Clunky Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 (edited) Given that my photo of Chapin at the Glasgow Jazz Festival has been my avatar for the last 10 years, I guess you could say I like his music and will get this.

felser Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Me too, found him to be one of the most compelling artists of the last 30 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmce Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 I have always wanted to give him a hearing, and this looks like a good place to start. Any other suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JETman Posted November 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 (edited) I have always wanted to give him a hearing, and this looks like a good place to start. Any other suggestions? Everything you can get your hands on!. You may be able to purchase the 8 cd set containing all the Knitting Factory recs plus one extra previously unreleased disc directly from Playscape. There's a disc called "Ride" wich was released by Playscape. There are a couple of oop Arabesques (remember them?) and a couple of duets with Borah Bergman. Some Michael Musillami discs he appears on (4, I think). I agree with Felser's assessment above. Definitely a life cut way too short. The sky was the limit with Mr. Chapin. While you're at it, grab all the Playscape Pavones (jazz alliteration!) you can as well. Edited November 19, 2012 by JETman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kh1958 Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 I have always wanted to give him a hearing, and this looks like a good place to start. Any other suggestions? I would start with these trio recordings: Sky Piece, Night Bird Song, and Menagerie Dreams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 I had no idea that there was a "Tom Chapin" that wasn't Thomas Chapin. Learn something every day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
