Guest akanalog Posted September 9, 2006 Report Posted September 9, 2006 anyone like this album as a crappy guilty pleasure album? i know steig himself disparages it. and obviously i wish his earlier albums with alias and gomez and hammer were on CD. and as "firefly" is on CTI, i wish many better CTI albums were on CD (like the rest of the joe farrell material) but they aren't, so i am listening to "firefly". first off-i enjoy googie coppola's voice. she has a nice voice and it works well on the album. her song writing is ok too in a late 70s kind of way. second of all, gary king is a dope electric bass player. i think his presence rather than someone like will lee, makes the album move. i don't know. i'm not defending the album. it sucks. my mom enjoyed it when i played it in the car and said it was "chill" which is never a good sign.

Guest akanalog Posted September 9, 2006 Report Posted September 9, 2006 thom jurek has a boner over this album on AMG, which is what piqued my interest originally since it seemed an odd one to excite him. it isn't as good as he thinks, of course...but...... Quote
king ubu Posted September 11, 2006 Report Posted September 11, 2006 I have a CD with some of the Douglas recordings with Hamer and Gomez (who's just on a few cuts of the whole date, I think). It's called "Elephant Hump", can't find a picture of the cover, alas. Quote

It's called "Elephant Hump", can't find a picture of the cover, alas. No wonder, when you are searching for a Douglas recording ..... these were produced by Sonny Lester and first issued on Groove Merchant, and reissued on a Capitol double LP, two cheapo Italian LPs, and then in part on that LRC CD you have - well, at the time Denon manufactured the LRC CDs, so ...... The Steig albums before that were all Sonny Lester produced, and released on Solid State, except for the last one, which was on Blue Note after Liberty had bought that label. They had hip covers, mostly designed by Steig himself: He even painted his wife Judy's legs! Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted September 11, 2006 Report Posted September 11, 2006 Her expression looks about right for a woman being "seduced" by a jazz flautist. Quote
mikeweil Posted September 11, 2006 Report Posted September 11, 2006 Her expression looks about right for a woman being "seduced" by a jazz flautist. Too bad my scanner won't work - I'd love to give you an original size repro of that look! Quote
RonF Posted September 11, 2006 Report Posted September 11, 2006 Her expression looks about right for a woman being "seduced" by a jazz flautist. That appears to be a very strange expression on her face. What could she be thinking? "Dude, are you finished yet?" Quote

Tony Pusey Posted September 14, 2006 Report Posted September 14, 2006 Had a Steig album ( with the Satyrs?) on Warner or Reprise, way back when, cannot for the life of me remember what it sounded like! Also have a flyer for a dance where they played second fiddle ( second flute?) to the Sons of Champlin! Quote
mikeweil Posted September 14, 2006 Report Posted September 14, 2006 That must have been the Jeremy & The Satyrs LP - never saw or heard this one. Quote
RonF Posted September 14, 2006 Report Posted September 14, 2006 That must have been the Jeremy & The Satyrs LP - never saw or heard this one. I had Jeremy and the Satyrs...seems like about 40 years ago. We played What's New with Bill Evans, Eddie Gomez and Marty Morell until the grooves were gone. Quote
mikeweil Posted September 15, 2006 Report Posted September 15, 2006 That must have been the Jeremy & The Satyrs LP - never saw or heard this one. I had Jeremy and the Satyrs...seems like about 40 years ago. Who was in that band, BTW? Quote
Tony Pusey Posted September 15, 2006 Report Posted September 15, 2006 Now that I brought this up, this is an album I would really like to hear again! Quote

I had Jeremy and the Satyrs...seems like about 40 years ago. Who was in that band, BTW? That album is gone - rendered unplayable about 30 years ago. I just checked jeremysteiginfo.com and found this: 1968 Jeremy & The Satyrs Reprise Warren Bernhardt, Adrian Guillery, Donald MacDonald, Eddie Gomez Quote

Exactly. Quote
mikeweil Posted September 18, 2006 Report Posted September 18, 2006 ahem, satyrated? probably from oozing flutes? Exactly. Jeremy's wife Judy certainly was satyrated after so much Howlin' For Judy - see the cover pic above .... Quote
The Rep Posted September 21, 2006 Report Posted September 21, 2006 The first time I encountered Steig was with Art Farmer on Crawl Space and bought Firefly (and still play it) on the strength of it. I know its not deep but parts are such a lovely noise. Quote
DMP Posted September 28, 2006 Report Posted September 28, 2006 Steig's first album - "Flute Fever," on Columbia - was announced as an upcoming release on Collectables a couple years ago, and never actually appeared. It's a fine album - Denny Zeitlan (sic?) on piano - made up of jazz standads like "Blue Seven." That would be worth looking for. Quote
