Teasing the Korean Posted September 10, 2016 Report Posted September 10, 2016 (edited) Jackie and Roy's A Wilder Alias is a totally insane masterpiece, easily one of the 10 greatest CTI albums ever. It simply must be heard to be believed. Edited September 10, 2016 by Teasing the Korean Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted September 10, 2016 Report Posted September 10, 2016 Fats Theus / Grant Green - Black Out A pretty nice album, from the early days of CTI. Not sensational, but pretty nice. Probably the only example ever of a musical saw being used in a jazz record. MG Quote
soulpope Posted September 10, 2016 Report Posted September 10, 2016 (edited) Art Farmer "Something You Got" .... excellent arrangements by David Matthews and some great solo work by Art Farmer and Yusef Lateef (on tenor saxophone !!) ..... Edited September 10, 2016 by soulpope Quote

MG I saw (smile) this band live when I was 19 or so, Eddie Moore on drums and a young Gerri Allen on piano. I believe Mr Moore did his saw thing that night. Awesome it was. Sorry for the thread cap. Just reminiscing. and CTI...badass players doing it (mostly) Edited September 10, 2016 by robertoart Quote
HutchFan Posted September 10, 2016 Report Posted September 10, 2016 Not exactly "obscure" -- but Stanley Turrentine's Salt Song is a favorite of mine. Lots of other excellent records on that list too. Quote
JSngry Posted September 10, 2016 Report Posted September 10, 2016 Those Esther Phillips sides find Esther in very good voice doing very good songs on very contolled/stylized NYC Disco settings made by thistle the same people who were already making other records like that, only with some really...uh...flamboyant orchestration choices. I like them well enough to listen to them voluntarily, but probably not enough to recommend them to anybody who I didn't already know. But there is a lot of idiomatic playing on those records that is nothing short of epitomic. However... If you want a truly great Esther Phillips Disco record, you gotta follow her over to Mercury.

JSngry Posted September 11, 2016 Report Posted September 11, 2016 The Urbie Green is what it is, but as far as that goes, it is a very good what it is. Just don't have any hope that it's going to be anything else. Quote

They were making such rotten records at the time I didn't reckon these would be any good. But this is much more straightforward than her Kudu albums, which are trying a little too deliberately to be eccentric and terribly hip. Though you can't ever deny the power of her voice. Glad to have heard this, now. Will have to look for the Mercury material. MG Quote
