Elmo Hope 'Final Sessions'


Son-of-a-Weizen

Recommended Posts

Downloaded it about an hour ago and have now listened to the first 6 tracks on disc 2. It's very nice music......'Toothsome Threesome' is an excellent bluesy number. Philly Joe seems to get a pretty good workout on some of these tracks. Sound is a bit on the 'brite' side but that's probably due to the fact that I'm listening through the PC rather than the main system.

How is that album?

They just added it to eMusic, and I was thinking of downloading it.

Pretty damn good. Piano's a bit funky, nut Hope's playing is wide open, sounding not at all unlike he's a step or five away from crossing over into early Ceciltaylorland.

If I exaggerate, and perhaps I do, it ain't by much.
