The original was a 2-LP set. The Vocailon release adds nothing new.

Inspired.

and see, that's the way this session should have been housed forever more. but no, people got all retro-OJC-crazy and of course, they were happy to sell you a couple of items when one would do. if it really is "historic" treat it as such instead of fetishizing the objects that brought it along. I could have done without the re-chanelling/remastering etc, but when I bought this, my hi-fi record player had a mono switch and it was all good. Point just being, put this on a record...ALL of it. and then leave it ALL there.

The trees were the way to go. But if you got them, you're obligated to get the legit release. That was the code then, that's the code now.

Yeah, Goodman was an asshole, Woods was,uh, "prickly", they're both dead now, so who cares? Most everybody on that tour was pissed off except Goodman who was in his own world like he always was. There are splices along the way, oh well, it's a great band and it's a great record. Best version ever imo, right here. Pissed off Phil Woods be damned, the motherfucker could lead a section regardless of his mood. Check out the section behind Benny's solo, hell check out the band, riffing just right while Mel/Crow/Van Lake (and I'll be damned if I know more than the bare basics about Turk Van Lake) give them something to work wioth. Check out John Bunch's perfect transitional chord to lead into Benny's second chorus.. Jimmy Maxwell was on that tour. Jimmy Maxwell plays the solo here. Jimmy Maxwell played a lot of music in his life. Check out the band behind Jimmy Maxwell's solo, while Benny in mindlessly doodling away. That shit is right! I'd buy this record just to hear Phil Woods lead that section, but you get plentiful good Zoot Sims, Joe Newman, a.o. as well as a band that knew how to play as a band. You cannot get a big band to play like this today, it's just not possible, people don't have that rhythm in them any more. They have other rhythms, but not that one, not that loosetightness/tightlooseness/however you want to feel it, people didn't feel like that from going to schools, they learned it by playing all kinds of gigs all over the place, dance bands, jam sessions, looking at people, ignoring people, talking to people who knew, talking around people who didn't know but had the check, this is their life rhythm, this generation of people who were in this band. Zoot, dancing.

Meet the band!

I've been advocating for this one for decades now, the rec still stands.

How old would I be when this happened? How old and how senile? Because if time is short and I can remember most of it already, I'm not feeling a real rush, and might well benefit from the silence.

The Shooting, check it out,

whoa, that hurts. RIP to one of the true masters.

This right here is all the gem that gemmed could gem. My memory might be failing, but isn't the Ornette thing from Coltrane's funeral?

A book of these would be nice?

Let's see how this goes.

Yeah, stick around, get better!

3 Shades Of Blue, at last. plus: and...i'd not pay for it, but if you know somebody who would, the Tom Scott item is better than even the most optimistic realist could be expected to hope. Just a quartet with Roger Kellaway, Chuck Domanico, and John Guerin, no "crossover" except in the source material, and yeah, it's still Tom Scott, and that's why I'd not pay for it, but still and all, it's a curiosity that won't kill the cat. Just sayin'.
