Late

I almost started a new thread on this album, but decided to do a search first — glad I did! This really is a great Mobley album, with both Kenny Dorham and Sonny Clark in top form. Sonny Clark's long solo on the opener "Don't Get Too Hip" — quintessential Clark. No one could play mezzo-piano to piano (the dynamic range, that is) and have it swing so hard.

Bueller?

Agreed. I just keep thinking "If only (some of) these gigs were recorded ... " The furthest back I personally can go is seeing Art Blakey in 1985. And then an amazing Betty Carter show in 1988.

What, no Tyrone Washington? The biggest surprise to me is that one near the bottom called "Blue Train."

Anyone here seen the documentary? Looking forward to owning the DVD.

The latter.

Any fans of Jackson's work on Impulse? (How many did he make?) I haven't heard any of those records. Always wondered about the samba album.

Anyone know the work of Finn Savery? I believe he's well-known in Denmark, but perhaps less so here in the States. The name has popped up more than once in my reading lately, and I was thinking about checking out his work. Any leads/recs?

A good one! And what if you'd said "Actually, the music's on request of Mr. Keillor. Lake Wobegon for moderns."

Anyone here collect, or purchase some of, this series? I think it was started in 1997, usually at budget prices. Some are now out-of-print. (Try finding the Lukas Foss!) I'd be interested to hear faves/recommendations. An example of the cover art ...

Haven't heard Crumb's percussion work, but Makrokosmos is amazing. Extends the vocabulary (somewhat) of Cowell's "open piano" compositions.

I think Swinging Swede posted this in another thread.

Thanks for that link Niko. I hadn't heard/read anything about that comp until now. Looks like one to pick up. Anyone heard the Bob Zieff Orchestra in Pennsylvania?

Thanks for posting. Has anyone here heard Dick Wetmore's Bethlehem album (mentioned in the Chambers piece) that contains Zieff compositions? I'm guessing it hasn't been reissued on compact disc, but maybe in Japan? Would love to hear it.

Anyone have the Japanese edition? It's still floating around from online vendors. I'd upgrade if the sonics were considerably better than the French version.

With some trepidation, I'm bumping this thread up. I will confess I don't "get" Mahler yet. This doesn't mean I haven't liked what I've heard, it's just that his music hasn't clicked in that ahhhh! way yet. But I'm not giving up. If you had to recommend a single disc of any of his symphonies for a newbie, what would you choose? Any words on how/where to gain access to this composer's world would be interesting too.

Well, I ended up purchasing the Bruno Walter Brahms symphony cycle. At $17 for three discs, I couldn't resist. Now I'll be able to do some A/B-ing with the Bernstein. I have a feeling it won't be the last Brahms cycle I purchase. Something about those particular symphonies is really under my skin these days. Maybe I'll even try the Toscanini at some point ...

Another PM! (May have sent it twice on accident.)

Probably — I think it might have been created before the classical forum was around. Either way, keep the recs coming!

Any particular reason? I ask because, while I haven't heard it, I've read some good things about that recording. I only have Bernstein doing Brahms' symphonies. I like them, but have nothing to compare them to.

Would like to hear more thoughts on the symphonies. Klemperer and Alsop (whose early conducting career included working in this small city for a couple of years!) have been mentioned. Any thoughts on: • Solti • Böhm • Karajan • Bernstein (did it 3 X, I think) • Abbado • contemporary readings? • others I'm missing I'm still out of my league as far as symphonies are concerned, and when I read reviews on Brahms' symphonies, they often are along the lines of: "If you have the Klemp, look no further." I've never heard his versions, but would like too. Amazon has them at full price ($35) — anyone know where they could be found cheaper?

Listening to Sketch right now. I like it quite a bit. Schnitter sounds like late-period Hank Mobley trying to play like early-period Ornette Coleman — after listening to Masada (while drinking root beer). And I don't mean those reference points as a put-down. James Zollar, the trumpet player, is pretty good too. The Cherry influence is there, but not too heavy. Overall, a . Well-recorded as well.

The Ivan Lendl of labels!

BIS is a great label. So is Mode. Between the Lines, in the early days, was spectacular. Thank God Koglmann got out most of the Dixon/Lacy sides when he did. (The Coe/Kellaway too.) I admire that Uehlinger's recording emerging artists, even if the fan base for Hat seems to generally want reissues (only). It seems to me that if, as clem stated/alluded to, he could put together some type of limited box sets for just a few Hat artists that sell well, it would satisfy fans and perhaps generate more income for newer projects. But, I'm no record producer, and I'm sure it's all easier said than done.
