felser

PM sent on several titles. I love that era (late 50's ) of jazz, will always tend to overbuy titles from then, much to the benefit of those selling them!

Felser...aka..."human sponge!" pick it up? (I'm ragging ya, John!) Picked up the Bert and the Brookmeyer! (along with six other nice titles). This was a great list - can't resist this sort of stuff!

PM sent on several titles.

Leaving out the Bonus material.... Disc 1 "We Free Kings" Disc 2 "Tubby's Back in Town" Disc 3 "Domino" and "Reeds & Deeds" Disc 4 "Reeds & Deeds" and "Roland Kirk meets Benny Golson" Disc 5 "Kirk in Copenhagen" Disc 6 "Kirk in Copenhagen" Disc 7 "45s" and "Gifts & Messages" Disc 8 "I Talk With the Spirits" Disc 9 "Rip, Rig & Panic" and "Slightly Latin" Disc 10 Quincy Jones and his Orchestra and Quincy Jones Big Band. (Not sure the titles) That's as far as I can describe it... To the best of my knowledge, "Kings","Domino"."Copenhagen","Spirits", and "Rip Rig Panic" have come out on CD, the others haven't (at least domestically). Universal put out the original 6 cut "Copenhagen" album on CD, and the dreaded (on this board) Lonehill put out the whole two discs worth, with additional bonus material.

Yes, both The Ringer and the All-Stars session came out on Polydor. Reiner, thanks, looking forward to the info!

SHIT, forgot about the mosaic, thank you very much for reminding me. Now i'll have to sell "Grand Max" and "Live In Tokyo" when they arrive................... Looks like Grand Max is not part of the mosaic........... It's not. The Mosaic is both volumes of Live at Slugs, the single volume Live in Tokyo, and tons of bonus material, great remastered sound. The Ringer is fabulous. I'm still waiting for CD release of his first as a leader, Charles Tolliver All-Stars, with Gary Bartz,Herbie Hancock, I think Ron Carter and Tony Williams. Anyoen know of any plans for a reissue of that?

The album I really like Jane Getz on is the Mingus one she did with Clifford Jordan, though I know her stay with Mingus was stormy and short-lived. I agree she's not really the right pianist for the Sanders date. That to me is an odd album anyways, can't quite make up it's mind what it wants to be, though I do pull it out and play it once in a while.

As per the Sandersish theme of this thread: amen. I'm with you all the way, and I believe. The ugly reality doesn't diminish the beauty or righteousness of the goal, for reasons I can't expound on here without likely setting off some of the overseas board members (again).

Really? Including the late live stuff (Olatunji)? Yep. The change in his tone by 'Expression' (the album) is painful for me.

I guess we'll take that to mean it's not a favorite of Chuck's.

Chronologically, 'Izipho Zam' (the Strata-East album) actually falls in between 'Tauhid' and 'Karma' (the first two Impulse sets). Anyone know what Sanders was doing in '67 and '68? 'Tauhid' was recorded in '66, and he did not record again as a leader until '69. Not sure at what point he left Trane, but I think of him being there in '66, gone in '67. I've actually learned to appreciate '66 Trane stuff (even some of what Pharoah was doing, sort of), but '67 is still a stretch for me. 'Expression' is the toughest Trane of all for me to listen to.

Pharoah Sanders - Karma (click to buy) This was the 1969 work which defined Sanders. Tom Jurek in the AMG says " After the death of Coltrane, while there were many seeking to make a spiritual music that encompassed his ideas and yearnings while moving forward, no one came up with the goods until Sanders on this 1969 date... There is nothing to describe the exhilaration that is felt when this tune ends...You cannot believe it until you hear it." The album consists mainly of the 33 minute "The Creator Has a Master Plan", the only other cut being the six minute "Colours". The personnel, in addition to Sanders, includes Leon Thomas,James Spaulding, Julius Watkins, Lonnie Liston Smith, Richard Davis, Reggie Workman, Billy Hart, and Nat Bettis. If any of you younger guys aren't familiar with this work, go get it immediately, as it is indisputably (regardless of your opinion of it) a cornerstone of jazz history. We(most of us, anyways. I did.) loved it in it's day. The question I would most like to see discussed is, how has this work, and the kind of work it inspired and pioneered, aged with the passing of time. We're now 37 years down the road, hard as that is to grasp sometimes.

I also higly recommend Jason, based on many past experiences.

I'll take the Gil Evans if available. Please let me know paypal ID. thx.

Yup. Williams joined Miles in May, this album was recorded in September. I have to say that I like One Step Beyond better than this album, both compositionally and performance-wise. "Love and Hate" is really nice, but the blues at the end is kinda ho hum. I haven't listened to this in a while -- looking forward to it. Guy 'One Step Beyond' os also my favorite of the three related recordings (this one and Moncur's 'Evolution' being the other two), and it came first, but this is pretty great. Also not to be missed is McLean's 'Action', which has Hutcherson instead of a pianist, but the other horn is the wonderful Charles Tolliver, who contributes fabulous writing also.
