Catalonian Fire

[Hardbopjazz]

There is a record shop by my home. I normally don't hunt anymore for LP's, but I saw this one that perked my curiosity. And for 3.99 why not grab it.

Anyone familiar with this session?

I think it's terrific! Another trio outing also recorded in May '74 worth getting is TETE!

These two albums and perhaps TOOTIE'S TEMPO (also on Steeplechase) represent his best trio recordings, IMO.

One caveat: Lots of Steeplechase recordings back in the '70s were licensed to a U.S. label, Inner City. The IC pressings are nowhere near the quality of the Danish Steeplechase editions. But for $3.99, it's worth getting particularly if you still put records on the turntable often enough.

A beautiful session. And at that price, it's a gift from Catalonia!

Martin:

Do you happen to have the Inner City issue of "Catalonian Fire"? I still need release date for this US edition.

Thanks in advance!

Thankfully, I only have the Steeplechase editions. Sorry I can't help.
