Rooster_Ties Posted January 10, 2022 Report Posted January 10, 2022 (edited) Just noticed that Dusty Groove has a used copy of this CD now at least, for just $6.99 — a wonderful near total remake of Don Cherry’s “Complete Communion” with Varner’s French horn(!) replacing Cherry’s pocket trumpet — with other Don Cherry tunes. Same instrumentation basically otherwise, with an added guitar. Really a fine date, and not one I’ve seen used too often… https://www.dustygroove.com/item/662939 Can anyone else vouch for this date? I’ve enjoyed my copy for a good 20 years, iirc. PS: Not super pricy normally I guess, at least based on discog’s sales history stats… Lowest: $5.68 Median: $9.05 Highest: $14.77 https://www.discogs.com/release/5531115-Tom-Varner-Second-Communion PS: there are also several copies available from sellers on Discogs — including a few fairly inexpensive ones.

JSngry Posted January 10, 2022 Report Posted January 10, 2022 I've always liked Tom Varner Don't know this record, but no reason to not check it out. Quote
felser Posted January 10, 2022 Report Posted January 10, 2022 (edited) Sounds fun! Just now found one buried in one of those ebay "you choose" multi-title listings (for "smooth jazz", LOL). Will report back after I receive and listen. Edited January 10, 2022 by felser Quote
colinmce Posted January 10, 2022 Report Posted January 10, 2022 Very good record, as his Swimming, also on OmniTone. Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted January 10, 2022 Author Report Posted January 10, 2022 (edited) A good and informative review here. I’d forgotten who all was on this date… https://www.allmusic.com/album/second-communion-mw0000220623 French Horn, Producer, Arranged By, Liner Notes – Tom Varner Tenor Saxophone – Tony Malaby Bass – Cameron Brown Drums, Percussion – Matt Wilson Guitar – Pete McCann Cornet – Dave Ballou (3 tracks only) Edited January 10, 2022 by Rooster_Ties Quote
JSngry Posted January 10, 2022 Report Posted January 10, 2022 OmniTone was(?) an interesting label. Quote

Ken Dryden Posted January 10, 2022 Report Posted January 10, 2022 I was sent this CD when it was released, I agree with David Adler's review. Quote
