John Tapscott Posted April 14, 2003 Report Share Posted April 14, 2003 I don't know how many of you have heard it, but man, this CD by Danny D'Imperio is one smokin' disc. I've been really digging it over the past couple of days along with Lee Morgan Live at the Lighthouse. I know Danny is a member of this forum under some name, so congrats. Danny - I hope there's more to come. In the meantime, I highly recommend this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeBop Posted April 14, 2003 Report Share Posted April 14, 2003 I've got (probably) the whole D'Imperio-as-leader catalog (for reasons that probably aren't even clear to me; I just keep picking these up as I find 'em). I would say that it's all of a consistently high quality. Solid, swinging sidemen. Great tune choices - many forgotten/overlooked gems.

jazzbo Posted April 15, 2003 Report Share Posted April 15, 2003 This is a good one, not my favorite of Dan's, and I think the charts could have offered a little more challenge to the players, but a hard-swinging fest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Tapscott Posted April 15, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2003 I think the charts could have offered a little more challenge to the players, but a hard-swinging fest! Lon, I agree. Unlike most big band albums the charts are not the focus here and I was a bit surprised at that when I first heard it. Everything is really opened up for the soloists to do their thing. Sort of like JATP for a big band. But when you accept it for what it is, then you can really dig it, because the soloists (esp. Smulyan on baritone!) are cooking. And the thing swings hard at every tempo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Gould Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Amazon lists it in stock, with two used copies even cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
