mjazzg Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 Looks an interesting listen notwithstanding the fact that initially I read the thread title as "Dean Martin...". It certainly grabbed my attention 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjazzg Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 A very enjoyable show, thank you. I didn't know the DeJohnette or Mabern so shall be following up on them. Sill no Deano... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bertrand Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 Which Hutcherson piece? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost of miles Posted January 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 9 hours ago, bertrand said: Which Hutcherson piece? “A Time To Go,” from Patterns. James Spaulding wrote it. A bit of a mystery, though—in Michael Cuscuna’s liner notes to the 1980 LP release, he says Spaulding composed it upon hearing of MLK’s assassination. But the CD lists the recording date of the album as March 14, 1968. So either the date’s off, or perhaps Spaulding dedicated/titled it in honor of King after King’s death three weeks later.

bertrand Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 That is why I asked! This has always puzzled me. Maybe it was titled later. Or the date is wrong. There is someone who might have an idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might also message him about it through Facebook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
