So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

[Peter Friedman]

Ed Wiley Jr. was a new name to me before I listened to this record.

He has a large soulful tone and he can play!

Before I bring this one back to the shelves I’ll spin it again. Beautiful album!

For “I Have a Dream” . . on MLK day.

 

The first tune (I have a Dream) is partially based on "Darn That Dream" isn´t it ? 
Joe Henderson plays his ass of on "Prisoner".

Interestingly the European Jewel Case edition (issued the same year aka 2006) has a different cover art .... the European Digipak version has the same cover art as the US release .... but great music anyway ....

I´m not sure but I think to remember  it was told that the record companies missed the occasion to record the Monk-Trane collaboration. 
I think I have one that has Monk on a toy car or somethin and it has Trane AND Hawk !  And then I think there was a live recording from a tape that Coltranes wife Naima made. I must have that somewhere, or USB, I think I heard it in the car. And that Carnegie Hall stuff I think it has better sound quality. 
But I didn´t know of other Monk-Trane recordings.

I think this is my favourite of his. The arrangements are particularly great on this one.

Agree about the arrangements .... although I do prefer the harder driving editions with singers Luigi Texador and Tito Gomez it`s great this band had a long and prolific career ....

In from Japan yesterday, and certainly not cheap, but. . . stereo tapes from the Half Note March and April 1965. I’ve never heard these before.
