Chuck Nessa Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 Might have been a local critic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 Nah, the local critics back then pretended that The Recovery Room didn't exist (or maybe/probably they weren't pretending...I doubt they did know, or else figured it to be a junkie hangout with junkie jazz). But a few years after it folded & Marchel started playing "white"(er) clubs, all of a sudden every one of them motherfuckers had been there every damn night. Yeah, right. It's so much easier to write history than it is to live it...less time involved & the Dearly Departed don't get in the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmitry Posted February 15, 2022 Report Share Posted February 15, 2022 A couple of days ago picked this up at the record fair. I don't have the Turrentine Mosaic, so I wasn't aware of this date, and wanted to skip it at first, but then I looked at the line-up, looked at the titles, and I had to have it. What a wonderful set of music! I wonder why it was never released as a CD by Blue Note...this is some great hard bop. In 1969 to hear a set like this on record...how "not in the party line" was that? Duke Pearson did very well! This set could've been Alfred Lion-produced in 1962. I wonder if there were any other compositions recorded for this session...

sidewinder Posted February 15, 2022 Report Share Posted February 15, 2022 āAnother Storyā is a real sleeper of a session - excellent LP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub Modal Posted February 15, 2022 Report Share Posted February 15, 2022 Great quintet set from '69. Got it on the Mosaic and it was one that I enjoyed immediately.Ā Speaking of which I'm due to revisit that box soon.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ā "Another Story" was reissued as CD in Japan some years ago and I immediately loved it.Ā The half of "Easy Walker" also comes from the same period (McCoy Tyner on piano) and very good too.

You also get Comin' Your Way, Jubilee Shout, A Chip Off The Old Block, Mr. Natural and In Memory Of (the last 2 never on CD outside the Mosaic, afaik). Are any of the last three mentioned must haves?

Chip is from '63 and is kind of the outlier among these as it's got Shirley Scott on B3. Bouncy beats and a different attitude from the other two. If you like B3 grooves then this would be considered a must-have.Ā Ā Natural and Memory are both from '64 and are solid sextet sessions that share Cranshaw on bass. Elvin is not so polyrhythmic on Mr. Natural and kind of plays it straight. Maybe that's because Barreto is there? I don't know. The track Shirley from Mr. Natural has a great vibe. I think Morgan & Turrentine play really well together on this album - doesn't really make sense that it was shelved but who knows what the deal was.Ā Memory - Title song is pretty slow - probably too slow but otherwise it's a good record. Compositions are well put together and playing is cohesive. Niger Mambo is a short and sweet scorcher. Overall not as good as Mr Natural though.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
