Soul Stream Posted November 13, 2003 Report Posted November 13, 2003 How's Larry on this. Is he playing organ? Any thoughts??? Quote
brownie Posted November 13, 2003 Report Posted November 13, 2003 This is one of my favorite Larry Young albums. He plays organ on that duo date. Original, beautiful and very evocative session. It also swings. Joe Chambers is a drums master. Quote

BFrank Posted November 13, 2003 Report Posted November 13, 2003 I really like this album, too. It's very atmospheric - mostly not a high-energy session except for the last 2 cuts. Here's the instrumentation: 1) "Hello To The Wind" - JC-piano/LY-organ 2) "The Orge" - JC-piano, tabla, cymbals/LY-organ, synth 3) "Mind Rain" - JC-piano, cymbals/LY-organ 4) "After the Rain" - JC-piano (solo) 5) "Message from Mars" - JC-drums/LY-organ 6) "Rock Pile" - JC-drums/LY-organ If you can grab this, get it. I don't think it's that easy to find and I also don't believe it has ever been on CD. Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted November 13, 2003 Report Posted November 13, 2003 You know what's sad? I finally found a SEALED copy of this on Ebay and I bought it last summer and I haven't listened to it yet. I just cannot make myself break the seal... it's a mental thing. I love Chambers and I love Young but I also love virgin vinyl and I just can't make myself open it. Am I disturbed? Quote
brownie Posted November 13, 2003 Report Posted November 13, 2003 UNSEAL it! This is music to listen to, not to look at Quote
mikeweil Posted November 13, 2003 Report Posted November 13, 2003 Am I disturbed? Certainly not - it only shows your sincere love for the music and its creators. But they would want you to listen to it, for sure! Quote

Not as disturbed as you'll be when you finally hear it and realise how long you intentionally didn't listen to it. Quote

Or find another 'open' one as quick as you can, buy it pronto, and put it on. FYI, it looks like the going rate for this one in Mint condition is about $20, sealed or not. Couple closed eBay auctions... Mint, open ($19.90) Mint, still sealed ($20.50) Edited November 13, 2003 by Rooster_Ties Quote
JSngry Posted November 13, 2003 Report Posted November 13, 2003 I was initially disappointed in this album, because I was hoping for a drum-organ duet-fest, and it's anything but. But when I finally LISTENED to it, I realised just how beautiful it really was. Chambers is one of the most musically astute players out there, not just a "player", but a "mind" as well, and what Larry and him come up with in these performances is deep. Open it and play it. It's music. Quote
Soul Stream Posted November 13, 2003 Author Report Posted November 13, 2003 This has been reissued on vinyl. Hence all the "mint" vinyl for sale. Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted November 13, 2003 Report Posted November 13, 2003 This has been reissued on vinyl. Hence all the "mint" vinyl for sale. And it's never been released on CD???? WTF!!!!! Quote
JSngry Posted November 13, 2003 Report Posted November 13, 2003 It's on Muse, and that's a label that didn't smoothly survive the transition to CD, to put it mildly. Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted November 13, 2003 Report Posted November 13, 2003 It's on Muse, and that's a label that didn't smoothly survive the transition to CD, to put it mildly. Yeah, I know that -- but why the hell is it being rereleased on vinyl??? THAT'S FUCKED UP!!!!! (if you'll pardon my 'aric' moment). Quote
JSngry Posted November 13, 2003 Report Posted November 13, 2003 I dunno, man. There's some kind of wierdness going on with LP reissues that may or may not be totally sanctioned (wink wink, nudge nudge). Seems like Dusty Groove (the bastards!) seems to offer all sorts of LP reissues that don't show up anywhere else, although I'm not exactly Mr. With It when it comes to the world of turntabledom. All I know is that you can get "new reissue" copies of some things on Muse and other labels there on LP. I got one of Jerome Richardson's GOING TO THE MOVIES from them, and all sonic indicators were that it had been dubbed from an original LP. So draw your own conclusions... Quote
Stefan Wood Posted November 13, 2003 Report Posted November 13, 2003 This is an EXCELLENT session that deserves to be reissued on cd. Crack open the vinyl, B3. Whaddya gonna do with the sealed vinyl, be buried with it? Enjoy the music! Quote
Jazzmoose Posted November 13, 2003 Report Posted November 13, 2003 Hah! Everytime I've bought sealed vinyl, I think I'm just going to put it away on the shelf and save it. Unfortunately, the turntable is between the front door and the room I keep my LPs in... Quote
sidewinder Posted November 14, 2003 Report Posted November 14, 2003 You'll enjoy this LP. Easily the best by Larry at the tail-end of his career and tragic that he passed away not that long afterwards, with signs of the career at last picking up again. This one showed that he could still deliver the goods. Wonderful showcase for the compositional and multi-instrumental talents of Joe Chambers too ! Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted November 14, 2003 Report Posted November 14, 2003 Ok, I'll crack it open soon. My turntable isn't even hooked up right now. So many other things goin' on. For what it's worth, I got my sealed original copy (Muse original pressing) on Ebay for $5. Yeehaw! Quote
