Indeed, though I must admit that I listen rarely to the earlier 1960/61 Hubbard Albums, I listen much more to the more modal Things he did on the 1964/65 Albums like "Blue Spirit" and "Breaking Point". Not that the earlier Albums are not good, they are fantastic, but it´s still the old hard bop Routine and I love Hubbard most for the stuff he developed after that. Quote

Btw featuring some of Hank Mobley's finest hours .... Quote

I was around for the tail end of that "era"...it was how I got my ass out of Denton and out into the rest of america (and just a teence of Canada)...musically, it was a trip, to put it mildly. "Aspirational" at every level, and believe me, there were a seemingly infinite # of levels...I learned so many lessons doing that circuit for 13 months, and I met my wife too. If i ever do listen to this, it will need to be under adult supervision, adult medication, and adult restraint. Not one or two, but all three, at the same time, for the duration... I don't think I'm ready. I found it to be quite lovely. Lots of atmosphere, as you might imagine... more gauzy than sleazy. You might find this more appealing, though: https://cabinetofcuriosities.bandcamp.com/album/visible-and-invisible-persons-distributed-in-space. Or this, for that matter: https://cabinetofcuriosities.bandcamp.com/album/youre-not-from-around-here. Quote

Gheorghe Posted March 26, 2020 Report Posted March 26, 2020 This is another kind of jazz than what I listen to usually, but indeed very fine chamber jazz , free forms in a very subtile manner. Maybe not for every day listening, but very fine to figure out. The interaction between those three true masters is excellent. But it has also some very hard swingin sections too. Quote

gmonahan Posted March 26, 2020 Report Posted March 26, 2020 The only disappointment in the otherwise splendid Tubby Hayes Complete Fontana set, a bit of commercial schlock. Hayes has a few moments, but this one was obviously included just to keep the set complete: Quote

Hayes has a few moments, but this one was obviously included just to keep the set complete: Commercial yes - but Tubby’s playing is full of lyricism in this set. Definitely worth inclusion IMO. I suspect Jack Baverstock at Fontana was trying to get Tubby some air play on the then-new BBC Radio 2. Probably the morning Jimmy Young programme and its like. The music has that sort of ‘air’ about it. Edited March 26, 2020 by sidewinder Quote

I'd never even heard of Ranelin, but about 15 years ago I spied a used copy of The Time Is Now at Euclid Records, and bought it pretty much based on the cover, instrumentation, and the recording date/location alone. Brilliant date! Quote
