This was intended to be released by BYG that very year but was released by Affinity in 1984. It’s a great session with some intense en percussive playing by the whole band. Such a shame about that uninspired cover (as is often the case with this label). Just imagine this record with a classic BYG/Actuel gatefold. Quote

A while ago I started a thread about trombone and vibes front lines, this has four trombones with its vibes! had the Ashoka Suite at one point and sold it (condition issues). Would not mind having it back. Quote

That means we are two ! I only have one album of "Sphere", and my fave on it is Buster Williams, who anyway is one of my favourites. Until I got the best of the Austrian bassists and drummers to play with, I still had it in my head that if I could have those "three wishes" , one might be "to have Buster Williams and Al Foster play with me"..... How is this other Sphere Album. Also Monk originals ? Quote

Teasing the Korean Posted October 9 Report Posted October 9 (edited) Andre Previn - Dead Ringer OST (WB, mono) With its combination of dissonant, 20th century symphonic composition and use of the harpsichord, this is as close as I've found to Night Gallery music.

But he must have been a very technical guitarist. What label is "Dobre Records".....sounds like something from Iugoslavia or Polonia... 10 hours ago, HutchFan said: This album keeps making its way back to my turntable: Bob Florence Big Band - Live at Concerts By The Sea (Trend, 1980) It's a grower. It´s strange I have read that name sometimes here in the forum, but it is completly unknown to me. Maybe I´m not the biggest big band fan (it seems that Diz, Billie Eckstine and above all Sun Ra but also Thad Jones Mel Lewis have spoiled me on other big bands) but I never heard the name Quote
