I do agree that the sound is somewhat watered down, but it does not ruin the records for me.
Some people hate RVG and think the piano is out of tune. And then there are the Don Schlitten productions...
Remler's two quartet dates on Concord with D'Earth, Moses and Gomez are hardly MOR. They are quite experimental, IMHO.
Yes, the label tends to run on the conservative side but I would not pigeonhole it as such.
Facebook posts from a Remler expert.
Cisco is apparently a Willis Jackson tune called Gator Whale and not the tune recorded by Pat Martino and later by Emily and Larry Coryell (as Gerry's Blues)
Samba de Orfeo is actually Meditation
So What is actually Moanin'
Again, I have yet to hear the CD but the poster seems reliable.
I mentioned this a while back in another thread. The Patton/Green was recorded, and Uptown records bought it along with about 20 other tapes.
Sunenblick only put out two 2 CDs before he died. I asked him a couple of times about putting out the Patton/Green, but he was always evasive.
We can assume his estate has the tape. How can we go from here?
