Teasing the Korean

Quite a bit. Several RCA LPs, at least 2 UA LPs, some singles not collected on LP. This gives you an idea, but it is not complete. (There is at least one more UA album.) http://www.spaceagepop.com/sauterfi.htm The existing CDs (that I've heard) do not do them justice. Lots of sleepy, corny stuff for the Music of Your Life crowd, and few of the adventurous arrangements. Of course, if Mosaic released this stuff, we would not get the Jim Flora cover art, so we would lose much of what makes this music cool to begin with.

The great Sauter-Finegan album that has eluded me is Adventures in Time. I have the same reaction whenever I hear "from a jazz point of view."

This was one of a few Sauter-Finegan albums I unloaded years ago. It idid not have the X factor, but I think condition played a role also. Some of their stuff is too corny. That stuff went also. The best SF albums have Jim Flora cover art. Why would you want to listen to an album with ugly cover art when you can listen to an album with bold, moderne cover art?

I will check. We were playing the album while we were cooking, talking, and enjoying beverages. I remember bagpipes, lots and lots of bagpipes.

Does he play any tenor on Tribute to Courage?

I did not know about these. I admittedly do not have much Satch in my haphazard music accumulation. I will add these to my list, but after moving all those LPs and CDs last year, I have for the most part sworn off buying new stuff. Of course, that will end at some point. I'll see if they are on the InterTubes.

I never had the Ella and Louis Porgy and Bess album until I received as a gift last year the complete Ella and Louis box set. Now playing for the first time Porgy and Bess, and imagine my surprise to learn that the arrangements are by Thee Great Russ Garcia! I love Garcia's nod to George Duning in "I Want to Stay Here" during the overture. I can only wish that Garcia arranged Ella's Cole Porter and Rodgers and Hart songbooks.

Can't see the picture.

Alas, I don't have it, and as I've stated elsewhere, I've pretty much stopped buying music.

I found them. Neither are MLK-specific, but I always play them this weekend. One is the Rufus Harley Tribute to Courage album which pays tribute to everyone but MLK: JFK, Muhammad Ali, Trane, and Malcolm X. The Kirk albums are Natural Black Inventions and Blacknuss. The Kirk albums were in the unfilled section, and I had filed Rufus Harley under Now Sound instead of Jazz. Incidentally, in the soprano sax thread, I apologized for disparaging the soprano when I can enjoy listening to Rufus Harley on bagpipes.

Currently grooving to Rufus Harley on bagpipes, and realizing that I am a total hypocrite for being annoyed by the soprano sax yet enjoying Rufus Harley on bagpipes. It takes a big man - and you can see how large I am in my profile pic - to admit that he is wrong. Carry on.

I must have played them on the MLK weekend prior to moving, and then they got misfiled. I have a huge section of unfiled LPs. I always play a particular Rufus Harley and Rahsaan Roland Kirk album for MLK weekend. I suppose I could cheat and play my Oliver Nelson JFK CD.

I thought this was going to be a Bob Dylan thread.

Thank you both. I will have to look for that French version.

Not to derail the thread, but has there ever been a decent digital release of the RCA album?

Voices and instruments produce different types of waveforms and overtones. It is pure science. Some of us simply don't like the waveforms and overtones that particular voices and instruments produce. I personally hate the sound of the soprano sax, and I can only imagine how much I would hate its bastard cousin, should I ever have the misfortune of hearing it.

That was my first thought also, given the year.

And one of the Tom Dissevelt/Kid Baltan tracks when released in the U.S. was given the very sci-fi title "The Ray Makers." It was a very fortuitous last name for an electronic music pioneer. Dick Raaijmakers left us in 2013. RIP.

Any relation to Dick?

On the contrary, great minds!

It seems we stood and talked like this before...

Any relation to Dick?

Are these the ones where they just recorded Bird's solos?

As if the soprano sax isn't annoying enough...

The cover art admittedly made it hard to unload these. Most of the Command albums for me lack a certain X factor that distinguishes the best space-age bachelor pad albums. In general, I find that they lack the kind of harmonic and orchestration depth you hear in the best stuff. I do think that many of the Command albums contain one or two standout tracks, and someone with more patience than I could probably assemble a very good compilation. But I have only so much time and so much shelf space.
