sal Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 Man, he's been putting out CDs like crazy lately. What's this, like his fifth release in the past 6 months? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soul Stream Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 Just wanted to bring this thread back up. This is a really good CD with one of the top WORKING organ groups today. These guys are smoking and it's a good live recording of what you might typically hear on a Tuesday night at Smoke NYC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 So LeDonne is pulling some organ stops on this one? I really dig what he does on the B3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 Wanted to order this along with the Brian Lynch CD with Fender Rhodes, but the Alexander is temporarily unavailable! I mean, if it sold better than they thought, i'd be the last to curse them .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Gould Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 Thanks for the reminder on this one, when I saw it listed on Alan's site, I'd made a mental note to pick this one up along with the Fathead Newman Cellar Live release when I can get them at the same time.

John Tapscott Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 I don't have it yet, but I have heard and read that the Charles McPherson Cellar Live CD is very good, too. I think I'll get it along with the Alexander/LeDonne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 Oh hell ... I saw the Dr. Lonnie Smith release, and a Ryan Kiso-Ian Hendrickson Smith live date and said F-it and just ordered them. Does anyone know why the Eric Alexander is "unavailable"? Is it possible there's a question about him recording for a different label and maybe its being pulled?

If it was a label problem, wouldn't they just delete it from the site altogether? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're probably right though, I doubt they'd release it unless they had their I's dotted and T's crossed. In the meantime, I'll just listen to the same group on "Smokin' Out Loud".

Best version of Mama's Got A Complex he's done on CD...super funky. Ian Henderickson Smith is just top-notch...flying just under the radar in NYC except at Smoke it seems. His time will come, he's amazing. A hard bop hero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was a label problem, wouldn't they just delete it from the site altogether? ← In trying to determine the status of my Cellar Live order, I finally got a response from Cory Weeds, and I asked about the Eric Alexander disc. Turns out there was an issue of a "contractual breach" and then he basically said, so it won't be available anymore but stay tuned because it might be. Sounds to me like they're trying to work a deal to sell whatever is left from the first run of CDs, so hopefully this will be available at some point, but anyone who wants it better watch the website and act fast if it comes back.

CD Universe now has listed as a pre-order (August) the Alexander/Herring get together at Smoke in April. A definite crowd pleaser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Bresnahan Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 If you're interested in this Mike LeDonne CD from Cellar Door, I'd E-mail Cory soon. The response I got from him seemed to indicate that he would never be able to run another pressing of this disc because of legalities. It's worth E-mailing him to see if he gets any returns. He's trying to get me a copy now. Later, Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
