This is the Sonny Rollins how he sounded when I heard him first in the late 70´s. Sonny at his top. I heard him with Al Foster, but here it´s Tony Williams, just incredible the great drummers Sonny always had ! This is a great album, the only weaker point is torwards the end when Donald Byrd sit´s in. I mean I was lookin forward to hear Donald Byrd on that sides since he was always a favourite of mine, but here it seems that he was in no playing condition at all and I never heard a weaker trumpet voice, I mean even Ornette sounded better on trumpet......

chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted June 17, 2019 Report Posted June 17, 2019 well look this is famously a vinyl but bceause this my favorite thread im positing in it so i found this well known lp on *early cd* mfg by Disctronics. $2 at goodwill. yea didnt know this label did cds.....its like the record with no background noise, fantastic- we like les brown right, is this les brown and his band of reknown, or was that later. the singer is pleasnt, im very particular with that. so we like this right? the only people in the band i recknoize are Dave Pell & abe are listed in sax section and thats it just those two i know, but this is west coast jazz, right??? I seem to remember this is west coast jazz it is?????? whoa the singr has her own Trend 10" lp, shes legit Quote
JSngry Posted June 17, 2019 Report Posted June 17, 2019 Dude, not just Trend-legit, but MODE-legit as well! Quote

But it bugged me how "Autumn Nocturne" and, especially, "Silver City" we so much more in the zone than anything else on the record. I gotta wonder what's in the can, if anything, that reached the level of those two cuts. Quote

If anything else recorded reached that level, why include the dross? Edited June 17, 2019 by erwbol Quote
JSngry Posted June 17, 2019 Report Posted June 17, 2019 You got three nights of recording to fill up four sides of an LP with no redundancy of material and a desire/need to present enough originals to make the nut with composer royalties and shit. That does not necessarily mean including the best performances from the entire engagement, it just means assembling product, with multiple criteria of inclusion. Now, somebody tell me what drove the inclusion of all that stuff with Donald Byrd, whose idea was that? One whole LP + one cut on another. What got left out so that could go in? There might be something like an amazing "My One And Only Love" or something like that that just wasn't a fit for the product. Or 2-3 more takes of Silver City that got to that zone and they had to pick just one (or maybe what we got is a composite?). Just saying, the record is product, the music, not so much. And maybe nothing else reached the heights of those two. But I'd like to have a chance to find out! Quote
erwbol Posted June 17, 2019 Report Posted June 17, 2019 (edited) Perhaps. If there are hidden post 60s gems, they are not from the studio sessions. That's for sure. Edited June 17, 2019 by erwbol Quote
