.:.impossible Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 This is the first time I've seen the John Handy recording mentioned here. Worth it for their version of Naima alone. This is a beautiful ensemble. I could stand another half-hour of these guys sounding on Naima. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evonce Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 Love this album. For me, it's Hancock who shines the most. You hear him in so many places in the 60s that it's easy to take him for granted sometimes, but there are a couple of solos on Oblique that rocket me back to his incredible reality. I think the sound of the RVG is a definite improvement upon the older CD I used to own, where certain recording flaws were painfully evident. Must be a miracle, as the RVG sounds much cleaner to me.

Guy Berger Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 How does one get to hear this Berkeley concert? Is this the one that is allegedly unreleasable due to sonic problems? It was offered at the website which much not be named a while back. Not sure if it is releasable or not -- some sonic issues, but definitely listenable. Setlist is Gingerbread Boy, Dolores, Stella by Starlight, Round Midnight, Walkin', and So What. Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 1960 Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 (edited) Glad to hear alot of folks singing the praises of Oblique. I received this one in the past week from yourmusic.com for 5.99. I own only 2 other Bobby Hutcherson albums at present on Blue Note and this by far is my favorite.

jazzbo Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 I've discovered I have a mint copy of the Collector's Choice version if anyone would rather have that than an RVG. . . it's on my cd sales list or one can PM me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrdlu Posted February 13, 2022 Report Share Posted February 13, 2022 Ah, here is the old thread about this album. My CD is the 2000 McMaster, and it is good: no need for an upgrade. The cover picture is ugly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shrdlu Posted February 13, 2022 Report Share Posted February 13, 2022 Late, that CD is being "offered" for $77 and up on Discogs. I doubt that the people who charge prices like that will actually sell the CDs. Sometimes, the presence of the OBI adds a lot of dollars to the price. People collecting the albums as museum pieces inside a glass case? Crazy. Anyway, good old Ron got a nice sound on his version. "And with a sharpish needle, it made a cheerful sound." - Flanders and Swann, "A Song Of Reproduction" (ca. 1960, on the album "At The Drop Of A Hat".)

I noticed that Albert Stinson (1944-1969) was only 22 years old when he appeared in Oblique. And he's going to die in two years. A precocious genius.
