CJ Shearn Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Listening now to the original US CD, if you don't have it since it is being reissued in Japan, highly recommended. I don't plan on upgrading but hope they don't make the reissue too loud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milestones Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Is this the trio record with Kenny Burrell from the 90s? I've always liked the combination of Smith and Burrell, and this record is one of the best--on a par, if not better than, the 60's records with Stanley Turrnetine. Nothing against Mr. T., but I like hearing Kenny receiving plenty of limelight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Shearn Posted August 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Indeed it is, JOS, Burrell and Jimmie Smith on drums. I think this is one of JOS' best from later in his career too. For some reason, they aren't reissuing the second album, just the first. It'd be nice to have a complete sessions set from this gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 The Master also had a Vol 2, issued only in Japan on Toshiba EMI on the Somethin'else label, done at the same 2 gigs in Osaka. Both are damn good! The whole two CDs won't fit on one CD. So what's on the new reissue?

Both are damn good! I think "The Master II" was also issue in the U.S. by Blue Note. I have this one but not the first volume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Alfredson Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 Got 'em both. Listened to them to death in the 90s. Great stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Shearn Posted September 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 The Master II was issued in the US in 1996 I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
