jazzbo Posted March 22, 2023 Report Posted March 22, 2023 I haven't done much listening because I was waiting for my new DAC to be delivered and as it was supposed to arrive on Sunday I took my modded DAC out of the main system and moved it into the headphone system, and that stock DAC I packed up as it was to be traded in for the new one. (All three are PS Audio DirectStream DSD DACs, one the original I bought, stock, another one modded with upgraded transformers and an outboard power supply for the analog board, and this third one the Mk2 version just released). Well, although it was loaded and out for delivery Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, each day at about five p.m. there was an "Operational Delay" and it was rescheduled for the next day. I guess I should be lucky that it got here today. It sounds great. Right now, playing again, Wynton Marsalis "Blue Interlude" Columbia cd Quote
HutchFan Posted March 22, 2023 Report Posted March 22, 2023 Now listening to Earl Hines: Recorded in 1972, Tour de Force is top-shelf Hines, IMO. It seems like he make about a thousand records in the Seventies, and most of them are solo -- like this one. Obviously, some of his albums are better than others, but I haven't heard even one that's forgettable. Quote
jazzbo Posted March 22, 2023 Report Posted March 22, 2023 Joe Williams "Live" Fantasy/OJC cd. A good one with Cannon and his band. Quote

The rhythm section was Corea, Holland & Williams and Chick looked scared all night. Quote

He tried to come on to my wife; told her she was an "old soul." Clearly it was a line that had worked for him before, but she was just amused. Quote

The rhythm section was Corea, Holland & Williams and Chick looked scared all night. Fine memory. I also loved "Filles de Kilimanjaro" which was like a "treasure" among us youngsters in the early 70´s . I would have been too young to see the band with Dave Holland and Chick Corea, the first band I saw was with Dave Liebman, Mtume, Al Foster etc. But I saw the DVD from the "Bootleg Series" "Lost Quintet" and maybe Chick was scared, as well as Dave Holland. They don´t look relaxed at all on that video. First I thought they intended to "out-Miles" Miles Davis in context with stage behaviour with them angry looks, not even noddin´to the audience when their names was announced. But the music was great. I saw Chick Corea only once , when he sat in with Miles on a tune at some festival gig in the 80s. I think the tune was "Speak!". 9 hours ago, HutchFan said: OJC Wonderful thing. Miles with Monk. And listen how great they sound on "Bemsha Swing", Miles plays that Monk tune with very much love and understanding of Monk´s style. Much more than let´s say "Well You Needn´t" on another record, where he plays the wrong bridge. But it is strange that the version of "Round Midnight" (again with other chords than Monk´s original chords) is played with the "first quintet" . This would have fitted more in the 4 Prestige records of the first quintet (Workin, Relaxin, Cookin, Steamin ). Two weeks ago we played a gig with a name alto saxophonist and when we made the set list and I asked "Round Midnite?" he said, okay, but only if you play the original Monk changes, I don´t want to hear the Miles Changes on it. Easy for me since I never did else but playing the original Monk changes on that tune.... Quote

The title "Odjenar" I think was on the Prestige album "Lee Konitz-Miles Davis", a very very strange album which sounds quite experimental , more like chamber music I think.... I remember my wife had bought it for me, since she saw the names of the musicians and that I might not have it in that combination. But the Title Conception as I remember was on the Prestige Album "Dig", that extended session with Jackie McLean and Sonny Rollins .... it is Miles´ version of that tune, not the original AABA form with 12 bars in the A sections and 8 bars in the bridge and in Db. Miles does the A section, but in C, and it has a unusual form with a pedal point section in it. I usually play the regular AABA form of the tune in Db but out of curiosity once tried the Miles version and ok, you have to take care to keep the unsymmetrical form, but you get it..... Some strange things here. The title "Dig" actually was composed by Jackie Mc Lean (on the chords of Georgia Brown), and I like most the title "Out of Blue" (based on "Get Happy"), very nice to play.... 16 hours ago, Stompin at the Savoy said: I don´t remember if I ever saw that album with that title.
