Hardbopjazz Posted January 17, 2009 Report Posted January 17, 2009 Is landscape and Jazz Connoisseur legit labels? I was looking at some Grimes' session and a few I believe to be bootlegs are on Landscape and Jazz Connoisseur labels. Anyone can shed some light on these two labels? Quote
jazzbo Posted January 17, 2009 Report Posted January 17, 2009 The Landscapes that I have (Charles Mingus European concerts, don't tell Sue) are definitely boots. Quote
Gheorghe Posted January 19, 2009 Report Posted January 19, 2009 The only Henry Grimes date under his own name, that I know that was recorded before his more than 30 years hiatus is "The Call", on ESP. Quote
Guest Bill Barton Posted January 19, 2009 Report Posted January 19, 2009 Gheorghe is correct. Everything else he's credited on as a leader is either a private recording or a radio broadcast. What sessions are you talking about? Michael Fitzgerald's Grimes discography also lists a co-leader date with Oluyemi Thomas on Not Two Records from July of 2006. Quote
paul secor Posted January 19, 2009 Report Posted January 19, 2009 How 'bout Henry Grimes Trio (w. David Murray & Hamid Drake): Live at the Kerava Festival - Ayler Records? Quote
Hardbopjazz Posted January 19, 2009 Author Report Posted January 19, 2009 They were radio broadcasts. Quote
Gheorghe Posted January 19, 2009 Report Posted January 19, 2009 How 'bout Henry Grimes Trio (w. David Murray & Hamid Drake): Live at the Kerava Festival - Ayler Records? I heard that trio, w. Murray and Drake and it really knocked me out. I also noticed they had some Monk on their repertory, I remember a really fast "Evidence", and a very nice "Let´s Cool One" with Murray on bass clarinet. This must have been around 2004 if my memory´s right. Quote
Guest Bill Barton Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 (edited) How 'bout Henry Grimes Trio (w. David Murray & Hamid Drake): Live at the Kerava Festival - Ayler Records? Aha! I stand corrected. What's that one like? Never heard it... Unless my "old eyes" are missing it, the ayler release does not appear in Mike's Grimes discography. Assuming that the sessions mentioned in the original post are "pre-comeback" can they possibly be with Grimes as leader? Whiich ones are you referring to Hardbopjazz?

musicmargaret Posted April 9, 2009 Report Posted April 9, 2009 Hi, everyone. The Henry Grimes discography by Michael Fitzgerald is somewhat out of date. Please look here to find the answers to your questions about Henry Grimes recordings: http://www.henrygrimes.com/discography.html. And all of Henry's current news may be found at http://www.henrygrimes.com. Thanks! Quote
Stefan Wood Posted April 9, 2009 Report Posted April 9, 2009 The Henry Grimes "Solo" double cd set that came out earlier this year is fantastic. Not easy listening for one sitting however -- needs to be taken in small bites. Quote
musicmargaret Posted April 10, 2009 Report Posted April 10, 2009 Yes, we were sorry that the record company chose not to index the continuous music on the two CD's so that there would be specific starting and stopping points designated and numbered and the sections named as individual pieces, even if the names were only Part 1, Part 2, etc. of a single suite. That way the listener could go back to Part 3 (let's say) and listen to that specific section several times if the listener found that section particularly demanding or intriguing. The logical points for indexing would have been the times when Henry paused to switch from bass to violin or vice-versa. I also have problems with the packaging design chosen by the record company (no photos, no liner notes, no illustrations, no CD booklet, and the printing of the name of the CD and other bare-bones information in very thin black writing on a very dark blue background, so that unless you have 2O / 2O vision in broad daylight, you probably won't be able to tell what that square dark-blue item you're holding is. Then again, as far as the packaging goes, in the field of the blatant and the obvious, maybe sometimes being elusive, inscrutable, understated, mysterious works best. Quote
musicmargaret Posted April 10, 2009 Report Posted April 10, 2009 P.S. If you want to hear Henry Grimes play solo (and you haven't really heard him until you've heard him play solo), please see http://www.henrygrimes.com/schedule.html for news of a short solo on April 26th that will be Webcast, and see the home page, http://www.henrygrimes.com, for news of solo concerts on June 12th (International Society of Bassists Convention at Penn State U.) and June 13th (Vision Festival, NYC).

robviti Posted April 10, 2009 Report Posted April 10, 2009 hi margaret! i'm really looking forward to hearing henry play solo at the vision fest. aside from that brief photo shoot in your apartment a year or so ago, i haven't had the opportunity to enjoy him alone and unencumbered by other musicians. take care, and i'll see you both in june.
