jlhoots Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Out of stock at Amazon. Dusty Groove has never had it. I'm still waiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kh1958 Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 You can order this directly from Uptown on their website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazaro Vega Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 It is phenomenal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Beat Steve Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 What's up with this non-availability through the easier accessible worldwide channels? Have Uptown changed their distribution setup and gone all in-house? Or is this just a temporary situation? Anybody have any idea? Thanx beforehand ...

colinmce Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 I was wondering if there was an error or recall of some sort as it seemed to have been yanked. I guess not? I'll just place an order with Uptown then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 I think the dealers just ran out of stock and are waiting for replacements. Place orders with confidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenLowe Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 just to mention, the 1952 Toronto concert, contrary to that article, has very decent sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 I agree, and it might be a bit more exciting, but the Uptown is a major release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Kart Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 I agree, and it might be a bit more exciting, but the Uptown is a major release. As I think I may have said, especially for Tristano's own playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenLowe Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 Larry - do you mean the Uptown? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Kart Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 Larry - do you mean the Uptown? Yes. There's a lot of Tristano solo work there IIRC, and some it is sensational. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quasimado Posted December 25, 2014 Report Share Posted December 25, 2014 Willie Dennis was a hell of a musician - just amazing trombone - hearing him here made me pick up the Ronnie Ball (Savoy) which for some reason I had overlooked. Beautiful conception combined with a remarkable technique. What a loss! Q Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kh1958 Posted December 25, 2014 Report Share Posted December 25, 2014 The sound on this is a lot better than I expected--it's one of the best Uptown releases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T.D. Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 I preordered from Barnes & Noble last week (with a gift card I got for Christmas). No word of shipping yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scooby Posted January 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Mine came about a week ago. Excellent playing all around with Willie Dennis a pleasant surprise for me. As others mentioned, sound is very good. A nice selection of repertoire stretched over 2 CDs. One thing that was distracting me was Lennie's comping for the soloists. To me, it seemed inflexible and not connected to what the soloists were doing (not that it seemed to bother them, however). I'll have to give it another listen.

AllenLowe Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 it also might be the sound balance in the recording. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll go back and check, but that's the way Lennie comps IIRC. A small price to pay if one even feels that way. For me, his comping, a kind of sonic-rhythmic "wall," is part of the total effect. A Tristano who comped like, say, Tommy Flanagan or Wynton Kelly would have been impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
