Truthfully, I think Gil, not Bill, was the best Evans for Miles over the long haul.

Like that.

I like it when he rocks it like it's 1971!

The only thing I can think of is that maybe Bill's career was starting to take off at that point, and as a result, he had less time available for "sideman" duties. Evans was a regular member of the working sextet, remember. All involved, including Evans, felt that the more aggressive, uptempo approach of the live band was not his true "comfort zone", although he was certainly adept doing that.

Both men felt that although there was enough musical common ground for a fruitful temporary relationship, there was ultimately a bigger gap in their conceptions than there was a similarity. That, plus the fact that Bill wouldn't blow the band.

Hmmm...I see a blue oval with a narrower rectangle above it and to the right....what could that possibly represent??????

Gary Dial Adele Jergens The Dovells

Plus, if it's packaged in chronological order, that first album gives a good taste of the Wheeler/Holland/Altschul band in full throttle....if you need to "ease into" Braxton World from a more "inside" leaning, that's a good band to do it with. Just remember, though - this ain't never, ever gonna be "bebop". But it will swing and it will tell the truth.

Play 'em in order. Why not?

Count me in

Doesn't seem to be an error, that price is still listed.

Thanks, but...I kow how to get in touch with her, as well as her "career sketch". What I don't know is if she did any "work of note" over the course of her career. No hits w/Goodman?

Somebody told me she's living in the area & "loves to reminisce"... all I know for sure is the name. Any work of note (other than being married to Harry James?)? Anybody?

That is a Hollies song, and a good one.

That would be true of the 45 version, but by the time the album version was done, the attitude ahd begun to shift.

Hmmm....I'm not so sure about that...not about other things covering other parts of the '60s really well/better, but..."escapism" is not quite it, I don't think...more like a cosmic propulsion away from an impending cynicism that would ultimately triumph by the decade's end. Call it the Last Gasp Of Innocence or something, but if All You Need Is Love is ultimately a pipe dream (and it is), it's also an ideal to be negotiated with along the way, not a notion to be discarded as a laughable fantasy. If you want to know the '60s, there's a lot of things to check out. But if you do it w/o getting a grip on The Beatles, your understading will be as incomplete as it would be if that's all you looked at.

This is a fine date, recommeded w/o reservation.

So Sing Me A Song Of Songmy doesn't get much airplay in the Stereojack household then, eh?

About those high voices....I swear that I'm now hearing more than faint echoes of traditional "mountain" harmony in there...attributed to the influence Everley Brothers as I understand, but they got it from the American appaliachians, who in turn brought it over from Scotland/Ireland/etc, so wouldn't that end up being a British Invasion in reverse? No matter...there's some damn tricky harmonizing going on in some ofthose '60s sides. Very musical, very specific, and very uncliched.
