Forgot about that one. There may be others I've forgotten too. Quote

kh1958 Posted July 17, 2017 Report Posted July 17, 2017 (edited) This past weekend: George Benson, In Concert: Carnegie Hall (CTI). Three songs with prime Benson guitar, one turkey of a track journeying into crooner-land. Urbie Green, The Fox (CTI). Good first side. Sonny Criss, Joy of Sax (Impulse). Overproduced commercial effort, but Sonny Criss still sounds great. Keith Jarrett, Mysteries (Impulse). I wish Dewey Redman were still alive. Charlie Byrd, Mr. Guitar (Riverside).

BillF Posted July 17, 2017 Report Posted July 17, 2017 4 hours ago, paul secor said: I like Curly Russell's playing on this one. Too bad he didn't get many more record dates after this - at least as far as I know of. His Wikipedia entry says he left the music business in the late 1950s. I think I read somewhere that he was driving a taxi sometime after that. Sadly for him, jazz bass playing had moved on. A bass player friend of mine in the sixties was very critical of of Russell's playing - and of some others of his era - pointing out "wrong notes" he was playing on Parker-era recordings. Of course, my friend went into raptures over Paul Chambers and Doug Watkins. Percy Heath seemed to be the first of the new generation that he could stomach. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curley_Russell Quote
paul secor Posted July 17, 2017 Report Posted July 17, 2017 I imagine that Bird employed him because of his time keeping abilities. As time went on, bass players went on to other things - for better or worse. Quote
jeffcrom Posted July 17, 2017 Report Posted July 17, 2017 Maynard Ferguson - Jam Session (Emarcy). Nice original pressing. Maynard is kind of bombastic, but the others, especially Herb Geller, Claude Williamson, and Max Roach, play very tastefully. Quote

Apologies for that. I have the Ahura Mazda LP, which you probably have also. My copy of the Takoma is different from the one you posted - mine has some color on the cover - not sure which is original - and I mistook your post for the Ahura Mazda, which is black and white. Plus, as I say, I was tired last night. Anyway, it's all good and they're both good Robert Pete. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted July 18, 2017 Report Posted July 18, 2017 Color cover is a second issue from what I understand. Quote
paul secor Posted July 18, 2017 Report Posted July 18, 2017 (edited) Discogs lists the color cover as 1966 w. booklet liner notes by Elijah P. Holloway (John Fahey?) - white cover as 1967. I have no idea which is the original and don't care all that much. I'm in it for the music and am cool either way. Edited July 18, 2017 by paul secor Quote
