It was for a short time on a mainstream label called Concorde or so, but I never saw it again. I would like to have it since I heard that they play more Monk tunes here. Strange that on the cover photos all musicians seem to be photographed during that time 1972, but the monk photo seems to be much older. As much as I remember, Monk with the Giants didn´t wear a hat anymore. But he still plays in a very creative manner and seemed to respond enthusiastically to Diz composition "Tour de Force" and "Woody´n You". Have also 2 or 3 more from this group on CD / CDr but here is the sond quality not as good as on the vinyls. Edited July 25, 2023 by jazzcorner more pics Quote

Oh, the Belgrade live set I must have, also for the Dizzy quintet stuff. I had seen the green album "Tour de Force" in a record shop but didn´t buy it since I had some doubts about it: First, in 1969, that George Wein All Star "Giants of Jazz" did not exist, it was a band from the early 70s. And Al Gafa belongs more into another context, he is a leading voice on let´s say "Bahia", Dizzy´s Latin album from the 70´s . The Title "Kush" is a later Diz composition and I don´t think that it was on the "Giants of Jazz" set list. 18 hours ago, optatio said: I have this also, it was in the record store somewhere in the late 70´s or so, or early 80´s .

But nobody knows when it was recorded. 14 hours ago, Pim said: 10 euro’s at amazon…. Now that’s almost what RVG cds used to cost. So it is possible…. One of my very favourite BN albums of the 60´s . I like all those really powerful modern stuff albums they did in that decade, let´s say Wayne Shorter´s "All Seeing Eye", Don Cherry´s "Complete Communion", McCoy Tyner´s album with Joe Henderson, and so on. I never listen to the more easy listening albums they also made, and all those different more obscure organ players that followed after Jimmy Smith´s leaving the label. The only organ I can stand is Larry Young´s , he does not play that typical "Hammond Sound", he plays modal jazz and plays with the guys, the heavy guys like Sam Rivers, Woody Shaw, Joe Henderson and above all Elvin Jones.

sidewinder Posted July 26, 2023 Report Posted July 26, 2023 (edited) Thought this 2LP set looked interesting - everything from Clark/Boland to Placebo. Board member Clifford gets a credit on the inner sleeve. Edited July 26, 2023 by sidewinder Quote
clifford_thornton Posted July 26, 2023 Report Posted July 26, 2023 yeah, I've proofread the notes for a few of Lander's comps. They're all quite fascinating musically and the notes themselves are a real education! Re: Lovens, saw him twice -- once with the Schlippenbach Trio and once with 2X3=5 (Parker/Guy/Lytton/Lovens/Schlippenbach). Both concerts were amazing. Most of my Schlippenbach experiences have been with Lytton or as a solo pianist, but the OG Trio is really on another level. Quote

Dolphy’s flute is a bit far in the mix but part from that sound is pretty good. The vinyl on the other hand…. Man they should be ashamed of themselves asking 40 euros for this. Both records warped, paper scuffed because of the paper sleeves and a very thin sleeve that comes already with ringwear when it’s fresh from the factory. They sell them anyway of course…. First listen to my LP copy. No warp but so far pressing fault causing 4 loud pops on first track and similar on side 2. Certainly looks like quality control were on holiday. What with all the reports of the CD not playing I think streaming is the safest option for this one. The music is great and I don't mind the SQ, it's like being there Quote

Pim Posted July 28, 2023 Report Posted July 28, 2023 (edited) my last Third Man pressing. Paper scuffs , distortion on the trumpet and harmonium. Cheap and thin cardboard sleeve. I’ve been warned but fell for it anyway. And they dare to ask a Tone Poet price for it: 43 euros. Will probably return this and pay a little more for an other pressing.

I had a copy of that one in my hand the other day and in the end I backed off because it looked cheaply made. £35 as well so full Tone Poet pricing. In the end I went for the Belgian Jazz 2LP set and glad that I did. Tone Poet this series isn’t. Quote
