Well, let's try to get the album of the week thing going again!
I always thought this was a welcome opportunity to listen to some things that may have been in my collection a long time, or to get acquainted with some new stuff, either buying it in time (the Garbarek/Stenson album, for instance), or afterwards (the Louis Armstrong one). Then it's always interesting to read what you guys have to say about some stuff I like/love/hate/don't care etc. Sometimes one's opinion might change with help of what others have to say.
In hoping for a good start, I would suggest to leave this week open (one more doesn't matter too much now), and try to begin coming sunday with this album:
One of my favorite Lee Morgan albums. I ordered it with my first Trueblue package (which was huge, to save customs, and then I was still paying with IMO, so the bigger the package, the fewer the costs...)
I loved it ever since I listened to it first. And if memory serves me right, I only had "The Sidewinder" before, maybe "The Rumproller", too.
I ever since been a fan of Morgan.
Would be great if some of you could chime in, share your opinion on this album, post some short reviews etc - just like the old days B)
For those who did not yet buy this one: Amazon has it with 24hrs delivery (18$, only 5 left)
CDUniverse has it cheaper (14.29$ - quite a good price for a Conn, I think)
Would be a pleasure if AOTW would be rolling again!
And let me nominate Claude for picking the next one - he never had the chance so far.
