I found an AllAboutJazz review and there are some warning signs for me in there: There are lots of long hot-tempered lines and squealing by Coleman That's exactly the Coleman that doesn't make me excited to spend $25 on two CDs. I know my mileage is very different from others ... 🤐 Try this.... https://shirleyscott.bandcamp.com/album/queen-talk-live-at-the-left-bank?label=2348701163&tab=artists Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Posted April 28, 2023 Report Share Posted April 28, 2023 Maybe this is me and I’ve only listened to one of the CDs so far but this seems more like the George Coleman show more than Shirley Scott; I’m not sure it’s the best pairing.

He’s neither a positive nor a negative. Sonically, this is the weakest part of the recording. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted April 30, 2023 Report Share Posted April 30, 2023 Haven't played the records yet, but Tom Warfield make some imo very astute comments about the dance impulse in these players' music. And me, I like Ernie Andrews. So I'm seeing no downside going into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted April 30, 2023 Report Share Posted April 30, 2023 Ok, I forgot about Bobby Durham. But he's fine except when he does his 2 & 4 thing which he does often enough, but not enough to be a deal breaker. I'd rather it be somebody else, but this a document, not a proposal, right? Otherwise, yeah, almost done with Disc 1 and feeling some love (and as soon as I say that, here comes Fucking Bobby Durham's nonsense again. But as soon as I say that, he stops). Scott is her true self (cf One For Me) and that's nothing but a delight. And there is no George Coleman "squealing". A few altissimo notes, but all in the service of melody and changes. Nothing Eddie Harris wouldn't do, only Eddie had a bit more control over it, like "classical" type control. All told this is a wonderful release for historical reasons (never again think of Shirley Scott as "just" a "Soul Jazz" organist, she was a SOULFUL musician, period) and more importantly, just a damn fun record, period.
