Thanks for the heads-up, Pim. It’s a nice record 👍 I only know Sonelius Smith on this record and he is great here. But bassist Milton Suggs (unknown to me) is also playing very strong. Pure Pleasure’s reissue is one hell of a remaster. Spotless sound. And Strata wasn’t exactly known for good sound quality... Quote
clifford_thornton Posted December 31, 2019 Report Posted December 31, 2019 Milton Suggs is the father of a popular jazz singer by the same name. Both Farrah LPs on Strata-East are really good. I haven't heard the one on RA (drummer Ron Rashaan's label). Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted December 31, 2019 Report Posted December 31, 2019 I knew Milton in Chicago. Fine musician and nice guy. I forgot he is gone.

And also Gary Coleman (not the actor), a name familiar if you read credits on a buttload full of LA pop records from back in the day. This music was once deemed "exotic", "difficult", "eccentric", etc. Here in 2019 (almost 2020), it sounds so...normal. And beautiful! That is contained in this Sony CD set: and that set includes the instrument demonstrations from the Delusion of the Fury lp box. Delusion of the Fury can be heard without the clicks and pops on this cd - https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B000035X6C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Quote

The early CTI pressings all had gatefold covers with super-thick cardboard sleeves. Subsequent repressings/reissues didn't have gatefold covers and the cardstock for the covers was no heavier than standard releases. As I said though, the cost-savings thing is just an assumption on my part. Edited January 1, 2020 by HutchFan Quote

Brad Posted January 2, 2020 Report Posted January 2, 2020 Hard to understand why this hasn’t been digitally released. Quote

Well, all the albums have, and that's probably what "they" wanted. But this focused collation of just trio tracks,,,I think it's a really good way to hear certain things about Horace as both player and composer that aren't always to the forefront of the band recordings. Just my opinion, though. "They" don't ask me what I think. Quote

I have this with the original cover: And the same cover photo/design is on the next BN Album "Horace Silver with Jazz Messengers", the one with "The Preacher" on it...…. I think I have all Horace Silver albums from the 50´s in cronological order but somehow actually I´m listening to other stuff. Quote

JSngry Posted January 4, 2020 Report Posted January 4, 2020 Just saying - the "trio sides only" concept of the old 2-fer has not been released digitally. That set included all trio material that Horace did for BN, across his run at the label. It spanned the years 1952-1968. Quote
