Coleman was phenomenal in that period. In listening to this record, I was reminded of the many times I managed to see/hear George live. It also reminded me that as great of a tenor player George was/is, that circular breathing thing, which shows up a couple of times on this record, is kinda boring. It was really cool the first time I saw/heard it but by the 2nd or 3rd time, I was more like "eh". He basically does the same thing with it every time. No matter, it doesn't ruin this record at all and George does play his ass off. Higgins is pretty good too. Quote
sidewinder Posted March 25, 2022 Report Posted March 25, 2022 (edited) Yes, the circular breathing technique was very prominent in those gigs. Over 2-3 years I caught several appearances by the Quartet plus two I think by the Octet so he was a frequent visitor (Ronnie Scott was a personal fan I think). Billy Higgins almost seemed like a fixture, as he appeared each time with Cedar Walton’s group as well. Happy days ! The Octet had an interesting lineup. Danny Moore, Mario Riviera plus Frank Strozier on at least one occasion. Not to forget Harold Mabern and Iris Muhammed as well.

Kevin Bresnahan Posted March 25, 2022 Report Posted March 25, 2022 Herb Ellis - softly... but with that feeling (Verve). I have this on a 1981 Japanese pressing. Ellis with Victor Feldman on vibes, Leroy Vinnegar on bass and Ronnie Zito on drums. I haven't spun this in a while. Polite jazz. I'll have to spin something a little more lively after this to wake up. Quote

It's just OK. The funk tune 'Aurora' with the whacka-whacka guitar and electric bass remind me a bit of Sly & the Family Stone. Quote

Kevin Bresnahan Posted March 26, 2022 Report Posted March 26, 2022 Curtis Counce - You get more bounce with Curtis Counce! (Contemporary/Analogue Productions). I've managed to pick up a few of these 33 rpm Analogue Productions LPs over the years and they have all sounded really good. This one is no exception. Nice mellow date. Quote
