ralphie_boy Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 (edited) Looking for this one and I don't want to go for the Japanese version. Anyone have a domestic copy that they're willing to part with or know the whereabouts of one? Edited April 29, 2004 by ralphie_boy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relyles Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 (edited) Are you sure there was a domestic reissue on CD? I have the Japanese version. I checked a couple of my usually reliable sources and none of them even list a domestic version. According to AMG the only CD reissue was by Denon, which I believe is the Japanese reissue.

Kevin Bresnahan Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 There was not a domestic version. I looked for this session on CD for a long time. I jumped on this Japanese version when it came out. I paid a lot but it is a good one. Later, Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relyles Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 Bill Barron is a favorite of mine. I have every recording released under his name as a leader and I love them all. By coincidence I just discovered this Bill Barron discography on the internet that was compiled by the always reliable Michael Fitzgerald. Bill Barron Discography. Now if I could just locate copies of the private recordings and radio broadcasts identified I could complete my collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a very good one featuring two strong underrecognized tenors. I saw one listed on half.com for about $35, which I would recommend you jump on.

jazzbo Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 (edited) Well, there was a domestic lp! Or two or three, actually! Edited April 29, 2004 by jazzbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphie_boy Posted April 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 Well, there was a domestic lp! Or two or three, actually! I wouldn't mind a nice vinyl copy. I bet it would cost more that the Japan CD though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Bresnahan Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 I was listening to Barron's "Hot Line" this morning on the way to work and I was once again reminded at how much I dig this date. Barron has such a unique sound to my ears. I just can't pin it down. He has that way of bending notes like a cat mewing a la Dexter Gordon (which could probably be described as the "Lester Young School") but he seems to twist the sound a certain way. One of the things I like the most is that Barron seems to get Booker Ervin to modify his usual solo style on a couple of tunes. Yeah, Booker gets stuck in his patented crying mode but he also does some unusual (for him) twisting around the beat, particualrly on the opening tune, "Bill's Boogie". It's a very nice tune. I assume this date takes place very early on in brother Kenny's career because Bill doesn't give Kenny a whole lot of solo space and, is it me, or does the piano sound "off"? Of the other two rhythm players, for some reason I dig Larry Ridley's playing more than anyone. This may go down in history... I actually dig the bass player more than the piano or drummer. Andrew Cyrille seems to be a time-keeper here. Not a lot of accents and very little in the way of soloing. Anyway, Savoy should get this date out there for everyone to hear. It's definitely a good one. Later, kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertrand Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 According to Mike Fitzgerald's KB discography, this is his seventh recording session. Bertrand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesForBartok Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Barron has such a unique sound to my ears. I just can't pin it down. I always thought his sound was a little like Coltrane's 56/57 sound right before the "sheets" period. Could be that Philadelphia connection. Anyone else hear this?
