AOTW 12/22-12/28 BLACKSTONE LEGACY Woody Shaw

[JSngry]

i just bought a buddy terry prestige LP but it ain't that one (has harold mabern is all i remember)....

he was probably over his head but the other musicians were certainly capable of carrying him!

Exactly!

Sounds like you got Electric Soul, which is ok, but kinda unformed. Seems that Terry might've started recording before his chops were fully developed.

Natural Soul, that's the one you don't want to sleep until you find. Not that it's "great" or anything like that, although it is pretty damn good for the most part. It's just got NEWARK VIBE out the ass, and in a really good way.

Along with his other originals from this session, Woody copyrighted a tune called 'One For Butch' (or something like that). I wish I could get someone to play it. I also wish I knew who was handling his publishing/estate.

Bertrand.

go to woodyshaw.com his son is running things and they sell charts on the site. Perhaps he would work out an arrangement with you to use the tune....]

Just to bump this topic for the moment, I just received Blackstone Legacy in the mail yesterday and winding down on my first listen. I dig this one alot. Yeah, the Miles Bitches Brew vibe works with me. Agreed, the 2 tracks Think Of Me and Boo-Ann's Grind are much more restrained(mainstream)compared to the other works and that's cool by me. Woody's playing is just fantastic along with the other players. Yes, I'm really glad to have finally picked this one up. For those interested, Amazon Marketplace has new copies available for 5.98 and 5.99 from very reputable sellers.
