Miles Davis “Agharta” Sony Blu-Spec CD2 2023

Have to say this sounds great!

Still thinking of MLK and for some reason this recording aids that.

Yeah, listening to that now. Allen sounds great on tenor! The alto player's also great, but I prefer his clarinet playing to that wild Dolphyesque stuff. The rhythm section is excellent. The guitar player shreds a lot, but I can't play that fast so I can't criticize it. Very enjoyable, turn on YouTube and dig it!

New project for tomorrow

This 2 lp set was issued in 1981 - 2 lps, 2 performances - one studio and one live. Nine years later the cd issue is only the studio version. A 40 year memory thinks the live version was better. I will listen again.

Anyone here have the recordings or an opinion?

The Art Tatum / Buddy DeFranco Quartet

Is this the same material as the Blue Parrot boot?

I only have Art Tatum with Buddy de Franco on Pablo as "Art Tatum Group Masterpieces", I remember there is the rarely played "Deep Night" , a tune from the late ´20s, it´s a wonderful thing that record, though for studies I listen more to Art Tatum solo, mostly for ballads or slow medium. Sometimes folks want me to play a solo piece and it´s good to study some of Tatum´s voicings and left hand treatment for some good solo piece though I´m a group player. But Tatum is a source of inspiration.

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.

wow, I´d like to hear a 15 minutes playing of "I want to Talk about You" . I think the mid 60´s was a point of departure for Trane, he still did play with his original quartet but soon after that he changed the piano chair and drum chair. 

That wonderful tune "I wanna talk about You".....I have the original version by Billy Eckstine, and Coltranes version from the 50´s but don´t have an idea how he would have played it when he was at the point to switch from modal to free,

It's the same record, repackaged under Pablo. 

Certainly a record that puts the lie to the idea (if it is still held) that Tatum was not a group player.
