cool_blue Posted September 30, 2004 Report Posted September 30, 2004 (edited) Hiya folks. Would like to thank Wolff for the invitation over. Look forward to hanging out. Coltrane question: Is 'Live at Birdland" the best/only choice for "Alabama" on Lp ? CB Edited September 30, 2004 by cool_blue Quote

Rooster_Ties Posted September 30, 2004 Report Posted September 30, 2004 Don't know the answer to your question, but let me be the first to say... Welcome!! If you get the chance, please introduce yourself (here in this thread would be fine), and tell us a bit about yourself. Cheers!! Quote
wolff Posted September 30, 2004 Report Posted September 30, 2004 (edited) Yes, Welcome!! Hope you enjoy your time here as much as I do. Edited September 30, 2004 by wolff Quote
medjuck Posted September 30, 2004 Report Posted September 30, 2004 Yes http://home.att.net/~dawild/Coltrane_faqs....idged%20Alabama Mike OK but having read that explanation does that mean that there are 3 unreleased comnplete takes that contain the theme and solos? Quote
cool_blue Posted September 30, 2004 Author Report Posted September 30, 2004 (edited) Hello ladies & gentleman, I am a jazz/music lover. Some of favorites include Trane, Niehaus, Counce, Pell, Rumsey, Sonny Clark, Mingus, Billie. Jay Thomas and just about anything that swings. I have Conrad Johnson tubes and VPI table and try and listen to a Lp a day. Look forward to visiting! Blue Edited September 30, 2004 by cool_blue Quote
BeBop Posted September 30, 2004 Report Posted September 30, 2004 Jazz, tubes and vinyl (and conrad-johnson) are always welcome 'round here! I'm enjoying my last day in the States with my PV2-Ar, MV75A, Sota Star Sapphire, three boxes of Franklin Mint recordings (Saxophone Stylists, Cool Jazz, Ellington) and a tall heap of individual LPs. This will have to hold me until April. Anyway, WELCOME! Quote

Michael Fitzgerald Posted October 1, 2004 Report Posted October 1, 2004 Don't know if the first three takes of Alabama were complete or incomplete. Bruyninckx (& Lord) only shows take 4/5 and take 5 (as does Wild's online version). I'll check Fujioka when I get home, but it could well be the same as the rest. Mike Quote
Michael Fitzgerald Posted October 2, 2004 Report Posted October 2, 2004 Fujioka p. 239 lists Alabama in "six" takes - #1-5 then the 4 + 5 splice. Only the last three have timings: #4 = 2:40; #5 = 2:23; #4+5 = 5:05. No indication of whether any of the earlier takes were complete or incomplete; they are simply marked as unissued. Mike Quote
