duaneiac Posted March 22, 2020 Report Posted March 22, 2020 The first concert presented here marked Lee Konitz's arrival in the band and Mr. Kenton is effusive in his praise of the saxophonist. This version of the band also included Maynard Ferguson, Conte Candoli, Richie Kamuca, Bill Holman, Frank Rosolino, Bill Russo and Sal Salvador. This is the only one of this "Concerts In Miniature" series of CDs I have. The sound is good, but not terrific. Nice but brief liner notes by Kenton scholar/biographer Michael Sparke. Stan Kenton, before giving the band the tempo on "23 Degrees N - 82 Degrees W" here: "Gentlemen -- take my beat and make it yours" Quote

The phrase ‘Jazz is Dead’ reminds me of Ian Carr’s bit on Jazz Britannia Episode 2, where the owner of the Flamingo shouted that out to him across the road as the R&B guys took over. Ian, bless him, repeated the story to me a couple of days after broadcast when I was fortunate enough to chat with him at The Barbican bar. 1 hour ago, mjazzg said: Beautifully sunny Spring day in London requires some summery vibes Amazing clear skies here too.

duaneiac Posted March 22, 2020 Report Posted March 22, 2020 Anybody know when Ron Carter and Tootie Heath most recently recorded together? They sure worked well together here, 59 years ago. Quote
JSngry Posted March 22, 2020 Author Report Posted March 22, 2020 All extant versions of PERFIDIA. Quote
Gheorghe Posted March 22, 2020 Report Posted March 22, 2020 I like all 5 volumes of Bud at the Golden Circle, but this is the best I think. The ultra rapid version of John´s Abbey is a highlight. Most exiting how the tension grows from chorus to chorus. And that rare version of "Old Devil Moon". I don´t know whether Bud played it on other occasions. Quote
