Kevin Bresnahan Posted June 5 Report Posted June 5 Tiny Grimes - Tiny In Swingville (Prestige Swingville). Nice date that... swings. Which is a bit odd given the band, which isn't made up with players typically associated with swing. Quote

It's pretty amazing the results. I've compared the Erroll Garner releases on Columbia and Octave pre-and post-Plangent. The brain just likes the post-Plangent more. . . seems more "real." And that Getz-Gilberto. . . wow. I think more than just the Plangent Process is used, there's a bit of a remix and EQ. . . but wow. Edited June 5 by jazzbo Quote

I still can't believe that it's never been on CD anywhere. Not even the Andorrans touched it. My comment about "Tiny In Swingville" was about the others in the band, not Tiny. Jerome Richardson is not a player I think of when I think swing-style Jazz. Yeah, he swings, but not that kind of swing. Quote

JSngry Posted June 6 Author Report Posted June 6 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerome_Richardson Starting from a young age, he first played alto saxophone, taking Johnny Hodges and Benny Carter as models.[1] By the age of fourteen, he was playing professionally around northern California, and also took up the flute. He studied music at San Francisco State College.[2] While in the navy, he worked under Marshal Royal in the 45-piece regimental band that was attached to the Navy's preflight training school for pilots at St. Mary's College in Moraga, California. After his discharge, he joined Lionel Hampton`s band in 1949 before moving to New York in 1954. IMO, that's a huge difference between them and now. A young guy almost had to learn through osmosis. It was schooling, but it was also regular employment. So when Jerome played lead alto, he was carrying all that backstory with him. Wendell Marshall was with Ellington from 1948-1955! Art Taylor was one of the ORIGINAL sSucar Hill Gang, but if you believe Sonny, those guys were all into the other way until they heard Bird. And even then .. Swing or swing, it was organic in a way then that it's probably not now. It evolved but it didn't stop I mean, hey -Snooky Young. There it is. Quote

T.D. Posted June 6 Report Posted June 6 Homecoming is one of my favorites, too. More upbeat than many Elmo albums. Just noticed: kind of strange that the above 2 covers use the same photo. Quote

In his "Black Mystery School Pianists" essay there's an enigmatic paragraph: I have wrestled with whether Elmo Hope belongs in the group. I am not sure. I go back and forth for different reasons. If he is, a lot of it would be because of his influence on Hasaan Ibn Ali, who is another extreme of an ultimate example of this. Sadly, Shipp doesn't elaborate. [I recalled seeing this passage but it took a while to remember the source. I just reread 2 Hasaan CD booklets, one of which was written by Shipp but does not posit any influence, and got the idea to revisit his famous essay.] Edited June 6 by T.D. Quote

I just reread 2 Hasaan CD booklets, one of which was written by Shipp, and got the idea to revisit his famous essay.] It's been a long time, but the first time I heard Last Sessions (Vol 1) I was not sure it was actually Elmo Hope. Very dark, very percussive, not the Uber Bebop of his earlier work. It reminded me of ..Hassan. Eventually the smoke cleared and I realized that neither the piano nor Elmo were in the best of repair. But that's really neither here nor there. Strong is strong no matter how it gets made. Anybody check out Frank Hewitt? Quote

One of the second, third Hill dates I bought (on CD) and loved how Eddie and Richard interwove around Andrew. A true modern BN classic. Great stuff! 29 minutes ago, dougcrates said: Original LP Wow.
