mrjazzman Posted June 20, 2006 Report Posted June 20, 2006 (edited) HELP, made a cd-r of some woody shaw music(at least I think it's Woody) and forgot to write the title on the cd, looks like there are 10 cuts. On the first cut there is a Flora Purim sounding female who sings the following lyrics to start the song: flying high with our heads up to the sky; this is no fantasy, sky is clear, we cried all our tears, and we saved all our smiles for this moment, time is right for us to take a flight to the land of ecstacy. and it goes on Can someone please tell me the name of this song and which session/LP it is from. Thank you............... Edited June 20, 2006 by mrjazzman Quote
JSngry Posted June 20, 2006 Report Posted June 20, 2006 The song is "Time Is Right", and the singer is Judi Singh. Quote
Eric Posted June 20, 2006 Report Posted June 20, 2006 This is a wonderful record, IMHO. The track you have is not really representative, although somehow it fits with the whole album. Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted June 20, 2006 Report Posted June 20, 2006 Wow, a Woody Shaw date I've never heard of. Has this ever been released on CD?? (Probably not, or I'd know about it.) Quote
jazzbo Posted June 20, 2006 Report Posted June 20, 2006 Yes, it has been released on cd. Several times! Quote
bertrand Posted June 20, 2006 Report Posted June 20, 2006 It was in the Mosaic box, but that's the only CD version I'm aware of. Some of the tracks are very good, some not. Bertrand. Quote
bertrand Posted June 20, 2006 Report Posted June 20, 2006 Oops - three of the eight tracks tracks also appeared on the Rosewood reissue. So far, Rosewood and these three tracks, plus the Stepping Stones CD (with bonus cuts, but missing a track) are the only CD reissues of the Columbia material. So what's left? United Woody III (except for 'Escape Velocity' which is on the Stepping Stones CD) 5 tracks from Time Is Right One deleted track from Stepping Stones This material could fit on a two-CD set. Or, they could reissue United and Woody III as two separate CDs, with some bonus tracks on each (5 from Time Is Right, and one from Stepping Stones). It would have made more sense the keep 'Escape Velocity' on Woody III and leave Stepping Stones intact, but what the fuck do I know. Bertrand. Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted June 20, 2006 Report Posted June 20, 2006 Oh, it's part of the Mosaic. I've got that. Just hadn't ever seen the cover before, and I'm hardly aware of the titles of the specific releases in the set - since I experience the thing as just one big release, if you know what I mean. Can anybody post covers of all the dates in the Mosaic?? I think before today, "Rosewood" was the only cover I'd seen before. Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted June 20, 2006 Report Posted June 20, 2006 Thanks Jim!! Other than Rosewood and Stepping Stones, all those covers were new to me before today. Thankfully I've had the music for ages though -- one of the first Mosaics I ever purchased. Quote
sidewinder Posted June 20, 2006 Report Posted June 20, 2006 (edited) The song is "Time Is Right", and the singer is Judi Singh. I remember seeing Judy Singh in performance at a club in Edmonton, Alberta - part of a lineup that included Julian Priester ! She is/was quite prominent on the Edmonton jazz scene. Wonder how she came to do that record date with Woody? (presumably they teamed up as a result of one of Woody's Western Canada tours). Edited June 20, 2006 by sidewinder Quote
mrjazzman Posted June 21, 2006 Author Report Posted June 21, 2006 Yes, it has been released on cd. Several times! Several times?????????? Quote
mrjazzman Posted June 21, 2006 Author Report Posted June 21, 2006 The knowledge of organissimo board members is amazing, thanks.................. Quote
