Enterprise Server Posted March 1, 2009 Report Posted March 1, 2009 The Complete Pacific Jazz Recordings of Gerald Wilson and His Orchestra ... Lotta nice music on these discs. Quote
tranemonk Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 Pendulum Select Disc 1... not sure what to expect but kinda hard to turn down a live village vanguard set!~!! Quote
tranemonk Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 Initial thought.... :( I have never liked Al Foster as a drummer... (Doesn't do anything for me... - and he thinks he's great.... :o ) We'll see how the rest of the set proceeds.... :mellow: Pendulum Select Disc 1... not sure what to expect but kinda hard to turn down a live village vanguard set!~!!

I sure like his solo on Footptrints. Quote
jazzbo Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 Al Foster was an incredible groove / funk drummer. Jazz. . . he has his moments! Quote
tranemonk Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 A couple of years ago when I saw him with McCoy Tyner... he was extremely unimpressive... Grinned the whole time as he was thinking he was awesome... His solos were quite underwhelming.... Now that cat I just saw McCoy with this weekend (Eric Gravatt) is a very nice drummer... great cymbal work.... Al Foster was an incredible groove / funk drummer. Jazz. . . he has his moments! Quote
tranemonk Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 Pendulum Disc 2... Starting off a little better than Disc 1.. IMHO Quote

Yes Eric Gravatt. . . excellent drummer. You may be mistaking Foster's grin. . . performers developing habits, and masks, to display on stage. Better to be grinning than grimacing, or totally blank. . . . Quote

tranemonk Posted March 8, 2009 Report Posted March 8, 2009 (edited) John Handy Select Discs 1 and 2... I'm finding it a tad (not much)... disappointing.... You know what it is... I was so blown away by the Zeitlin Select I listened to a few days ago... (and this Billie Holliday set I'm listening to in the car).... that everything else is just not really working for me..... now Disc 3.... For some reason... I really like the live sessions a lot more than the studio sessions.... :huh: Edited March 8, 2009 by tranemonk Quote
tranemonk Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 Onto something very different... Johnny Smith Disc 3.... Oliver Nelson Disc 6 Quote

tranemonk Posted March 14, 2009 Report Posted March 14, 2009 (edited) Buddy Rich Disc 1.. It seems like I'm the only one on the board who bought this and routinely plays it.... :o and onto Disc 2..... Edited March 14, 2009 by tranemonk Quote
jazzbo Posted March 14, 2009 Report Posted March 14, 2009 I've bought this, and have played it about four times through in the last year. I would hesitate to make assumptions based on this thread. I only record about 10% of what I listen to on this and other threads.. . . . Quote
tranemonk Posted March 14, 2009 Report Posted March 14, 2009 I gather that means you like it.... Do tell..... I've bought this, and have played it about four times through in the last year.

I would hesitate to make assumptions based on this thread. I only record about 10% of what I listen to on this and other threads.. . . . I like it. I don't know what to say about music any longer, other than I like it. It's not essential. I can get through my life without it. But it's a really nice group of recordings, in great sound. As an ex-drummer, returning to drumming lately, I perhaps appreciate Rich in ways others might not. He had many ways to swing. Quote
