Sonny Rollins plays for Bird is quite interesting. It´s not trying to copy Bird, but a very individual thing, mostly standards that Bird played , not originals (with the exception of "My Little Suede Shows).

German reissue, early 2000s. Absolute garbage - half the band sound as though they are playing their parts from the washroom.

When are Rearward going to get round to their planned reissue of this one?

After I am done withn testing my new bedroom system with single tracks, it's back to the living room with LPs:

Contrary to the times when I purchased that album immediately after release, when I liked it very much, Carter's twangy tone with the unpleasant pickup sound now gets on my nerves. I'm close to putting this into the "for sale" box. It's even worse with the follow up studio LP, which has a rather muddy sound. My hearing has changed, but this is almost unbearable. Robert Freedman's woodwind writing is great, though.

Next, Ian Carr. I notice how much my ow musical ideas were inspired by this as I have listened to it many, many times. But as then, I find the themes are rather artficiial, honed in long sessions at the keyboard figuring out chord changes and melodic figurations. German critic Ulrich Ohlshausen's comment was that the Britisj jazzrock bands played that style better than Miles Davis himself. Oh well .......

 Next, Arnett Cobb. This is the only LP compilimg all of his Okeh/Epic 45s. It took me a long time to find it. Too bad Chronological Classics did not reach this period.

LP1 "I Talk With The Spirits"

I love how this edition sounds. So pleased I was extravagant on New Years Eve (no alcohol involved whatsoever :ph34r:)

Much better sound than original Limelight LPs.
