Reminds me of a story.... A recently married couple had been living in pure bliss for almost a month when the husband's birthday drew near. The wife, eager to please the love of her life upon this, his special day, said to him with total sincerity, "since it will be the day the day that you, the one whose life means more to me than all others came into being, it will be my pleasure to do for you anything you ask. And I do mean anything!" The husband, a man of unlimited desire but perhaps not so unlimited imagination, thought for a while, unable to decide which of the many fantasies running through his mind he would choose to come true. Finally he reached a conclusion and said, "I would like nothing more than for you to fix me a fine steak dinner, after which we will go into the living room, and you can fellatiate me while I watch a Three Stooges video that you personally select for me. "The wife, a fine cook and a most randy spirit herself, readily agreed. They sealed the deal with a passionate session of lovemaking right then and there. Oh how deeply in love they were! The big day came, and the wife went to the city's finest meat market and bought their best porterhouse. She stopped at the neighborhood video store on the way home and rented every Three Stooges DVD collection the store had. This, she just knew in her heart of hearts, would be a night that they would both remember forever. Needless to say, the husband cane home from work on Cloud Nine, knowing that the woman he loved above all else was preparing to open new doors of ecstasy for him. The dinner was superb, almost orgasm-inducing itself, so perfectly prepared it was. They retired to the living room, whereupon the wife excused herself for a few moments, only to return clad in see-through black lingerie and the reddest red lipstick imaginable. The husband immediately sprung to the fullest of attentions, whereupon the wife unbuckled his belt, lowered his trousers, turned on the DVD player, and gently yet purposefully pushed him down into his favorite chair. For over an hour she pleasured him in ways that he had never dreamed possible, and that, truthfully, she herself had never performed before. Hers was a spontaneous outpouring of the purest, most intense passion imaginable. All the while, the husband was enjoying the pleasure of his his life, accompanied by the madcap antics of his favorite comedy ensemble of all time. Could life ever be any better than this? Surely not! Finally, the moment of inevitability began to arrive, the most passionate & loving event in this most passionate and loving of encounters. But alas, suddenly, without any warning, the husband leaped from his chair and yelled with near-homicidal vehemence, " GODDAMN IT!!! YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT!!! YOU GOTTA GO AND FUCK EVERYTHING UP, DON'T YOU!!!" The wife pulled backed in shocked disbelief and began to weep uncontrollably. "What have I done, my love, what have I done?" Without hesitation, the husband ejaculated, "Sonofabitch, it's a motherfucking SHEMP!!!" Thing were never quite the same for the young couple after that...

It was coupled with "Live at the Five Spot" on a Blue Note two-fer in the 1970's. Can't recall the title. Little Niles, wasn't it?

UP! This is freakin' BRILLIANT!!!!

Are these things only available as bit-torrents? Or have they been mp3-ed somewhere? I'm just wondering for, uh, you know, research purposes...

That ol' Bill Dixon, ain't he the painterman too?

Then he would have been Bud Shank...

Hell, this thing has been out for 6 months already. Time flies!

My son hipped me to this a few months ago. I dig it, not least ofg all because it's only "retro" up to a point. There's an underlying hip-hop ethos to the production throughout, as well as little "cues" here and there in the vocals and lyrics that this guy is very much of his times. If old folks (white and otherwise) like me dig it, cool, but in no way are "we" the target audience. But hey, let's keep that a secret and let the guy sell to us anyway. Win-win, ya' know? Also did not know that he had been a member of Tony! Toni! Tone! That was a pretty interesting outfit at times, so this all makes more sense knowing that.

It sold briskly to me...

Apparently, both were taken from the same concert. Is this correct? Club date, iirc. Don't get me wrong, both are fine. But for my money Master is the one I'd get if I were only getting one.

I like Masters a lot better than Night, one's a near-classic, the other "merely" good, but both are worth getting, especially if you've yet to be fully immersed in the whole Woody Shaw bag but think you might want to be or know that you do. Just my opinion.

certainly you're aware of this smokin' live disc featuring Henderson: an excellent disc, all 'round! Certainly and indeed, but for my taste, Joe's contribution to the JWL is far superior than what he does on that one.

Sorry, but this isn't really correct. The release of this has been in the works for a while, over a year. Freddie and I listened to these recordings last January (2008) while we were working on our last CD together (we were doing post production stuff in LA and we played this stuff in the car to and from the studio every day, he loved it). The takes were chosen and mixed over the Summer I believe and Freddie asked for some changes to be made in the order after he received the first master. This was all done way before he had his heart attack. He was paid for the relase of this of course and in advance which is the norm for this and it had nothing to do with medical expenses as he wasn't hospitalized yet. Now the overpress thing, that would be nice and this hasn't been mentioned to me so I can't say for sure. I think I know who your source is and I personally took a lot of the information I used to get from him with a grain of salt.... Forgot Henderson was on the Thad and Mel stuff. That would make it well worth investigating and as you said time does change things...... perhaps another call is in order I'll take your word on all this, David.

Still trying to get this one out of my head... And still...

Wow....I can't answer this question, if only because I can "get into" people and still not really "like" them. I can, and do, listen two different ways, sometimes at the same time - "as a musician" and "as a fan". And things can get to me one way that they don't the other. I mean, Brubeck, ok, not a "hero" or anything, but damn, the guy had some really interesting and provocative harmonic ideas, both as a soloist and accompanist. And so forth. Even my general target of scorn, Stan Kenton, well hey, even aside from the Graettinger stuff and the acknowledged "exceptions to the rule", I've evolved a bit of "understanding" about why ti is what/how it is. I still don't "like" it, but technically, and to some extent sociologically, there's a story there. Hell, there's usally some kind of story in even the lamest piece of shit music made anywhere on Earth, even if it's a story about how much "settling" goes on in this life. That's not necessarily a musical story, but still, there's life even in that, and I respect it accordingly. Loathe it as well, perhaps, but respect and loathing need not be mutually exclusive, lest one turn into a creature of hate instead of a creature with rather strong aversions.
