sidewinder Posted April 13, 2019 Report Posted April 13, 2019 On deck today - managed to get all of the items on my list, good banter in the queue as a bonus ! Quote
sidewinder Posted April 13, 2019 Report Posted April 13, 2019 (edited) oThe Bill Evans is an absolute corker ! This 1969 Evans performance was recorded by stealth with a microphone in front of the stage and a recorder stowed under the table cloth of one of the front centre tables. Bearing that in mind, the sonics are astonishing and are very atmospheric in capturing the ambience of Bill Evans at Scotts. I am reminded of the 1980 gigs when I caught an evening from either that very table or one very near it and was transported back, even though this is a very different trio. The Wes is not in the highest fi but sounds is very acceptable and it’s a fascinating insight into his home town playing right on the cusp of his wider acclaim. Wes of course is Wes i.e. wonderful. Generous amount of music over the 4 sides too. The organ group on side B particularly nice. Both of the Resonances are recommended. Edited April 13, 2019 by sidewinder Quote
Gheorghe Posted April 14, 2019 Report Posted April 14, 2019 It´s Messenger´s time ! I heard the Messengers live on several times and at least the frontline was the same on both occasions. 1) With Valery Ponomarev, Bobby Watson and James Williams on one occasion 2) With Donald Harrison Terence Blanchard on another later occasion.

Uncle Skid Posted April 15, 2019 Report Posted April 15, 2019 (edited) Von Freeman - Young and Foolish. (John Young, piano) Edited April 15, 2019 by Uncle Skid Quote
Gheorghe Posted April 15, 2019 Report Posted April 15, 2019 My series of spinning those whom I saw life during the years, continues: Here ´s Horace Parlan, on this occasion with great danish bass spieler Jesper Lundgaard and the fantastic Dannie Richmond (together with Al Foster maybe my favourite drummer) . I saw him live about the same time, and it´s interesting here we have a ballad written by swiss bassist Isla Eckinger, and when I saw him, he played with Isla. And the tunes were about the same like on this record. "Duke Ellington´s Sound of Love" was a favourite of Horace Parlan. Quote

Remember buying that one in one of our high street newsagents (big name) for 50p back in the day as a cutout. A whole load of Atlantic, Stax etc. offloaded from the US. Maybe used as trade ship ballast? In any event - good stuff. Quote
