Love the cover, and the music too, although the cover reveals its charms significantly more immediately. But post-Apple MJQ has more differences from pre-Apple MJQ than might be apparent from a non-invested listening. If nothing else, the new recording technology allowed Percy ?Heath to prominate in the mix, and that sorta changes everything if you want it to.

I've found the other material from this session to be more stimulating, sometimes very much so. I'd love to have insight into what drove the original selection process. But yeah, Desmond.

It's "Way Back Home", maybe repurposed with lyrics and maybe a new title, no idea. But that's the Patty Hearst song in my mind, always and forever. http://www.latimes.com/local/obituaries/la-me-joe-sample-20140915-story.html http://jerryjazzmusician.com/2014/09/joe-sample-sla-budding-writers-career-path/

Found this at a library sale today, two bucks. Never knew about it, so hell yeah, two bucks. Seems like a pretty local record, did it get any real distribution? Has it ever been reissued?

That’s the apathy hurst song, so all that comes with that. i like that gee baby, but didn’t have time to dig for it. Good record though , chart sounds kinda like Bedford Kendrick’s or whatever his name was.

Just sayin’, you got a five buck record of Jimmy Forrest and Shirley Scott in a trio, recorded live, and the first (only?) thing that keeps the record on the shelf was the recording date, no, that is not a good decision in any way. That’s simply not knowing enough about anything other than using a callender for a record player.

yeah, but streaming does not equate to purchasing a download, just as "sales" has never equated to "listens". Gotta figure that for every purchase, there's X more listens. I'm delighted that this release has had the success that it has, I'm just wondering what is actually driving the specifics of the numbers that are being reported. Maybe it's simply a matter of everybody who has purchased a Coltrane catalog item over the decades (and who's still alive) bought this one all at once. If that's the case, that makes sense, but it also means that the record should go OOP in a few years or so because it exhausted its deep catalog potential all at once, if that makes sense. Or maybe people are hungry for something that they're not finding elsewhere. That's kind of an emo take on it though, and really, if they needed "it" that badly, they'd be making/finding it on their own. Anyway...

I'm wondering if the Billboard charts track download sales, and if so, to what extent. Seriously, I do not know. Also, not sure if digital advertising mirrors paper advertising, or if those are different accounts?

I prefer Frank Motley at two, but hell, show bizness and all that.

yep

It's straight-ahead organ trio jazz made in the 1970s. I think it's better than his Prestige sides because he had advanced as a player and wasn't bashful about it. It's an excellent record. If it's still there, run back and get it before somebody else does. Some friendly advice - dates are chronological markers, not stylistic imperatives. Don't get trapped by conflating recording dates with musical expectations, there's plenty of bullshit to be had in all decades and with all production trappings or lack thereof.

I like how he seems to turn up in unlikely places and/or in unlikely settings.

regarding the chart position of this thing, are current "sales" still measured strictly by physical product? Wondering if maybe since young people allegedly don't buy physical product these days and since a lot of older people insist on it, maybe that's what's driving chart position? Older people getting physical product that strikes a chord and triggers purchase? Maybe, just a thought?

#9 is Patty Hearst.

Here are some possibilities. Details fit with DOBs-show being filmed in 1958 + then Califronia residence. Jimmy Fields: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Henry_Fields Mark Evans: https://calisphere.org/item/1c0ad1705897553177b9d521d59c0e7d/ Mark Siemens(?) can't find anything. This line from Jane Getz' Wikipedia biography takes on an additional resonance after seeing this clip: Jane Getz (born 12 September 1942) is an American jazz pianist and session musician. Getz learned classical piano as a child and began playing jazz at the age of nine.She lived in California early in life but when she was sixteen moved to New York City. There she immediately found work playing with Pony Poindexter So they say she's 13, but if this is 1958, either she was really 15-16, or else this is a different Jane Getz.

Apparently this was a pilot for a show that was never picked up. Jane Getz!

Dude, Forrest for a fin is a no-brainer. Trust me on this one.

Well, yeah, ok, but Cole's actual playing has been my first stumbling block on the path toward appreciating the music...

Interesting pop-culture awareness snapshot there.
