Holy Ghost

This on CD? If so, bought.

Wups, was posting on the bare feet feed. meant to post here: Joe Henderson-Power to the People-Milestone/Keepnews Collection. Think Ron did not feel comfortable playing electric bass. Great record though. Now: Sonny Side Up-Verve.

A Legend. Truly, a remarkable man. I'm so glad to have seen Sonny live at Severance Hall here in Cleveland, 2001, and then he extends his generosity/endowment on to Oberlin College; who hosts one of the best conservatories in Ohio, if not beyond; wow. a truly amazing human being.

Eye-balling this forever, how is it?

Earlier: Joe Henderson-Our Thing-BN Now, and my wife is totally digging it: Andrew Hill-Passing Ships-BN

Fair. Maybe it's the messiness that I like, but what a fascinating mess to get to hear genius in transformation. What a treat those RCA's and Impulse!'s are to allow us to look inside; to get a glimpse inside the evolving mind of Sonny Rollins; and I happily accept that invitation.

Wow. Second RCA. My favorite Sonny Rollins Chapter.

You're probably right, but I haven't because I do not subscribe to Spotify, and my computer doesn't have the greatest listening phonics, but I do have a pretty good sound system to play CDs, and I can probably tweak the bass if needed. I am pretty excited about this release, so I don't want to spoil the listening experience; and I've avoided hearing snippets, tracks on YouTube, etc. I have a feeling I will not be returning it, when it's delivered to my house. 🙂

Unique sound, he had. Science Fiction blew me away for many reasons, but the bonus material on the expanded CD edition was really a bonus!

Trane-Live at the Half Note, disc one-Impulse! What a terrific sleeve, never saw it before.

Nice.

And when he does, I'm so glad he did. One of my favorite drummers.

Wow! Track one? That bass line he builds is almost like what you would hear on a Marion Brown ESP album. Don't have the cd in front of me, but Haden is all over Orgasm. But, before then, when I turned into a true Charlie Haden listener, was Ornette's This Is Our Music; it blew me away for one reason: Charlie Haden. I love the sleeve too, where everyone (except Ed Blackwell) looks effing badass serious.

Ornette-This is our Music- Atlantic

Really liked Flowers for Albert, but just lost sight of his music after that, especially the Grateful Dead stuff. Great talent, though.

Ornette on Tenor- Atlantic

Any Hill Blue Note. I start with the out-the-gate four albums released in 1964? (weren't Wolff and Lion just as excited about Hill at the time?) Some dates grow on you, but others take some time, but I'm so glad to have them all. BTW, I like Andrew!!! Summary, at BN alone, wow! That BN allowed him to record so much music, and then we get Passing Ships as a gift? And then some? Priceless.

I'm quoting myself. Right now, I don't really care, I'm buying this set; for God's sake (telling myself) it's effing Joe, McCoy, Grimes, & DeJohnette. Sold.

So glad to have picked up the Sonny Rollins original albums RCA box set, and one of my favs (What's New, is right behind it) from his RCA period. Most interesting period in Sonny's career, in my opinion. We Three. Roy Haynes, Phineas Newborn, Paul Chambers. New Jazz. Earlier, Coleman Hawkins, Desafinado, Impulse!

They made sense.

So, listening to the bass that bad/unlistenable then? One end of the spectrum says yes, other says no??

In the mode for Joe continues. In 'n' Out.

Excited about this record set, that's what I needed to hear, sold!
