brownie Posted October 1, 2006 Report Posted October 1, 2006 there is ORGAN on midnight walk title track-- it is NOT listed!!! i am sure of it~! Can't hear an organ on that 'Midnight Walk' title track. It's piano to my ears! Quote
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted October 1, 2006 Report Posted October 1, 2006 mabye your right i dont jnoiw but i swear i hear sometghing. i have to listen more!!!! Quote
Daniel A Posted October 1, 2006 Report Posted October 1, 2006 There's organ om my CD (Collectables) copy, though far down in the mix. Listen behind the piano solo. Quote
brownie Posted October 1, 2006 Report Posted October 1, 2006 My ears are willing but I cannot hear organ on that track! I'm listening to the Atlantic vinyl stereo original Did Collectable use a different mix? Quote
Daniel A Posted October 1, 2006 Report Posted October 1, 2006 (edited) Maybe the track titles are mixed up on the Collectables reissue? 'Midnight Walk' is the first track of the album (3:22). The organ is in the left channel (the same channel as the piano) and plays a rhythmic figure in "unison" with the drums throughout. Edited October 2, 2006 by Daniel A Quote
brownie Posted October 2, 2006 Report Posted October 2, 2006 Gave that 'Midnigtht Walk' another try! This time thru headphones. Still no sound of an organ. The vinyl track's length is listed as 3m30! Quote
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted October 2, 2006 Report Posted October 2, 2006 try listeniung right at the very very begining of the head-- before the horns kick in. thats where i first noticed it. try listening to just that part over and over, and report back well i gotta listen it today and i like it a lot. a really unusual date for hank 1) tune wise, and 2) personel wise the 1st track is by ARIF MARDIN: it is a funky tune and way too short, could of been 8 min. Pisses me off though arif didnt arrange more stuff for hank to play, eg. on more atlantic lps-- what if hank took a solo on an aretha lp: cool beans! 2nd track: is OUT OF CONTROL. the e.p. (wurly?) is used for the bass and it sounds really cool. VERY UNUSAL SONG. probably one of the most unusal songs ive ever heard DOLLAR BRANDS piano solo next up, reminds me of keith emerson a whole lot, check out his piano solo on the live 1974 lp if you dont believe me NEXT UP THE HANK TUNE! HM ON FM. oh hell yeah. elvin let HANK write the hard bop cooker on the cd. it is a modal song if i rememeber from this afternoon but hank very very very very barely tries to copy trane in his solo, i think like ONE little tiny phrase was SLIGHTLY tranish but hank was doin his own thing far and away. when i was listening to it i was thinking how so many people have ripped tranes style off but NO ONE could ever play bebop like hank. he is the best by far i dont care what anyone says, i dont care NEXT UP ARE SOME THAD JONES TUNES. BY THIS POINT IN MY BIKE RIDE I ALREADY WAS AT TRADER JOES SO I DONT REALLY RECALL THESE TUNES CAUSE I WASNT JUST RIDING AND LISTENING AT THIS POINT I WAS IN THE STORE PICKING OUT FOOD AND JUICE LAST UP IS APPARENTLY SOME CRAZY "HEAD"-LESS TUNE ALL COLLECTIVE IMPORV OR SOMETHIN LIKE THAT, "WRITTEN" BY ELVIN-- HAVE TO GO BACK AND RE LISTEN I CANT REMEMBER IT FROM THIS AFTERNOON- BY THIS POINT IN THE CD I WAS STILL AT TRADER JOES BUT I JUST SAW A HOT CHICK AND SHE WAS A RAVING BEAUTY AND I COULD OF BEEN LISTENING TO EMERSON, LAKE AND MOBLEY AND IT WOULDN'T OF EVEN PHASED ME AT THAT POINT I WAS SO PRE-OCCUPIED....

Parkertown Posted October 2, 2006 Report Posted October 2, 2006 Did you have to "instantly fuck the shit out of her"? Quote
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted October 2, 2006 Report Posted October 2, 2006 um........no i dont think so, there were some nice muffin samples though..... Quote
Daniel A Posted October 2, 2006 Report Posted October 2, 2006 Hey, Jim! Aren't you the kind of guy who has 'Midnight Walk' on vinyl? If so, could you check if there's any organ on the title track... Quote
JSngry Posted October 2, 2006 Report Posted October 2, 2006 Yes, in fact, I am. Lemme go check... Quote
JSngry Posted October 2, 2006 Report Posted October 2, 2006 I'm also the kind of guy to have it on CD, and there's definitely organ going on all through it there. Lemme pull out the LP... Quote
JSngry Posted October 2, 2006 Report Posted October 2, 2006 Yah, thar be ye olde organ on the LP as well. Quote
Daniel A Posted October 2, 2006 Report Posted October 2, 2006 Thanks for checking! Not that I even particularly like the organ playing on that track... Quote
JSngry Posted October 2, 2006 Report Posted October 2, 2006 (edited) Certainly not an integral part of the performance. Might well have been overdubbed to give it perceived airplay appeal. Or it might have been that Stephen James cat. Edited October 2, 2006 by JSngry Quote
