Bol Posted January 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Thanks to your recommendations, I've been listening to "Birdland" and "Crescent". I've had these for a while, but have not really listened to them seriously. So far, so better. "Crescent" in particular seems much better than I remember it. Will continue to listen for a couple of days before making up my mind about the box set. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Berger Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Yeah, but only on cassette. Some buddies from around the country have sent me a variety of material. I'm sure it's in no way a comprehensive account of the live '65 material though. Try to get a hold on a performance from the Half Note called "Creation". A remarkable performance, even by '65 Coltrane standards. I think the sky opened. Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My good friend Ras Moshe sent me a couple of cassettes that were recorded at the Half Note in '65 that he said were in circulation on a smaller label way back and it was a 3 LP set. The playlist IS different than the recently released One Down, One Up on Impulse! I don't know if it's the same as you're talking about, but I can say it is one incredibly smoking set!

I'm not sure why Verve decided not to issue "Creation" on the recent Half Note set, but they really shortchanged listeners by leaving off the best performance. You probably have it on your cassettes -- it's from April 2, 1965. Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 That was released on LP by Blue Parrot, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Crescent now more than I ever had before. These reasons have been detailed somewhat elsewhere on the board... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy - I'll have to dig out the tapes and check the dates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
