Guest akanalog Posted April 12, 2005 Report Posted April 12, 2005 i have sam suffy and think it is pretty nice. how are the placebo sessions. i think board member degiorgio might have written some liner notes for this one so perhaps he could illuminate a little on the placebo sessions vs. sam suffy. i like how sam suffy sort of gets out there a bit sometimes and i fear the placebo sessions songs are a bit more tightly wound.

Degiorgio Posted April 12, 2005 Report Posted April 12, 2005 Sam Suffy is definitely a little more 'abstract' and experimental than the Placebo sessions... the Placebo albums are defo worth having though - there are tighter arrangements as you suspect - nice horn lines, the same deep funky drums as on Sam Suffy and great rhodes/synth work from Moulin. There is still some experimentation on the Placebo's - some odd time signatures for funk tunes, etc... but it doesn't get as 'out there' as Sam Suffy which is a phenomenal album IMO. Quote
Guest akanalog Posted April 12, 2005 Report Posted April 12, 2005 (edited) yeah. i am sure users of this site would enjoy sam suffy a lot. it even has a monk cover and it is on blue note now for some reason. and thanks for the reply, man. i knew you would have some good info. appreciate it. as long as i am asking you-off topic-how is gary bartz's "shadow do". i have a feeling you have heard it. is it is an above or below average mizell production?

Degiorgio Posted April 12, 2005 Report Posted April 12, 2005 Yeah - its nice that Sam Suffy is available on Blue Note... Moulin is signed to Blue Note/EMI France so I guess if he had the rights he just signed it to them for a re-release... wish they'd do the sam with the Placebo albums... I'm lucky enough to have originals of Ball of Eyes and Placebo but I don't have 1973... (when I visited Marc to do the sleevenotes for the Counterpoint compilation he had kindly found us a mint copy but the label owner who was doing the comp had first refusal so I missed out lol)! Bartz - The Shadow Do... is one of my fave Mizell projects... Bartz isn't a great singer (!) but the sunny uplifting nature of the music carries it off... one of those real 'feel good' Mizell productions... KD Quote
brownie Posted October 2, 2008 Report Posted October 2, 2008 Marc Moulin passed away last Friday. He died of throat cancer. http://www.marcmoulin.com/ Not much jazz interest in his jazz dabblings but an interesting allaround arranger! Quote
