mjazzg Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 Amina Claudine Myers - Poems for Piano (The Piano Music of Marion Brown) [sweet Earth Records] one of my favourite musicians interprets another favourite and it certainly doesn't disappoint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeway Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 Another LP plucked from the bargain bin. Orange label deep groove. What's the source of this material. or, at least, of the Scott? There is no information on the LP jacket but Discogs states: "Recorded at Reeves Sound Studios, New York City; October 29, November 23 and 30, 1956." Don't know their source. That's all I got. Maybe someone else has more. The liner note says the session was the idea of bassist Trigger Alpert and lists Dick Hyman, Marty Paich and Tony Scott as arrangers. On my LP, the arrangers as you give Bill are listed but nothing about the sessions being the idea of Trigger Alpert (although I read somewhere that they were). Do you have perhaps a UK version (was there such?). Mine is Jazzland JLP-11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was awesome at the Winterjazzfest three weeks ago.The Genius of Art Tatum No. 10 (Verve trumpet label), and Barney Kessel, Some Like It Hot (Contemporary stereo).

Anyway, thanks for clearing up the origins of the material. I've never heard that one, didn't even realize Scott was on it. Have only known of Alpert through the Glenn Miller AAF band.

Don't have any vinyl though, when did this one come from? Not relevant, but are he and Nicole Mitchell still married? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homefromtheforest Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Donald Byrd "electric Byrd" (blue note, liberty). Today's find; a pristine copy...mint vinyl and perfect cover - like new. Sounds pretty amazing..my first "late" period Byrd record and it's definitely in the early 70s Miles mode but considerably more "spacier"(apologies for this term haha).

Don't have any vinyl though, when did this one come from? Not relevant, but are he and Nicole Mitchell still married? Boykin came to the last Vision Festival (so did Nicole Mitchell for that matter, they played in "Sonic Projections" together) and brought a couple of copies of this LP with him, so picked it up. Was new to me too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmce Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 I need to pick that one up. I have some of his CD-RS, which are distinctive. Love his playing on Abrams' Unknown Known. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Haven't heard Boykin in years. Need to seek out some more of his stuff. Now: Pygmy Unit - Signals from Earth - (self-released US LP) Bay Area free improvisation featuring Jim Pepper and Darrell De Vore, pretty neat.

Picked up some CDs with him on them, posted those over in the listening thread. I like one in particular with Mal Waldron. I have a few LPs as well. Anthony Braxton - B-X0 NO-47A - Actuel 15 - 1969 Cheesy BYG reissue, but serves its purpose. Braxton in Pre-Cardigan era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeway Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 (edited) Among the long list of musicians participating in the recording, I find Seldon Powell, which really surprised me. Maybe it shouldn't? Just seemed odd to find him with the Braxton and Roscoe Mitchell crowd. Edited February 1, 2015 by Leeway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, as ubiquitous as it is, "Witchi-Tai-To" is an amazing piece of music. Now, perhaps coincidentally as I was going through some ethnographic recordings today as well, Music of the Sioux and the Navajo - (Ethnic Folkways Library) Songs of the Pawnee and Northern Ute - (Library of Congress) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it shouldn't? Just seemed odd to find him with the Braxton and Roscoe Mitchell crowd. Depends on who contracted the date. On the matter of skills, though, not surprising. That's some hardass music and it wasn't a working band. Financial realities would dictate that you have a few flyshit readers in there to keep the time needed thing between the lines. Look who else is in there - the Bridgewater brothers, Bruce Johnstone, and Jon Faddis. They weren't their to contribute their "unique personal stylings", ya' know? They were there to read the parts and keep the session moving. Time is money, as they say, and at least as much in the studio as anywhere. EVERYBODY gets OT if OT happens, unless its a scab date.
