ghost of miles Posted October 22, 2021 Report Posted October 22, 2021 6 hours ago, JSngry said: Experiencing them all in real time I was relatively enthusiastic about the former, retro tho it was. but when J Moods came out I was like, is this all this guy is going to do, play these emotionally detached attempts at signifying some sort of "attitude" instead of showing some real voice? And then...no he was going do more, but it was certainly less... Part of the appeal of J Moods for me is the group, with Marcus Roberts, Bob Hurst, and Jeff Tain Watts. Not a Wynton expert but I think this was his first outing with that particular lineup.. I just ordered a used copy of Live At Blues Alley, which features the same quartet a few months later. Quote

It was, and I found the whole thing too detached (in the bad way) for my liking. The Blues Alley set is waaaaayyyy too many records, but in small does, Marcus Roberts can get you into thinking that he's into something with his various metric trickeries. But in large(r) does, it's like, ok, what ELSE does he gonna gots here, and the answer is....not much, apparently. Mileages are definitely going to vary on this one, of course, but this period/band was just WAAAAAAYYYY too "cool" for my liking. Like all of the cool of the Plugged Nickel band and none of the heat, like, say, Tony with a flat-line Emotional EQ applied...all them clean suits and ain't nobody sweating. Not that it even matters now, because what hapened even past this kinda speaks for itself if you can call an impotent incoherent roar to be "speaking". But again, mileages may vary. Quote
Kevin Bresnahan Posted October 22, 2021 Report Posted October 22, 2021 Frank Foster & Frank Wess - Frankly Speaking (Concord). The Japanese CD was expensive, so I picked up an LP copy from a discogs seller. The seller listed the artwork as "Mint". Mint? With initials/writing on the back, a smell of cigarettes and faint ring wear on the front cover? Really? Whatever... the LP is mint and that's what really matters. The music is nice so far. Reid is really forward in the mix... too much bass to be honest. Quote
