Dont know but as a West Coast Jazz collector I liked his music and Contemporary is one of my favorite labels. Missed "A nice day" however and have to look it up at Discogs.

sidewinder Posted May 12, 2022 Report Posted May 12, 2022 Both Pepper Adams and the Tommy Banks Trio are great on this - atmosphere very well captured too. The only negatives are the skimpy booklet and the lack of numbering on my copy. Quote

mjazzg Posted May 13, 2022 Report Posted May 13, 2022 Tumi Mogorosi - Project Elo [Jazzman, UK 2014] New one of the way imminently but this is another example of the great music coming out of SA in the past few years Quote
sidewinder Posted May 13, 2022 Report Posted May 13, 2022 (edited) Really liking this one, Pepper Adams really on form. Good article on ‘Room at the Top’ by Marc Myers on his blog. Must have walked past it at the UofA campus but don’t recall ever going in and can’t recall any jazz gigs there. The Tommy Banks Trio couldn’t have done a better job ! Hopefully Marc Vasey’s tape archive results in more gems like this. Edited May 13, 2022 by sidewinder Quote
HutchFan Posted May 14, 2022 Report Posted May 14, 2022 (edited) Now on my 'table: Various Artists - Singin' the Blues: A Treasury of Great Jazz Singers of the 1930s, '40s, and '50s (MCA, 2 LPs, rel. 1974) Selections previously released on the Decca & Coral labels; issued as part of the "Leonard Feather Series" Edited May 14, 2022 by HutchFan Quote
HutchFan Posted May 14, 2022 Report Posted May 14, 2022 I'm listening to another V.A. compilation: They All Played Bebop (Columbia) LP sides 3 & 4 Excellent "leftovers" from the Henri Renaud-produced I Remember Bebop 2-LP set. I bought this album primarily to hear the four cuts by Al Haig -- but there's also good stuff from Duke Jordan, Jimmy Rowles, John Lewis, and others. Quote
Pim Posted May 14, 2022 Report Posted May 14, 2022 the new Acoustic Sounds edition. I think I heard a tick at 5:35 so will send it back immediately and file a complaint….. *Steve Hoffmann Board Mode off* it sounds freakin great Not at all into male vocals but Hartman has one warm and deep voice. Not a Trane favorite but still: a great record. Quote

Not a Trane favorite but still: a great record. I'm going to skip that one as I really like the sound of the SACD. Plus, as I've said elsewhere, my days of hearing a gnat fart from across the room are well behind me, so I doubt that I'd hear any difference between the two versions. Now playing: David 'Fathead' Newman - Resurgence! (Muse). I picked this up in the recent sale. Sealed and yet still has a slight musty, basement-y smell - weird. I'm not really digging this one a lot. The recording sounds off, particularly on the piano. Oh well, you miss on some. Quote

Got that one too with moisture damage (is it cursed?) and not too fond about it either. You would expect more from a group like that. Quote

Honestly, from my perspective, that line-up isn't "underwhelming." I really like Claudio Roditi and Calvin Hill. And I don't understand why Cecil Bridgewater comes in for so much stick. Obviously, Max liked him. I dug the music -- especially the closing track (the title cut). But it was only my first listen, so it's way too early for me to make any judgments. Quote
