JSngry Posted June 2, 2023 Author Report Posted June 2, 2023 The OG Interplay album saw American release and should be easily enough found. if anybody doesn't have it yet. The opening track ("Loco 47" ) still blows my mind and IMO is one of the greatest...anything ever. Quote

Standing out this time is Tommy Potter. Hell, I still love bebop, the real deal, that is. That´s a great statement. I have that album under the title "Dig". "Conception" is a tune I love, but usually I perform it in the original AABA form (12 bars A section, 8 bars the bridge) in Db. The Miles Davis version is a quite assymetric form, and there are different opinions how many bars it has. I heard so many live version of Miles doing it and I think there are more than one occasions where the musicians busted the form a little. "Out of Blue" is very nice, based on "Get Happy" and we love to perform this. And yeah, those old records we bought when we was young always have a certain place in our hearts. 17 hours ago, kh1958 said: Mahmoud Chouki, Live at the 2023 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival (Munck) Pharoah Sanders, Live at Fabrik, Hamburg 1980 Pharoah Sanders has a special importance for me. One of my first LP´s almost 5 decades ago was "Live at the East". I saw Pharoah on more occasions maybe similar to this one (I don´t know that album), and it was similar to Archie Shepp, that during the late 70´s they switched from free to classic quartet, featuring standard material. I love Pharoah´s version of "On A Misty Night". Quote

I especially love Healing Force and Evidence of Things Unseen from that set. Two terrific solo piano outings. Quote

JSngry Posted June 2, 2023 Author Report Posted June 2, 2023 Another Fred Wesley album with Hugh Ragin! Apparently there were several over the years. I've missed all of them... This one is a live date with a totally "straight jazz" program that is totally safe for general audiences, not unlike the Jazz Crusaders Lighthouse records. Ragin eats this stuff alive. The effect is not unlike imagining Charles Tolliver on those Lighthouse records! Quote

Two terrific solo piano outings. Agreed those two solo piano albums are exceptional, they've overall made the biggest impact on me. But there's not a bad one in the lot, and on this present traversal of the box I'm particularly digging Milano Strut with Don Moye (and Pullen playing some organ). Quote

Some young jazz students today seem to re discover "Serpent´s Tooth". It´s interesting how some of Miles´ compositions from those early fifties are mostly bop lines but they have that little "Miles Davis" touch in them, somehow capturing the one or other sound from "Birth of the Cool".

Discogs has no copies for sale, so check CD Japan? As far as I know, it's Japan only. But Chicago should have a source I would think. Maybe not in-store, but locatable for a price. The "+5" cuts are not of the same audio quality and sound like cassette dubs of more than one generation. But hell, Warne is in totally peak form on then, so, you know, fuck "sound quality". This is genius and this is what we have. Thanks Quote
