I am not an old man (54 years old this month), but I confess to having been underwhelmed by his two most recent releases after really enjoying his earlier recordings and being very impressed hearing him live.

Wasn't that Smoke?

I own six CDs Binney either led, or co-led, and I heard him live under ideal listening conditions at least once. I enjoyed everything I heard for what it was - very possibly due in some part that he recorded with some of my favorite musicians like Craig Taborn and Mark Turner. I did not feel compelled to follow him where his journey has taken him in recent years. Sorry, I don't think I can offer anything to solve the mystery for you.

Thanks. That at least confirms it is the same recording.

I wonder when this was recorded. I have a disc I purchased used several years ago with the same title that was self released on Daly Bread Records. It is stashed away in a box somewhere right now, but I do not think there were a lot of details included such as the recording date.

Impulse purchase complete.

This motivated me to purchase a few Junior Cook CDs. Although I have heard him on Horace Silver recordings, dates he coled with Louis Hayes and miscellaneous other items, I did not own any of his recordings as a leader. Spent the afternoon listening to Senior Cookin' (twofer including Good Cookin' and Somethin's Cookin') and now On A Misty Night. I also picked up The Place To Be. Enjoying what I have heard so far and even investigated other items in Cook's discography that I can fill some holes in my collection/listening with.

My only exposure to Gale's music that I can recall was the relatively straight MapleShade release, A Minute With Miles. I do have the Cecil Taylor and Larry Young recordings he contributed to, but another artist to add to my gaps that need to be filled. It is a shame I only think about some of these artists when I learn of their passing and read the admiration that many have for them.

Looks like the same session: M4930]Add Jackie McLean Jackie's Bag : Blue Mitchell (tp) Jackie McLean (as) Tina Brooks (ts) Kenny Drew (p) Paul Chambers (b) Art Taylor (d) Englewood Cliffs, N.J., September 1, 1960 tk 3 Melonae's dance Blue Note (Jap)GXF3067, CDP7-46142-2 [CD] tk 5 Appointment in Ghana (*) Blue Note BLP4051, (Jap)GXF3067, CDP7-46142-2 [CD] tk 6 Medina [Minor move] - - tk 11 Isle of Java (#) - - - tk 12 Street singer (+) Blue Note BLP4052, - - tk 15 Ballad for Doll Blue Note BLP4051, - - Note: Blue Note BLP4051(mono) = BST84051(stereo) = (Jap)GXK-8082.

No complaints about sound by me. More importantly, the music is great.

I can't say that I have ever specifically noticed Rosen, but he is in groups and on recordings that I do enjoy. For me that is the case with most drummers - they get subsumed within the overall sound of the music. So if I am enjoying the overall flow/feeling of the music I give the drummer credit for contributing to that feeling. With that said, I have heard Rosen on recordings with Trio X (with Joe McPhee and Dominic Duval) which I really enjoy, live with Trio XL and even caught him live leading a group that included Perry Robinson and Michael Marcus. I have heard him on recordings in a couple of other contexts, but those are the encunters that standout for me. He was practically a house drummer on a lot of CIMP recordings.

My response to my initial listen was very positive.

It was very good. I suspect they prerecorded the two sets and streamed the recordings. I watched both Saturday and Sunday.

I just got a pair of AudioEngine 2+ speakers. Previously I was using some very inexpensive Sony computer speakers. Probably not a fair comparison, but the improvement is considerable.

For what it is worth, Pope performed with that same trio at the Moers Jazz Festival in May 1991. I have a copy of the radio broadcast of the performance. With that it does not seem impossible that the trio could have recorded for the label in 1990.

How is Archie Shepp's Doodlin'? Shorter is listed as playing flugelhorn on that recording.

I purchased the book when it was released. I have not had a chance to dive into it yet.

Ab Baars Trio - A Free Step: The Music of John Carter

Willing to pay a reasonable price.

Agreed.

I received a copy of this a while back. I had not paid much attention to Hollyday when he first came on the scene so I did not have any significant expectations either way. My recollection of the couple of times I listened is that it is a solid recording.

Looks like I will not have to go digging through the boxes.

If you can't find it elsewhere, I might be willing to part with the McLean. I have the music on the Grachan Moncur Mosaic Select, and it is not one of my favorie McLean recordings. The trick for me is locating it. A couple years ago my wife evicted me from the basement space I used to store my music collection. I came home one day to find all my music in boxes and ever since it takes me time to locate anything that is not one of my purchases that came after. If you give me a couple of days, I can probably find it.
