Evidently something just thrown together, but I like the tracks with Lester Bowie and William Parker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul secor Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 Do you know how sometimes you put a recording on the box and the music is just right for the way you're feeling? That's how it was with this one earlier today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gheorghe Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 In general I don´t like to rate albums, since each album is important for it´s one. But in this case I would say, it was the best mainstream-album of 1978, maybe the best Dexter album for CBS and maybe even one of Dexter´s all time best albums. Why? Because it´s done with his own working unit George Cables, Rufus Reis, Eddie Gladden and each of them can be heard soloing. Too many companies had the tendency to grossly overproduce their albums, but this one is just the unit that played live. And as a live set sounds the program, the wonderful versions of Moment´s Notice, As Time Goes By, and Cables´ composition "I told you so": I remember I heard a live version of that tune that run more than 20 de minutes and Dex played soprano and each soloiest played his solo first in bossa, then in swing and then in double tempo swing, I think it was done on July 4th 1978 at Vanguard. What a perfect way to celebrate July 4th !!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clunky Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 Hal Russell ——-NRG Ensemble———(Nessa) prompted to look this out. Vital music, sounding utterly contemporary in the best sense. I recall being hesitant to check Russell out , fearing his music to be in some way forbidding. I couldn’t have been more wrong. It’s immediately engaging stuff which I’d highly recommend.

HutchFan Posted March 30, 2019 Report Share Posted March 30, 2019 I dig Rick Margitza. ... He hasn't made a record as a leader (or co-leader) for more than a decade. I wonder why.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
