Teasing the Korean

If we extend to composing/arranging/conducting, then Andre Previn. Possibly Michel Legrand and Lalo Schifrin, also, depending on parameters.

The Japanese CD is pitch corrected, or at least at a lower pitch than the EMI CD. I haven't compared it yet at the piano to determine if any of the tunes are in the cracks between keys.

Bob and Norman were brothers. Both played bass for Brubeck in the early years, pre-Eugene Wright. @jazzbo @John L Thanks for the info! 🥂

This studio recording does not seem to appear on another Brubeck album. Some online sources indicate that it was recorded for a single in 1956. However, the track on Greatest Hits is in true stereo. Anyone know the story?

For a smartass answer, you bring up a valid point. Brubeck was known for his interest in odd (for jazz) rhythms and polyrhythms. He did the famous 2 against 3 in "Someday my Prince will Come" a few years before Time Out. And then he did at least three Time albums afterward, including the one you mentioned. So, is the question really about removing Time Out from our reality and leaving everything else intact, or is it asking about how Brubeck would have done commercially without exploring oddball time signatures? If the question is the former, then Time Further Out may indeed have been the biggest seller, if it spoke to audiences at the time in the same way. If the question is the latter, then your guess is as good as mine. I've always loved Brubeck Time.

In case anyone hasn't noticed, Shazam is terrible for classical music. It tells you the conductor, the soloist, the orchestra, the opus number, the movement number, everything EXCEPT THE COMPOSER, which is usually what I am looking for and, presumably, what many people are looking for when Shazamming classical.

Love his playing on this Neal Hefti homage by Vic Mizzy, from The Addams Family.

Don't forget his two masterpieces Jungle Jazz and African Jazz, by The Great Les Baxter.

Greetings, all, Still here. I won't bore you with the details, but 2025 was a tough year for me. I've been clawing my way back out. Thanks all for the kind words.

Know him only from the Das Boot soundtrack. RIP.

Maybe Kentucky Fried Chicken will let you use it. (I write this as a vegetarian.)

Some of the reviews are saying that Ethan Hawke is miscast.

I learned recently that sometime in the late 1950s or possibly very early 1960s, Nelson Riddle wrote some arrangements for Count Basie. These were apparently played live by the Basie band, but not recorded. In 1962, Riddle gave four of the arrangements to British Bandleader Vic Lewis, who recorded them for a UK EP titled Vic Lewis Swings Nelson Riddle. https://www.discogs.com/release/11391413-Vic-Lewis-Vic-Lewis-Swings-Nelson-Riddle?srsltid=AfmBOopYLbhLVZrSkgJZaU4aCj7trkcQH6EClXH1tvGTrgk8qT3xsv8J I can't find these on the InterTubes, but here is a recent live video of one of the arrangements.

I'm a big fan of the Brazilian Octopus album, which has that international MPs fondue party sound that I can't resist. RIP.

Larry Hart is the subject of a new film. It takes place on the opening night of Rodgers' and Hammerstein's Oklahoma. Ethan Hawke plays Hart.

Not familiar, but will check it! Is it all instrumental? I'm really looking for certain types of lyrics with this thread, but thanks for the suggestion, regardless.

@JSngry, do any of you JSQ box sets have that Columbia album I posted earlier with Ginastera quartet and the modern sculpture on the cover?

I've accumulated a lot of her LPs, mainly because of John Dankworth involvement, and most of these are still in the massive "to be cleaned" section, decades later. Maybe I need to do something about this.

Of those early '70s Tjader Fantasy LPs, I have Tjader & Funky Quarters. I generally like these albums, but I don't like the sound of the Fender Rhodes piano with the vibes. They share a similar timbre, and they sometimes sound like mud when they are playing together. Granted, piano players had limited instrument choices for live gigs in the early 70s.

That was the first Cal Tjader I had on CD, and at the time, I thought it was a great comp. I would probably still think so.

So it looks like I have all the Verve LPs with the exception of Hip Vibrations. From the first Fantasy period, I probably have about half of them. I think I have two Skye albums, and then a few scattered releases from after his return to Fantasy. I typically gravitate toward the Verve albums, but there is so much great stuff from that first Fantasy period.

Thank you both. I'll check out the YouTube vids.
