Not my favorite Mingus for sure. Well I seldom need glasses, but it´s so astonishing similar, the photos. I don´t have much Mal Waldron I think, I have him as Sideman on some older Mingusrecords and on a Max Roach record. And I share your opinion, that Mingus with Friends in Concert is not our favourite. I don´t know what went wrong, but I don´t feel Mingus on it. Even on the standards only "Mingus at Carnegie 1974" with Perdido and C-Jam Blues I hear more Mingus drive than on that strange potpourrie from 1972. 3 minutes ago, Gheorghe said: Well I seldom need glasses, but it´s so astonishing similar, the photos.

Last night I finally had time to listen to a rarity I have purchased recently. It was not a second hand, but still sealed. Very fine music, all of them. It´s very interesting how Hank plays a much more agressive approach than in his earlier records. He sounds very modern, but it is still him, such a great musician, such a great musical personality. I had heard Charles Davis once with the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Big Band, is that possible. He is great on both soprano and bari. A seldom combination. Usually tenor saxophonists take soprano as a second horn. Because both are notated in Bb Quote
Kevin Bresnahan Posted April 14 Posted April 14 Billy Strayhorn - Cue For Saxophone (London). This used to be a tough CD to find but looking at discogs these days, maybe not so much any more. Quote
jazzbo Posted April 15 Posted April 15 Marveling at how wonderful the system sounds this morning. Started off with side 2 of “Ellington Jazz Party in Stereo” Columbia LP. . . the engineering on this is just superb, and with Mr. Five by Five and Dizzy the music just soars, and all that percussion! And now on to Jimmy Smith “The Sermon” Blue Note Japan 85th Anniversary UHQCD Quote
jazzbo Posted April 15 Posted April 15 (edited) The Complete Woody Herman Decca, Mars And MGM Sessions (1943-1954)” Mosaic Records 7 cd set, disc 2 I’m continuing on a revisit of this interesting set of Herman music. Great sound! Listening to this set is reminding me of how much of a clarinet fan I am. My Dad played both clarinet and bass clarinet in high school, and when he married and entered the seminary he sold both and never reacquired or played again. He did listen to a lot of Benny Goodman and Artie Shaw and later I got him interested in Pee Wee Russell. Wish I could have heard him play--he understood music. Edited April 15 by jazzbo Quote
jazzbo Posted April 15 Posted April 15 A more modern big band, live. Kenny Clarke Francy Boland Big Band “The Complete Live Recordings At Ronnie Scott’s February 28th 1969 - Volcano / Rue Chaptal” Rearward cd Quote
