Rooster_Ties Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 (edited) Just stumbled on notice of this, quite by accident. I've been curious to hear some of Phil Ranelin's short stint with Freddie circa 1979-80, and from what I've read about their two studio dates together (Skagly and The Love Connection - ) -- I'm guessing this new, live document might be a whole LOT better way to go. Long and fairly informative Press Release, and track listing with samples. Appears to be due in early May (despite the press release saying early March). 1. The Intrepid Fox (F. Hubbard) ------- 8:02 2. First Light (F. Hubbard) ----------- 10:13 3. One of Another Kind (F. Hubbard) --- 12:26 4. Happiness is Now (F. Hubbard) ------- 7:11 5. The Summer Knows (F. Hubbard) ------- 8:28 6. Blues for Duane (F. Hubbard) -------- 9:18 7. Giant Steps (F. Hubbard) ------------ 8:45 Freddie Hubbard - trumpet, flugelhorn Billy Childs - piano, Rhodes Larry Klein - bass Phil Ranelin - trombone (1-4, 6, 7) Hadley Caliman - tenor saxophone (3, 6, 7) David Schnitter - tenor saxophone (1, 2, 4) Eddie Marshall - drums (3, 5, 6, 7) Sinclair Lott - drums (1, 2, 4) Don't know either of the tenor players, though I'm sure others here probably do.

JSngry Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Scnitter played in the Watson/Pomerov/Etc-era Messengers. For Caliman, all you need to know is: 'nuff said! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcello Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 That's my photo of Freddie on the cover. I haven't received my copy yet. These are from Todd Barkan's tapes made at the Keystone Korner. Toddy has lots. I know that they are talking about a Dexter Gordon date to be released, and I would guess, more to come from other artists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster_Ties Posted March 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 (edited) BTW, I was trying to find more info about a new Phil Ranelin disc that appears to have come out today. But other than the tracklisting on AMG (and the cover), I can't seem to find much info about it (I was looking for a full listing of the participants, and also the composers of all the tunes)... AMG link (fwiw) Edit: Amazon has the musicians, I see - still looking for composer credits. Those searching -- note the less-than-standard spelling of "Perseverance" on the cover (as "Perserverence") -- and how Google auto-corrects for spelling in some cases (and not others).

Spontooneous Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 On the Hubbard disc, given the timings, anybody else suspect that the performances have been severely edited? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spontooneous Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Note also that on the Amazon link, the Ranelin album seems to have encountered a proofreader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster_Ties Posted March 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Note also that on the Amazon link, the Ranelin album seems to have encountered a proofreader. Damn, even the cover itself!!!

bertrand Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 The attribution of a composer credit to Hubbard for 'Giant Steps' and 'The Summer Knows' makes me suspicious of this product. Bertrand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster_Ties Posted March 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Ha! I just cut-n-pasted the info, and never looked that closely at the composer credits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david weiss Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 The Freddie CD is totally legit. I did some work on it and there is some really nice stuff on this. Freddie's playing is really strong of course...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertrand Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 I will definitely be getting this. Too bad about the composer credits. I was hoping the Barkan recordings would start trickling out. Bertrand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david weiss Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 I'm sure they will be correct on the CD itself. I think the plan is to start a Keystone series, let's hope that works out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

felser Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 It's out as of yesterday. Anyone heard it yet? The track lengths are quite a bit shorter than the 1981 Keystone stuff that Fantasy released, as previously noted. Full performances? How's the sound quaility? Also, I wasn't even familiar with Mistral,(1981 was a tough year for me and it looks like it never has made it to CD, where I would have become aware of it after the fact). Art Pepper, Phil Ranelin and Freddie is some kinda front line, yet it gets a poor review in AMG. Any thoughts on that one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster_Ties Posted May 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 How many Phil Ranelin solos?? Does he get more than a chorus or two, once or twice? I'm sure it's a fine album either way, but I'll admit he's the draw here for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcello Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 (edited) There are only a couple of solos from each sidemen on the entire disc, but this is all Freddie, and he's really killin! The sound quality isn't perfect, but then again, the performances are great. By the way, Todd is back at Dizzy's four night a week and is recovering well. I found this video for the CD: Edited May 11, 2011 by marcello Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felser Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 (edited) There are only a couple of solos from each sidemen on the entire disc Which would seem to support the possibility that these are edited performances, as it would be unusual for a live performance to not allow solo space to superior band members. How would you have Dave Schnitter or Hadley Caliman or Phil Ranelin of 1980 in your band at a major jazz venue and not have him soloing? Unless what was chosen for the disc was just Hubbard "features", in which case I lament that there would likely be much more material available! Doesn't mean I won't buy the thing eventually though Edited May 12, 2011 by felser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
