Rabshakeh Posted November 16, 2020 Report Posted November 16, 2020 Taylor Ho Bynum - Enter The Plustet (2015). Certainly one of my favourite big band releases of the last few years. So much detail in the massed arrangements, but it still leaves space for individual players to amaze, particularly Ken Filiano on bass. Shelley Manne - The Three & The Two Another beige record cover. The real surprise for me with this album isn’t Giuffe and Manne, who are obviously excellent here, but Shorty Rogers, who is so capable at moving in such uncharted waters. I normally associate Rogers with hokey orchestrated 50s fun (not a criticism!), but here he is at the harmonic cutting edge. Quote

I wish I could find more as they sound great, but almost every time I find one of this series, it is rechanneled stereo. Quote
mjazzg Posted November 17, 2020 Report Posted November 17, 2020 (edited) Billy Harper - The Believer [Baystate] First listen to today's new arrival. Purchased solely based on all the love it gets on this board, and because I like other two BH albums I have. I do think more might well be coming... Edited November 17, 2020 by mjazzg Quote

It still bugs me that the Billy Harper Club CDR I had of this session died and they never answered any of my requests to replace it. It's one of the reasons I refuse to buy CD-Rs of any session today. Of the few I already had, they are backed up as WAV files on my hard drive in case this happens again. Quote

Doesn't detract too much from the impact of the music though. Signed by Favre and Schweizer too, although I've no proof they're legit. Quote

I am a big fan of Schweizer + Favre (their intakt duo is great) so this looks pretty enticing. I see it is available to buy digitally, so I may give that go. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted November 17, 2020 Report Posted November 17, 2020 yeah this is a super gnarly album, not for the faint of heart! I believe they signed a bunch of copies back in the day -- perhaps for reviewers or something. Quote

corto maltese Posted November 19, 2020 Report Posted November 19, 2020 The "looks" and "feel" of those Sahara records were often promising, but they always failed to live up to (my) expectations. Except for the Dane Belany album which, like Clifford, I do like a lot. (I must confess I never heard the Monk tribute album.) Quote

But it's nice to have an original with its gorgeous silk screened sleeve. And honestly, I wouldn't worry about the legitimacy of the signatures. Why would anyone forge Favre's and Schweizer's signatures on the cover?. Those two are not exactly hot among autograph hunters. Quote
