paul secor Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 Bill Hardman - Home - Muse orig with Junior Cook, Slide Hampton & Mickey Tucker. Very nice indeed! MG Saw the personnel you listed and realized that Junior Cook, Slide Hampton, and Mickey Tucker (but not Bill Hardman) all play on Mickey Tucker's The Crawl, also recorded for Muse - obviously Mickey Tucker would have played on his own record. Anyway, I wondered if they were recorded on the same day or close together. Nope - Tucker's date was recorded sixteen months later. Quote

MG Good hard bop spiced with a bit of funk session. I'd give it 3 to 3 1/2 stars. I think you'd like it even more than I do. Quote

ep1str0phy Posted March 21, 2007 Report Posted March 21, 2007 The John Carter Quintet: Night Fire -Being one of the few early Carter/Bradford albums I've heard, I'm very much impressed. There are elements here that surpass Dauwhe, although they're very much in the same atmosphere. I think the big difference is the smaller ensemble; some among the group, including Roberto Miranda and William Jeffrey (who have continued to play with Bradford, and in fine fashion), are much better served by the reduced environs. Fine writing, powerful, aggressive playing all around--and so much detail. Quote
Shannon Dickey Posted March 21, 2007 Report Posted March 21, 2007 Yep. Ditto what the above comment said! I was lucky to see Carter play live...What a show! ----HB Quote

kh1958 Posted March 21, 2007 Report Posted March 21, 2007 (edited) John Mehegan--Reflections (Savoy)--This seems to be the only "original" Savoy in my LP collection. Unfortunately, I don't like it that much. John Meheagan wrote a series of jazz piano instruction books, "Contemporary Styles for the Jazz Pianist" which were considered pretty good at one time, mostly for the left-hand chord voicings. A lot of this stuff is old-hat by now, but at the time this may have been the only place to read about this kind of thing. I've never heard his recordings. How would you describe his style? He's "Progressive," allegedlly taking the best elements of bop but restoring the left hands of Jelly Roll Morton and Art Tatum. To me, he sounds stiff and very much like a Classical pianist trying to play jazz. The record is part-solo piano, and part piano-drums (Kenny Clarke). The liner notes are a lecture by "Uncus" about the influence of Classical music on jazz: e.g., "West Coast Progessive (1948-): basic Neo Classic influence, Bach, Handel. Modern Classicism--Hindemith." I have another pretty rare ten inch John Mehegan, From Barrellhouse to Bop, with Charles Mingus on bass. Despite the presence of Mingus, I don't like this one either. I just happened to finally come across some John Mehegan tracks that I do like--it's on the Savoy CD (sorry wrong forum) I Just Love Jazz Piano--in addition to three tracks by Hampton Hawes, Herbie Nichols, and Paul Smith, there are three fine Mehegan tracks with Mingus and Kenny Clarke--Mingus is in an agressive mood this time and virtually takes over the proceedings. I just wish I had the original LP. Edited March 21, 2007 by kh1958 Quote
