JSngry Posted November 20, 2012 Report Posted November 20, 2012 That one tends to get overlooked, I think...it sounds like a lot of chops-flashing, and it is, but there's idea-flashing in at least equal measure...sometimes it strikes me as the WR eqiuivalent of Bird & Dizzy's 1947 Carnegie Hall version of "Dizzy Atmosphere", it's virtuoso playing and thinking...and the way that Zawinul captures the Ellington brass's thing on "Rockin' In Rhythm", that thing that they got into behind Paul on DACIB about midway through the 60s, the way Zawinul captures that and feeds it back in his own voice, man, that's just pure LOL joy! I probably like the whole of Weather Report only slightly less now than I did then, but the stuff I still really like, I REALLY like. They were right! Quote
colinmce Posted November 21, 2012 Report Posted November 21, 2012 first listen to a new arrival. Track 'Donna Lee' has the most abrupt fade, make that cut off (sounds like the band fell off a cliff) I've heard in a long while. Enjoying Pete Warren's contributions Love this one. One of the best album covers in my collection, to boot. Quote
jeffcrom Posted November 21, 2012 Report Posted November 21, 2012 first listen to a new arrival. Track 'Donna Lee' has the most abrupt fade, make that cut off (sounds like the band fell off a cliff) I've heard in a long while. Enjoying Pete Warren's contributions I've always liked that album, warts and all. My old pal Michael J. Smith understands Braxton's compositions so well. "Donna Lee" and "You Go to My Head" are a different story.... Michael never really was a Jazz musician with a capital "J." Quote
jeffcrom Posted November 21, 2012 Report Posted November 21, 2012 Steve Lacy - Eronel (Horo) When I did a Google image search (using the keywords steve lacy eronel horo) to find a picture of the cover, the first picture that came up was from my blog - a scan of a photocopy I made around 1979 or 1980: the Horo ad/catalog from Jazz Journal International.

colinmce Posted November 21, 2012 Report Posted November 21, 2012 Wow, all in one go. I wish more labels did that. I wonder if someone went for that back in day. Definitely a good investment! Quote
jeffcrom Posted November 21, 2012 Report Posted November 21, 2012 Wow, all in one go. I wish more labels did that. I wonder if someone went for that back in day. Definitely a good investment! I feel fortunate to have as many Horo LPs as I do - but it kind of hurts to think that I could have gotten the whole lot for less than $500. Of course, at the time many of my meals consisted of a packet of ramen noodles (18 cents) with a can of mixed vegetables (40 cents) poured on top. Quote
JSngry Posted November 21, 2012 Report Posted November 21, 2012 That was back when $500.00 was a whole lot of money for a whole lot of people! Quote

I've still got that particular issue of the mag and remember seeing the Horo advert and wondering who would be crazy enough to order the lot. I guess whoever did was now glad that they did !

clifford_thornton Posted November 21, 2012 Report Posted November 21, 2012 That "one fell swoop" Horo catalog is pretty cool. I would consider doing such a thing in today's dollars, although not every Horo would be my cup of tea and often the pressings are turd-like. Wish I had Lacy's Eronel! Quote
BillF Posted November 21, 2012 Report Posted November 21, 2012 Phil Woods - Heaven (Black-Hawk) Nice album! Quote
