etherbored Posted March 7, 2005 Report Posted March 7, 2005 sound samples are here... regards, -e- Quote
RDK Posted March 8, 2005 Report Posted March 8, 2005 Where I come from, that doesn't look like a creek... Samples sound nice. I really love those ECM Lloyd albums; the "ECM sound" really suits him these days. Quote
GregK Posted March 8, 2005 Report Posted March 8, 2005 who's on it? his recent bands from 2-3 years ago? Quote
etherbored Posted March 8, 2005 Author Report Posted March 8, 2005 Geri Allen (piano) Robert Hurst (double bass) Eric Harland (drums, percussion) -e- Quote
Joe M Posted April 6, 2005 Report Posted April 6, 2005 Gave it a quick listen last night. I'm not a huge fan of his alto work, and there's quite a bit of it on this record. Eric Harland sounds really good though. Quote
GregK Posted April 7, 2005 Report Posted April 7, 2005 Stanley Crouch wrote the liner notes???!!! Wait, there's liner notes in an ECM disc????!! Quote
Guy Berger Posted April 8, 2005 Report Posted April 8, 2005 Stanley Crouch wrote the liner notes???!!! Wait, there's liner notes in an ECM disc????!! Occasionally. Charles wrote his own liner notes (interesting ones, actually) for All My Relations. Guy Quote
GregK Posted April 8, 2005 Report Posted April 8, 2005 after one listen, this is the most Coltrane-esque that I've heard Lloyd sound on the ECM discs. Quote
king ubu Posted April 11, 2005 Report Posted April 11, 2005 Stanley Crouch wrote the liner notes???!!! Wait, there's liner notes in an ECM disc????!! Occasionally. Charles wrote his own liner notes (interesting ones, actually) for All My Relations. Guy Umberto Eco did liners for two of Gianni Coscia's & Gianluigi Trovesi's duo discs, too. Heard a few recent live shows of the group, and yes, Harland is impressive on those! Not sure I need another official release though. Quote
Guy Berger Posted April 11, 2005 Report Posted April 11, 2005 Not sure I need another official release though. I think I'm on the same page as you... given limited budget and limited listening time. Guy Quote
JSngry Posted April 11, 2005 Report Posted April 11, 2005 I'm liking this one. Geri Allen & Charles Lloyd go well together. Quote
sal Posted May 3, 2005 Report Posted May 3, 2005 I found this one at my local Best Buy today and got to listen to the first track (13+ minutes) on my way back to work. Mesmerizing. I can't wait to listen to the rest! Quote
cannonball-addict Posted May 3, 2005 Report Posted May 3, 2005 Much of this CD doesn't have that ECM sound. I think that's largely due to the rhythm section. Also note that this is the first ECM disc in a while to feature all black musicians. matt Quote
sheldonm Posted May 3, 2005 Report Posted May 3, 2005 Also note that this is the first ECM disc in a while to feature all black musicians. matt ....and your point? Quote
GregK Posted May 4, 2005 Report Posted May 4, 2005 huh. I had no idea Charles Lloyd was black. Guess I just never thought about it. Great disc! Quote
robviti Posted May 4, 2005 Report Posted May 4, 2005 I had no idea Charles Lloyd was black. when you really think about it, we're all black, since the first humans evolved in africa about 2 million years ago. Quote
Guy Berger Posted May 4, 2005 Report Posted May 4, 2005 huh. I had no idea Charles Lloyd was black. Guess I just never thought about it. Great disc! I'm don't think he is black... not that it matters, really. Guy Quote
Guy Berger Posted December 19, 2005 Report Posted December 19, 2005 (edited) Got this from yourmusic recently. A solid disc, like most of Lloyd's ECMs, but I haven't made up my mind about it yet. Geri Allen's playing is superb and I like Lloyd's alto playing. Listening to his post-Voice in the Night ensemble albums, I got the feeling that he was sort of coasting with his playing; there isn't any of that here. Instead I get the feeling that he showed up to play on this date. More thoughts: 1) Some of the shorter pieces in the middle of the album are kinda "eh" and drag the whole thing down a bit. 2) "Sweet Georgia Bright" + intro is the highlight of the album for me. Allen's restatement of the theme (reharmonized? sorry, not a musician) at the end of her solo is awesome. 3) Lloyd's alto playing reminds me a little of Jackie McLean. 4) Allen quotes Duke Ellington's "Chinoiserie" on "Jumping the Creek", I think.
