See Robert Palmer, paragraph 7 https://www.nytimes.com/1987/05/17/arts/top-bassists-are-the-bottom-line-in-jazz-ensembles.html. But there is no reissue on CD http://www.enjajazz.de/artist.htm#h Yep .... Mark Helias still underrated .... Quote

clifford_thornton Posted October 20, 2020 Report Posted October 20, 2020 Saw him do a solo concert recently in upstate New York, the day after Gary Peacock died -- tremendous!!! Quote

sidewinder Posted October 24, 2020 Report Posted October 24, 2020 (edited) Nice to finally get to hear this one. OK pressing, benefited nicely from an RCM spin. Edited October 24, 2020 by sidewinder Quote

Eldridge - trumpet Kamuca - tenor Dick Katz - piano Tommy Potter - bass* Eddie Locke - drums * Potter replaced by Don Moore on the 2 tracks recorded on March 25, 1966. This is an interesting date that I bought much more Kamuca's presence than Eldridge's. It almost seems like they alternate songs for who's featured. The pianist-turned-producer plays a decent piano, if a little out of tune in places. The earlier stuff is in better sound. I wonder if there is more somewhere? I'd really like to hear it. What I have here is very good. BTW, I've been looking for this for some time.... Quote
sidewinder Posted October 24, 2020 Report Posted October 24, 2020 Nothing new here that isn’t on the 4CD set. Nice, crisp sound though - as good as I have heard this material. Funky red vinyl. Having said that, one of the disks has a slight chip, poor QC. Quote

What do you think of it? Well recorded double album with one side to each pianist. All solo piano. Marian McPartland is the producer. Earl Hines and Teddy Wilson sides are superb. There are perhaps too many medleys, if that bothers you. Definitely a feast of fine solo piano. Edited October 24, 2020 by kh1958 Quote

This was Art's road band at the end of his life. They'd been touring nonstop for about a year, and they were tight." Edited October 24, 2020 by HutchFan Quote

Really digging it so far. Quote

Even that wasn’t on offer at my usual outlet. On the other hand, they did have 2 copies of ‘Stonebone’. Edited October 25, 2020 by sidewinder Quote
