Teasing the Korean

I'm amazed that after Katrina anyone would take this lightly.

Maybe Cahn/Van Heusen wrote it for fun and gave it to Sinatra as a prank? Who knows? I love some of those lines, though: "i don't think it drastic/To seek the monastic life/Having known love's lure..." I can just imagine Frank singing that!

Songwriter Jimmy Van Heusen sings the would-be title track of this scrapped Sinatra concept album idea. This acetate, rumored to have existed for decades but believed to be lost, has finally surfaced.

I have both albums and love them immensely. I wish there were more but apparently these are the only two.

Freddie Hubbard - Hub Cap - Blue Note (70s twofer reissue) Stereo; mono playback to improve the balance. Hank Mobley - Roll Call - Blue Note Stereo; mono playback to improve the balance.

Does anyone know these albums? I have the album "Spleen" on Limelight, and the Verve album that is half Oliver Nelson, half Sound of Feeling. Who bought these records? Who were they marketed to? I can't believe they exist.

Yes. As I wrote earlier, In a Silent Way is the album Bitches Brew gets the credit for being.

The Sound of Feeling - Spleen - Limelight (stereo)

That's an interesting take, but I personally disagree. I don't think a record has to be a complete performance, regardless of the genre. To me, the final result is what matters, not the process.

This seems to make sense. A similar parallel is Brubeck asking Desmond to not use piano players on Desmond's sessions.

Wow.

The record industry may be glad they're getting rid of Dylan's post-78 stuff. There's a bright side to everything.

In A Silent Way must be one of my favorite albums ever in any genre. For me, it is the Miles Davis album that Bitches Brew gets the credit for being. I have IASW on LP but never got a CD. While I've been tempted by this box for a long time, I also worry that it will forever change the way I hear the original. Who knew "Shhh/Peacefu"l had a "head" in the traditional sense? I'm torn between which way to go. The album is so perfect. Teo was a member of the band as far as I'm concerned.

thanks!

Is the LP edit of the album included in the box, or is it just the raw extended takes?

Any place in or near Savannah I should hit while I'm there?

You can buy used copies over the internet, for starters.

What's interesting is that all four generally either were or weren't available at the same time, because they were either recording/gigging with Miles or not, so you'd think that they may have all showed up on a session even if by chance. They were of course a solid and intuitive unit, so it's interesting that it apparently didn't happen (that I can find, at least).

You're right, but with all the available music competing for my limited dollars, I am less likely to buy good music from someone so dismissive of his customer base. And I'm guessing you meant two-dimensional, e.g. flat, lacking depth. I don't know what one-dimensional means.

That will be your loss. Much care has gone into previous releases—they are exemplary. Agreed. It's a very fine label. I have a number of their releases, both historical and more recently recorded sessions. Some of the booklets are so thick that you fight to get them in and out of the jewel cases. Did I misunderstand, or did someone from the label insult one of its customers (Allen Lowe) because he posted a legitimate complaint about the product?

Maiden Voyage, if you want to allow for George Coleman instead of Wayne. Well, yes, but I was referring to the Wayne group.

I won't buy anything from this label.

I thought I must have a bunch of albums by this group in other settings, mostly on the Blue Note label. As I look through my albums and CDs, I find albums with 2 or 3 members, but never all 4, at least until the VSOP album in the 70s. Am I missing something obvious? Was there an agreement, formal or otherwise, that the entire group wouldn't play together in other settings?
