Holy Ghost

Yep. Tremendous set for all the right reasons. Like Jack very much here too

👍 + 3!!!

You described exactly the show I saw last night. I went and got a beer during the "state of America, AI/Siri/robots" talk (apparently, I was the only one anticipating there would be no intermission, as I was the only one in line) and still had time to come back and listen to the rest of it. At times, he was actually pretty funny, for example, a couple came in a little a late, and while being shown their seats, Herbie said to them, "those seats are waiting for you" Another time, after the "overture" and I think Footprints/Actual Proof, etc., some folks were leaving their seats (maybe to go to the bathroom/get a beverage) and Herbie said, "Oh, you had enough?" Hysterical stuff. His energy was incredible, playing Rocket at the end of the concert, with the keytar, he was jamming and bouncing around with the bassist. Blanchard was in top form, and Jaylen played great, great show overall! Very glad to have seem him!

Big yes!

I'm sorry Peter, My fault. I did not express specifically what I meant by "roller-rink" organists. On Quebec's 45 sessions, it does have that hoaky "roller-rink" organ sound, but by no means, did I mean to include, group, catergorize or generalize other organists within that genre, such as Larry Young, Lonnie Smith, or John Patton, who don't sound roller-rink hoaky whatsoever! Just Edwin Swanston, Sir Charles Thompson, and Earl Van Dyke do! Hope that clarifies my postion more. HG Wow, something hooky-dinky going on here, thought I already posted this post. Anyway, I also believe Freddie Roach's sound is a little rolly-rinky as I juxtapose Freddie's sound to Larry Young's. Wow, what a contrast!

Reid Miles' crazy genius imagination. How did he stretch "The Rumproller" sleeve like that back in 1965 with no modern technology?

👍 Now playing:

Yes! Track five, Bossa De Luxe. 👍 Wow. Just added to my buy list. Agree! 👍

Sad, sad news, RIP.

Wow! That is cool, and sounding that good in the mid-eighties. Huge Horace nut as well. Thanks for the review, I knew I was going to buy it, but it's reassuring to hear that it's really good! Repackaged as Early Circle? If so, great stuff 👍 My favorite Russell!

Wow, great stuff, just listening to Caddy for Daddy.

Thoughts! Terrific play list! Thoughts on the Alice Coltrane! I need to listen to this. Whatever happened, I hope you and your family are okay... Album jacket always made me uncomfortable, but my opinion, their best record

Being Catholic too, I totally relate! "Catholic churches were dark & somber in general, so it makes sense that I'd think that about the organ playing." My parents being devout Catholics allowed me after my confirmation to attend church by myself (lols) because I didn't, but the the funny thing is when I actually did go, and they started that tithing BS mid-mass, with somebody playing that hoaky organ music (hoaky church, not hoaky rolling rink) they would hold that basket on that 20 foot-long arm (I swear that pole was as long as a football field!) rattling that basket in front of me for what seem like hours, I was like, can I help you? I'm like, this is my 7-11 money!

Exactly what I need to do: I need to live with this set. Earlier in my listening life, I would've chucked this, but as I get older, I live with it, because as JSngry said, Ike is a baaadaaass man, and he is! So I'm hoping this set grows on me over more listens. PS I really like everything else, and I really love Ike's tone, I just have to get past that hoaky-ass sounding organ!

Nice overview of hoaky soundy organs. Yep. Still sounds rolller rinky hoaky to me.

Listining now, if it was just the Ike Quebec trio, minus the hoaky roller rink organ, highly recommended.
