kinda wild to look at some of these album covers (and listen to their contents), realizing that everyone participating is now gone.

It is sobering.

Glad to have seen Hill, Hutcherson, Moncur, and McLean at least. I never saw Roy, mostly because I was not always so enthused about who he was playing with. My mistake.

Now spinning:

Very very fine stuff, but I doubt it sold well when it was issued. I fear Graham Moncur III did not get the recognition he should have earned . 

He seems to have been a musicians musician,  but he was so great, as a composer too. I think I saw him once with a "Paris All Star" collection and was hurted because he got less applause than the others.... (Woody Shaw, Joe Henderson I think ) 

If I remember, on this record is a tune in such a strange 4/4 rhythm, completly else than the usual swing. 

After a few seconds I said it sounds exactly like the older folk music in România, especially in Transsilvania" We both my wife and me thought that way......

fantastic records. All more demanding stuff of BN in the 60´s is good. I´m glad that they made records like that, while on the other hand I don´t listen to them hundreds of Jimmy Smith followers organ boogaloo records (maybe the one with Hutch Grant Green and an organ player of all of them after Smith, that was an interesting frontline and a good version of "The Turnaraound".......

I was wondering about when I had seen him live in the past. At NorthSea around 2006 with his band was the last time, playing great and still looking good. Before that I remember catching him in 1980 I think in London at  a Charlie Parker Tribute organised by George Wein. RIP.

Moncur was a really interesting character. From what I read, Blue Note weren't too happy that he chose to keep his publishing. His tunes are amazing; like the Shorter brothers, he was from Newark (a few years younger) and seemed to have an interest in the fantastical, but kept things swinging in his own way. He had very significant substance problems and that presumably is part of why he was off the scene for long periods.

Love "Let 'Em Roll" by Big John Patton, and along with Larry Young, he's my favorite of the BN organists' stable.

Great posting ! 

Yes that´s a very good description of Moncur´s ability as a composer. I didn´t know he was a junkie but it´s strange that even after Bird´s death so many musicians in the 60´s who started to play only after Bird was dead, became junkies. 
I never in live would have thought that Woody Shaw was a junkey. From the way he looked and he was presented by Columbia he seemed to me as the perfect musican who also is a model citizen, highly intelectual, loving husband and father and stuff, and when I saw him the last time in 1987 I couldn´t believe THIS is THE Woody Shaw.....

 

About organ players. Well I must admit that on "Let Em Roll" though the John Patton is the leader, it seems that I played all attention to what Hutcherson and Green do, I think I remember I found the organ solos quite repetive. 
My acces to organ in jazz or in general is very very limited. I love the very very early Jimmy Smith, the more rough way from his first two albums and the great session with Hank, Morgan, Donaldson, and so on.... /Date with Jimmy Smith. 

And the only other organ player who thrills me is Larry Young. And how he thrills me, he is fantastic. 

And believe it or not. In the 70´s one organ player who actually is NOT considered an organ player fascinates me: MILES DAVIS. I loved his interludes on organ in his fantastic band with Liebman, Foster, Mtume which I heard live and loved what Miles does on organ with Lieb soloing on Ife or on Dave´s tune......
