Not to group Pepper, Getz, nor Baker, nor the West Coast wash all together, but you get a rare view inside "the life" and how you spend your down time....
To add, Miles and Trane had the same problem on the East Coast...
Love the picture. After BN viz WB it was Joe on Fat Albert, then Bennie Maupin afterwards, right? Maybe a rare live date? When did Joe adopt a Swahili name?
Somwhere above this comes up, sorry for mashing numorous posts into one sloppy post.
Solo Monk is part of this set; the other cuts are solo piano from all of his other Columbia albums.
There was a single sample disk, similar to Miles' Plugged Nickel:
Great stuff! Wish RCA, like the Sonny Rollins RCA original albums box set, would treat Paul Desmond's albums the same way. I'd buy that set in a second. I have three of them and would scoop up the others in a nice deluxe original albums box set in a heartbeat.
Funny enough, I think King Japan jacked their own image of Bobby from Inner Glow and used another still from the same photo shoot for the sleeve of Obligue:
Weren't these recordings like 8 years apart? Man, Bobby looked good.
Been meaning to revisit (I am in the M's). One of my favorite Mobleys. Sonny Greenwich is the surprise, he's edgy and brings a different sound to the table.
Good stuff.
Superior West Coast. Found this one in a cut out bin!
I didn't even know he passed, much belated RIP. Everytime I saw his name on a record, I bought it, dude had an amazing groove. Thank you for being part of the great music you have left us.
I get what you mean. Eddie Gladden has that sound on Larry Young's Mothership. It's deep.
