Homefromtheforest Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Slint - Spiderland - (Touch & Go, from the boxed set reissue) Classic album; bought the cassette when it was first released way back as I already had the Tweez LP and was a big fan of the Lousville scene eg.squirrelbait, bastro... I just bought the more standard LP/DVD reissue set...it's a pretty funny documentary! Love the interviews with the parents haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 yeah, I had it on CD in high school, then LP, now the boxed set. Saw the doc on screen here in NYC and it is pretty hilarious - Jon Fine from Bitch Magnet was interviewing them afterwards, and the next night I caught Slint play in Brooklyn. Good times.

colinmce Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 I caught them in Chicago, 2005 or 6. It was fantastic. Not much to see, so I just had my eyes closed most of the set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Yeah I skipped that first series of non-ATP reunion shows. Of course by the time I heard them in the mid-90s they were long broken up.

jeffcrom Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 George Adams - Sound Suggestions (ECM). Chosen because I wanted to hear not only George Adams, but Kenny Wheeler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffcrom Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Young Tuxedo Brass Band - Jazz Continues (504). A lot of folks here seem to be fans of the Young Tuxedo's 1958 album Jazz Begins. This is their only other album, from 25 years later. Two members from 1958 were still in the band - alto saxophonist Herman Sherman (now the leader of the band) and trombonist Clement Tervalon. This album is not as sublime as the earlier one, but it's pretty good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjazzg Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 George Adams - Sound Suggestions (ECM). Chosen because I wanted to hear not only George Adams, but Kenny Wheeler.Does George sing on many tracks? I've always struggled with his vocals and have avoided this album just in case. That line-up's sure to deliver though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homefromtheforest Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 I used to own that LP because of Wheeler's presence many years ago but got rid of it because I hardly played it and when I did the music did not really grab me. However I'd be curious to hear it again as it's been 10-15 years since I trimmed it from the collection... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I'd be curious to hear it again as it's been 10-15 years since I trimmed it from the collection... I liked it right away - I've probably had it 30 years. It is an album that makes me understand some folks' qualms about ECM's approach to sound. The rhythm section sounds great - clear and detailed - while the saxophones (Heinz Sauer is the other one) are down in the mix and soft-edged. Not a fatal flaw to me, though - I still like it.

One reviewer said the sound quality was kind of rough. Your thoughts? The tapes came from Tristano's collection, so they're not studio quality but, to me, they're perfectly listenable.
