Allan Songer Posted April 21, 2006 Report Posted April 21, 2006 I just read that Sonny Simmons has formed a trio and has been playing in New York this month. Would love to see him make a trip to Los Angeles! Anyway, I was spinning this late last night before heading to bed and NO, I did NOT have any nightmares--even after heard Barbara Donald's trumpet at full tilt! No nightmares? That's because you weren't spinning side 2 of the Smiley Winters on Arhoolie! That's some freaky shit... NICE! I ran into Sonny Simmons on the street in San Francisco about 20 years ago blowin the SHIT out of his alto right in front of the BART station downtown--maybe Montgomery St? Playing for loose change.

Chuck Nessa Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 Ellington's Cosmic Scene. Had to listen since it is being reissued. Quote
Uncle Skid Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 Ellington's Cosmic Scene. Had to listen since it is being reissued. Well?? How is it? Worthy of a reissue? Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 Ellington's Cosmic Scene. Had to listen since it is being reissued. Well?? How is it? Worthy of a reissue? ALL Ellington is worthy of reissue. You just don't need to buy them all. Quote
Uncle Skid Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 ALL Ellington is worthy of reissue. You just don't need to buy them all. Yes -- this one probably would have never been "on my radar" if it hadn't just been reissued by Mosaic. And I suppose that's the problem with reissues in general -- trying to sort out what's "essential" vs. what's just interesting or "overdue". However, I am intrigued by this "small group" session. Should be a nice contrast to most of the other Ellington stuff I already have. Quote

I owned several performance of Beethoven's 9 symphony, but I never found again the thrill I had when I heard it live at Royal Albert Hall with London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Tennstedt, let's say 15 years ago. Damn! I am ageing. Quote
