colinmce Posted January 22, 2011 Report Posted January 22, 2011 For those who don't know, a 2-disc set that couples the Royal Roost broadcasts of the BOTC band and the Paris 1949 set w/ Dameron. Not necessarily a legit release I don't think, but I've been needing both those sets for a while and the price is quite right (most copies are $2-3 on Amazon). Quote

GA Russell Posted January 24, 2011 Report Posted January 24, 2011 Caravan: In The Land Of Grey And Pink That was my first prog rock album, summer of '71! I liked it a lot, but their immediately previous album called If I Could Do It All Over Again I liked even more. Quote

BillF Posted January 24, 2011 Report Posted January 24, 2011 (edited) Interesting new altoist! With tune choices from Bud Powell, Monk, Clifford Brown, Rollins and Gigi Gryce, you'd expect Bird to be his primary influence, and while this may be true, there's both pre- and post-Bird influence in his playing - something of Benny Carter in his sound and, in common with so many latter-day altoists, just a hint of dissonance which I suppose derives ultimately from Ornette. He's certainly not an attacking player and, while this might be put down to youthful lack of confidence, he explains his quietness and fondness for the lower register to a decade's playing in New York restaurants and the need not to disturb diners! None of this adds up to cool in the 1950s or West Coast manner, though. So, a distinctive new alto voice. Edited January 25, 2011 by BillF Quote

I liked it a lot, but their immediately previous album called If I Could Do It All Over Again I liked even more. Thanks for the tip! I put on my list for my next Amoeba run. I agree too! Add 'Waterloo Lily' (which has a different but still excellent keyboard player) and you have the three great Caravan records. Be prepared for whimsy, adolescent double-entendres, wonderful tunes, marvellous extended instrumental passages and some very inventive electric bass playing. You can listen to these records just following the bass. After which you'll need the two Hatfield and the North albums and the first two National Health albums!

A Lark Ascending Posted January 24, 2011 Report Posted January 24, 2011 (edited) Thanks for the tips, looks like there's some English pro-rock in my future. One of the nice things about it is that it takes itself less seriously than the better known Prog-rock of the time - there's a sort of Lewis Carroll/Edward Lear feel to it. Yet the instrumental playing is as skilled as anything in the genre. It's a very English approach - eggheadism on the one hand; and then embarrassment about appearing too clever that results in the silliness. Edited January 24, 2011 by A Lark Ascending Quote

It's a very English approach - eggheadism on the one hand; and then embarrassment about appearing too clever that results in the silliness. I always think of the way the English use the term "amusing," not falling down funny but amusing in an enjoyable, fun, understated manner -- if that makes sense. John Banville has written about the use of amusing in some of his novels (yes, I know he's not English, but he's U.K.). So, it would be amusing music they make. Quote
