West Side Highway, that's what it was. http://www.discogs.com/Stanley-Turrentine-...release/1411952 T blows just dandily on this one. The settings are not great, but far from awful. Not "recommended" necessarily, but definitely "suggested" for those so inclined, or who think they might be.

I gotta wonder when it became "unusual" for a "jazz musician" to be on a blues record, and to/for whom it is "unusual"...

Not really...more like Salt Song ran through a very efficient grit remover...mostly. Lots of "production", "sweetening", etc. But there's a few things that aren't too bad, one of 'ems a date w/Ogermann, iirc, something like East Side Highway or something. I can look when I get home. But overall...only for completists, the highly curious, and those who like that type of thing.

Quite unexpectedly, this song has been running through my head all day, and....it's a good thing.

Yeah, that's all I'm saying - it was better. And truthfully, my system - and my ears- back then wasn't good enough to really notice all the EQ gaming. But what was really cool/fun sometimes was hitting the mono switch on a regular stereo album. I miss the mono switch.

Believe it or not, I got my copy just last sunday at a Kroger (sic)!

I would imagine that many/most herehaven't dug too much (if at all) into T's Fantasy/Elektra output, but I'm telling you, there's a whole 'nother set of listeners who have... I've only recently been checking it out myself, and have found it to be mostly better than I expected, but mostly not as good as I wanted. There area few exceptions though...

Johnny Guitar Watson was a baaaaad man, going back to the 1950s and all the way up to the end. Ignore him (but not necessarily all of his records) at your peril! Now speaking of George Adams, him & Byard Lancaster were both on a Johnny Copeland album about 25 or so years ago...Copeland Special I think it was...and they both sound just fine, which really should not be a surprise or in iny other way unexpected. My favorite response to these type threads will always be Whitney Houston & Archie Shepp together on a cut from one of the old Material albums. Freakin' surreal...

Deutch Grammophone already has a series of this type thing. Some are better than others.

There is....and I thought that Gokudo had more thna just 3?

Those 10' covers are on Gokudo.

Thank you for noticing! Besides, for a lot of people, Stanley Turrentine was only a myth before he started recording for Fantasy...

People all over the world, Go stand in a corner and wonder why you're alone. Start a Jazz Train, Jazz Train.

Don't know, but Lorber was of a time/place/generation/whatever when many (most, perhaps...) of the people making the type of music he was making were hipper than they music they were making might lead you to believe.

I like the very early original 10" LPs. those things are like from another world, or like a baseball card.

I'm not ashamed to say that I've heard that song pretty much my entire life, since the folks were big Como fans & regularly played the "Como's Gold Records" LP (or what ever it was called), but hearing this 78 (slightly worn) on a YouTube video through my less that killer computer speakers and still being able to hear the difference between the compressed LP sound and the spaciousness of the 78 is, to me, pretty "awe"-inspiring. I've got maybe 30-50 78s in various conditions of various musics, but nothing of this late vintage (other than some acetate or something of two GE light bulb jingles...gotta love the flea markets...), so I've never experienced the combination of tape & 78, at least not like this. Pretty damn impressive sound, I think.

Roy Haynes?

George Duvivier

Quite apart from the music, check out the room sound. Good God! Even on my hafass computer speakers, I can hear it...

I was thinking more http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zi_uQS0-c2M

Makes perfect sense to me. Country radio won't play him, young fans "respect" him more than know him, there ain't no more record stores, old folks love Cracker Barrel, hey. He oughta do a promo tour and drive up to the restaurants on a lawn mower. That would be the coup-de-gracie. Oh, btw - have your biscuits & gravy, but don't leave w/o having the fried apples. Oh yeah.
