LP 2 - with brother Tommy, Kenny Burrell, Sonny Clark, et al from October '62

Glorious.

Crazy that music from this session sat on the shelf until 1978!

Expand  

A nice 2LP set, that one. 

[Kevin Bresnahan]

Now playing: Louis Hayes - Breath Of Life (Muse). This is an interesting date. It moves outside of where I thought Louis would go. It's not free but it's not your typical hard bop date either.

Obrador - More Odd Jobs

 

bought on the strength of Bert Wilson being involved...and it has exceeded expectations!

[HutchFan]

Arrived in the mail this evening:

Sounds great.

Now playing: David Schnitter - Goliath (Muse)

Two things... First, WTF is up with this cover? Am I missing something here? Is he supposed to be praying to his saxophone to help save him from those sheep? 

Expand  

I suppose he's playing with the idea of praying over the Christ-child in a manger scene.

But, yeah, it is strange.  ... Especially considering the title of the album.  He's got the whole David & Goliath thing going with that.  But that doesn't really tie in with the "Away in a manger, no crib for a bed" angle.  Schnitter's mixing up his biblical allusions in all sorts of ways.

Like this one and have it naturally

Interesting fact - Top Rank actually did a UK release of JR Monterose ‘The Message’. Mythically rare.

Again:

Fun to hear how the quintet's rendition of Zawinul's "74 Miles Away" anticipates Weather Report. 

On other pieces, the connection isn't immediately obvious.  On this cut, it is.

Continuing with my Bud Freeman lps -

Side 2 of this one is a Freeman trio with Dave Bowman and Don Lamond.

one of my favourite Freeman LPs

Carpet Patrol

A dream line-up with Cecil Bridgewater, Onaje Allan Gumbs, Cecil McBee and Joe Chambers. The record is good but nothing mind-blowing. Rest in peace mr. Gumbs: you will be missed.

Sorry its CD's but nevertheless  the best Kenton band in the 1950ies IMHO.

Eric Kloss - Essence (Muse). I swear that Buster Williams is playing an electric bass but it could just be the way they recorded it. Pianist Mickey Tucker is listed with "appears courtesy of Bluenote Records". Tucker never recorded as a leader for Blue Note Records that I am aware of. Was there a Bluenote Records as well?  

As I listen to this, I am reminded that I'm not a huge Marvin "Hannibal" Peterson fan.

There is a thread for that too

[Kevin Bresnahan]

Next up - Booker Ervin - The In Between (Blue Note). Not my favorite Ervin date but it has it's moments. One of the few records I have with Bobby Few at the keys.

Thanks for the Info. A search brought up several. Which one do have in mind?

Tucker was the co-leader of the New Heritage Keyboard Quartet (with Sir Roland Hanna). They released one LP for Blue Note in 1973.  I bet that's why there's a BN credit for Tucker on Kloss' LP.  

**********

I think Bodies' Warmth is O.K.  But Kloss made another record with Barry Miles, Together (Muse, 1976), that's much better, IMO.  It's more stripped down, unvarnished.  A duo LP.

When you see this cover all blown up, you can kinda see why some people thought that there might have been something racially motivated here. It was a very weird choice to break apart "messengers" by separating it the way it was done on this cover.

Strangely enough, I never noticed it until Aric brought it up here many years ago. Now I see it every time.

Ha -- that's wild. I mean, now that you say it, I see it, but never would have thought to look.

I know! I bet I looked at this cover a hundred times and never saw it and then when Aric brought it up... it might've even been on the Blue Note forums... I was like, "What the heck?" Now I can't un-see it.

There exist 3 volumes  (#1, #2, #3) with the same pictures. The interpretation above is ridiculous and artificial. There was never to my knowledge such a kind of discussion among the serious jazzfans. But it is obvious that you can bring up the strangest theories and you will find some followers. To think Blue Note has such Ideas when issueing LP's  is simply sick.

It's totally stupid. Of course they were not designed with this in mind (these are the reissue covers anyway). But I guess I see what Aric was talking about, even if it's not true.
