the lp says recording by orville o'brien RE-RECORDING AND MASTERING: RVG re-recording? heyyy i found this db review in another thread of vol 1: Freddie Hubbard "The Night of the Cookers" Pensativa/Walkin'. Blue Note Q 8LP4207 0 BST84207 (12 in., 45s. lid. Incl. PT) 'Location' recording (i.e. when portable equipment is taken to a club or concert) involves a dangerously high element of chance. Having taken his gear along to Brooklyn's "Club La Marchal" last year, engineer Orville O'Brien must have realized, with despair, that he had chosen a night when the musicians were simply off form. For this is not a particularly good example of either Freddie Hubbard or his guest, Lee Morgan. I suspect, in fact, that if the musicians had had any say in the matter they might well have decided not to sanction the issue of this LP. In retrospect (and how easy it is to be wise after the event) the cards appear to have been stacked against the project right from the start. There is, after all, no reason to suppose that a regular unit (in this case Freddie Hubbard's quintet) will benefit from the addition of a couple of guests (Morgan on trumpet, Big Black on conga drum). The musical balance of the regular group is thrown off-centre and it is clear at the outset that no one was very happy with Clare Fischer's Pensativa. As is sometimes the case with lack-lustre performances, both tracks go on far too long, and this is an occasion when less might have meant more. The total playing time is over 40 minutes, yet I suspect that the really valuable moments could all go on to a single EP. Incidentally, the sleeve carries an advertisement for a second volume (Blue Note mono BLP4208 stereo BST84208) from the same session, and again comprising only two titles. If the present LP is anything to go by, then I suspect that we shall be presented with yet more filibustering by Hubbard, Morgan, Black, James Spaulding, Harold Mabern, Larry Ridley and Pete LaRoca.

heyyyyyy! thanks jsngry, i wanted to hear that from someone all day! hey so yea i dont get it either....did they want to start w/ standards and ease on in to the freddie originals? we have to ask michael cuscana what he thinks, actually he prob doesnt have a clue, BUT HES SEEN THE TAPEBOXES hed have -something- to say abt it! I HAD A FEELING abt the engineer i had a feeling. cause i read abt on a prev thread (the search feat. is so hard), and it said freddie handed the tapes over to BN to fufill his contract so he can move to Atlantic . plus the quality is diff, but i dont care, Breaking Point COOKS. im so happy i got it, at first i was unsure, but im keeping it forever

Stan Kenton - City of Glass
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez replied to Alon Marcus's topic in Album Of The Week
this was never cut up onto 78s was it? i have the original (?) 10" capitol lp -
makes more sense, the two freddie originals lp....well my ny usa mono copy....unusual for bluenotes of this era, the 7 in 4207 is changed, rather noticeably, as a change, to an "8" to make it 4208. i do not know if vol 1 reads as 4208 back into a 7. right now im jamming to 'breaking point'. have we discussed the SQ before, on organissimo? not rvgs greatest achievent.....

dude but that argument could be made about anything in organissimo. i have a record of the 1984 padres baseball championships, but wouldnt that be more appropriate to but in Misc- Non Music than the "vinyl forum"? i post in vinyl forum too, like "great finds on vinyl" and things of the such. but frankly artists is a primary forum on organissimo, and im more concerned with the ARTIST (lee morgan) and why he recorded that day at A&M than the vinyl in and of itself, so i posted in artists, where it will get more views and input, please dont me mad at me, i love you Sonnymax!

The Dave Lambert Singers - Audition at RCA
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez replied to paul secor's topic in Artists
i havent watched it yet and i actually havent heard LHR, but that is tragic he was killed on the freeway, it reminds me of the tragedy that happened to Bill Cosby's son. so this was his larger-ensemble group, he had? i cant wait to see rca studios and them doing the sesh and stuff. -
.,..........you know what..... Midnight Cowboy / Popi !!!!!!! A side= beautiful, wow. lee's 1 shining moment in the pop spotlight. really, its breathtaking-- maybe this song was overplayed in the 60s....but not for me, ive never really heard it much, maybe once in the movie i saw one time i cant even remember, but thats it- so to me, its new and fresh B side= tj brassesque, on sleeping pills? i have no clue. (also from a movie). to me it appears like maybe the session was done more 'on the fly'- even the LABEL PRINTING, doesnt fit in w/ titles before or after it. Why A&M studios? ill check the discog again but i think it was rvg before and after for lee, for a really long time-- also whats with toots on this? has anyone ever asked him abt this? is this toots's only bluenote date?! once again, midnight cowboy is BEAUTIFUL. god i wish lee morgan had like 32 more albums
