It is the first New Zealand LP in my collection, just purchased. I wish I could find those elusive Alan Broadbent Chilly Bin CDs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only emusic.com downloads, IIRC. Broadbent's three recent Savant trio CDs (with Harvie S & Billy Mintz) have been darn impressive. I think they're the best he's released in a long while. Seems like his move Back East has been a shot in the arm, musically speaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gheorghe Posted August 16, 2023 Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 16 hours ago, sidewinder said: I have this on CD, I think the Conn reissues. It had not been reissued when it was recorded. The mood is quite similar to "Idle Moments" from the same period with the same musicians. Very nice music in my case more for back ground listening, since for my tastes the rhythm section Pearson-Cranshaw, Harewood" is a bit too mainstream-ish. I love Hutch´s following albums much more, especially one with Sam Rivers and Andrew Hill .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the Tone Poet sounds amazing. I have always liked this version of Bedouin best. Edited August 16, 2023 by Pim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HutchFan Posted August 16, 2023 Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 Next, more of CT's BIG B-A-D Band: I dig CT's Wichita Festival LP, but I think this one from Buddy's Place is even better. It hits harder, and it's more intense -- a nightclub vibe rather than a festival gig. Also, the AQ is more vivid on this LP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's something that's both appealing and ridiculous about it. It makes me smile. As for the music, it's very much a product of the 1970s: Billowy strings & concerto-like shape, hip in slightly cheesy way (much like the photo) with one foot in jazz (mostly because of the soloists) and the other in amorphously "sophisticated" music. Not mind-blowing. But I enjoy it for what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing profound but very enjoyable, like lots of Blue Notes of this type. It deserved a release at the time it was recorded. Sound is better than the Conn - significantly so, lovely and clear. 2 hours ago, HutchFan said: Next, more of CT's BIG B-A-D Band: I dig CT's Wichita Festival LP, but I think this one from Buddy's Place is even better.

The first track (‘Shell Game’) is a cracker. Ed Soph on drums is outstanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted August 16, 2023 Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 (edited) I Red/purple mono pressing. Interesting progression from ‘Blue Spirits’. I wonder at what time Hubbard came under the management of the late Clarence Avant and whether or not this led to the more commercial direction?

Kevin Bresnahan Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 Johnny Griffin - Call It Whachawana (Galaxy). Not a great one, but certainly worth a spin. Mulgrew Miller plays very pretty on a couple of tunes. Unfortunately, it has that lousy bass sound from that era. This never made it to CD, even in Japan, which is odd because he seems to have had a lot of fans there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
