JSngry Posted August 17, 2019 Author Report Posted August 17, 2019 A pairing of Sure 'Nuff and Black On Black. The former is pleasant enough, but the latter, with Rusty Bryant & Melvin Sparks both in fine form, definitely encourages and rewards a much fuller engagement. Quote

Great little time-capsule film - priceless. Particularly enjoyed seeing footage of Ed Thigpen’s ‘Action-Reaction’ and Dannie Richmond in action. Dig Jack Walrath’s suit !

JSngry Posted August 17, 2019 Author Report Posted August 17, 2019 Sonny Red so far up in Joe Henderson's stuff it ain't even questionable! Quote

How's the sound quality and overall performance on this one? Looked at it in the past, and the all-standards repertoire was offputting. Quote

Looked at it in the past, and the all-standards repertoire was offputting. It's fine, you can hear all the notes and all the instruments and nothing detracts from that except maybe crowd noise, and the sound qulaity there is goo too. Performance? Iit's a gig, no doubt a so-called "casual", meaning that somebody gets a gig, they call cats up to make it, and then they all show up and play a common repertoire that is familiar to everybody there, players and audience, no rehearsal needed. There are people who might listen to this and say, well, I was expecting better, and to them I say, why? Based on what? It was a gig, a one-off, not meant to be recorded. It's not the type of thing you listen to for bedazzlement, it's the type of thing you listen to to hear people play a gig. If that's not anything like what you want to hear, stay away, because that's all it is. As such, by those standards, there are as many pluses as there are minuses by other standards (puns not intended, but unavoidable). But it's always entertaining to me to hear Sonny Red, one of those guys who seemed to have been in a perpetual state of "getting it together". Here, he's rambunctiously under the spell of Joe Henderson, and for me, it's a gas to hear that thing going on on this record, one more chapter in the ever-wandering saga of Sonny Redd. Quote
