Guy Berger Posted January 22, 2005 Report Posted January 22, 2005 I've heard two versions of this (the officially released one, on Standards Vol. 1, and a 2003 bootleg) and it's a great concept that goes on way too long. Guy Quote
RDK Posted January 22, 2005 Report Posted January 22, 2005 Of the hundreds of tracks recorded by the KJ trio, this one - from Standards One, which I first heard almost 25 years ago - remains my favorite of all their works. Quote
Guy Berger Posted January 22, 2005 Author Report Posted January 22, 2005 I love the gospel flavor on the STANDARDS v.1 (1/80) version, and I used to play it on my radio show pretty often. KJ's idea of treating standards as 'new' and frequently playing unusual versions of them is fine with me (although I'm happy to listen to Teddy Wilson and others do them, too). I love the gospel treatment, it's outstanding. I just think it could have been a few minutes shorter! Guy Quote
GregK Posted February 16, 2005 Report Posted February 16, 2005 I think this is one of the highlights of their studio output, partly because of the length!! I never want it to end! Quote
jazzbo Posted February 16, 2005 Report Posted February 16, 2005 I used to practice my drums to this back when it first came out (I was still drumming then). It's a favorite. Going to have to dig it out and listen. Quote
