Looks like Fitzgerald's Chronology is at odds with this date.. He has them at Radio City Music Hall the night after and with Eddie Henderson, Cedar Walton and Curtis Fuller in the band. It's possible I guess........ I think the Radio City date you cite is from 1973...this Carnegie gig is given as 7/3/74 & is not listed at all by Fitzgerald. Oops, my bad this time.....makes more sense now....

Yeah, Carnegie, my bad. Don't be surprised about Dara. The man has solid skills. I saw him in Chicago in 1980 at the debut(?) of the Henry Threadgill Sextet & the cat was a marvel, all over the horn. Particularly impressive were his mute skills. The guy worked those things to produce micro shadings of timbre of the type that you can hear in person but don't pick up so well on recordings (at least none that I've heard. Dara's current "image" as a roving, all-purpose Deltablues griot can't hide the fact that in the late 70s & early 80s, he was a pretty significant & unique voice on trumpet. Of course, most of the music he was making was in the so-called "loft scene" of the time, which was not particularly well-documented domestically, and which was the target of the Marsialisistic brand of Jazz Fascism. But yeah, don't be surprised by Olu Dara! As far as the mutiny thing...1974 was not particularly late for that sort of thing. The whole "spiritual jazz" movement was all about not looking backwards but forwards, and the Black Nationalist movement was still gaining momentum then. Hard Bop in general and "Blues March" in particular weren't necessarily going to be something that the younger-ish African-American players of the time would look forward to playing with gusto & relish, if you know what I mean. I seriously doubt that it was anything personal against Blakey, just...you know, when "revolution" is in the air (and it still was in the jazz community in 1974) people's views of "the tradition" are different than they are when "preservation & tribute" are the driving forces. And remember -Musical Director Cedric Lawson had come straight from Electric Miles. You know his POV was not going to be "YEAH!!! let's play this like they did 15-20 years ago"... None of this really drives the ultimate "value" of the performance under discussion, but I think some context is called for. Me myself, I always prefer heads to be played as clearly as possibly (unless specifically necessitated to not be), and then when the solos come, hey... So I was not impressed by the head fuckup on "Blues March". It just doesn't fit the gig. But once that gets out of the way, I do like the groove everybody hits and what they do with it. Certainly not anything "revelatory," but to hear Blakey tell it back in the day, he once had a band with an "avant-garde" trumpet player in it, and shit, this guy "couldn't even play the blues"! I think this recording proves otherwise, Dara & Co. don't be playing the Hard Bop Blues, to be sure, but they DO be playing their blues, and with that, it's fine by me, even though the bandleader ultimately wanted something else. Actually I saw the Threadgil numerous times in New York in 1980- 1982 before I went off to North Texas. They were by far my favorite band around at this time. I remember Dara being great but don't remember him being this strong like he is on this Carnegie gig (trumpet-wise that is). I live in the same neighborhood as Threadgill and we frequent the same local Italian cafe. I've gotten to hang out with him quite a bit because of this over the last couple of years. One day we got on the topic of the Sextett and all the places I saw the group play in the early years.......lots of loft spaces that I never knew about or went to before or ever went to again. He remembered pretty much all of them. It was quite a band. Was Joseph Bowie in the band when you saw them? By the time the band came to Caravan of Dreams a few years later Dara was gone (Rasul Siddick instead) and I guess Craig Harris was there. As for the rest, I guess you are right that this definitely comes out of the more spiritual, modal freedom of the '70s then the '60s freedom (though they are related I suppose) and yes I agree, the melodies should be respected and executed with some meaning and correctness but then after that, all bets are off......

Looks like Fitzgerald's Chronology is at odds with this date.. He has them at Radio City Music Hall the night after and with Eddie Henderson, Cedar Walton and Curtis Fuller in the band. It's possible I guess........

Jim, this one is from Carnegie Hall.... I was a bit surprised how strong Olu Dara was here trumpet wise. His trumpet playing is really strong with a very full, bold, solid sound and has some impressive range as well. It seems like the whole band is sort of in mutiny mode, sort of like this is some tired old shit old man, we're going to show you what can be done with this but some of it is just trite. To me, how they fuck with the melody in Blues March is just like some bored, hipper than thou college students acting out in class. Things do get interesting at times though...... My initial thought was that it's kind of late to go here. I mean it is 1974 already. This would have been a little more timely and shocking in the late '60s I think. The irony is the audience seems to be eating it up. It sounds like an enthusiastic, sold out audience in Carnegie Hall. I have a bootleg of the Messengers from 1969 with Slide Hampton, Bill Hardman and Billy Harper where they play the theme and after playing the head they go into this free, intense, all out extended group improvisation. It's killing and it works and grabbed much more than anything I heard here..... Bertrand, I reached out tho the one person I know at Wolfgang's Vault and clarified the omission. We'll see what happens.....

A true master with quite the diverse filmography. Network is one of my favorites and his New York films capture New York of that era like no other

Well, we've always hears about this and now there is proof thanks to Wolfgang's Vault My link The untitled tune is Ugetsu. I'm going to venture a guess and say this is not going to be Cedar Walton's favorite version.......

Mystic Journey is great. Azar is also a guest on the new Cookers CD Cast the First Stone. It's nice to see that Herlin Riley is with McCoy. I always thought he was a great drummer from the time I first heard him with Ahmad Jamal when I was in college. Good to see he is in a situation that can utilize all his skills.

I'm sure they will be correct on the CD itself. I think the plan is to start a Keystone series, let's hope that works out.

The Freddie CD is totally legit. I did some work on it and there is some really nice stuff on this. Freddie's playing is really strong of course......

I'm going to go with Bob Brookmeyer..... He's playing a trombone mouthpiece so perhaps it's some sort of warped valve trombone

OK Gents, everyone's packages shipped today. Thanks to all, especially those who ordered my stuff, enjoy.....

Bertrand, You can pay any way you like....... Seriously though paypal is preferred but a check is fine and I'm sure I'll be OK with whatever method works best for you guys, just PM me. Thanks.

Gents, If you're interesting in purchasing a copy of Cast The First Stone a little ahead of it's release date, see my post in the Offering and Looking For section. This offer is only for the US and Canada, it's already out in Europe. Thanks.....

There are no listing for any Herbie Hancock concerts from 1966 on (through the end of 1974 at least) The only Tyrone Washington appearance I could find was with Horace Silver 6/18/67

E-Mail, EPK and yousendit or some version of that. E-Mail a yousendit link and then they can download your press kit and music with one click of the mouse. A nice introductory letter with some of your accolades to get them interested in clicking on the link might help. Not to state the obvious but soliciting gigs is not fun.

Thanks guys for all the kind birthday wishes for this year and last. I can't believe I missed this thread last year.

I did get in some copies of the French release before our show but we sold them out at the gig. Hopefully I will get more soon and be able to offer them to you guys well in advance of the release date. Hopefully we will be able to at some point. I guess we should try to make it out to Earshot next year. If you have any info that would help us, that would be greatly appreciated. I'm glad you like the Jazz Legacy disc but wait until you hear the next one..... The shows went really well I thought. Thanks to all of you who were able to make it..... We will be doing a lot of touring next year so hopefully we will come to a town near you soon.

I have a copy of this. I think I won it on ebay for less then $10 a few years ago. It might be rare but it doesn't seem like it has any real value so it's just a matter of one showing up somewhere. It looked nice on one of my shelves for a while and now it's buried somewhere......

Two actually..... This one, Warriors and one recorded for a French label Plus Loin that will released in Europe in November and in the US in March or April. If you are a fan of the all out intensity this group can create, then perhaps the Plus Loin date has a little more of that (it's called Cast the First Stone, a Billy Harper tune). I might be able to get copies of this one early and offer it to you guys at a discounted price if you want.
