It's one of the few sets where I really don't mind the fact that there are four takes of the same track on it. That's a good call I'd also add a vote for Peter Brötzmann's two sets '3 Nights In Oslo' and 'Long Story Short' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmonahan Posted April 21 Report Share Posted April 21 Tough call, but I think I agree with those who've listed the Basie Live Roulette set on Mosaic. That said, the Savory set........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Face of the Bass Posted April 21 Report Share Posted April 21 I actually think the Miles Blackhawk sets are underrated. Other than the Plugged Nickel box, it's probably the live Miles I prefer the most, at least from his pre-electric era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. Not familiar with this, has it ever been released publicly? What’s the line up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget trying to get a copy… I found it pretty much impossible. It was very limited and you had to be a LAJI member to order it. I tried joining just to get it but no matter what I tried, I could not get that sucker into my cart to check out. I gave up, figuring some day they’ll offer it as a download. 😀😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is well comparable to Eric Dolphy, in my opinion. Yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mhatta Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 I think Bill Evans's final live box sets, such as Consecration, recorded just before his death, were valuable in that they highlighted the essence of Evans as a musician -- fundamentally the Bud Powell successor, not a lyrical cocktail pianist. Obviously he was very ill, but It is like a supernova just before it explodes, or a great meteorite just before it burns out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
