Peter Friedman Posted June 29, 2019 Report Posted June 29, 2019 Dave Turner is not well known outside of Canada. But he is a wonderful very very swinging alto player. This CD is highly recommended Quote

Had to quit playing after a serious heart condition. ADD: Peter Friedman, I remain amazed at the breadth of your knowledge, and collection... The sound is barely adequate, but the playing is fine!

Searching for it on Amazon I discovered that there's another recording by them that's not available on cd but which you can stream! Quote

Nelson received instant world-wide fame when Wes Montgomery named Nelson as his favorite guitar player in an interview that's available on you tube. I'll be looking for that Dave turner album with NS, also. Quote
duaneiac Posted June 30, 2019 Report Posted June 30, 2019 Enjoyable performances, with a set list that ranges from the "1812 Overture" to "Someone's Rocking My Dreamboat" (due to early childhood exposure, that is a song I will always hear sung in the voice of Bugs Bunny) to "Bohemian Rhapsody" and since this tour of Japan took place in Dec. of 2000, there are also a few Christmas carols which are a little odd to hear as we approach the 4th of July.

jazzbo Posted June 30, 2019 Report Posted June 30, 2019 Thana Alexa "Ode to Heroes" . . .. This is a very nice debut album by a beautiful singer. Her voice and vocal nimbleness reminds me of Monday Michiru. I learned of her through C.J.'s Facebook page. Quote
Peter Friedman Posted June 30, 2019 Report Posted June 30, 2019 There was interest in the Dave Turner/ Nelson Symonds CD I posted yesterday. So pulled this one off the shelf and just played it. Quote

Ken Dryden Posted June 30, 2019 Report Posted June 30, 2019 (edited) i don't own it, but the one United Archives release I acquired (the Miles Davis set( had audio shortcomings. Edited June 30, 2019 by Ken Dryden Quote

It´s interesting how Diz sounded on the earlier big band stuff and on the 1949 stuff he tried to reach a bigger audience I think, with more vocals and funny tunes like "Hey Pete, let´s eat more meat". And I think it was the first time, I heard that mistery "Metronome All Stars" . Until then I had seen only a picture of that all star summit. Quote
