Jimmy Smith “Cool Blues” Blue Note RVG Edition cd

6bbc428936cb9ce8348eeba4d2aea0c4978ea5b9

Despite the complaints many raise against RVG Edition cds I find quite a few that sound really nice at least to me on my system–this is one of them. Great music here!

Alto Saxophone – Lou Donaldson (tracks: 1 to 6)
Drums – Art Blakey or Donald Bailey
Guitar – Eddie McFadden
Organ – Jimmy Smith
Tenor Saxophone – Tina Brooks

Recorded live on mono at Small’s Paradise, New York City on April 7, 1958.

Remastered in 2001. All transfers from the analog tapes to digital were made at 24-bit resolution. The original CD issue on this material (B2-84441) contained pitch errors that have since been corrected.

Adonis Rose Quintet – Song For Donise

I generally find that I enjoy the drummer led Young Lions records more than leader dates by the horns. Something about how foregrounding the rhythm smooths out some of the issues that plague the period. I enjoy this record. 

One person who always confuses me is Tim Warfield. On this album and others he seems to come up with odd measures that don't fit into the bars properly. I never understood why someone like Payton had him around but then I am not a musician and perhaps there is something admirable there.

Does anyone know the story of Brown leaving the Jazz Messengers in 1982? Most on-line stories say it was due to arthritis, which I can understand as I have just a touch of it in my left wrist and it can be painful. But Brown went on to teach at various schools and record 20+ albums, including quite a few live dates which would indicate that live performance was not an issue. Were Blakey's charts just too much for his arthritis?
