Dan Gould Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 I know there's been some discussion about this one, and now the folks in Spain have seen fit to put it out: FRSCD 382 Trumpet Summit - Live At Club Ruby 1968 - A Memorial Tribute To Fats Navarro, Clifford Brown & Booker Little Featuring: Kenny Dorham, Woody Shaw, Bill Hardman, Blue Mitchell, Richard Williams, Walter Kelly So, if you've been wondering what this one is like ...

doubleM Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 Hmmm...very intruiging. I'd never even heard about this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free For All Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 So who's heard it? How good is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted April 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 I need to go back and listen again, its been a while. Its not as exciting as you'd think, but its certainly worth hearing. I'd rate it higher than Night of the Cookers, but that's potentially pretty faint praise indeed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 I've had the old Trip 2-LP set for years, and, yeah, it's a "document" more than anything else. In terms of both playing and recording quality. In other words - don't pay retail! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 Spinned a copy of the album last week and enjoyed it. OK it's not an essential date, just a loose gathering of all these trumpet players. Interesting to concentrate on the similarities and the differences between them! For those who do not know the album, it's Woody Shaw, Walter Kelly and Blue Mitchell on one session and Bill Hardman, Richard Williams and Kenny Dorham on the other session. With Lonnie Smith (on piano), Peck Morrison and Walter Perkins in the rhythm section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertrand Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 This is Lonnie (Liston) Smith, not Dr. Lonnie Smith, correct? Bertrand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 Bertrand, always assumed it was 'Dr' Lonnie Smith on piano because when the Trip twofer came out, Lonnie Liston Smith was quite a big name and I thought that if this had been him on piano the album would carry his full name! Not that sure anymore! Anybody knows better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted April 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 I don't know but I'm certainly inclined to believe its the Good Doctor. Did Liston Smith ever play with guys like KD and Blue Mitchell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKE BBB Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 According to jazzdisco.org discography of Kenny Dorham, it´s Lonnie Liston Smith: Kenny Dorham Sextet Kenny Dorham, Bill Hardman, Richard Williams (tp) Lonnie Liston Smith (p) Peck Morrison (b) Walter Perkins (d) NYC, circa 1965 Confirmation Trip TLX 5036 Sweet Clifford - Blues - * V.A. - A Trumpet Tribute to Fats Navarro, Clifford Brown and Booker Little (Trip TLX 5036) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 Well, Lonnie Liston Smith played with Roland Kirk and with Art Blakey in the mid-sixties! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Fitzgerald Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 Not the Doctor. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted April 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 I stand corrected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertrand Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 I thought not. I knew Liston Smith had played with Kirk, which is why I assumed it was him. I remember the Doctor telling someone (while I was in earshot) that he didn't start out on piano (unlike a lot of other organists). He has of course recorded on piano since. Bertrand.
