Larry Kart Posted October 15, 2022 Report Share Posted October 15, 2022 I think someone else recently mentioned this but I just listened for the first time to this 1961 Riverside album (now OJC) with Thad, Hank, Frank Foster, Frank Wess, and Art Davis. What a gem. Three fine Thad originals — “Lady Luck, “Buzz-At, and "Ray-El." Elvin gets his solo spots, sounds terrific, and is well recorded. Two trio tracks. A very happy co-operative date.

Peter Friedman Posted October 15, 2022 Report Share Posted October 15, 2022 I am completely in agreement with you Larry. Though I don't care for most of the albums with Elvin Jones as leader, This is one I do very much enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmce Posted October 15, 2022 Report Share Posted October 15, 2022 This one made little impression on me when I owned it, so I passed it on. I'm thinking I could give it another chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster_Ties Posted October 15, 2022 Report Share Posted October 15, 2022 I’ve never owned or heard the date — and to be honest, I’m only vaguely aware of the cover, which makes me think I’ve scarcely ever been aware of the date at all. Have to confess that the BN Mosaic is the only Elvin leader dates I’ve ever had, or heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some Vanguard albums waiting for you. The label, not the club. And Heavy Sounds needs to be heard at least once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Late Posted October 15, 2022 Report Share Posted October 15, 2022 Elvin! I think this is one of Riverside's best-recorded albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted October 15, 2022 Report Share Posted October 15, 2022 Have a Japanese LP of this somewhere -- admittedly have always preferred the Blue Notes, Atlantics, and Impulses (not to mention his 70s JP run) but should dig this out to compare.

JSngry Posted October 15, 2022 Report Share Posted October 15, 2022 Oh yeah, those Atlantics are excellent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stompin at the Savoy Posted November 30, 2022 Report Share Posted November 30, 2022 I checked it out on youtube and liked it. The cd is not all that easy to find! Found a cd quality flac file on prestomusic for $7.50. Fun album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
