Hank Mobley 'The Turnaround!' (BN/King)

raw.jpg

Lovely! At one time the CD held my record for overpayment - £21 at HMV! "Those were the days" isn't always the watchword where record buying is concerned. :)

£21 for a CD !! No wonder the whole kaboosh fell apart. Come to think of it, I can remember the time when most CDs here were £16-17 or thereabouts and that was for non-imports too.

I bought it in 1993 when, IIRC, £13 was a typical jazz CD price.

I have to confess to paying £40 to get this........... on a NY (stereo) , :cool:

Now spinning this

Joe Henderson - Page One - NY Mono- a long standing favourite.

I've been alternating today between Morton Feldman and Roscoe Mitchell. Listening to "L-R-G," it occurred to me that Morton and Roscoe would have understood each other's music. In the liner notes to the album, Roscoe talks about "sound worlds" and "sound collages" how he adapts and uses them (I'm simplifying Roscoe's thoughts of course). In one of Feldman's essays, he talks about his discovery "that sound in itself can be a totally plastic phenomenon, suggesting its own shape, design, and poetic metaphor..." Some parts of "L-R-G" and "S II Examples" would not be out of place in Feldman's music, and vice versa. I would not push that parallel too far, but there do seem to be some interesting parallels.

I really like this picture of the "L-R-G" recording session; it's particularly cool in the gatefold LP version. Is that Chuck standing to the back in the blue shirt and white pants?

Interesting observation. Both of those composer's music were featured in festivals this past April here in Philly.

I am the guy in the back - the pants were beige.

The guy in the red shirt is George Favors, Malachi's brother. The guy next to him was the guy who drove the truck of instruments from the Creative Music Studio. Sadly I don't remember his name.

Thanks for clearing that up Chuck. Sorry about the pants happy.gif

That's an amazing collection/assortment of percussion instruments. That it was got together in the first place, and recorded so well, is fantastic. In that photo is the heart of the AACM, and a staggering group of musician-composers.
