The Moonglows did some great work. They were a cut above. And Harvey Fuqua was a survivor (until now, anyway...). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNtlYY97uJo The ultimate doo-wop record here? There's a Moonglows a capella record from a few years bavk that is rare, expensive, and worth every penny, just to hear those voices in that blend at those tempos. Rare beauty, it is. Do long, Harvey, & tell Marvin we still miss him.

They all existed! 10" LP, 12" LP, & EP. http://bebopwinorip.blogspot.com/2010/07/lester-young-and-his-tenor-sax-volume-1.html .

Imperiallll.....iiiittttt'sssQUICKKKKK Disollllvvving.....

Maybe to place Ra's introduction of older big band pieces into his repertoire into a broader context, along this same time he started getting pretty vocal about what he saw as the "breakdown" of African-American culture due to to a lack of personal discipline. He saw an explicit link between the discipline and subjugation of self needed to successfully play in a section & that needed to be a productive member of society. To him, like so many others, freedom was a reward of sustained discipline, not something to seek in place of it.

Pretty bitchin' rainbow, to be sure, but on the whole, I'll take

Most locals have reciprocity agreements...sounds fishy to me...

Not any real re-imagining going on here on this one. Those charts are pretty much played straight-up/ahead/etc. No bassist is a "slant", I suppose, but the arrangements of the Henderson tunes themselves...pretty much verbatim, really. Not really sure where the idea that this album is a "Henderson tribute" comes in anyway...here's the tracklist: Light From A Hidden SunPin-Points of Spiral PrismsSilhouettes Of The Shadow WorldCocktails For Two'Round MidnightLady Bird / Half NelsonBig John's SpecialYeah Man!Disguised Gods in Skullduggery Rendez-VousQueer NotionsLimehouse BluesKing Porter StompTake The A TrainLightnin'A Helio-Hello! And Goodbye Too! It's either later-mid Ra or early-late Ra, depending on how you look at it. Plenty "better" had preceded it, Some "worse" would follow. But it was, then, the first-released on-record documentation of Ra's recent "retro" additions to the repertoire & as a such made a bit of a "critical stir" at the time. Today, several years and multitudinous recordings late5r, one might well wonder waht the fuss was about, but hey, c'est la vie.

Look for Moms Mobley.
