Another aspect is the name of the new album: Mondo Grosso. Besides the cover being reminiscent of a Wayne Shorter album, the title is reminiscent of another:

eMusic sometimes puts an artist's music under inconsistant names. For example, are you looking for "Cityscape"? Look here: David Newman They've filed it under David Newman, not David Fathead Newman. When in doubt, do a search under the album's title.

I know; me too. Even though Henderson's not one of my favorites, I figured this is a good way to expose myself to his oeuvre. I ordered this on Amazon from Village Music World.

This month's downloads: Leroy Vinnegar - Leroy Walks Again VSOP label: The Frank Rosolino Quintet The Richie Kamuca Quartet Marty Paich Trio Conte Candoli 4 Herbie Harper Sextet Oscar Moore Quartet Dempsey Wright - The Wright Approach Jimmy Rowles - Our Delight Clora Bryant - Gal With A Horn Thanks to board members for your great suggestions along the way, such as in this thread.

Jim, that was a great description of Sonny's current playing style. I saw him around 5 yrs ago, and it was amazing to see the effect his "series of declarations" had on the audience. It was mesmerizing - he was like a snake charmer, and had the entire middle-class and older audience on its feet, cheering and shouting, going crazy, to what he was playing. The closest I can compare it to is what a JATP concert must have been like.

Yeah, I was enticed... I ordered the HRS Sessions, the Cohn-Newman-Green, and the Dizzy Reese. Will have to wait for the next sale for the Chu Berry and the Johnny Smith.

What was the original album? Dunno, was it on Savoy? The answer can be found here!

This was mentioned in another post: Donald Byrd Sextet - Complete Recordings Does anyone know where this was originally issued?

What was the original album?

Good point! Man, those were some seriously mundane covers, weren't they? But, hey, some of the photos weren't half bad... Yeah, why was the black on those black-and-white photos always more of a pasty gray? And don't get me started on the script font...

This seems a good opportunity to post again the following site: Live Trane - The Real Tracklist

As per the Webmaster, it is indeed the same version of Where Are You.

For example, this: John Coltrane - The Complete Copenhagen Concert 1963 Has this been issued before, whether legit or not?

With all the Gambit releases appearing on eMusic, I'm tempted to revive this thread, if only to trace where the various releases stem from.

That was pretty good. Addresses my comment in another thread about Blonde on Blonde doesn't do it for me because of the drumming/rhythmic thrust. This version gets it right-er.

Three more postings: Where Are You (Length: 16:17 Cost $1.99) Four (Length: 22:38 Cost $1.99) Now's The Time (Length: 11:52 Cost $1.99) Four seems to be a different version than what was posted previously (previous length = 15:57), and Now's The Time was not previously posted. I don't know about Where Are You, as the timing is identical. I'll contact the website to clarify.

Now on eMusic: 100 Days 100 Nights Plus an interview: Sharon Jones Interview Looks interesting; I might download once my points renew.

Oscar Peterson? Uh oh...better cover your ears! Anyway, welcome to the board. May you bring some Canadian civility to the proceedings here. And by the way, the board software allows you to ignore all posts from a poster...I think you can do that from "My Controls."

George, here's hoping for a speedy recovery, and that you resume playing with renewed vigor and fire, and well as your usual taste and harmonic sophistication.

Thanks for posting that. Fascinating article; while the writer did some research, it obviously helps that he had access to the original session reels. I've always thought that the material on Blonde on Blonde suffered from being recorded in Nashville; specifically, the drummer didn't contribute the drive and push (that rocking blues feel) that you hear on BIABH and Highway 61.

Saw an interesting article in Maximum PC, where they performed a blind listening test comparing 128 to 256, using both the Apple earbuds and $400 headphones. The quality of the headphones mattered far more than the encoding rate.

Is this material currently available?

If you can find it, this is a very good summary of his CTI work: The Best of Paul Desmond Because it also draws from his sideman work, the album goes through a lot of different styles, and it flows very nicely.

I grabbed this one this month as well... figured I only spent about $1.50 on it in total. I knew what I was getting into, but damn... So NOT worth the $1.50. There are a couple of decent moments (and I do mean only a couple) that almost make this album worthwhile... not something I can see myself listening to more than once or twice. I love Grant, but this one is strikkly shite! Cheers, Shane You are correct. I heard "Nighttime In The Switching Yard" today. So wan, so pale...not much happening there. Sounds like he was going through a bout of George Benson envy at the time. Our loss.

Anyone heard "This Meets That" yet?
