i just got a white label promo of 'ellington '66' and the guy that commented on my post was right, it is good arrangements, save the beatle tunes which dont work on this album for me. i mean its just that here you have what at one point was -the- greatest band in the world...and yea but look what i really wanted to comment was if you guys like him seek out VANCOUVER '70 AT THE CAVE. vols 1-2. aud. recorded mono sound so it sounds like one of his old time concerts.....but its still '70... very cool. it TOTALLY has that old school ellington band vibe. (even better cause julian priesters on it). i would also like to say i totally dont "get" a drum is a woman yet. i got a really nice white label promo of it and i thought it would be my new favorite- duke orch + candido...im sold. but candido barely is featured, and its album like an audio-musical......anyways my main beef is candidos barely featured.....

did not know he did that!

time to bid!

"i punched in do-doo-do-doo and we played the tune out"

first of all i swear to god i looked at the campaign last night. because i discovered the just posted campaign for alphonse mouzon, and the next featured related link was Bobs, which I had seen prior, but i clicked and viewed and thought about it, very end of night- in addition to sonny of course, one of the very best part of the whole sonny concert experience was seeing bob cranshaw. one important thing about him i learned by being around him was that he was very proud of was his involvement with TV show Sesame St. he was very proud of his role in what that show did for people. i asked him why he used a fender electric bass on rough n tumble but acoustic bass on hank mobley albums and he said stanley asked him to bring it to the session, and hank was going for a more straight ahead thing. I saw Bob outside of a Sonny performance once....he was a special guest at a huge all star concert at ucla- so i saw the Sidewinder (& "gettin around") rhythm section: Barry Harris / Bob Cranshaw / Billy Higgins + Charles Lloyd rock "Sweet Georgia Brown"....

RIP

just got this only diff in is mine has not cover sticker its really amazing duke could do a record like this, id love to read what the ellington scholars thought of this.

A Slice of the Top, Bird at Cafe Society '50, Charisma, Weather Report Procession, Dippin'

i think what this guy might be talking about is some columbia lps at this time said mastered on the xxx-something columbia disc-computer....

hank never got to hear one of his own albums on cd. Dippin came out in japan weeks after he passed.

well both sides are way above amateur, i never even really considered that. next time i play it ill a/b it with the jo stafford to make sure it isnt a dub of that first off

heyyy! no nothin- just a standard "presto" label w/ nothing on it!

There's no You (female voc.) b/w Body and Soul (instrumental small group, featuring clarinet)-- have an acetate of this trying to figure out.....k

id really like to see a new issue of this session, this tape hasnt been pulled much i dont think either. this is almost his best session.

is there a recording of that night

ill tell u this, i was in line to meet him and a young student kindly asked him, do you have any stories you would like to share, about Paul Desmond? Jim Hall just shrugged and said, "no, not really.......but ill tell you this, he would of made a really good old guy." it was the saddest thing ive ever experienced

never seen a copy of this in the wild before, i should of picked this up by now

did anyone see that jimmy heath clip that went round the other day and he said he was all- hey coltrane willie mays broke a record or somethin and coltrane was all: whos wiliie mays? he was 100% involved in his music!

i wonder if he ever played with candido

the 1st pic im sure i have some like that i mustof thought it was usererror...hmm....

its okay- it aint like a CROWN record dawg....
