Yes, I had the old Double Album "Fats Navarro" on that double albums with that hidous brown covers. 
There is also a tune that doesn´t seem to be on the original BN´s . The wonderful Kenny Hagood "I think I´ll go away". 

I had not known the Capitol tracks until I bought this double CD. Capitol was not available in record stores in Viena. 
I only had read about "Stealin´Apples" with Benny Goodman. 
It´s a cute tune with some very fine Fats and I think Benny Goodman did like Fats´ sound ! 

There was a strange remark Fats told and I read it in an Ira Gitler Book . Fats about Goodman "Benny was´nt too cool. He seemed outright corny to me". I didn´t understand the meaning of that then, but as a musican I know what´s cool and what´s corny...

This is about one of the very very few organ I listen to: I listen to "A Date with Jimmy Smith Vol. 1 and 2", Grant Green "I wanna talk about you" (with Larry and Mobley), the two Larry Young albums one with Rivers, one with Henderson and Woody Shaw.... and sometimes very rarely for easy listening I listen to this "Let em roll" because the strange front line of miscellanous instruments : Guitar, Vibes.....no horns.....

I must admit I have not heard much of Don Menza but when I saw him once in Viena he was tops, played tenor, really tough tenor with all them runs and almost like Griffin.....really a surprises....I was sick and inactive then, but now I regret I didn´t play with someone like him.....

My dachshund listening partner is sleepy this morning. After a day of rain there's a still, cool feel to this morning and sitting in front of the stereo is a great way to start the day.

Now playing

I think I have it somewhere in the shelves and listened to it once. 
I think I remember one remark in the liner notes: They put down the  better selling CBS releases like "Homecoming" and so on, and stated that THIS is the real comeback of Dex to the states. 
I really did disagree because the Dexter of the late 70´s until his death was more modern and did more than just straight ahead mainstream, there was much more tension and suspans in it, especially the contrast between Dexter´s relaxed laid back phrasing and the modern, pushing rhythm sections. 
Sure there are topnotch musician on it, Barry Harris was as near to Bud as anyone could be, and to Monk, not only musically, but also in real live. 

I never have heard about Sam Noto. Is it possible, that he didn´t become famous as far away as we are in Europe ? We all know who Blue Mitchell was, but Sam Noto ? Never heard....

[jazzbo]

Sam Noto has a few excellent releases on Xanadu, he was a very decent player.

I think "True Blue" and "Silver Blue" are very satisfying listens--all players are excellent and they are good bebop jam records.

 

Now Playing:

 

Grateful Dead “Friend of the Devils: April 1978” 2024 box set, first show
