mikeweil Posted July 23, 2004 Report Posted July 23, 2004 You got me thinking that it's time to persuade him to re-enter the jazz arena. Yes, do! He was one of the most exciting pianists of that generation--a really personal sound despite the Monk/Weston lineage--& I really regret his long sabbatical from recording "straight" jazz. I'd wholeheartedly agree, but these four are a perfect statement, and any addition would be repetition ..... ? I understand Ikaven's statement about the dark edge, but it still has a very positive vibe - and it isn't simply retro - that's why I kept his CDs and sold the harper Brothers' and Justin Robinson's ...

king ubu Posted July 23, 2004 Report Posted July 23, 2004 Listened to #10 once more, and I really really like it! It's quite mainstreamy-stuff, if you know it a bit better. Solos are built just as one ought to, but then everything is a bit strange, a bit unusual, some notes are not exactly where they belong to... Love it! Got to look for that disc some day! ubu Quote
king ubu Posted July 29, 2004 Report Posted July 29, 2004 Nate, I found the Lüscher/Su duo disc "Smada" (Altrisuoni) in the library! I'll report here when I listened to it! ubu Quote
Nate Dorward Posted July 29, 2004 Author Report Posted July 29, 2004 Thanks--I'd be very curious to know. It's a setup not so different from the Lacy/Waldron Sempre Amore.... Quote
