as least as meaty as some of the Da Capo books I have, like the ones on Dolphy and Dexter Gordon, for instance.

I was just lookin' for these two forums (below), and BAM! -- there it was -- a redskin Political forum page, stairin' me right in the face!!!! Cool idea, by the way - having the political forums have their own "red" skin. Would really help people remember that that part of the board can really be it's very own animal.

OK, found it at half.com, you gotta search for "Miles Davis Complete". Cheapest one (and it happens to be still sealed) is $84 plus $2.50 S&H for a total of $86.50. So, the question is this... Is "disc 1" worth between $28 and $36 to you???? (Cuz that's the difference between $50 and "the going market rate".) Or does anybody else know of any cheaper??? Or better yet, any stray 'disc 1' PN CD's needing good homes!!

Judging from the closed auctions on eBay, the cheapest one that sold on eBay recently went for $74 plus $4 S&H, for a total of $78. Oddly enough, there are none at half.com right now, which I can't believe (but maybe I'm not doing the search right, or it's listed funny). So, then, the question is weather you can find a "disc 1" of the PN set for anything like $10 or so, which seems like a fairly decent possibility. There's a "disc 7" on eBay right now, so these things do turn up for time to time. For $50, I'd sure think about getting it. Maybe make them an offer of $40, and see if the meet you in the middle at $45?? Just a another idea. Also, I'm sure somebody here could burn you a copy of the first disc - so it's not like you'd be without the music. Also, if you do buy it - put out the word here that you're lookin' for a 'disc 1' of the PN set, so we can grab one for you if we see it floating around sometime. Hell, anybody here know of any loose PN discs currently for sale anywhere???

Anybody heard any of the promos of this that are already on the street?? I've seen 'em on eBay, but wanna wait for the real deal. Still, I'd be curious to hear some early impressions of the unreleased material.

Sound great!!! What time's dinner?? I can be over to your place in about 5 minutes.

he-he-larious!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LINK that works Damn, that's a ton of $cratch for an old LP!!!!
