Tom Harrell - Play Of Light (Blackhawk). Not really digging this one much, especially the guitarist, Poor Eddie Gomez's bass sounds terrible.

It was badly recorded, but the music was good, or better than good.  That was a long time ago, I think 1981...

May be it was just bad luck but I've had this session on an Atlantic original and original UK LP issue , both were dire sounding. The recent  'Japanese ' Euro version on CD sounded just so much better.

Bud Shank------plays music from today's movies--------( World Pacific/Liberty)

 

Enjoyable lounge music with some attempt at soloing by Bud on most tracks. Easy listening alright but quite nice in own way. Sounds very dated in good way. Bud produced some decent music in the 60s on various albums such as this Wind mills of your mind,  Michelle etc. I doubt I'd need them all but worth keeping.

Swings like the clappers, though audience chatter intrusive in places.

"Swings like a bag of shit", as my old man used to say.

Your old man had a nice turn of phrase! 

 

Looks like I'm a bit dated. Mind you, it's what we used to say about good jazz c.1960:

I've got a US Atlantic mono original - don't recall it being that bad but will dig it out today and check. Those '3000 Yen' CDs are the dog's boll*x..

Tony Williams morning ...

Spring -----(BN NYC mono)

Lifetime -----(BN NYC mono)

 

I'd forgotten just how good these two are. Both a right at the top of Blue Note's more avantgard offerings. In his later years I always find TW to be a bit heavy handed with the finesse shown here fading from his playing . 

[jazzbo]

I agree, these are among the best Blue Notes, something else!
