John Tapscott Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Joe Henderson - The Milstone Years - thanks to Newbury Comics - can't say I love all the music on this box, but Joe's playing is exceptional throughout, perhaps the strongest playing of his career, certainly better than the later Verve sessions.

A bit of noodling and excess of patchoulie oil wafting in the air in some of the later sessions but Joe's playing is never less than very good. I agree that the playing quality exceeds that on the Verve sessions and is only bettered by his Blue Notes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit of noodling and excess of patchoulie oil wafting in the air in some of the later sessions but Joe's playing is never less than very good. I agree that the playing quality exceeds that on the Verve sessions and is only bettered by his Blue Notes. I generally prefer the Milestones to the Blue Notes (except "Inner urge"). I never got "Power to the people" because it looked a bit too much like a standard BN session, but I bought "Problem/solution", "Multiple", "Canyon lady" and "Black miracle" and enjoy them all very much indeed. Not so keen on "Black narcissus", which is a bit too much like a Rock album for my limited taste in modern jazz, though I've kept the LP, so I don't hate it Is there much more on the "Milestone years" box that I've missed? (I know there are extra cuts from the ""Problem/solution" session.) MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Been playing my newie this afternoon/evening Very exciting indeed. But seems to be a rip off of Pablo, Verve and Tumbao CDs, except for disc 1 - early forties Decca material, which might be a rip off of some Chronological Classics CD.

martini Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Joe Henderson: The Milestone Years (Disc 1) It is the best $11 I've ever spent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Tapscott Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 Joe Henderson: The Milestone Years (Disc 1) It is the best $11 I've ever spent. Absolutely, I feel the same way. I've heard a lot of the music before and have had 4 or 5 of the LP's. But I'm sure glad I have it in this format. The first four discs plus track one of Disc 5 (Japanese set) are really, really good; the rest of the set not so much IMO (some Ok tracks here and there). I will be revisitng the first four CD's again and again. The rest perhaps once more. But again I have to say that Joe's playing is excellent everywhere on this set (JH in Japan is on fire!)

jazzbo Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 Was a helluva deal wasn't it! I jupmed on it. I have two sealed copies, possibly for gifts. . . and an open one I've been enjoying for quite some time. Right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarpedOrb Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 I just bought the Albert Ayler Holy Ghost box for a good price at Dusty Groove. I'm listening to that at the moment. Unfortunately I'm one of the unlucky ones with a faulty Disc 6. Beautiful package; I've a lot of music to suss out here, but so far it's very good.

I like the second half of the box, has a very CTI feel to it, IMO, which I really enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
