Leeway Posted February 2, 2014 Report Posted February 2, 2014 Lee Morgan: Search for the New Land (BN/King) I love the title track and the way it leads off the album. Quote
jeffcrom Posted February 2, 2014 Report Posted February 2, 2014 Jack DeJohnette's Directions - Cosmic Chicken (Prestige). One of those nice noisy green-label pressings. DeJohnette did better as leader later, but I'm enjoying this one. Quote

DeJohnette did better as leader later, but I'm enjoying this one. Must have been one of those moments when time had run out and someone screamed 'For god's sake, what shall we call it? Think of a name! Anything!' Quote

paul secor Posted February 2, 2014 Report Posted February 2, 2014 Lee Morgan: Search for the New Land (BN/King) I love the title track and the way it leads off the album. Listening to this one reminded me to listen past the Blue Note/hard bop formula (though the title track doesn't fall into that bag) and listen to the music/solos. That's been a problem for me at times in the past. Quote
mjazzg Posted February 2, 2014 Report Posted February 2, 2014 Keith Tippett, Michel Pilz, Paul Rogers, Jean-Noel Cognard. Quartet and various combinations over 4 LPs on Bloc Thyristors today's arrival. First LP sounding great Thanks for noting this. I got a copy from Soundohm as per your suggestion. Arrived very promptly. Music here seems very fine. I do like bass clarinet. Plenty of listening to had here. Packaging of this set is deluxe! Pleased you got it it. It's well worth it. I actually received a second set by mistake last week and wondered when I posted it on if it might be for you as it went north of the border Quote

Leeway Posted February 2, 2014 Report Posted February 2, 2014 (edited) Lee Morgan: Search for the New Land (BN/King) I love the title track and the way it leads off the album. Listening to this one reminded me to listen past the Blue Note/hard bop formula (though the title track doesn't fall into that bag) and listen to the music/solos. That's been a problem for me at times in the past. Yes, I can understand that. That's why I like that on this album they went with the more adventurous title track, and opening with that (instead of a boogaloo) was perhaps a statement of sorts. Plus it's a beautiful piece. Art Blakey, Lee Morgan, Curtis Fuller John Gilmore, John Hicks, Victor Sproles. Limelight Japan LP. AFAIK, this is the only LP with Blakey and Gilmore (aside from a Limelight 7"). It's a nice date. EDIT: I was thinking Blakey leader dates, but "Blowing Into Chicago" brings them together. Edited February 3, 2014 by Leeway Quote

jeffcrom Posted February 3, 2014 Report Posted February 3, 2014 Gil Evans - Priestess (Antilles). I'm in weird place mentally. I usually listen to (or play) music in the evenings. But I like football well enough that tonight I watched three and a half hours of increasingly boring television; now I feel disoriented and not quite myself. This is the album I chose to restore my mental equilibrium. Good choice - although it's far from Evans' best album, I've loved it since it came out in 1983. Billy Harper's "Priestess" is such a moving tune, and it's enhanced by Evans' scoring and great solos. Is this the best Dave Sanborn ever played? Quote
colinmce Posted February 3, 2014 Report Posted February 3, 2014 Haven't heard that one, but he plays pretty well on Tim Berne's Mostly Hemphill. Quote
jeffcrom Posted February 3, 2014 Report Posted February 3, 2014 Slavic Soul Party - New York Underground Tapes (Barbes). Matt Moran's hot Balkan brass band. Quote

This prompted me to dust mine off and give it an airing. Quote
JSngry Posted February 3, 2014 Report Posted February 3, 2014 If Bud Hobgood could've produced instead of Creed Taylor, we might well be looking at another Soul On Top mini-masterpiece. Instead we're looking at a frustratingly clipped collection of brilliant moments whose wings get clipped just when they're ready to really take off and soar. But those moments...they are here. Oliver Nelson WTF? moments, Charlie Mariano solo moment(s?), Irene Reid hitting it just right moments, they're all here. Quote
