I didn’t knew there was a cd release of that. I got both volumes on vinyl. Essential Max Roach :)

Bob Dylan “Bootleg Series Vol. 17: Fragments” disc Five. This set was released Friday last week.

 

 

I’m reverently, slowly going through this box set. I listened to the first disc, the remix of the album “Time out of Mind” itself, twice, and now I’m listening to the final disc, which is material I already have from Vol.8, “Tell Tale Signs” (and LOVE).

“Time out of Mind” is the album that rekindled both my interest in earlier Dylan and the new blues-based material he created going forward. It’s music that really resonates in my mind and heart, and falls within the type of music I can play myself.

Ben Webster “Live At The Haarlemse Jazzclub” Timeless Records/Solid Records Japan cd 2022

 

 

That unique sound of Ben Webster’s horn is making the snow falling gently in front of my window. . . seem warmer.

With Tete on piano, from 1972.

I must have this. I have looked for it for 45 years !!! 
Because I heard THIS Band and THEIR version of Round Midnight, as much as I remember it starts in 3/4 time and then gets into a very fast and powerful proceeding. Since it was 45 years ago I don´t remember on which bar it changed from 3/4 to fast 4/4. But it was the highlight of the evening and that first live experience with Roach remained one of my most impressive moments of listening to live jazz, and of Max Roach anyway (everything that came after that, didn´t give me the same fascination like the Bridgewater-Harper-Workman band....

It was mentioned in the liner notes of one of his early Verve LPs, which was strange because almost never an other label is mentioned in liner notes for one certain label. But I think I remember he cited "Xanadu". 
During that time I never had heard the word "Xanadu" and had thought that it means "Canada" in another to me unknown language 🤣

I finally got that album in Basel (then in the 70´s the Orient-Express went Bucharest-Paris and stopped in Basel. I got the Bud Powell Xanadu at a record shop in the fancy historic center of Basel, AND in a book store the book "Ira Gitler-Jazz Masters of the 40´s ". It was like heaven on earth to have those to treasures as a young boy. 

The Xanadu LP is a sampler of different recordings. 
I think it started with Johnny Griffin -Bud Powell as a duet without bass or drums, but later I discovered, that the recorrding date is completly wrong, because Griff never had been in Paris in 1960.

The other sides , I like especially those with Barney Wilen since Bud always sounded greatest when he played with a topnotch horn player. Especially "Autumn in Paris" really moved me. 

On Side B I think there is a set that features "Crossin the Channel" (from "The Scene Changes"), and a fantastic "Sweet and Lovely" and the best "Johns Abbey I ever heard. This is the best I remember from that "Xanadu" (in my case aka "Canada") album😀
