No more tears!

Jesus, one more reminder of why I feel REALLY bad having to say (when I have to say it) that I just don't like Michael Brecker except for every once in a while. The dude played his ass off and was by all accounts totally humble about it. But...nothing here for me except a detached admiration. That's all I can do with it. Still, these guys came to play, and they certainly did

That goes on the list or the list doesn't go on at all!

The December 1993 issue of Musician Magazine sure did...but even they were still thinking in terms of who was going to do the selling, not would there be any selling at all... https://www.ebay.ca/itm/MUSICIAN-Magazine-Dec-1993-Future-Shocks-The-Band-Music-Industry-History/303855437113?hash=item46bf320539:g:6J0AAOSwGrhf66zs

and not Berlin, Ossiach. Berlin was something else, obviously. Glass either half-full or half-empty. Determining factor = how thirsty are you right now?

I do, yes! Thinking MPs, because there for a while, MPS was released in the US by BASF, but this was not anything to do with any of that... Still, yes, IT EXISTS!

No, certainly wouldn't expect it to be on Columbia. OCD-ish completists-collectorivists need to be aware, though, just for friends to be friends! Thing is, I don't know where I saw it, or even that I did...

Wow, I could have saved a lot of time and gotten born 30 or so years later and not missed a thing! Who knew? But seriously, for those who were, damn, that's pretty much everything that's so far "official"...but I keep thinking that thee's one cut from berlin 1971 that made it on to an MPS record...am I imagining that? I know there's boots of the entire gig, but one cut on MPS? Yes? No?

Domino Theory in particular is a very strong album. "Db Waltz"...there it is!

LOVE CITY!!!!

get dat money dawg

I caught that same band, only a year earlier, the Mysterious Traveler tour, Percussionist was Dom Um Romao. My first time, far from my last. Eight times total, iirc. Not a dud in the bunch, all of them memorable, especially one with Jaco & the "power quartet", where Jaco got just a little TOO cocky and started to get predatory about Wayne's stage space...my god, don't be fooled by all that humbleselfeffacingdisappearing nonsense about Wayne. Jaco poked the bear, and the bear ROARED back. All through music, though, and not a whole lot of eye contact. Joe and Wayne...different personalities altogether, and they each had egos (probably manifested in totally different ways), but..."like" is too basic for that duo, probably "love" is as well. Understanding, that's my view of it, and understanding up to the point of when to end it. No McCartney trying to plead to keep the band together type stuff here, at least not to my understanding. All things considered, perhaps the ultimate/definitive 70s jazz band.

They understood each other. I don't know if "like" really enters into it, I mean, you want to like the family nest door. Getting into this type of band for this long (long enough to survive the whole Jaco thing in one piece), I think "liking" each other was, like, something that had already happened, long before the band even formed. At some point, they went their own ways, but damn, it took a while. Joe talks about it in his autobiography. Michelle Mercer talks about it in her Wayne bio (and that one did an autobiography and the other had a biography written, says something about the quality of each's personality, imo). Joe was always going to be the hyper Type A, Wayne the hyper Type-C. And if it's insight that you're looking for, both books should be read, imo. Joe's is as blunt as Wayne's is elusive. No surprise there! The only WR album that sounds like they're both not in there is the very last one, and probably because...they weren't. Still got a damn good cover of "What's Going On?" out of the deal, though. Helluva band all the way through. Even ifthe post-Jaco editions got a little (or more, at times) self-referencing, they never coasted, especially live. And if you didn't see them live...they were a monster live. "Volcano For Hire" indeed!

Forgot about that one! Indeed, some overlap: https://www.discogs.com/Chick-Corea-Early-Circle/release/275259 Tracks 1 to 9 originally issued in 1975 on Circling In (Blue Note BN-LA472-H2) Tracks 10 originally issued in 1978 on Circulus (Blue Note BN-LA882-J2)

Circling In had extra material from the Now He Sings... and The Song Of Singing sessions that was included in their respective CD reissues. The rest of the material, all of which is the quartet with Braxton, has not yet been so favored.

yes!

When was this recorded? Bradford/Carter AND James Newton?!?!?!?!?!

Gotta look for that one then, thanks for the heads up! Those piano rolls are....vivid, to say the least. The sound of the full score being played on a piano without he use of hands...it carries an wallop, to be sure!

I actually put this BFT together during the first weekend(?) of November of last year (long story....), so this was already on it. But you recent uncovering of more Big Nick certainly adds a new relevancy (for me) to its presence here! I got that record in...1972? 1973? Came with a Down Beat subscription IIRC. an amazing record, and this is the opening cut. I had never heard Big Nick before (except as the title/dedicatee of a Trane tune) and it would be at least a decade (more?) before I heard him again. That solo (the one here) fucked me up, like immediately, and I've not yet fully recovered. NOBODY played quite like that, tone, phrasing, harmonic rhythm, a lot of existing things put together in a totally original way. That whole record, this cut in particular, especially this Big Nick solo (and btw, there's a splice or something in there that throws off the 12 bar structure, but big deal, he was already discombobulating all that long before that splice) is one of those things that the more you listen to it, the more you hear, the more mysteries get unfolded, the more mysteries take their place, just one of those records. For me, anyway. As for the BFT, anybody noticing the 3rd band riff behind Big Nick? That's a thing that became a Sonny Clark trademark, so obviously it was in his air, but...it sounds so familiar, did it really start with this band? I doubt it, but whose air was it in for THEM to breathe? Dan Morenstern's liner notes say something like it's reminiscent of the Savoy Sultans, but is that a reference or just an illusion? Inquiring minds want to know!

Piano roll thread here: CD available here, at somewhat collector-y prices: https://www.amazon.com/Stravinsky-Spring-orchestral-pianola-versions/dp/B00000IGPV Got mine from Berkshire, maybe they still have some?

Is that a piano roll, or is he doing the playing real-time? There's a record of a piano roll he made for The Rite Of Spring that is amazing.

What's the price on this THE NEW?
