Some very fine Hawk and others - not just an historically rewarding record.

Just picked this up. Sounded damn good in the car. Fine rhythm section -- (Kenny Washington, Peter Washington, Richard Wyands, who just sparkles), RVG sound, and Person and Edwards are in excellent form.

Listened to it all now. Excellent. Each track is "for" a different tenor giant -- Coltrane, Ben Webster, Lester Young, Stan Getz, Coleman Hawkins, Gene Ammons, Dexter Gordon, Lockjaw. Edwards' angular solo on "The Girl From Ipanema" is a particular delight.

Bloody CD-Rs. No liner notes included 😠 I hate to pay full price for such an inferior product. Shame on you, Jazz Records (the label)!

Disc 4.  Overall, I found this set to be better than I anticipated.  There were a couple of duds (in my opinion), mostly in the bonus tracks on The Birth of a Band date.

 CD-Rs? I'm surprised to hear that. That was not the case with mine, tho purchased long ago ...

No liners is/was (family) label policy - reflecting Tristano's opinion that the music spoke for itself.  Q

One of my favorite Al Haig records.  

 

Coincidentally, I'm listening to another trio featuring the same bassist (Jamil Nasser) and drummer (Frank Gant) as heard on that Al Haig record:

[Peter Friedman]

includes many excellent musicians such as Coleman Hawkins, Urbie Green, Charlie Shavers, Milt Hinton, & others.

First appearance on this board for this gentleman? 

 

 

 

Not jazz. Sax on this one is by - can’t remember. Mel Collins is on a couple of his. Where’s Bev to enjoy that reference? 

 

Edited to add: there is one with Wayne Shorter, come to that. A later one has Chick Corea and Ralph Towner. Peter Erskine is drummer on a couple.

 

oh AND... all the Warner titles remastered and reissued this year. On CD, if you remember those. And on vinyl come to that. Fill your boots.
