jazzkrow Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 This cd looks like it could be real special. Features Farnsworth with Benny Golson, Eric Alexander, Jim Rotondi, Curtis Fuller, and Harold Mabern-among others. What a line-up! Is it as special as this line-up sounds? I'm itchin' to find out.... Anyone out there heard this one yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzkrow Posted August 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 What a mark-up for the SACD. $12.59 (plus shipping) for the CD but $46+ for the SACD. Has anyone heard either format? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlhoots Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 I have the Japanese hybrid CD. Was around $24 when I bought it. Sounds fine to me. I don't have a SACD player, so I'm not getting the SACD layer. BTW, the music is very fine. One slightly hesitant Curtis Fuller solo, but otherwise he sounds fine & everyone else is in excellent form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 As a drummer's date, does Joe take a lot of solos, or lead off the solos? Or is it more of a typical small group date? The only thing that would make me hesitate is if it really comes across as obviously a drummer's date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlhoots Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 (edited) It's not (to me) an obviously drummer led date, i.e. not a lot of drum solos. Hybrid SACD at Red Trumpet for $29.99. It says special order, 3-10 days. They're usually pretty good at getting what they say they can get. Otherwise buy the new regular issue on 441 for less.

Kevin Bresnahan Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 I have this from Hiroshi Tanno a few months back for around $30 (inc. shipping). I got the SACD hybrid so I could hear it on my SACD player. I listened to it a few times and as stated, other than a couple of not-so-great Fuller solos, the disc is pretty good. I wouldn't say it was better than other dates out there in this genre, but certainly worth picking up the CD. I would not recommend spending $30 for the SACD... it is not that good. I wish I had known that these sessions were coming out on CD on this new label. I could have saved a bunch. Later, Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son-of-a-Weizen Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 As an aside, half of that line-up (Alexander/Farnsworth/Rotondi) also appear on this Venus release from '03. Title track is called 'Our Father Who Art Blaky'. Killer. Play it loud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boy, did you hit that one on the head O' Weize One! I have been singing the praises of this CD all over the place. Now this CD is worth the $30 import price... and then some!! Later, Kevin EDIT: Actually the title of this CD is "No Problem", not "Our Father Who Art Blaky".
