sidewinder Posted September 19, 2020 Report Share Posted September 19, 2020 (edited) German ECM Great memories of seeing this band in performance around the time of this release and they played some of the material - truly a group of all stars. Sadly, quite a few no longer with us (Lester, Malachi Thompson, Philip Wilson) but good that Frank Lacy, Steve Turre and others are still very much active musically.

Sorta surprising that the steel drum isn't used more frequently in a jazz context. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted September 20, 2020 Report Share Posted September 20, 2020 (edited) NY mono version The backbeat drumming on ‘Dixie Lee’ sounds so familiar, you wonder where you’ve heard it before. Then you realise it is on umpteen Motown records and who was on the Motown ‘house’ team for a time - Freddie Waits.

sidewinder Posted September 20, 2020 Report Share Posted September 20, 2020 (edited) Gearbox 2LP - excellent. The later (1979) session has the best sound. It is possible that I might have caught the original (late Sunday night) ‘Jazz In Britain’ broadcast on Radio 3.

sidewinder Posted September 20, 2020 Report Share Posted September 20, 2020 (edited) RSD issue, signed by Ron. Lovely 2LP release by the German In ‘n’ Out label. As usual, Renee Rosnes’ playing is superb. Edited September 20, 2020 by sidewinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudy was on vacation that day and the session was recorded by his 12 year old nephew. Someone left a beer can in the piano which can be distinctly heard by golden ear audiophiles at the 4:33 point on Bedouin and may be mistaken for a piano warble. Buddy Rich does not sound right on Blue Note. I am finally spinning this Tone Poet LP and I think I get a feeling for why this was shelved. The first track, "Mirrors", has a very odd-sounding stereo sound. Basically it's two extremely separated mono channels, with vibes, piano, bass and drums in the right channel and Joe Henderson's tenor isolated in the left channel. The sound is wonderful but it sounds weird. The second track, "For Duke P.", in contrast, sounds much more "normal". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds very interesting. Just checked Discogs I'm also surprised they don't pop up on UK Jazz recordings more. I think Orphy Robinson may have played them in the past Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dempsey 2 cd set, disc 1 Hard to describe how transformed this release is by the new mastering. . . it never sounded half this good before. Damn. I saw this in a shop today and passed it up in a "rational" moment. 1 hour ago, mjazzg said: That sounds very interesting. Just checked Discogs Yep. I have it on my wantlist, but purely out of interest. Seeing that price tag would keep anyone grounded. This evening's work: Clinkers by Steve Lacy (Hat Hut 1978) The Heatin' System by Jack McDuff (Cadet 1972) Then: Constellation by Sonny Stitt (Cobblestone 1972). Fly or Die by Jaimie Branch (International Anthem 2017), with Tomeka Reid in full flight. Edited September 20, 2020 by Rabshakeh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
