Clunky Posted December 5, 2023 Report Share Posted December 5, 2023 (edited) Ernst Raijseger & Alan "Gunga" Purves---------Cellotape & Scotchtape-------(Data) 1981 Beautiful duet. I was lucky enough to catch Gunga guest recently with Playtime quartet. He was born here in Edinburgh but seems to have spent most of his career in Amsterdam. His style is very reminiscent of Han Bennink. Edited December 5, 2023 by Clunky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This looks good. I'll track it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the vinyl as well but I find myself playing the CD a lot more frequently. It sounds wonderful on CD and the bonus tracks are fun.

Kevin Bresnahan Posted December 5, 2023 Report Share Posted December 5, 2023 (edited) Richard "Groove" Holmes - Get Up & Get It! (Prestige). I wanted to like this date more than I did. This is my second time playing it & my opinion hasn't changed much. It has a killer band with Groove, Pat Martino, Teddy Edwards, Paul Chambers & Billy Higgins but they don't always sound like they're on the same page. There are some good things on here. The blues on side 2, Groove's Blues Groove (B2) is nice. The title track has it's moments as does Broadway, but I am really not a fan of their cover of Pennies From Heaven (B3) and from Teddy's solo effort here, it sounds like he wasn't either. It also has some weird multiplexed organ stuff during Groove's solo that sounds awful. It's like Van Gelder split the feed and delayed one channel versus the other but reduced the delay as Groove kept going. And Groove hits this sustain note during the out chorus that makes me think he's just fucking with my dog. The other tune that just didn't sound great was Teddy's original (A2) Lee-Ann. I didn't find it to be a good attempt at a bossa tune & Groove's organ effects (Van Gelder's?) really don't fit the tune. So I guess it's just 2 out of 6 tunes that I wasn't digging.

Re Al Viola like his playing very much. A quite underrated and not too well known guitarist from the west coast. Many years ago we had Ralph Towner for a solo concert in your club in Germany. 19 minutes ago, bresna said: Richard "Groove" Holmes - Get Up & Get It! (Prestige).

After your critic I have to play it again. Cant remember those 'weak' spots you did mention.

Yes, it's about a quarter of the price of buying the UK versions. Unfortunately the US version side 4 is pressed off centre which leads to a little distortion. This will do until I can afford a UK upgrade. Great music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
