I never got to see this band and I still enjoyed the CD. I'm sure you would have an even greater appreciation for it, having experienced this band & their music in person. Quote
jazzbo Posted July 20, 2020 Report Posted July 20, 2020 I spun LPs this morning. Bob Dylan, "Blood on the Tracks" Test Pressing, SONY RSD. Jack Teagarden, "Think Well of Me," Verve Stereo. Love this one. Teagarden and these songs are a great match. Jack Teagarden, "Shades of Night," Capitol, Mono. Backing orchestration is so so but man Jack's trombone! Followed by Flora Purim "500 Miles High, Live at Montreux" Milestone. This one I love, and it always tells me how my system is doing--I've had it in every system I've had since the 'seventies. Quote

The opening cut, Flora's interpretation of "O Cantador," is incredible -- so beautiful, so moving. Edited July 20, 2020 by HutchFan Quote

JSngry Posted July 20, 2020 Author Report Posted July 20, 2020 Very, very intense tenor playing. At times disturbingly intense... Hell, any record that opens with a song called "Pie Crust"...if you grew up in a pie culture, you know what that's about. This ain't your mildly-interesting early Muse Ricky Ford...this is a guy with something going on inside. Quote

You're right -- this is a big step forward from his Muse days, when his playing left me wanting to throw things. Quote

This was recorded in 1999, only a few years after Ford's mother died in the TWA Flight 800 plane crash that also claimed Wayne Shorter's wife, Jon Lucien's daughter and 227 others. She was flying to Paris to visit him. His playing may unintentionally reflect this. Quote

Explore with a modicum of confidence. Quote
