Percy tracks are #2, Honey Boy, #7 Percy Speaks, #11, Who's Who (Clifford Scott is the second soloist) and #12, Early Bird. Thanks for that clarification. The only info I had was what accompanies the posted video on YouTube. Quote

Larry Kart Posted February 18, 2020 Report Posted February 18, 2020 Something of a sleeper, this is a terrific date for both Al and Brookmeyer. Sparky rhythm section (Mose Allison, Teddy Kotick, Nick Stabulus) is a plus. Quote

HutchFan Posted February 18, 2020 Report Posted February 18, 2020 Ted Curson's Pop Wine is the topic of Monday's entry on my 70s jazz blog. Unfortunately, I got caught up in the listening & writing and didn't realize how late it was. So I didn't publish it until 12:02am on Tuesday. Argh! Oh well. No Monday post. Two posts on Tuesday then. Quote

Perhaps...his harmonic machinations are clever, certainly, but perhaps too much of a good thing too often and for too long? Eventually the math shows thorough and the charm diminishes. No disrespect to the man, he's certainly a proven and respectable quantity, But he doesn't always set his hook when this fish nibbles, and I usually throw the hook, if not immediately, then eventually.

Gheorghe Posted February 18, 2020 Report Posted February 18, 2020 This together with "The Incredible Guitar" was my ticket to the Wonderful sounds of Wes Montgomery. I also have the great "Full House" live at Tsubo . Quote

I still love it very much . Bud Powell's recordings at the GC, are among my favorite trio recordings ever. I prefer these recordings over his BN and Verve and not just because these are live recordings. Quote
JSngry Posted February 18, 2020 Author Report Posted February 18, 2020 Talk about niche music...especially after reading Ned Rorem's fascinating liner notes...apparently there was an entire world going on that only a very few people knew about? Some of this stuff is better than some other, but there are some really interesting things here. Quote
Justin V Posted February 18, 2020 Report Posted February 18, 2020 Disc 6: I bought 3 out of the 7 discs from a member here for $18 a couple of years ago. I'm glad that I have some of the set, but I don't know if I'd spring for the whole thing when there is so much other Bird out there in higher fidelity. Quote
duaneiac Posted February 18, 2020 Report Posted February 18, 2020 Joining Mr. Earland at this 1997 concert were Jimmy McGriff, Johnny Hammond Smith, Dr. Lonnie Smith, Jim Rotondi, Eric Alexander, Frank Catalano and more. The stand out track for me is Mr. Earland's romp through his classic "I Love You More Today Than Yesterday". That never gets old for me. Quote
JSngry Posted February 18, 2020 Author Report Posted February 18, 2020 There are things on here that you just gotta wonder, how the fuck did THAT (whatever it is) happen? And plenty more where you don't. But those where you do Quote
JSngry Posted February 18, 2020 Author Report Posted February 18, 2020 This one has a really blues-y violin solo. This is LA ca. 1959, what are the odds it would be Don "Sugarcane" Harris? Quote
