bertrand Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 I am getting mixed information from discographies and Amazon reviews. On the one hand, some say that Booker is on 4 tracks (including the two CD bonus tracks). On the other hand, I thought a friend of mine who bought it years ago said Booker is only on one track. The sound clips only have him on 'Searchlight', but they are only 30-second clips. Can anyone who has this set me straight? Thanks, Bertrand.

Chuck Nessa Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 The horns only play on tracks 3, 4, 7 and 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon8 Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Like Chuck said, except that the sole horn on track 7 is Jaki on alto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Track 6 is the one with Jaki on alto. Richard Williams and Booker play on 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon8 Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Oh yes, that's right. Mea culpa ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazztrain Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 How ironic. I picked up a used copy of this sometime in the last few months and listened to it yesterday and today for the first time. Chuck already answered the questions Oh yes, that's right. Mea culpa !

David Gitin Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Jaki told me that the horns were a surprise to him on that date. The trio showed up for the session and Jaki was told to use the horns (who didn't know his compositions). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Son-of-a-Weizen Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Jaki told me that the horns were a surprise to him on that date. The trio showed up for the session and Jaki was told to use the horns (who didn't know his compositions). What sort of producer would do such a thing? Seems a bit daft.

bertrand Posted October 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 What was really daft was to not offer to pay for rehearsal time. Bertrand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swinging Swede Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Hey, it was Prestige! If they had paid for rehearsal time they would have been Blue Note! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
