tranemonk Posted February 19, 2023 Report Share Posted February 19, 2023 I really can't find any info about this release other than what's already been posted here. I need a CD release since I don't do vinyl. Anybody got any inside info esp. on the download material? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The implication is that it's Blakey, but it could be cleverly worded so as to be any damn thing, from 5 more hours of Blakey to a 5 hour sampling of other items from the label to Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (Director's Cut), I mean, details please!!!!!!

Eric Posted April 21, 2023 Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 So no trumpet on this one? Are Cook/Morris on all the tracks? Copy suggests Cook is only on one track, on soprano? Or maybe tenor on all tracks but soprano on that one? I guess all will be revealed tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFrank Posted April 22, 2023 Report Share Posted April 22, 2023 I had no idea that Andy Bey ever played/sang with Blakey. Did he do both? Will have to look for that Cookers album. I have them all. David Weiss is occasionally here on Organissimo , too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t imagine a JM record with vocals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted April 23, 2023 Report Share Posted April 23, 2023 Not supposed to, but it is a vocal on a Messengers record! And then there's this, sort of... Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted April 23, 2023 Report Share Posted April 23, 2023 I picked up a copy of the Gearbox LP today at my ‘local’ and the first track, ‘Autumn In New York’, leads off with an Andy Bey vocal. Audio quality sounds fine to me and the club atmosphere is well captured. Apparently the QR download code gives more than 3 hours additional music.

JSngry Posted April 23, 2023 Report Share Posted April 23, 2023 3 hours of what music? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not downloaded yet so no idea what’s there. Update - inner sleeve confirms this is 2 days worth of the Messengers performance at Jazz Workshop, the full performance. The sound is not bad at all - a bit distorted at times but not offputting, the audience presence really adds to the atmosphere. Gearbox have done a really great job with the mastering, all things considered. A highly unusual and unique Blakey release.

tranemonk Posted April 23, 2023 Report Share Posted April 23, 2023 Okay, am I missing something? I know vinyl is the thing behind Record Store Day but I don't recall any jazz release like this, where you can ONLY get 3 bonus hours of digital music from buying a vinyl set... WTF??? 😕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted April 24, 2023 Report Share Posted April 24, 2023 I’ve been looking online and this one seems sold out everywhere. A hard one to find.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTOH I have a hard time believing that all that digital material available to purchasers won't make it into "circulation" if you catch my meaning.

barnaba.siegel Posted April 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2023 I've read reviews on Discogs, some people writing about really raw sound, so I guess it's a "no" for me. And I guess Gearbox had chosen the best stuff for LP, so the downloadable content could be even "more raw". According to this site (https://www.jazzmusicarchives.com/album/art-blakey/live-at-jazz-workshop-1970(live)), the tracks and credits are as following: Â Tracklist Side-A 1. Autumn in New York 2. Falling in Love with Love 3. Just in Time Side-B 1. Round About Midnight 2. East of the Sun (and West Of The Moon) Digital edition track list: 1. On Green Dolphin Street 2. The Theme v.1 3. Wee Dot v.1 4. Round About Midnight 5. The Theme v.2 6. Con Alma 7. Daahoud 8. Somewhere Over The Rainbow 9. A Night In Tunisia 10. It's Only A Paper Moon 11. Autumn In New York 12. Falling In Love With Love 13. Just In Time 14. The Theme v.3 15. Wee Dot v.2 16. East Of The Sun (and West Of The Moon) Line-up/Musicians Art Blakey; drums Andy Bey; piano, vocals Ramon Morris; tenor saxophone Isao Suzuki; double bass Junior Cook; soprano saxophone (track B2) Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felser Posted April 26, 2023 Report Share Posted April 26, 2023 Really backward looking repertoire compared to some of the other Blakey groups from the era, who included Billy Harper, Woody Shaw, Carlos Garnett, Joanne Brackeen, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
