    But it was released.

    Anyhow, I never feel like listening to it either. Have a (Japanese) LP, but have probably not played it for ten years. 

    I don't know why I thought this was one of the albums "from the vault", maybe because it was only released on cd in japan.

    Regarding Tyrone Washington's "Natural Essence" - have you sampled the music before paying big money for the CD? I've owned it twice and dumped it twice. I just don't find it very good.

     

    I came across the cd at amoeba cheap yesterday and decided to buy it based on its praise from members here. I don’t find it that impressive either. The writing is good, woody is great, but I could see why it sat unreleased. Only spun it twice but Tyrone’s solos all sounded the same.

    Also if the price goes down before the release date you get the lower price on Amazon.

    Amazon doesn't charge your card until it ships as well.

    Yeah, I've gotten in the habit of pre-ordering through Amazon. This also seems like a set that may not be on streaming services. 

     

    $35 for 5 discs seems reasonable to me

  12. Essential Solos

    Agreed! Oliver's solo on Stolen Moments is magic.

     

    My favorite solo of all-time is Gary Bartz on Misty from There Goes The Neighborhood. It gets me excited every time I hear it. It isn't a flawless solo by any means but it has so much joy in it. His mastery of time is incredible, plus he burns forever too. Its a ride man. I think its accentuated by the Kennys more sedated solo before it. The way he returns to the theme and flies away, so beautiful.

    Not sure what that means, did they just copy the tape as is onto the CDs? They do give take #s, but not recording order. Impressions is in some kind of backwards order, and I think you can hear it develop if played in recording order. If you want to.

    I like to play that game sometimes, did it with the big Miles/Trane Prestige sessions and a few others. Sessions can have their own organic flow, neither better nor worse necessarily than product order, just different. Different flow, different perception. Same music. Let it roll like a big wheel.

    I didn't say the release was the same as the tape. i made the comment that the tape Naima had was a session tape, thus it was  a recording in the order it was recorded...because it was taken with "tape rolling". The need to document when each song was recorded isn't needed because the tape don't lie. Do they give us the order of each song on the tape is a different issue.

    Listened to the Deluxe Edition this morning. 

    It’s...fine. 

    To appropriate one of the greatest lines I’ve ever read from All Music Guide concerning another artist, “As far as John Coltrane albums go, this is another one”. 

    Thank goodness for streaming, because this is a one and done album for me. 

    I certainly didn't expect much from this one, but I was pleasantly surprised by it. I've give 4 spins between work and the commute yesterday and a final listen when I got home last night. Haven't cracked the second disc yet but much more than a "one and done" for myself. 

    The Sonny Rollins quote seems a bit excessive though haha. 

    I wonder what Andrew White's analysis of this is. Is he considered the foremost authority on Trane's music?

    Lewis Porter writes about Both Directions at once, including a theory that someone other than Coltrane wrote “11386”

    Thanks for the heads up on this. This is the best analysis I’ve heard about why the material wasn’t released. I was hoping he would discuss 11383. though fantastic, it doesn’t sound like the band is familiar with the song and I doubt it would ever have been released on an album.
