mikeweil Posted January 15, 2005 Report Posted January 15, 2005 (edited) Track 3: The Oscar Pettiford All Stars ? Not So Sleepy First of all, thanks for the great fun this disc brings me every time I spin it! But I do have a few questions: 1) Where is Oscar credited as the leader of this date? Or is this just an assumption of yours? Edited January 15, 2005 by mikeweil Quote
mikeweil Posted January 15, 2005 Report Posted January 15, 2005 (edited) Track 8: Goza ? Cal Tjader And how about Eddie Cano? There?s another guy I need to dig into some more; I really dig the big-band sides that Tjader did with him (on the Latino CD). He composed this track as well as playing piano. Wonder whatever happened to him? Dig the final chorus and those lovely ringing chords, almost Red-Garland-ish in their octave-playing! Well, Cano was a very successful bandleader of his own, but most of his stuff would be considered too commercial by most board members. He played some nice piano, but was not as heavy as Bebo Valdes or any of the great son pianist, Peruchín in particular. There was an RCA reissue of Deep in a Drum, of his Cole Porter LP, and a Fresh Sound / Palladium reissue of A Taste of Cano, two albums that are a satisfying listen for serious Latin Jazz lovers. But I strongly urge you to get this CD: He's the superior pianist, and his rhythm section is much tighter. Edited January 15, 2005 by mikeweil Quote
mikeweil Posted January 15, 2005 Report Posted January 15, 2005 Track 12: Someone to Light Up My Life ? Antonio Carlos Jobim From Terra Brasilis Musicians unknown; arranged by Claus Ogerman Terra Brasilis is a wonderful album! Sabia in particular makes me dream .... On my copy, at least part of the musicians are credited: Antonio Carlos Jobim: vocals & keyborads Oscar Castro-Neves: guitar Bucky Pizzarelli & Vinnie Bell: guitars on Double Rainbow Bob Cranshaw: bass Michael Moore: bass on Double Rainbow, Falando de Amor, Two Kites & Marina Pascoal de Souza Meirelles: drums Grady Tate: drums on Double Rainbow Rubens Bassini: percussion Quote
Jim R Posted January 15, 2005 Report Posted January 15, 2005 On the negative side, this BFT surely set a record for me for tracks from albums I own, and I only definitively ID'd one, the Jack Wilson track. But I own #6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 14 and 16 and 17 and have no excuse for missing Sweets. I owned #'s 3, 8, 10, 12, and 17, and only got two (and 12 was the ultimate "gimme" for me). I still can't believe I missed #10!! Oh well, at least I got almost all 91 tracks correct on the short attention span disc. Al, you'll be glad to know I'm out another $20 thanks to you (picked up the Ellington and that Silverish guy ). Oh, and another $20 for a couple of other Moody CD's. Some friend YOU turned out to be.

Noj Posted January 15, 2005 Report Posted January 15, 2005 Track 17: Frank’s Tune – Jack Wilson From Easterly Winds Jack Wilson – piano Jackie McLean – knife-sharpened alto sax Lee Morgan – trumpet Garnett Brown – trombone Bob Cranshaw – bass Billy Higgins – drums Man, Blue Note finally gets it right and reissues one of the loveliest albums I’ve ever heard! This track, or rather the opening minute which I heard on an Amazon sound-clip, sold me on this album. I love the harmonies of the opening and closing; the chord structure and phrasings by all the soloists are absolutely scrumptious! And then there’s Wilson’s solos. It’s a shame he hasn’t recorded more often, as I love his sensitive playing. His trio version of “A Time For Love” from this album is definitive, IMHO (sounds like his arrangement of the Tony Bennett version, which is also lovely, BTW). Reissue of the year for me last year. I hope I’m not too bold in predicting that those of you who don’t already own this album will be acquiring this one soon because of this track! Heck, y’oughta get it just to see that “interesting” picture of the band (and Higgins & Cranshaw in particular) on the inside! Thanks for playing, y’all. Thank for indulging me my tastes in music and for making me feel that my tastes aren’t as conservative as I’ve always thought they were. But most of all, thanks for having fun with me!!! Sold me Al, I got it tonight. Quote

Big Al Posted January 17, 2005 Author Report Posted January 17, 2005 Forgot to mention that the JB segueway into the Reuben Wilson was inspired by Dan trying to fool everyone with his Lou Donaldson segueway into......... hmm, now that I think about it, Dan also did a segueway into a Reuben Wilson song as well! Coincidence? I think so! Quote

Not So Sleepy First of all, thanks for the great fun this disc brings me every time I spin it! But I do have a few questions: 1) Where is Oscar credited as the leader of this date? Or is this just an assumption of yours? Crow eaten here: I was going strictly by memory as far as the leadership goes. I made a CDR of this track from the library’s copy of the Coltrane Bethlehem disc. For some reason, the Blakey sessions didn’t do that much for me. In fact, this was the only song of that whole set I really dug. Anyway, I could’ve swore it said “The Oscar Pettiford All-Stars.” If it didn’t, then it must be a band-name I dreamt up just to give the track an artist name on my disc! Quote

I was just trying to answer the question as to who the trumpet player was on “Someone,” which the album credits don’t list. Unfortunately! You are right about “Sabia.” All of the songs that make up side four (with the exception of “Two Kites”) have that effect on me. In fact, I sorta wish that they’d switched places between “Two Kites” and “Wave.” I made a CDR of my copy with the songs switched like that; not only did it have the desired effect of keeping the dreamlike trance in place for the last five songs, but “Two Kites”—a song I had previously hated—actually made sense in its new context between “Triste” and “Someone!” When I listen to the disc now, I can’t imagine it playing in its original playing order. Weird! Quote
Dan Gould Posted January 17, 2005 Report Posted January 17, 2005 Forgot to mention that the JB segueway into the Reuben Wilson was inspired by Dan trying to fool everyone with his Lou Donaldson segueway into......... hmm, now that I think about it, Dan also did a segueway into a Reuben Wilson song as well! Coincidence? I think so! Yeah, I forgot to ask if I deserved credit for inspiring that bit of audio tomfoolery. Just think if anyone had real audio editing capability-with multiple track capability, you could take Armstrong's original "wonderful World" and add some Gee-Whiz noodling on top, really confuse people!

.:.impossible Posted January 22, 2005 Report Posted January 22, 2005 Hey, I didn't do as bad as I thought. I'm actually surprised at some of the guesses I made regarding the Basie music and Freddie Green. I don't have any of that stuff, but am somewhat familiar with it. Really good disc. I need to check out some of the Terry Gibbs Dream Band! Quote
JSngry Posted January 22, 2005 Report Posted January 22, 2005 Still can't believe that's Jimmy Forrest! Quote
Swinging Swede Posted January 22, 2005 Report Posted January 22, 2005 For what it's worth, the Modern Jazz Discography lists that session as being by "Oscar Pettiford All Stars". Quote
