Is this a later album of Tete ? 

I never new about why he had died. I think he was with Joe Henderson somewhere in the 80´s but I think he didn´t get really old, he might have died to young. What had happened. 

Yes, this album was recorded in October 1996, just ten months before his passing in August 1997, due to lung cancer, at the age of 64. He had recorded another album with Joan Manuel Serrat compositions (plus Catalan trad songs) for the Spanish label Discophon, much earlier in his career, back in 1969. This one:

When he was here in  Viena with Henderson, Joe Henderson and Tete were the only musicians who could play, because the bassist and drummer where so weak it was painful. The rescue came, when Tete whiped the rhythm section to lay out and played only solo, he got the whole rhythm section himself. 
Usually I´m not a fan of duo playing without bass and drums, but on that occasion I wished it would have been, so inadecvat was the bass-drums. 

Yes, he was a character, and very critical and dismissive with weak rhythm sections. He did the same (fire bassist and drummer and keep playing duo with the horn) while playing alongside George Coleman at Ronnie Scotts, very late 70s.

wow, never saw this. Okay, I´m not a special fan of Stanley Turrentine and Eric Gale, but whewwww, Herbie, Freddie, Ron, Jack DeJohnette.........my "best friends" (not really , but for listening and hearing live) so I think I must look for this or give Serena a "pont" to surprise me on some occasion.......

I am lucky I got the best rhythm section in town, but I suffer thousands of death´s if I had to play with bass-drums who are not up to expected standards. 

So Tete was damn right to fire crap players......

I don't know where that cover art came from. All of the ones I've seen have this cover.

Is that as good as it's title and cover art suggest?

👉 Playing a 1966 Pressing of this album from my father. Is it true early pressed analogue pressings beat the AAA pressings of today most of the time ? Damn this sounds fine.

It is actually good, unironically. It is basically a hi fi record but it really pops and is full of big blaring stereoscopic ideas.

I've been exploring studio system jazz records for a month or two now. A lot of them are very dreary corporate affairs, but then you do hit some amazing records sometimes.

TTK is the resident expert of course.

Thanks, I had a quick stream and it did sound interesting

TTK is to be deferred to most definitely

👍 - with Carmell Jones (tp) and Joe Henderson (ts)!

[Kevin Bresnahan]

Conrad Herwig - The Latin Side Of Joe Henderson (Half Note). I do enjoy this one, but then again, with Lovano on tenor & Cuber on bari, how could it be bad?

[jazzbo]

Moody (James Moody) “4A” IPO Records cd

What a trio behind Moody: Kenny Barron, Todd Coolman, Lewis Nash

Still believe that the first "Latin Side Of ...." dealing with John Coltrane was the strongest effort .... or was this music just better suited for "latinisation" 🧐🤔 ....
