CJ Shearn Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 I used to have one of these sets as a kid on the Kory records label, Bags Groove was on one side. Anyway, I saw this "Best of More Jam Sessions and the Jimmy Smith Jazz Set" Volume 2 at Amazon and it piqued my curiosity since I just d/l a killer JOS jam from Germany in '72. Is this Newport '72 CD worth getting at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Go for it. It ain't world-changing, but it sure don't suck either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Shearn Posted September 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 thanks Jim. The JOS live boot I found of the same band except for BB and Zoot, his solo on "Walkin'" made my jaw drop. first time my jaw has dropped listening to JOS since "Legacy". I gotta get some more CD-R's so I can burn the Germany set........ A+ sound too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMP Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 There's a terrific Charles Mingus solo in there somewhere which is worth having. I was actually in the audience for that - George Wein came out and hugged Mingus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
