Dub Modal

I'm on it. I got his Jazz Dance Suites a couple of years ago and it was a great album. His playing certainly remains top notch. I just saw where he played at the Kennedy Center in 2022 for the Mingus tribute. He should be one of the next honorees IMO.

Dub Modal track: Track 4: The Count On Rush Street with Conte Candoli (tp), Art Pepper (as), Bob Cooper (ts), Shelley Manne (d), Bill Russo (tb, composer), Gene Esposito (p), Don Bagley (b); recorded 11/12/51 This is from the Savoy compilation CD Deep People that includes the original album ID'd by @JSngry in the thread. As noted, sound quality on this recording isn't great but I really like the playing and the composition. It was Pepper's solo that first caught my ear after a few times listening and made me sit up and really pay attention. Anyway, glad I included it b/c as mentioned in the main thread, the "Count" in this case is Conte which I didn't know, thinking it was a reference to Count Basie. This one got good remarks from most everyone and I'm glad you all enjoyed it. Thanks @Dan Gould for putting this very cool anniversary BFT idea together. Honored to create a this compilation with all contributors. BFTs are always a good way to experience some new music. Glad you put this track in here. Definitely love some UK jazz. Seems like really fertile ground in that scene these days and for the past few years really. This one's on my radar now. I would never have picked your track as being recorded in the 90s. Wow. I missed which track you selected though...which one was it?

Did we discuss how we want to do the reveal? Guessing that will be posted tomorrow.

Thanks for the link. Definitely intrigued.

I had the same sentiment on the sound quality when I first listened to this. I didn’t revisit it for a long time bc of that actually. Thought about getting rid of it too. Then at some point, it clicked for me. Jim ID’d the record it came from, but this is from the CD. No idea if the LP would sound better. All I can say is I’m glad I gave it multiple listens. Definitely wish someone would clean it up - if that’s even possible. Trumpet is Candoli btw. Alto is Pepper and tenor is Bob Cooper.

lol don’t get me started on the NC Symphony

Looks like the North Carolina Symphony didn’t get the memo https://www.ncsymphony.org/events/540/rhapsody-in-blue/

The Chet Baker/Jack Sheldon seems like an odd choice. I guess Chet sells...? I noticed other records with these guys included a big band with Land, Pepper, etc. which seemed way more intriguing.

This is a pretty good RSD for jazz fans.

Knock $100 off if you’re a member. I won’t be buying it but I do wish that liners/additional writings would be sold separately.

Didn’t know that. I was thinking the Count reference was a nod to Basie. Glad to know the actual details. Discogs doesn’t list other recordings of this song unless I’m missing it.

There ‘tis

Thanks for all you do. Sorry you’re having to deal with this kind of thing.

Error here as well. Tagging @tkeith

This is the La Roca/Grimes trio correct?

Are we talking ads vs no ads type of tiers or something different? Seems like certain content could be free while others would be paid subs.

IDK but someone needs to edit them together because that would be hilarious

Interesting convo about this re modern remastering choices and preferences vs original intent. This can’t be the only note or song affected.

Very slight correction in that track 4’s album has been ID’d but I don’t think the actual song from that album has been named - unless I missed it. Shouldn’t be too difficult to do anyway.

The writer’s annoyance at the whistle is hilarious

Donation sent. Thanks for keeping this running

The first 3 quarters of that game were brutal to watch. Thankfully things picked up in the 4th and OT. Had the Niners won, game ball should have gone to special teamer Chris Conley who absolutely balled out.

The twitter account cited in the blog article as support for the author’s overall point thinks “Israel did 9/11” which should be problematic enough not to use them as any sort of authority. I’m not familiar with that blog but maybe that aligns with the blogger’s sympathies, and maybe not. Always worth checking sources though, especially on the cesspool of culture that is now Twitter/X. Anyway, I see the disclaimer from Max as less PC and more CYA. As we move further away from 70s cinema, new audiences may need more in the way of an introduction to set the stage so to speak.

Per the liner notes from Echoes of Indiana Avenue, for 6 straight years Wes worked at a radio parts factory from 7am-3pm every day, then had a gig from 9-2am, and then a late night gig from 2:30-5am. Appreciate the link for Buck Hill. He's someone I need to learn more about.

Wow. Similar to Wes Montgomery and probably a whole lot of musicians as well.
