I have this record but haven't spun it in a long while. I look at this cover and remember that when I initially saw it while flipping through the bins, I thought it had an egg on the cover.

I sort of did too, when I first saw it, but I'm glad Jim S. recommended it to me it is a nice date.

 

Me too.

Frank Foster & Frank Wess - Frankly Speaking (Concord, 1985)

This arrow hit the bullseye.

 

[HutchFan]

More Foster & Wess, but further back in time:

Recorded in 1956 and 1957

Interesting instrumentation on most cuts:  Two saxes, two trombones (Benny Powell & Henry Coker) and no pianist.  The rhythm section cooks just fine though.  Not a surprise given the players -- Kenny Burrell, Eddie Jones & Kenny Clarke.

I wonder if the pianist was a no-show... or if they were intentionally going for a lighter "West Coast" sound à la Mulligan & Baker.  The author of the liner notes doesn't say anything about it.

It's worth a listen. Bass sound is very 80s but drums, obviously, and woodwinds are strong. Bizarre vocal on 'Fever'

Oh yeah, I also purchased this shortly after it came out. I think I bought it during an open air jazz festival were they sold records during intermission. They had more obscure labels, like this one.

That great group ! And maybe this was the beginning of Shepps return from totally free to more straight ahead forms like "Blues for Donald Duck"

Yeah, indeed an excellent album. For what it's worth Shepp was playing straight-ahead throughout his career, left and right/up and down, and most of his LPs include at least one tune in a more standard vein.

Look at that old digital watch - it's huge. I wonder if it's one of those red LED watches where you have to push the button to turn it on or an early LCD where there was a button to turn on a light behind it?

My guess would be latter.

Yeah, I remember how digital watches kept getting bigger and BIGGER.  Eventually, lots of them had calculators with full numerical keypads built in.  Man, they were so ugly.  ... MUCH worse than the one Paquito's wearing.

 

Now spinning:
