Gheorghe Posted July 18, 2019 Report Posted July 18, 2019 I saw Joe Farrell once in 1983 in a quartet with Joanne Brackeen on piano. Great evening. Even if Chet Baker was scheduled to Play with Joe Farrell but as on so many occasions was not able to make the gig. Quote

Really nice with Bill Hardman and Johnny Griffin, and the way how they played stuff like "I could have danced all that night" , otherwise rarely played by jazzmusicians…... 6 hours ago, Gheorghe said: I think this one was my first LP of the Messengers.

Very fond of this version of the Messengers Quote

Gheorghe Posted July 19, 2019 Report Posted July 19, 2019 I thought it is Charlie Haden painted. I remember this Album, it was around in the late 70´s. The only strange Thing in this combination is Hampton Hawes, he doesn´t necessarly fit into that Group of free jazz pioneers. But the idea to Play Duos with his former emplyoees was very interesting. Wasn´t "Soapsuds" also a Ornette - Haden duo ? I don´t have it. I don´t know who Billy Jean King and Bobby Riggs are. Quote

Her daughter's recent album is pretty good. She sounds a lot like Flora on a few cuts, too. Quote
mikeweil Posted July 22, 2019 Report Posted July 22, 2019 (edited) Original Jazz Classics LP reissue - flawless pressing. Japanese LP reissue. Newborn is a monster pianist on these! Each time I listen to a Contemporary label LP I can't help but think how much better, more natural they sound like all the Rudy Van Gelder recordings. Zutty Singleton rocks on side one of this LP!

Gheorghe Posted July 25, 2019 Report Posted July 25, 2019 @HutchFan: I also like Disk 1 more than Disk 2. Mostly because the sittin in of Donald Byrd is a painful experience, since Donald Byrd had lost all his chops, he even sounds worse than Miles after is 5 or 6 years Hiatus when he first tried to pick up the trumpet again…... But Sonny and the Group with Tony Williams is superb. One of my favourite versions of "Don´t stop the carneval" Quote

But those first three cuts: "Don't Stop the Carnival" and "Silver City" and "Autumn Nocturne." Yowza! Quote
