Charlie Rouse - Social Call

[six string]

I saw this Charlie Rouse album today on Uptown Records. Does anybody here have it and can you recomend it? It's also got Red Rodney, Albert Daily on it. It's probably a no brainer but I thought I would ask since I don't expect the record to disappear too quickly.

carpe diem.

[paul secor]

Go for it.

[John Tapscott]

What Jim says. Excellent.

[Lazaro Vega]

"Darn That Dream" is worth the price of admission alone.....

[Dan Gould]

If anyone else hasn't carpe diemed yet, I have a NM copy (clipped corner) in my vinyl for-sale list.

"Darn That Dream" is worth the price of admission alone.....

..as good as 'Green Chimneys' on Soul Mates?

[J.A.W.]

carpe diem.

A very nice album. Recommended.

Yes, I know what Horace's phrase "carpe diem" means. I have 6 long years of Latin (including reading Horace) behind me, back in the 1960s. I don't see what "carpe diem" ("enjoy the day") has got to do with recommending an album, though.

No.

Frankly, Soul Mates is a better album all around, but Social Call is still damn good.

[Chuck Nessa]

Social Call is a wonderful date. Soul Mates is too. Different vibes.

If you read Horace you'd know the context of the quotation - essentially he says that one should enjoy the present without worrying about the future. Thus the original poster should buy the album without worrying whether they will dislike it. It's an encouragement.

Yeah, it's like, it's there, take advantage of it, don't fuck around and let it get past you. It's one of life's good things, take advantage!

Shit, I've had no years, long or otherwise, of Latin behind me or in front of me, and most of my reading of Horace has been Silver lead sheets and even I know that much. Score one for the dumbasses.

Yes, I know the context of the quotation, but I think it's a bit far-fetched to use it as an encouragement to get something.

Good for you.

[JSngry]

Hey, Latin is a dead language, English isn't, so consider it a salvage job. It's the least I can do for mis hermanos Latinos.

Or else one can crape diem...shit on the day. Not as much fun, but something for everybody, right? Happiness in the name of the game in any language.

[J.A.W.]

Well, at least we agree that Social Call is a good album

[Brad]

Very good album; one of those unrecognized nuggets from Uptown.

[Kevin Bresnahan]

Maybe Jim should have said "Carpe amicabiliter dico".

[JSngry]

Well, even if I could have, nobody would know what it means, or if they did, they'd have o mentally translate it. Too much math for R&B!

Carpe diem it is, then, and yes, it is a very good record indeed!

[Peter Friedman]

Both "Social Call" and "Soul Mates" are terrific albums. Get them both!!!!

[Spontooneous]

And start looking for "Upper Manhattan Jazz Society" on Enja.

Stefan snatched my copy, but as I keep mentioning, Social Call is available in NM condition for $3.
