Yeah, this is good stuff, lots of energy, almost (mostly) like an acoustic "fusion" session, although Ron Carter would have been better off being Stanley Clarke (on wood, of course). But even at that, this is some damn good stuff, and at $3.98, hey.
Far more serious is Rollins' rip-off of "In a Chapel in the Moonlight" from Kitty Kallen and "You" from Art Linkletter (both on "Sonny Rollins and the Contemporary Leaders"). The man simply had no decency.
Indeed!
Look at how he stole Al Jolson & "Toot Toot Tootsie" - final proof (as if any more is needed), that everything we think we know about the origins & meaning of "jazz" is wrong, and that the history of the music needs to be rewritten to reflect THE TRUTH!!!
Maybe there has been one but I can't recall seeing a legit reissue of this.
Legit enough for amazon, but... http://www.amazon.com/At-Wilshire-Ebell-Historic-Angeles/dp/B000K97RIO
WTF is a Thompsonism?
And are you the Pete that's a bass player from Lititz, PA? If so, we've done business before, to good ends. So yeah, welcome back!
No..that's Pete B. Never mind.
Alright, then, WTF is a Thompsonism?
And welcome back!
But that would still mean there are but a few dozen left... do these sets sell so slowly that this is no reason yet to put them on the "running low" list? That's sad!
Well, you figure that if they've sold 7000+ over the last 10 years, that ain't so bad, really. Probably more than any of the individual LPs sold, ever.
There's only so many Hank Mobley fanatics in the world...
