Yes, they flipped the two sides of the LP when they remastered this from vinyl :)

The CD actually has the tracks in the following order (ignore what the tray card says):

Effi - Irina - Nocturnal - Patterns - A Time To Go - Ankara - Patterns (alt.)

Effi was Stanley Cowell's wife at the time.  They were high school sweethearts from Cleveland.  She later married the infamous D.C. mayor Marion Barry, and was his wife at the time he was arrested for doing crack (remember the tape?).  She stood by his side during the trial, but split as soon as he received his sentence.

However, she was helping out with his recent campaign for D.C. city councilman (his nth wife left him after more drugs and sex allegations surfaced), but only as a friend, I think (I hope).  He recently pleaded guilty to not paying federal taxes since 1999 (despite many warnings).  He is awaiting his sentence.  He is also very ill, and I don't think he'll be around much longer.

Bertrand.

Good God. That's pretty heavy.

Tom Peron - Interplay. He's a fabulous trumpeter out of the Bay area. I had never heard of him before getting a CD by him in a private collection I purchased. Was blown away by the warmth, clarity, and swing of his playing. His other CD, 'Dedication', is even better. Has a tenor player named Darius Babdazeh, who has the Joe Henderson thing down.

Got this one today and can't believe we overlooked it:

B00008AY68.01._AA240_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg

Two superb rhythm sections: Joe Zawinul/Sam Jones/Louis Hayes or Wynton Kelly/Paul Chambers/Philly Joe Jones, and a beautiful muted rendition of Love Letters ranking among the prettiest trumpet ballads I have heard!

Don't think these have been mentioned:

Henry "Red" Allen: Feeling Good

Clark Terry: In Orbit

Ted Curson: Blue Piccolo

and a few trumpet quartet albums with a saxophone rather than a piano:

Kenny Dorham: 2 Horns/2 Rhythm

Ted Curson Quartet: Urge

Ted Curson: Tears for Dolphy

I realize that Ruby Braff usually played cornet, as does Warren Vache, but here are a few quartet

recordings by them.

Ruby Braff - Live At The Regattabar - Arbors

Ruby Braff-George Barnes - live At The New School - Chiaroscuro

Ruby Braff and Ralph Sutton - R & R - Chiaroscuro

Ruby Braff/George Barnes - Plays Gershwin - Concord

Ruby Braff/George Barnes - Salutes Rodgers and Hart - Concord

Ruby Braff - The Canadian Sessions - Sackville

Warren Vache - Iridessence - Concord

Warren Vache - What Is There To Say? - Nagel-Heyer

Bless you for mentioning both Ruby and Warren. Both are gems and I'm a major fan.

I'm quite surprised no one mentioned the Art Farmer-Jim Hall collaboration (unless I missed it). The best known one is Interactions, and deservedly so. I Love Sweden is also good.

Chet Baker, the Tokyo concerts (1987) is very nice. Also, These Rooms (Jim Hall/Tom Harrell).

I'm sure I'll think of some others. Bedtime for Bonzo just now.

"Also don't forget 'The Ringer' by Tolliver, the studio session which came before the great 'Live at Slugs' albums. It is up to the same standard. 'Grand Max' was the name stuck on the Black Lion CD reissue of 'Live at Loosdrecht', which came out as a 2LP set on Strata-East in the 70's. Reggie Workman is amazing on that. And don't forget Tolliver's 'Compassion', a quartet with Nathan Page on guitar instead of a pianist. 'Empyrean Isles' is also fabulous, as is 'Outpost'. I've never been a big fan of 'Candy'. For the person who didn't knwo which label 'Empyrean Isles' was on, it was Blue Note."

Great info. I know all of this already. But it was just nice to hear someone else take note. I have all the Tolliver quartets. And I love the Freedie Hubbard and Herbie Hancock classic, "Empyrean Isles". I think the cover graphics is outstanding! I really like it.

Man, I would stare at that cover for hours, back in the day. Nice to see so many fans of the Tolliver stuff.

Thanks for mentioning Don Ellis. Essence was reissued by Mighty Quinn - I pulled it from the shelf last week and found it's probaly the most thrilling trumpet quartet album I ever heard!
