I finally ordered the Coltrane, and the Dexter, and the Rollins. . . and I hope to pick this Green up at Tower this weekend. I LOVE this session, because of Lateef's presence; he really makes it special for me. I'll grab this remastering just because I really like this one, I don't have the TOCJ and it gives me an excuse to give this special attention again!

Yes, he recorded a bit for Commodore. One LARGE ensemble session, and I THINK (memory is going. . . too much mercury in my fish oil?) a small session or two as well. An amazing pianist and arranger. I appreciate him more and more.

I think the Mel Powell sides are FANTASTIC, and the Sid Catlett sides are a hoot.

I confess to enjoying the new wife of Mariah Carey's ex's videos. . . for obvious reasons.

I think Pink. . . is pretty cool. And she got one of her songs on a car ad. . . that guarantees some rainy day money!

Well Conn, great for you. There are all types of temptations for many things, and I'll never consider myself invulnerable til I have gone down the entire list and "seen it all" and told it all to vade retro. . . for which there is not enough lifetime!

I've done things that I never thought that I would have, and so I'm not going to cast a stone. Temptation can be a powerful thing and no one really knows how they'll act, just how they think or want to act. I do believe though that you pay for your sins, even if it's eventually yourself exacting the tribute . . . .

All this stuff is way over or beside my head! Al, that shitbag has a lot of company. It's sad, but part of the human condition I guess. Best to let them find their own hell in their own time, they will.

I've had this since about five or six months after its release. I love it. It has so many fantastic sessions many to most of which we aren't going to see get separate release for a LOOOOOOONNNNNNGG time. The sound is great. It's exensive, BUT it would mean a nice discount on other items from True Blue. I recommend it.

I think Ed was commenting on the rather teeny tiny itsy bitsy print! I bet he reads fluent French! B)

Brad, I believe that the later material was trio numbers that were on quintet lps, if that is the same release I remember seeing some years ago. . . . All the material should be out on other Blue Note cds from the nineties and 2000s. . . .

I haven't heard the Venus releases.

Man, say this title five times real fast!

We've taken this voyage haven't we?

The Impulse stands apart from all the other stuff I've heard him do as a leader. . . it's different and I really like it.

They are definitely for real. . . I didn't make them up in photoshop! From Blue Note France, available from Dusty Groove et al.

EXACTLY

I'll never forget a response I got back from an old college buddy of mine (now a music professor at Yale) when I sent a tape of these Silver Trio sides to him. He called me up very excited and said "Horace Silver had a left hand from HELL!" I have to agree. the stuff he does with the left hand, especially the rumbling thing he gets going, knocks me out.

I dig him. His sound may be difficult to capture. I have some recordings where he sounds awful, like a bunch of snapping rubber bands. And some where the deep wooden tone is just real and riveting. I've never heard him live. . . .

Look into the Flower. . . .

Grant Green never looked THIS good. . . .

The one that started the thread at Blue Note I believe. . . .Comes with extra forehead buttons too!
