JSngry Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Ok, Buddy & Richard Evans...worked ok enough w/Woody (Heavy Exposure is very good, at least when it is good, which is when it goes for the funk). These charts are very similar in formula to what Evans wrote for the Herman band, just with more contemporary rhythms, and a vocal group added. So we should be ok (enough) here. But we're not. We're not ok. Buddy playing rock/funk rhythms can be quite invigorating, but what's on this record sounds and feels like somebody/almost-anybody keeping time in a booth with headphones and a click track. This stuff doesn't have enough personality to it to work with Buddy Rich sounding like Generic Studio Drummer. Wayne Andre's fun to listen to, but everybody else...generic-ish role-playing. Which would be fine for a Wade Marcus record or something that was going for "that type thing", but not for a Buddy Rich Record. Whoever in this thought process thought it would be a good idea to de-Buddyify Buddy Rich was wrong. Terribly, terribly wrong. Listening this again to see if there's any reason not to believe that Buddy Rich doesn't even play on most (or even any) of this record. So far, I'm smelling the open legs of a ruse!

colinmce Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Steve Lacy - Flakes (Vista) Rome, 1974 Was surprised to score this sealed for $10 on ebay with no contest: I'm sure you have it. I'm really enjoying it. I like Lacy best in a trio, and also love Steve Potts. Throw in "Blinks", "Stamps" and "The Throes" and I'm sold!

king ubu Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Chico Freeman - The Pied Piper (Black-Hawk) Elvin and McBee make a wonderful team... Kenny Kirkland has a few great spots, and Chico is in fine form. Not too big a fan of his (I prefer his dad), but this one's worth listening, for sure! His tenor on "The Rose Tattoo" is marvellous!

I've pretty much given up using Ebay fill gaps in my Steve Lacy collection - the rare ones have gotten so expensive that they're out of my price range. Very cool that you got such a deal.
