Seem to recall it was unusually pop-ish in style (Stevie Wonder tunes etc). I think this one is a really excellent - and under-rated - Thad & Mel album. The Motown stuff on it works out pretty well I think. Surprised just how good the vinyl sounds - I think this one is a UK pressing, done by CBS. The back cover with Thad, Mel and the older guys such as Cliff Heather wearing kaftans is a bit of a ‘period piece’ though !

Gheorghe Posted September 22, 2020 Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 Two great sessions: On side one you have Roy Eldridge with Flip Phillips, really great, and I Always said that Roy Eldridge was so much ahead of his time, his Generation. He went as far as playing the strictly boppish "Ornithology" Theme on the Outing of "How High the Moon". And "Flip and Jazz" is really hot stuff. The second side is famous mostly for the participation of the great Fats Navarro, but all the others , Allen Eager, Charlie Ventura, Ralph Burns, Bill Harris, Chubby Jackson and Buddy Rich with his great solo on "Sweet Georgia Brown" are also great. I purchased this "America" LP in 1978 and still like it very much.

Clunky Posted September 22, 2020 Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 Terumasa Hino--------Journey to air---------(Love/Ultra Vybe)  Pretty wild workout. I'll need to give this a few more listens to establish if the star studded band actually make it airborne. I know nothing about this reissue program other than it being part of RSD2020. For anyone interested pressing seems very good but then again I've got nothing to compare it to. Printing quality of the sleeve is adequate , about the same standard of the Blue Note 80 LP series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not my thing but good to see this stuff is at least being reissued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjazzg Posted September 22, 2020 Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 (edited) All of the Beaver Harris leader dates are really good. A good number have steel drums. Meanwhile, I decided it was time to plug some Gato sized holes in the collection. Today's arrival Gato Barbieri - Chapter One: Latin America [Impulse] I knew some of this from a CD compilation. It's good to have it in its entirety. Chapter Two's in the post. So until that arrives it's this Oliver Nelson - Swiss Suite [Flying Dutchman], featuring Gato Barbieri & Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson  Edited September 22, 2020 by mjazzg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gato had an astounding run in the first half of the 70s with Flying Dutchman and Impulse. I love all of them!   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
