Leeway Posted July 28, 2014 Report Posted July 28, 2014 ENTER - Fire Orchestra - Rune Grammofon 2LP 3 vocalists singing together and separately against a humongous free orchestra. The LP labels are a solid color with no markings; give the impression that the LP is not moving, which can be a bit dicy when puttering around the TT. You're also not going to be able to refer to Side A or C or whatever; since none of them are marked, one can assume they can be played in any order. Quote

Kevin Bresnahan Posted July 28, 2014 Report Posted July 28, 2014 Joe Henderson - Page One (Music Matters/Blue Note). 33 rpm series. Another perfect-sounding, flat, dead silent Music Matters pressing. I like this one. Quote

I rather like chaotic messes, but this double set is not a chaotic mess; indeed, rather well-behaved really, although there are moments when the big engine gets revved up to satisfying effect. The emphasis has shifted to the vocalists; there is almost a prog rock feeling. I think it's good, even very good, but on first listen, I like Fire! Exit! more; seemed more exciting, more focused. I need to hear this again to ascertain (or not) my initial impressions. There was a lot to listen to here.

Gotta be a matrix # for each side? Yeah, I did look there (habit from RVG days ); there is a pressing number but not clearly a side number. I just think it's one of Mats' little jokes, and serves to emphasize the open nature of the recording. I really think you can play it in any order; the sides strike me as self-contained. The LPs come with a CD, which identifies Parts 1-4, so I suppose that could be used as a guide. BTW, This is not the first time Mats has used blank labels recently, although I can't remember which album it was. Weird optical effect. Quote

Larry Kart Posted July 28, 2014 Report Posted July 28, 2014 "Flute Flight" --Prestige 7124 One side with Herbie Mann, Bobby Jaspar, Joe Puma, Tommy Flanagan, Wendell Marshall, and Bobby Donaldson; other side with Jaspar, Eddie Costa on vibes, Flanagan, Doug Watkins, and Donaldson. I prefer Jaspar to Mann, though Herbie is OK here. Fine solo work from Puma and Costa, and Doug Watkins is in exceptional form, generating tremendous subtle swing by at times anticipating/playing into the next change. I've thought of that as mostly a Paul Chambers move (albeit Freddie Green did it with the old Basie band), but Watkins, a fellow Detroiter of course, is all over it here. It's especially noticeable because his intonation is more precise than Chambers', but then I'm fairly sure that Paul often played "between the cracks" for analogous harmonic/rhythmic reasons. Sessions were produced by "O.C." (i.e. Ozzie Cadena), not Bob Weinstock. Anyone know how often that was the case at Prestige? Quote
jeffcrom Posted July 29, 2014 Report Posted July 29, 2014 Flute Flight, prompted by Larry's post. I found this one a little while back, and like it, too. Sure, Mann was never an improvisational genius, but this is a long way from his Shirtless Rock Guy days. I associate Ozzie Cadena with Savoy, but I have several Prestige albums he produced, including a couple of Willis Jacksons and albums by Curtis Fuller, Bud Freeman, and Roy Haynes. Quote
jeffcrom Posted July 29, 2014 Report Posted July 29, 2014 Later: Larry, your comments on Doug Watkins are especially interesting when you notice how much "Tutti Flutee" on side one (with Wendell Marshall on bass) slows down. Drummer Bobby Donaldson certainly sounds more lively with Watkins on bass. Quote

jeffcrom Posted July 29, 2014 Report Posted July 29, 2014 Paul Barbarin - New Orleans Jamboree (Jazztone). Recorded a couple of weeks before Barbarin's more well-known 1955 Atlantic album. This is nearly as good, hampered only by the fact the the only bass is provided by pianist Lester Santiago's left hand. (Atlantic wisely added Milt Hinton to the band.) And I don't know how widely recognized it is, but clarinetist Willie Humphrey (1900-1994) was a particularly talented and individual improviser. His musical language was, of course, more conservative than Charlie Parker's, but he exhibited a similar flexibility of phrase shapes and lengths, and was at times as unpredictable as Bird. I saw him perform in New Orleans three months before his death - it was pretty great. Marion Brown - Solo Saxophone - (Sweet Earth) Nice one! Quote
Clunky Posted July 29, 2014 Report Posted July 29, 2014 Julius Hemphill Big Band--------------(Elektra Musician) One very long poor track with narration but otherwise some decent moments. Quote
Clunky Posted July 29, 2014 Report Posted July 29, 2014 Jazz West Coast Vol. 3-------( Vogue UK)- ex Pacific Classic cover with a diver coming of the water with a trident and trumpet. Great set of tunes including Too Marvellous for Words by Phil Urso/Bob Burgess - a track which by all accounts hasn't seen too many issues. Quote

Charles Mingus - Presents Charles Mingus [Candid], hardly a chore Re: Curson, The New Thing & The Blue Thing on Atlantic is easy to find and good. The Marge and Futura records are also strong, and the Whynot/Trio LP (Blue Piccolo) is okay. I'm not as big a fan of Plenty of Horn or the Prestige record - they're all right, nice dates, but he hadn't grown into Ted at that point. Quote
