Chuck Nessa Posted April 3, 2014 Report Posted April 3, 2014 Playing this again...by chance, does anybody know anything further about the trumpeters here, Robert Nagel & Allan Dean? Don't know which is who, but there's a sureness of phrasing on display that is certainly impressive, and immediately appreciated by this listener. The entire ensemble is impressive (as are Schuller's readings), but the trumpet playing is, when it occurs, the final micro-focusing of the lens. Or so it sounds to my ears on these first few listenings. Going back many years, Nagel was a friend of a friend. I will see what I can find. Quote

Sometimes somebody will play something "just so" (not necessarily "better"), and it catches the fancy. Such is the case here. Probably some brain-chemical/neuron path thing, but I'll let scientists concern themselves with that. Me. I got records to play, and not enough time to play them all, at least not at once. Anyway, I listen to this, see Gunther Schuller, hear Ran Blake, make a lot of connections (viable or not, who knows?), and...go on to the next one, eventually. Quote

clifford_thornton Posted April 4, 2014 Report Posted April 4, 2014 I really love Seasons. Shame that the original BYG pressing is such utter dogshit. The first LP of the set is particularly wonderful. Quote

Clunky Posted April 5, 2014 Report Posted April 5, 2014 Interesting ex Blue Star date released by Emarcy as a 10inch LP, good bop inflected music with Roger Guerin and Bobby Jaspar. I'm not sure if it's been reissued. The sound of the original LP is adequate only. Quote
