Not sure if they ever ended up on CD (too lazy to look). Isolation is great. Tenor, bass clarinet, and corn-pipe I believe. The passage with him overblowing on that instrument is nuts!

Too lazy to confirm myself but I think the only Moers LPs that made it to CD are the two John Carters, Odean Pope - Almost Like Me, Sunny Murray Trio, MRE - No Wave, RSJ - Street Priest, and the Phalanx album. By the time they transitioned new releases to CD they weren't putting much out that was very interesting but there is a great Gunter Christmann album on there from 1995 that is the first true example of his mature conception (a la Explico).

clifford_thornton Posted April 10, 2023 Report Share Posted April 10, 2023 got it. Yeah, the Murray has quite a bit of extra material, I think -- have the full concert somewhere in addition to the LP release. I don't have the Christmann, but should get it.

Teasing the Korean Posted April 10, 2023 Report Share Posted April 10, 2023 Coleman Hawkins - Reevaluation: The impulse! Years. This is an absolutely flawless pressing from the 1980s. The vinyl is dead quiet, the highs are smooth and rounded, and there is no distortion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the same thing on an 80s pressing of Hawk's impulse! bossa record. Green label? It was so quiet that it scared me out of playing it again. Transferred it to cassette right then and there!

I think I saw Cedar Walton in trio in the earlier 2000´s in Viena, but I´m sure it was not Billy Higgins on drums. I don´t remember who were on bass and drums. It was great, really great, though I would have liked to hear it with a great tenor player too, like all those records with Cliff Jordan or later tenorists who followed....

Last time I saw Cedar, in 1999, he still had Higgins on drums plus David Williams on bass. Sadly, I think Higgins was already not in the best of health so likely would be unfit for foreign tour in the 2000s. Back in the late 70s and early 80s, it was almost as if his second home was Ronnie Scott’s, with Cedar Walton and George Coleman. 41 minutes ago, HutchFan said: Carter Jefferson - The Rise of Atlantis (Timeless, 1979) Music on Vinyl reissue Two recent additions to my collection.

Have now capitulated with an order (‘Dance With Death’) so hopefully will post some thoughts and compare with the King edition over the next few days. Some great Tone Poet issues coming up. ‘Slow Drag’, ‘Blue Spirits’. ‘Slow Drag’ will be an automatic buy.

Gheorghe Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 I have it saved on USB to listen in the car and so I did 2 days ago when I drove to go fishing. I still remember how enthusiastic we young jazz buddies were when it came out. Those Spotlite LPs were treasures for people who wanted to hear Bop and Bird and so on. This and the Billy Eckstine record were favourites. Howard McGhee proves that he is just a fantastic trumpet player. He is in top form here and I think he was underrated, in comparation to Diz and Fats and Miles. For me he is one of the best bop trumpet players. And I love Brew Moore. You see how he plays his Prez thing, he could keep it weather he played with bop stars like Bird or Miles or Howard or Bud, and in that afro cubop surroundings. The Tracks "Cubop City" and "Tanga" are really fun. Just fine that chants and that rhythm, and it´s fun to hear how strange them their trumpet players and alto players sound completly different to what we jazzers are used to. And that bad tuned piano.... And Bird is on three tunes, maybe not the best Bird, but fine that he did it. "Reminiscing at Twilight" is just wonderful. WHO ROTE IT ? And are there other band that played it, does it also have lyrics ? How much would I like to play that live on an occasion, just between faster numbers......
