Brad Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 (edited) This appears to to have come out before Someday My Prince Will Come which had some fantastic musicianship. Has anyone picked this up and have views? Edited February 22, 2005 by Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robviti Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 yes, i believe it was released in the fall of 2003. it's every bit as good as someday my prince will come, provided you like elvin's dynamic style of drumming in this trio. personally, i like it, but i know others who don't.

Bluerein Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 I even like the Japan only "out Takes" cd of these sessions. A bit rough and not in sync at times but still great to hear in such fantastic sound (happen to have these all as Japanese SACD's). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Tapscott Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 I had read some of the mildly negative comments about this CD, and so bought it with a bit of trepidation and lots of curiosity. FWIW, I personally didn't notice anything amiss with this session. I think it's excellent, far better IMHO, than the earlier H. Jones/E. Jones collaboration "Upon Reflection" which was AOTW not too long ago. If there's any sesne of "roughness" on "Autumn Leaves" it's a positive kind of tension which really brings the music alive.

etherbored Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 brad - you definitely need this one and i'd be more than happy to supply a temporary burn until the real thing comes along... also, be on the lookout for their post-elvin release, s'wonderful. the outtakes disc that reiner refers to is titled collaboration. cheers, -e- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazz Kat Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 Great Jazz Trio. Hear them everyday on WBGO live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soul Stream Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 Picked this up in San Fran after listening to "Someday MPWC" by the same line-up all month on my CD player in the car. Love them both.... The Great Jazz Trio stuff is new finds for me and I've been really loving them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolff Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 I have Autumn Leaves on the Japanese Eighty Eight's vinyl and will probably get one of the other GJT titles. I really like all of the Eighty Eight's titles I have. I am looking forward to getting this one. So Alive / The Lonnie Plaxico Group Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alankin Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 (edited) And as an FYI, Test of Time Records (part of 441 Records) has been doing US issues of some of the older Japanese East Wind recordings, starting with the 1977 Village Vanguard recordings with Tony Williams. (And 441 Records did the US issue of Collaboration this Spring.) Edited July 24, 2005 by alankin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Dorward Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 FWIW-- http://www.onefinalnote.com/reviews/g/grea...tumn-leaves.asp I have one of the Inner City releases of the "original" GJ3 & I like it a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Friedman Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 At last count I had 25 CDs by The Great Jazz Trio. The only constant on all of them is that the piano player is Hank Jones. Bass players have included George Mraz, Mads Vinding, Yosuke Inque, Eddie Gomez, Ron Carter, Buster Williams, John Patitucci and Richard Davis. The drummers have been Jimmie Smith, Roy Haynes, Billy Hart, Ben Riley, Jimmy Cobb, Al Foster, Tony Williams, Jack DeJohnette, Buddy Williams, and Elvin Jones.

Ron S Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 29 GJT recordings are listed here: http://www.441records.com/greatjazztriodisco.asp ← Thanks for that link, Alan. On that site, there's a recording of a recent interview of Hank here. Truly amazing, given that he'll turn 87 in 5 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Friedman Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Sorry for sending the quote before I had a chance to comment. I find it very difficult to select just a few favorites by THE GREAT JAZZ TRIO. It is hard to go wrong with almost any of them. Hank Jones is such a marvelous piano player, and the sidemen he uses are with only a few exceptions first rate musicians. Many of these recordings are no longer available. My recommendation would be( if you like Hank Jones) to grab the ones that you are able to find while you have the chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
