It must have been a big hit when it came out in 1960. Nice record, by Coltrane's shadow. The "Live at the East" was my first LP of him, bought in the 70´s. I saw Pharoah on several occasions. The last time I had the LP with me and thought maybe I let him sign it for me after the concert, and I would tell him that I bought it when I was a teenager, but then I thought he might do autographs and went home with the album unsigned....

Why didn't you ask him? Just played Side 1. Very high quality original Danish pressing. 1970s lightweight vinyl, without a single pop/crackle! Quote

Why I didn´t ask him...... well I heard things that he is not the kind of guy who likes to talk to fans. So I thought he might refuse me or they wouldn´t even let me get inside to "meet him". And at that venue they had a completly separate area for the artists , you wouldn´t meet them at the bar like in other clubs. I got autographs from Art Farmer, from Dave Liebman, from Eddie Lockjaw Davis and from Curtis Fuller. I didn´t ask Woody Shaw for an autograph since I had heard he is nearly blind and thought it would be unpolite to ask him.... All the above mentioned musicians asked me my name and wrote dedications..... really wonderful human beings... Quote

I did plenty of Black Sabbath in my youth 23 minutes ago, jazzbo said: I had no idea that existed. I see from Discogs that there's only two Hill tracks, are they solo? How's the sound on it? Quote
jazzbo Posted January 14, 2022 Report Posted January 14, 2022 (edited) It's a wonky record with a different actual track listing on the record than on the sleeve. More here from Hartman than listed there. Hill's trio backs Johnny and the two Hill numbers without Johnny are trio. It's interesting. . . you can hear the roots of the Blue Note Hill here. . . but he's not playing in that manner overall. Sound is okay. Not great--not bad--mono. Right now Dizzy Gillespie Jam Montreux '77, Pablo LP Bags! He makes the record for me. Edited January 14, 2022 by jazzbo Quote
