I have a couple of his more recent CDs, a Gary McFadden tribute, "Wish Me Well" (2006) & an Ellington tribute, "Ellington Saxophone Encounters" (2012). I bought both mainly because they have Gary Smulyan on them but I have no regrets as there is some great playing by all on these two.

I'm also fond of his Blanton/Webster and Porgy and Bess cds. And "Blue Skylight," his Mingus and Mulligan one, is excellent.

Even I did slow down buying more CD's these might be interesting for me as big band fan and I will have a look for Items with reasonable price. And yes Gary Smulyan is a fine bariton player Thanks for the Info Edited March 21 by jazzcorner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pim Posted March 23 Report Share Posted March 23 amazing record. Sound quality is very good. There are some issues with it in track B but sounds like a tape issue. Great decision to release this concert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasing the Korean Posted March 25 Report Share Posted March 25 @JSngry @Chuck Nessa @HutchFan So here is my Randy Weston Zulu album story. I told the story in another thread about my negative university jazz experience, which made it difficult for me to listen to or enjoy jazz for a few years. After I finished my BA (not in music), I was going through some heavy family stuff, and I decided that I was going to pack up and move to a strange city, make a fresh start, and leave behind any vestiges of my past that I did not want to revisit. I chose a city halfway across the country, where I had a single friend living. He was the only person I knew there. If you've never packed up an moved to a strange place, with no connections and virtually no real reason for being there, it is very liberating, but because you have no familiar reference points, it also forces you to discover who you are and what you want, and it's not always easy. I had packed a box of about 50 or so LPs to bring with me, and I deliberately didn't bring any jazz with me, because I thought I was finished with it. What was funny, was that after being there for only a few days, I suddenly wanted to listen to and play jazz. This snuck up on me from nowhere. So I'm frantically going through my LPs, thinking, "Did you really not pack any jazz records, you idiot?" and lo and behold, I find Randy Weston's Zulu. I have no idea how it got in the box; it must have been accidental. Anyway, I played that album to death for several weeks, as it was my only jazz album. I credit this album - and this whole experience - with reinforcing my love for jazz and getting me back into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
