The Magnificent Goldberg Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Wonderful! I was thinking yesterday that a new one was about due! Thanks. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Nice to see Cedar in support rather than out front (not that I don't enjoy his trio albums, but I especially enjoy him with horns) and what I've heard of Curtis Fuller in recent years tells me this ought to be a real good 'un.

This sure looks like another winner. I loved David's recent recording, "Life." He continues to perform and record heartfelt and beautiful music. I'm wondering about the photographer, too...incredible photo of David - maybe Jimmy Katz? Marla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makpjazz57 Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 (edited) Karen, David's wife, told me the photographer is Roy Gumpel. David is going to be on the David Letterman show next Tuesday, not as a sit down guest, but as a guest of the band. For those of you in NYC, don't forget about the 75th Birthday Celebration for David - at Iridium - he's going to have some of the best of the best as guests on his gig!

ejp626 Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 I'm somewhat disappointed that HighNote has stopped licensing their Newman CDs to eMusic; they have a lot of the earlier ones They haven't completely stopped their connection as some Eric Alexander CDs are turning up. I guess it is worth dropping them and perhaps eMusic a line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it is worth dropping them and perhaps eMusic a line. Interesting. I wonder if the firm perceives that there is a somewhat different market for some of these albums. Do they, for example, license the Mel Sparks, Houston Person, Reuben Wilson and other similar albums to Emusic? MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 What a line-up! Wish I was there! It DOES look as though Hank Crawford is very incapacitated. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catesta Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 I'm all over this new release. I've been buying all the Fathead High Notes and have not been disappointed. Sorry to say I will miss the Iridium dates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
