soulpope Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Earlier today while at work, I listened to a few tracks from this recording via YouTube. Now I'm at home, and I'm listening to the entire LP. (It's Cobblestone vinyl from '72.) My son just walked by and said, "Hmm, that sounds good." believe that`s always a good experience for "collector" dad .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only ever experience of something like was playing my then ten year old some Cecil Taylor. I asked him what he heard . After listening for several minutes he said that at first it sounded entirely random but he realised there was underlying melody with an ebb/flow. ? He didn't say whether he liked it. My guess was not ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess was not My son is 19 now, home for the summer after his first year of college. He's a guitarist, inspired by Hendrix especially. But he also likes jazz, and his interest in it seems to be growing. My wife likes jazz too. I'm lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Buster Williams playing those grooves on wood does make a difference. And Side 2, all straight-ahead, visual sound stereo jazz, unambiguously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 1967 Gospel from Checker. This guy is not at all a good singer, more than one note and things start getting iffy, but - album supervised by Ralph Bass, and most interestingly, produced, arranged, and mostly written by Sonny Thompson. So the tracks are solid as hell, more than the singing itself would seem to justify. And I swear to god (pun intended), The Dells are singing background on one track here, the "jazzy" Dells. Gotta be a story here, somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta be a story here, somewhere. can`t find the release date of this platter, but must be around 1967 - as the Dells signed with Cadet 1966 and and inter alias became the touring vocal backup group for Ray Charles, it is possible they also were "moonlighting" on the O W Brown release .... their first Cadet LP "There Is" was released in 1967 ......

clifford_thornton Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Enrico Rava "jazz a confronto" (Horo). Never was in a hurry to buy this title over the years but just recently found it for a cheap price. It's good but not nearly as nice as some of his Japo or ECM sessions from the same era. Typically stale Horo production values don't help. I must re listen to Rava's Horo, I recall being very impressed with it. I like it quite a bit.

Homefromtheforest Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 I listened to it again; I still prefer the Japo and ECM material from this vintage Something about the production sort of bugs me...sounds muffled/flat. Oh well different strokes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, 1967 sounds feels exactly right. The Dells are on just one cut, but they're...obvious, if you know what I mean. Those guys would take the gigs, money in the bank. Hits are not guaranteed, session fees are, math FTW, and ideally, both. As it was for them. I love The Dells, truthfully, just as/because The Dells. Weren't but one The Dells, and they were always them. Also of "collector's interest" on this one is the presence of a Chess/Checker Gospel inner sleeve, one side all C.F. Franklin albums, the other,, not C.F. Franklin albums. I've neither seen nor had one of those before, so...very cool "object", and valuable-ish as document, I might think. A lot of gospel music records just get lost/forgotten about, and that is inevitably a distortion of American Music in general, Great Black Music in particular. Inner sleeves like this are that many that won't be completely forgotten, not just yet. But this O.W. Brown cat...not really happening at all, and on a label where pretty much everybody was happening...not sure what that was all about. But...Sonny Thompson!

Clunky Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 John Carisi ---- The New Jazz sound of Show Boat------(Columbia) Guitar 'choir ' plus Phil Woods. Carisi on trumpet. Interesting arrangements but ultimately not really too challenging. Carisi plays delicately but it's the massed guitars you tend to remember.
