Rooster_Ties Posted August 31, 2021 Report Share Posted August 31, 2021 Full album can be heard on YouTube… Some/many/all(?) of the individual tracks have been uploaded there as well (different YouTube users). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shrdlu Posted September 17, 2021 Report Share Posted September 17, 2021 Vitous is another bassist with fine intonation. I first heard him on Chick Corea's "Now He Sings" album, where he is amazing (and uncredited on the LP, as was Roy Haynes). Joe Zawinul said his intonation was bad, but I never heard him sound bad.

Rooster_Ties Posted October 27, 2022 Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 Here’s another one, very low opening bid required ($6), but $18 shipping from Japan. Who knows what the final price will come to. https://www.ebay.com/itm/364027141917 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I set up an eBay auto-search, that emails me whenever a new particular match is listed — so if happen to notice the next email (in a month, or 3 months, or who-knows-when), I’ll try and post it here.

clifford_thornton Posted March 27 Report Share Posted March 27 I feel like this LP has come down a bit in price and seems to surface more often now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milestones Posted March 27 Report Share Posted March 27 My understanding is that Vitous dropped out of WR due to his supposed inability to play funk. And I imagine he found Zawinul to be a prick at times (maybe lots of times). Anyway, Vitous was much valued by the late Chick Corea, and I think we can safely say that Chick knew and hired outstanding bassists.

This is… a fair assessment of his strengths and weaknesses? He’s great at a lot of things but wasn’t well suited for WR’s post-1972 music. 8 hours ago, Milestones said: And I imagine he found Zawinul to be a prick at times (maybe lots of times). Also a fair assessment (along with “serial bullshitter”) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dub Modal Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 Yeah, seems right up Real Gone Music or Jazz Dispensary's alley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 I'm going with the notion that the money was funny in the first place and nobody wants to open that up today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theories on possibly how so? They were all signed to Columbia at the time in one form or another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 So? Those were individual contracts not relevant to this one session. And when was Billy Cobham signed to Columbia at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not how it works It does (or at least did) sometimes, hence the famous Epic/Atlantic Graham Nash (Hollies to CSN) for Richie Furay (Buffalo Springfield to Poco) negotiated trade of 1969. Maybe jazz was different under Columbia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
