Late

That is some fine Wilder trumpet! I'd never heard this song; nor had I heard of Talbert. Thanks for posting. Arguably.

Thanks for sharing that video, soulpope. My 14 year-old watched it with me! (Her friend plays bass.)

I will have to check that out. Thanks for the heads-up! I don't know Muldrow's later work very well, but that first album—damn! The disjointedness fused with groove ... Nina would've approved.

This album has my favorite version of "In Walked Bud." It was my second Messengers album*, and I've always had a soft spot for it. Johnny Griffin is firing on all cylinders. The version I currently have is the Japanese Atlantic 60th Anniversary edition. Sound is very, very good. It says "stereo" on the mini-LP, but the speakers tell me ... MONO. Monk isn't pushed away from the band. Bill Hardman gets sassy! * First was on Blue Note: At The Cafe Bohemia.

Sixteen years later, and this album is still knocking me out. I haven't caught up with Ms. Muldrow.

1981, Tokyo Bill Evans and Mike Stern I get. Marcus Miller not as much.

I often come back to the Tanglewood performance.

3/4, for Piano & Orchestra. What a beautiful composition. I can't believe that WATT album hasn't seen a digital release. (If it has, I missed it.) I listened to the entirety of Naked Hamlet yesterday. Essential Bley listening. It cries out for an official release. If you're interested in Bley's writing, you need to hear this.

Finally read this in its entirety. Fascinating indeed—thanks for sharing that.

"Mr. Hardman & His Giant Talking Friend"—that was their side gig. Jackie played along with it to keep Bill smiling. The whole thing freaked the rhythm section out however.

Ha! I did indeed. I wish Miles (or Teo) had focused on the "Circle In The Round" work just a little more and edited it into a 33 1/3 record back in the day. Regardless, a great tune. Herbie plays celeste (if I'm not mistaken), and I often confuse it for vibes at first ("Hey, Miles got Bobby Hutcherson on the session. What a great idea!") I profess to not reading up on Joe Beck.

I like the Prestige work, but my favorite Mal is almost all on Enja.

I'm contemplating a Miles Davis 1968-1975 close-listening marathon. All the official studio and live albums plus the "complete" box sets (In A Silent Way, Bitches Brew, Jack Johnson, On The Corner) PLUS the sanctioned bootleg series sets (minus Newport and "Freedom Jazz Dance"). I would like to add the real bootlegs, but that might be too much, plus I don't have that many. It's going to take some time. I started yesterday with Miles In The Sky. What a brilliant record. I wonder how George Benson felt to be playing on (part of) it. The opener ("Stuff," minus Benson) is fantastic, despite Miles and Wayne not always playing the melody together. For some reason I've always played this album more than the next, Filles de Kilimanjaro, which is a heavy record. Gonna spend some time with that one. But first, the stuff with Jeff Beck ... Oh, didn't mean to leave out the Cellar Door set—that's how this post fits into this thread!

I need to spin this one next. I always skip over it for some reason.

Is it possible to move this thread to the "Artists" forum? Thanks, mods!

When I think of Turrentine, I tend to think "Blue Note" first, often overlooking one of my favorite recordings of his: A hip record.

I don't think that's sweat glistening on Albert's face. It's Vaseline. He'd started that practice around 1969-70.
