soulpope Posted March 31, 2020 Report Posted March 31, 2020 Thereof the concert with John Coltrane .... Quote
HutchFan Posted March 31, 2020 Report Posted March 31, 2020 More Cannonball today, but I'm mixing in some other stuff too.    Pulled this out to hear Giulini's incandescent Beethoven 7th with the Chicago SO.   4 hours ago, Gheorghe said: Today I´m in a "Dexter´s Mood" and was looking forward to spin this fine record. The wonderful memory here is, that this came out about when I first heard Dexter live and bought it the next day as "his most recent record". Great encounter indeed with Johnny Griffin, whom I had heard the same year shortly before he had his US comeback. Side B is a hit with Eddie Jefferson , and not to forget the nice version of "Ruby My Dear". Dexter in general is not associated much with Monk, but he plays "Ruby" in a very individual manner and makes it sound like a "Gordon Cantata"....... A "Gordon Cantata"! Yeah, Gheorghe!  What a choice phrase. One worth remembering, I think.      Quote

duaneiac Posted March 31, 2020 Report Posted March 31, 2020 It was 1974, so yes, there is electric piano here.  There is also a cover of "Land of Make Believe" and The Jackson 5's "I'll Be There" plus Joe Wilder, Marvin Stamm, Stanley Clarke and horn & string arrangements by Charles Stepney. Not a great album, to be sure.

Justin V Posted April 1, 2020 Report Posted April 1, 2020 Disc 2: I was lucky to find a CD set without a box or giant book for $50 a few years ago. It seems like the CD version is pretty scarce. Quote
HutchFan Posted April 1, 2020 Report Posted April 1, 2020 Fabulous session with Wynton Kelly.   Quote
Gheorghe Posted April 1, 2020 Report Posted April 1, 2020 15 hours ago, soulpope said: All-time fave .... it sure is. Especially those Monk ballads "Ruby My Dear" and "Monks Mood" are great and also live versions of those tunes are great. Also "Thelonious" and "Off Minor". There is also a live recording from about the same period at the Cafe Blue Note with the same personnel, and all those tunes together with an outstanding Version of "Round Midnight" . Some fine "Bud Plays Monk" is also on a Mythic Sounds Album (Tribute to Thelonious). Only that he seems to have difficulties to play "Bemsha Swing" , probably a request from the audience…….. Quote
Justin V Posted April 1, 2020 Report Posted April 1, 2020 Disc 4: Mosaic really outdid themselves with this set. Quote
