I've meant to grab this one for probably 10+ years, but he did this one for Blue Note as well.  The band includes Dave Liebman, Ricky Ford, Lance Bryant, Jimmy Owens, George Cables and Santi Debriano.

 

Yes, I forgot that there were two later Blue Note titles. I just don't think of these more recent Blue Notes as the same record label!

I got this more than one year ago and choosed it for re-listening.

Fantastic music. Above all Woody Shaw´s stuff. Moontrane always was a favourite of mine. So much fire, so good drumming and all are great !

During 'Echoes of Harlem', I asked my daughter who we were listening to and she said she didn't know.  I pointed out the plunger-muted trumpet and asked who used the 'wah-wah' trumpet a lot.  She said, 'Duke.'  She turns 5 next week.

You're raising her right!

Listening to the odd 1991 Capitol cd that uses the stereo cover but has the mono LP and 13 other tracks, and the “Something Cool” album is not in album order, but the songs all mixed up.

That said. . . I like it, and we sure got something cool today here in NE Ohio.

Excellent album, as is the follow up which has Friedman, John Abercrombie, Sonny Fortune, Ralph Towner, Jan Hammer etc.

Yep, I've heard/streamed Exonerated Flea -- but I'll have to pick up the Wounded Bird reissue at some point.

Fine recording - too bad the planned (expanded) compact disc edition was never finished.

I was going to write the liner notes for that edition and did a fair amount of research for that about Joseph's early days (though sources there were sparse and at least one promising source, Hal Mckusick, died before I could talk to him at the length I thought I needed to). But then I had to stop because of problems on my home front, after which  problems developed between myself and Sunnenblick.

I don’t believe I have heard this since it was first released–and it sat in the can a long time til 2014. Very nice recording and an excellent performance.

Is it possibly that he was not very well known over here in Europe ? 
I only heard about his name once, that he was the first choice for playing with Bud at Birdland but after a few days was replaced by J.C. Moses. Since I never had heard Arnold´s drumming I cannot guess what was the reason. On the live albums there is no trace of Arnold, they are all with Moses.

Quite a bio (see wikipedia entry below).  No idea why he was recorded so little:

Horace Emmanuel Arnold, or Horacee Arnold (born September 25, 1937) is an American jazz drummer. He was born in Wayland, Kentucky.

Career[edit]

Arnold first began playing drums in 1957 in Los Angeles while he was in the United States Coast Guard. In 1959, he began performing as "Horacee" when he joined a big band led by David Baker; he also played with Roland Kirk and Charles Mingus that year. In 1960 he became the drummer in a trio with Cecil McBee and Kirk Lightsey.

In the 1960s, he worked in jazz with pianist and composer Hasaan Ibn Ali and Henry Grimes, and in 1964 with the Bud Powell Trio at Birdland). He worked in dance as part of the Alvin Ailey American Dance company on a tour of Asia. Later in the 1960s, he played with Hugh Masekela and Miriam Makeba; following this he studied composition under Heiner Stadler, Hy Gubenick, and classical guitar with Ralph Towner. In 1967 he founded his own ensemble, the Here and Now Company, with Sam Rivers, Karl Berger, Joe Farrell, and Robin Kenyatta.

In the 1970s, Arnold became one of the best-known jazz fusion drummers, playing with Return to Forever, Stan Getz, Archie Shepp, and Billy Harper in addition to releasing two of his own solo albums. Later in the 1970s he formed an ensemble called Colloquium III with Billy Hart and Freddie Waits. In the 1980s Arnold went on to teach at William Paterson College. He worked as a session musician, played with Kenny Burrell, and formed a trio with David Friedman and Anthony Cox.
