robviti Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 Can anyone help me with some details about the recording described below? Most importantly, there reportedly are three different band configurations on this record. I want to know who plays on which tracks. Also, if anyone has the recording dates (AMG says May 14-Jun 15, 1956), location, studio, engineer, etc., that would be great too. Thanks in advance. Jimmy Raney In Three Attitudes Paramount 167 Produced by Creed Taylor Partial list of Personnel: Al Cohn - tenor sax Bob Brookmeyer - trombone Jimmy Raney - guitar Hal Overton - piano Red Mitchell - bass Osie Johnson -drums (I believe the recording also includes Johnny Williams on piano, Whitey Mitchell on bass, and Jack Edie on drums) Tracks: so in love indian summer fanfare last night when we were young on the rocks passport to pimlico strike up the band up in quincy's room Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brownie Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 Gave the LP a listen. While the music is highly recommended, I must say the sound is not very good. Pretty flat with little dynamics. This was also the case of a number of other ABC albums. The Raney album was produced by Creed Taylor. He did not seem to have found the right engineer for some of those sessions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Fitzgerald Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 Bit of trivia: There's an unissued track from the second session - He Was Too Good To Me - that is not mentioned in any discography. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.A.W. Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 Universal's reissue of this album is long overdue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
