The Magnificent Goldberg Posted January 17, 2009 Report Posted January 17, 2009 wasnt this his last BN till the 80s? whats it like? is it seriously only on lp and in the mosaic? never a singlular cd issue? is it good, whats it sound like? 1 No. It was done on 3 March 1969. "Ain't no way" was done 23 June 1969. And Stanley was on McGriff's "Electric funk", recorded September 1969. 2 It's good. If you're a Thad Jones fan as well as a Stan fan, it's bloody good. 3 Yes - except maybe there was a Japanese issue on CD. Never saw one, though. 4 Sounds very much like Stan, Thad, Cedar, Buster and Mickey. MG Quote
sidewinder Posted January 17, 2009 Report Posted January 17, 2009 'Bloody good' would be my opinion too - a Liberty-era Blue Note gem. Both Stan and Thad in fime form. Reminds me of Donald Byrd's 'The Creeper' in terms of quality meeting/exceeding expectations. Quote
Shawn Posted January 17, 2009 Report Posted January 17, 2009 I agree with all of the above, an excellent session! The kind of album that was almost completely extinct during that era of Blue Note. Quote
John L Posted January 17, 2009 Report Posted January 17, 2009 I agree very much with the enthusiasm for this one. I first heard it after picking up the Turrentine Mosaic, as was blown away at first listen: a real gem. Quote
JohnS Posted January 17, 2009 Report Posted January 17, 2009 Another one to pull out and play. That's one of the things I like about this place, makes me get out some overlooked discs. Quote
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted January 18, 2009 Author Report Posted January 18, 2009 late period Stanley Blue notes are HARD TO FIND!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
danasgoodstuff Posted January 19, 2009 Report Posted January 19, 2009 Very straight ahead, maybe more so than even his earliest BNs, depending on where exactly you think the jazz straight and narrow is... Your enjoyment may depend on your taste for cooking on a lower flame. I liked it but haven't listened in quite some time, draw your own conclusions. Bought a vinyl copy not that long ago for not that much, but definitely one of ST's harder ones to find. Quote
Peter Friedman Posted January 19, 2009 Report Posted January 19, 2009 I always liked this one. Stanley and Thad fit well together. Had it on LP and now on the Mosaic CD box. Quote
Parkertown Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 late period Stanley Blue notes are HARD TO FIND!!!!!!!!!!!! IME, mostly just that one is hard to find... Quote
Shrdlu Posted February 15, 2009 Report Posted February 15, 2009 Very good session. Mind you, I like all of Stan's sessions. It's a shame that the only CD version is the Mixmaster one. Quote

Jazz Vinyl Posted March 7, 2009 Report Posted March 7, 2009 Clifford, yes this can be a tricky Stanley LP to find on vinyl. And thanks Dan G. for your advice on the Willis Jackson cover....the cover condition has been adjusted. Nearly 1200 used 1960's and 1970's soul jazz records, all with pictures and descriptions, found at WATTSJAZZ. 60+ new additions each week, take a peek: http://stores.ebay.com/wattsjazz Quote
sidewinder Posted March 8, 2009 Report Posted March 8, 2009 (edited) Just spinning Disk 5 of the Stanley T. Mosaic box, what a great session this is. Stanley's version of 'Stella By Starlight' is exceptional. You get a very tangible impression listening to this album that the classic era at Blue Note was coming to an end and albums such as this would soon be no more. Of course, Thad Jones was also on a major roll back in the late 60s. Very consistent. Edited March 8, 2009 by sidewinder Quote
JohnS Posted March 8, 2009 Report Posted March 8, 2009 I'm going going to have to play this one again. I'm sorry to say it didn't grab me as much as it did some of you guys the last time around. Quote
