Man, say this title five times real fast!

We've taken this voyage haven't we?

The Impulse stands apart from all the other stuff I've heard him do as a leader. . . it's different and I really like it.

They are definitely for real. . . I didn't make them up in photoshop! From Blue Note France, available from Dusty Groove et al.

EXACTLY

I'll never forget a response I got back from an old college buddy of mine (now a music professor at Yale) when I sent a tape of these Silver Trio sides to him. He called me up very excited and said "Horace Silver had a left hand from HELL!" I have to agree. the stuff he does with the left hand, especially the rumbling thing he gets going, knocks me out.

I dig him. His sound may be difficult to capture. I have some recordings where he sounds awful, like a bunch of snapping rubber bands. And some where the deep wooden tone is just real and riveting. I've never heard him live. . . .

Look into the Flower. . . .

Grant Green never looked THIS good. . . .

The one that started the thread at Blue Note I believe. . . .Comes with extra forehead buttons too!

I've got two extra. But no one is going to remove one or sew one on!

At least 2. Some have extra. Mingus did. Me too.

I contemplated that image and this is what came up: I'm just a media chile. . . .

Christmas Vacation for me. Humor that cuts to the bone for WASP world denizens. . . .

Are we sure that these people really were from the site they claim to be from? COULD they be imposters who are just jealous of the open nature of this forum and the ability we have here to communicate on many levels without problem? Could they be frustrated forum owners of an inferior site who just wish they had the chutzpa to moderate the forum the way this one is? I smell a deception, a conspiracy, an international cabal of uptight bulletin board administrators. . . possibly even tomatbluenote! Could tomatbluenote be Mnytime and behind a passel of problems we're having? :rsmile: B)

Ghetto Music is available for preorder from cduniverse. . . no sign of Black Rhythm Happenin' . . .but it may be smart to delay that one due to the French reissue.

Thanks Hans! Not realizing I was a moderator for that forum I didn't investigate that!

I should have bought this when I saw it about eight years ago at Waterloo Records. I thought I had all the stuff on it. . . I was wrong. I might now, not sure. If you find the album, I'll gladly reimburse you postage etc. for the tape!

I'd love to delete some threads myself but don't seem able to. . .

Maybe it's just because I do a lot of cooking, but this is still my favorite of the NOT CLASSIC BLUE NOTE covers of recent years.

You know, reading that about words that are fun to hear the sound of made me think of Al Hibbler singing the name "Azalea." It's fun to hear!

Well, no problem CJ. I'd be interested to hear what you have to say after you've digested the cd. One Miles-loving friend of mine says "Aura is like On The Corner, not really enjoyable or important." Now I personally ENJOY the HECK out of On the Corner, though I can also see a similarity in the fact that both are collaborations (though Miles is far from a "sideman" on On the Corner.)
