    Donal Fox?

    JohnS replied to JSngry's topic in Artists

    I have his duo cd on Evidence, Ugly Beauty, with David Murray. I can't say it made much of an impression. Perhaps it's time to listen again.

    I agree, excellent piano trio. Well worth having.

    I use Excel. Basic details only, Artist, title, label and notes. Separate database for cds and vinyl..

    Very sad news. His Kenton Presents records are two of my favourite piano trio albums.

    I think this came out as "Fingerpickin".

    Interesting, but I'm guessing that I have nearly all of this on Savoy doubles.

    That's about right, it's not amazing. I bought the lp when it was first released on the strength of Mance's playing with Gillespie. I sold the record some time later but came to regret it.. I was happy find a Japanese cd a few years back and wouldn't be without it maybe for solely nostalgic reasons. That said I have nothing else by Mance so he doesn't speak much to me either.

    Count me in as a big Savoy fan. The doubles are excellent, nice pressings, intelligent notes and well produced. The music too had its own special quality.

    Same here.

    This one got me this week Nobody Knows The Trouble I've Seen. From David Murray's Speaking In Tongues (Justin Time). Solos by Murray, a typically fine one from Hugh Ragin and sung by Fontella Bass.

    Now, disc 5 (Plus Four and Tenor Madness)

    Aka Soul Groove. A pretty lacklustre session. Not helped by UK Polydors flat sounding pressing. They were mid-price (21/- IIRC). Thin card covers, clarifoil on the front,plain white backs,that became grubby in no time.

    That's right. All being well I'll be there.
  23. JohnS
    Yes, I was there Bob. A memorable evening, you and Rivers.

    Two names stick out - John Coltrane and Gerry Mulligan. I didn't know about the Coltrane gig until the day after it happened. I don't know how I came to miss Mulligan.
