HutchFan Posted August 31, 2021 Report Posted August 31, 2021 Primo Chico This whole album is outstanding -- but Side 2 takes it to a whole 'nother level: - "Basra" - "Lazy Afternoon" - "Eiderdown" Yeah to that. Quote

Have you heard Norma Winstone's version of "Lazy Afternoon" on her album ...Like Song, Like Weather? It's fantastic. Probably my favorite version with vocals. Which are some of your favorite renditions? Quote
HutchFan Posted August 31, 2021 Report Posted August 31, 2021 (edited) Now spinning: I like how the words "Contemporary Music" appear beside the Verve logo on the cover -- as if to say, "If you're looking for strictly-speaking 'Jazz,' this ain't it." Earlier: Frank Strozier Sextet - Remember Me (SteepleChase) I have the U.S. vinyl release on Inner City. Excellent stuff -- with Strozier's Memphis homie Harold Mabern.

It seemed that MPS didn't have good distribution in these parts at the time...I picked it up the first time I saw it, but that was the only time I saw it! People were asking me WOA WHERE DID YOU GET THIS?!?!?!?!?! and I was like, uh, at the record store? Quote

Yep. ... I really dig the Ron Carter-Billy Higgins hookup. They're not a pair that I associate together -- not like Higgins with Sam Jones or David Williams or Ron with Tony. But I think Ron & Higgins really mesh well on this LP. And then Corea does his lyrical thing. So it's a bit of a "disparate parts that come together nicely" sort of record, isn't it? Quote
JSngry Posted September 1, 2021 Report Posted September 1, 2021 Joe was emerging from his "low profile" period...him and Chick worked many times after this, and probably should have prior, but when a guy is holed up in SF doing...whatever he was doing... Ron & Billy, not a common team, but there's certainly no reason for that other than producer's choices. Ron can play with anybody (when he wants to), and Billy gonna be Billy, always. Producers can create "images" that don't always jibe with a bigger, braoder reality. Producer's choices, yea, that's why I like that record better than this one: and look, Joe produced his own MPS record, just a few months after that contemporary record. So...artist's choice! Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted September 1, 2021 Report Posted September 1, 2021 Gardening this afternoon, but I DID rip one this morning. Gene Russell - Takin' care of business - Dot 1966 Lots of reasons to prefer Les McCann, and this is one of them But I can still listen occasionally. MG Quote
JSngry Posted September 1, 2021 Report Posted September 1, 2021 It's almost like Joe did the Contemporary album, and then for whatever reason and said fuck this, I'mma gonna make my own record and see what happens. Quote

Discogs sometimes adds a layer of complexity that is not necessarily necessary: https://www.discogs.com/artist/4875690-The-Gene-Russell-Trio There's also this one: and if you're thinking that either one of these might not be an immediate priority to discover,,,,I'd concur with that, 100%!

sidewinder Posted September 1, 2021 Report Posted September 1, 2021 (edited) LP4, Friday night’s ‘Peyote’. Amazing how good these unissued takes are - and a great pleasure to hear Mickey Roker so clearly. Edited September 1, 2021 by sidewinder Quote
