chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted March 30, 2011 Report Posted March 30, 2011 (edited) have you guys seen the lp "notes" sheet that comes w/ the lp? it is a comic book, drawn by Wayne Shorter age 15-16,.....1949. i guess the lp theme is in relation to this------what i was thinking that it obviously shows a great sence of artistic talent to do this, even though he later put that talent into being a great tenor saxophone player, you could tell the kid had it!!!!! u know what im sayin. also very unusual to say, it says on the lp that it was mastered from the digital Sony 1630 tape, AS IF THEYRE BRAGGING, LOL. well it doesnt actually say if it was digitally recorded but it does say it was digitally mixed . .................i also dont think this is the right Columbia sleeve for this Columbia album LOL =---------- wait also it says also avail on CR02 cassette................doenst mention CD..... ......could it be this album was NOT released on cd by columbia? did they do that a lot w/ jazz titles then, not make it avail on every format?

sidewinder Posted March 30, 2011 Report Posted March 30, 2011 Check out the Mercer bio. There's quite a bit in there about Shorter's liking for sci fi and the drawing of comics as a youngster. Also about his infatuation with the Powell/Preminger movie 'The Red Shoes' - which was shown on TV here a few days ago (first time I'd seen it - a masterpiece). Have always liked 'Phantom Navigator' since it first came out, although some of the electronics now sounds a bit dated. Quote
JohnS Posted March 30, 2011 Report Posted March 30, 2011 I thought the inner sleeve was the best part of this record. Quote
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted March 30, 2011 Author Report Posted March 30, 2011 what what what? wayne shorter is obsessed with "the red shoes"? really? i wonder why Quote
brownie Posted March 30, 2011 Report Posted March 30, 2011 Also about his infatuation with the Powell/Preminger movie 'The Red Shoes' - which was shown on TV here a few days ago (first time I'd seen it - a masterpiece). Not Preminger but Emeric Pressburger, Powell's alter ego! Great film, also shown last week on TV on this side of the Channel! Quote
Michael Weiss Posted March 30, 2011 Report Posted March 30, 2011 If you can get past the sound effects (I know this is very difficult for a lot of people) , PN is some of Wayne's most intriguing, detailed, fleshed out composing of all time. Quote

There must have been an 'Entente Cordiale' cross-channel Red Shoes season ! It got high profile on the BBC website too - I have to say that Michael Powell's cinematography is just stunning. If you can get past the sound effects (I know this is very difficult for a lot of people) , PN is some of Wayne's most intriguing, detailed, fleshed out composing of all time. Exactly !
