duaneiac Posted April 13, 2021 Report Posted April 13, 2021 Not a jazz album at all, but quite listenable for what it is. "Produced by Sergio Mendes" -- ah, but if that collaboration could have happened back in the 1960's instead of the 1980's, what an album that would have been! Quote

I like that Levy digs into EKE's back-catalog a bit; he doesn't just play the same old same old hits. Walrath's presence is also a plus. What do you think of it? NP: Herbie Hancock - Future Shock (CBS) Not really jazz. But so what? Edited April 13, 2021 by HutchFan Quote

It is a UK original miraculously ! So you were really lucky! Oh and I also wanted to add that Lust for Life was definitely produced by Bowie, who also played keyboards and something else on it, and wrote most of the tracks. And also, contradicting my post, that Lust for Life was prior to The Idiot, and they were both recorded on the same year, 1977. Something I didn't get right the first time around. Quote

I took my daughter with me. She was then 10 and is now 40. Might she end up the last person to have seen Dizzy live? (Poor old Diz departed this world the following year.) I recently took a look at the London concert which is all on YouTube. I couldn't see them that well from my seat in the stalls in Manchester! Stars of the show for me were Roditi and Sandoval whom I saw close up in nearby Wigan in those years. Sensational trumpeters! Quote

Didn't know Vaughan and Nascimento (and Sergio Mendes) had ever collaborated. But you're right: that should have happened in the 60s. Quote

It's excellent, for the very reason you say - many seldom played Ellington pieces with interesting arrangements. Very, very good band, and Jack Walrath is excellent. So too is drummer Jeff Brillinger. I don't know his playing (other than with Woody Herman) but he is perfect for the date, always tasteful and swinging. Quote

I think I've only heard Jeff Brillinger on one record, but it's a doozy: Chet Baker's Broken Wing. 9 minutes ago, BillF said: I took my daughter with me. She was then 10 and is now 40.

Yes sir! Roditi and Sandoval are top-shelf trumpeters/musicians. No doubt! Quote
