JohnS Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 This is due for release on Justin Time on 24/6. It created a bit of interest when its existence became known. Don't know the recording date but it may well be one of Mal's last recordings. A must for me. Sound samples at Justin Time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost of miles Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Just bought this today at our local record store--says it was recorded in Brussels Oct. 5 and 6, 2001. Track listing: Free for C.T. Silence (Murray composition) Hurray for Herbie (Waldron composition) I Should Care Jean-Pierre (the Miles tune) All Too Soon Soul Eyes Didn't listen as closely as I should've the first time through (got too caught up catching up on the Big O, if you know what I mean). First impression was that MW wasn't feeling particularly inspired during these sessions, but it sounds good enough, particularly if you're a Murray and/or Waldron fan (second time through I'm digging Murray's excursion on "Jean-Pierre").

RDK Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Available for free (thieving) download on one blog site since June 26. Why do any of us try? You probably just advertised to more people than would have seen it on the blog. I bought it last week from emusic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tkeith Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Got mine through eMusic as well (aka, legal thieving -- very little payout to the artist from eMusic and I'm still trying to reconcile that). Chuck, I saw that at said location (I always surf for OOP stuff when I have the chance). Any coincidence that the ring leader at said blog is one of the major assholes among that crowd? I think not.

JohnS Posted July 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Mine's arrived at last. What a nice set, the long Soul Eyes is particularly impressive. Probably Murray's best duo recording. Very good closely recorded sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenLowe Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 I don't get it - does anybody actually PLAY on this recording? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randyhersom Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 No, they just wait around to be paid twice the agreed amount. Get over it, Allen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost of miles Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Well, I never get tired of occasionally posting this exchange from ANIMAL CRACKERS: Spaulding: What do you fellas get an hour? Ravelli: For playing, we get-a ten dollars an hour. Spaulding: I see. What do you get for not playing? Ravelli: Twelve dollars an hour. Spaulding: Well, clip me off a piece of that. Ravelli: Now for rehearsing, we make special rate. That's-a fifteen dollars an hour...That's-a for rehearsing. Spaulding: And what do you get for not rehearsing? Ravelli: You couldn't afford it. You see, if we don't rehearse, we a-don't play, and if we don't play (he snaps his finger) - that runs into money. Spaulding: How much would you want to run into an open manhole? Ravelli: Just-a the cover charge! Ha, ha, ha. Spaulding: Well, drop in some time. Ravelli: Sewer. Spaulding: Well, we cleaned that up pretty well. Ravelli: Well, let's see how-a we stand. Spaulding: Flat-footed. Ravelli: Yesterday, we didn't come. (To Mrs. Rittenhouse) You remember, yesterday we didn't come? Spaulding: Oh, I remember. Ravelli: Yes, that's three hundred dollars. Spaulding: Yesterday, you didn't come, that's three hundred dollars? Ravelli: Yes, three hundred dollars. Spaulding: Well, that's reasonable. I can see that alright. Ravelli: Now today, we did come. That's-a (pause).. Spaulding: That's a hundred you owe us. Ravelli: Hey, I bet I'm gonna lose on the deal. Tomorrow we leave. That's worth about (pause).. Spaulding: A million dollars.

clifford_thornton Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Looks decent. Better review in the NY'er than I think Ratliff and Chinen put together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkeith Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 I've only played it once, and I love both guys. That said, there is better material from both. However, I think this is an excellent, very listenable set. If you're looking for a classic, this isn't it. But, as someone once said to me, "I'd listen to Mal set his drink on the piano." Waldron is not on fire, as he he gets on some of the live sets with Rouse and CROWD SCENE with Ricky Ford, but he's musical, tuned in, and professional -- listenable. Murray is Murray, and while that rubs some folks, he's one of the few guys I've seen and consistently been impressed by. If you like Murray and you like Waldron, this is a safe purchase (especially at the eMusic price). If you're questionable towards either, move on.

Unk Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Listening to this for the first time. Very good album. Guy Thanks for timely note. I saw a copy of this at local record store day and hesitated. This may push me over the edge. Haven't found samples on Amazon or elsewhere, hence the hesitation. (That said, I haven't looked all that hard over a $5 purchase.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Berger Posted May 16, 2021 Report Share Posted May 16, 2021 Still enjoying this album more than a decade later. My opinion was very positive back then, and it holds up well IMHO, especially the majestic version of “Soul Eyes”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
