Soul Stream Posted May 23, 2005 Report Posted May 23, 2005 Just a reminder...if you haven't listened to any George Braith in a while, do yourself a favor and slip on one of his Blue Note sessions today. It'll bring a smile to your face, warm you heart, tickle your brain and make you tap your foot. That's hard to do! Quote
scottb Posted May 23, 2005 Report Posted May 23, 2005 Just a reminder... BLUE JOHN by John Patton features Braith as well. (My favorite of his playing) Quote
bluesForBartok Posted May 23, 2005 Report Posted May 23, 2005 Listening to Extensions this morning on the way to work. Great stuff! Quote
sidewinder Posted May 23, 2005 Report Posted May 23, 2005 I came across a George Braith CD yesterday on Bellophon, recorded live in NYC. Anyone come across this one? Can't recall what the title was, exactly. Quote

It should be required! Extension is absolutely his Blue Note masterpiece. "Nut City" is a standout for me. George said he wrote it while in Atlantic City...hence the title. Quote

Can't recall what the title was, exactly. ← Probably "Double Your Pleasure - Live at the University of the Street", which came out in 1992 - think I've got this one stashed away somewhere. Quote

Didn't you pick that one up from 'Vinyl West' that day? What's it like? Quote
Aggie87 Posted May 23, 2005 Report Posted May 23, 2005 Yes, that IS where I picked up this disc. Good memory you have (and talking like Yoda, I am!) I have not played this recently, so I'll have to dig it out and give you my impressions later. I don't recall it being a poor recording or anything along those lines, though. Quote
sidewinder Posted May 24, 2005 Report Posted May 24, 2005 Thanks ! I remember this one being in your bundle that afternoon (along with a Coltrane 'Live In Japan Box' if I am not mistaken.. B-) ). Thay are asking £5 for the Braith so I'll more than likely pick it up anyway. Anything with George Braith on the front cover gets my vote. Quote

wolff Posted May 25, 2005 Report Posted May 25, 2005 It's been a while so I've got "Soul Stream" spinning around. Quote
Soul Stream Posted May 25, 2005 Author Report Posted May 25, 2005 Yes, Soul Stream....ahhh....that sounds familiar. Quote
Kalo Posted July 8, 2005 Report Posted July 8, 2005 Just bought The Complete Blue Note Sessions today. Listened to it and liked it; and look forward to more listening... Quote
