On Emarcy, no less. Notes by Hall Overton. works very well as a companion album to Friedman's Metamorphosis, an album which seemed too unique to not have a companion somewhere. Well, hereit is. ^ great record. Perhaps a little more rugged -- and in part due to the recording quality -- than Metamorphosis, at least in my opinion.

JSngry Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 I really dig how Barre Phillips/Daniel Humair vs Richard Davis/Joe Chambers is an archetypical Euro/US win--win dichotomy of the flavors this core music could take on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 Â These people in this time/place worked quite well. A few years later, probably not. But this, forward progess for all involved, cooperative forward progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 Leo Smith - Creative Music -1 - (Kabell, US) I've struggled over the years to find a quiet-enough sounding copy of this wonderful solo trumpet, flute and percussion LP. Just bought another that seems to be about as good as one could get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 I had the first issue with the silk screen "feeling" cover and later Leo gave me a new one with a slick cover, saying the sound had been improved. I haven't compared them, though I still have both. Lots of studio time needed to improve this material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 Ah, yeah I've never run into a copy of the silk screen original, though I've heard of its existence. Spoke too soon on this one, as the second side is pretty crackly. Oh well. There's always the Tzadik CD reissue... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 Now: Eddie Bert - Encore - (Savoy, DG red label) fine, fine stuff with Klook, Joe Puma, J.R. Monterose and others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "regular" is on Kabell Records (Kabell 1 - blue label) which of course was (is) Leo Smith's own private label. But the one with the silk screened cover (blank back cover; notes included in a small stapled booklet) is on TMS Records (TMS 1000 - yellow label). Was "TMS" the originally intended name of his label and did he change this for the second pressing, somewhere between 1972 and 1975 (release of Reflectativity), or is there another story? Anyway, I've never been troubled by the pressing quality of either of these. And I love the music very, very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 I always assumed TMS Records was the custom pressing plant and not Smith's label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homefromtheforest Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 J.R.Monterose "s/t" (blue note, Lexington USA). Sonny Clark "leapin and lopin" (blue note, stereo NY USA). A slightly later issue (no "ear") but it sounds excellent and I only paid about $7 for it around 5 years ago!  One of my favorites...

My copy has the TMS label and a Kabell sticker covering up the TMS reference on the cover. There's also a small square of type pasted on the back referencing Kabell. Great music whatever the presentation is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 Yeah, and this was big shit back in the day, all these unreleased alternates.(Jerry Valburn?).Obsolete now, surely, except as an object. Between Lester on the cover and the dog on the label, it's still a keeper here. But you know how a bootleg looks like a bootleg, even the good ones, and how when you find one in a regular store you get a kind of surge of eeirdness, like seeing cleavage in church? Well, yeah, that with this. You know you shouldn't,  but dammed if you won't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first jazz primer book I ever got was full of his stuff too ! His 'Red China Blues' arrangement for Miles was OK.. Wade Marcus did the arrangements for Bobby Hutcherson's one-and-only dud (IMHO, of course), Natural Illusions (Blue Note, 1972).  Even the cover art was bad. . . A red-skinned alien holding up a red lightbulb to a disembodied face? What???  Edited September 9, 2016 by HutchFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
