brownie Posted July 22, 2003 Report Posted July 22, 2003 Another vote for the Andrew Hill. Got the others in their original LP versions. Getting sort of tired at getting the reissues in new formats. And the wallet hurts. Very few of those reissues really improve on the original vinyls. Quote
Jazzmoose Posted July 22, 2003 Report Posted July 22, 2003 (edited) I hear you, brownie. Even though I may not have the original vinyl, it's really hard for me to pick up a reissue of something I already have when there's so much out there that I haven't even heard yet. Unfortunately for my wallet, this group falls into the latter category... Edited July 22, 2003 by Jazzmoose Quote
sidewinder Posted July 22, 2003 Report Posted July 22, 2003 (edited) Very few of those reissues really improve on the original vinyls. :rsmile: I have to agree. Still, this is a really excellent line up of new Conns from BN. My choice will have to be the Hill, although I'm curious to hear Mobley's 'The Flip' in full. I have several of the tracks on compilations but have never heard the full session. The rest I have in vinyl, which is my preference anyway, in one form or another. 'Fuchsia' is absolutely superb, so good that I've sought out a copy of the original ST-84184 release, although it also sounds pretty damn good too on the Mosaic vinyl. I've just been spinning the Toshiba vinyl of 'Bossa Nova Bacchanal' by Rouse. Nothing earth shattering but a nice session in the style of the Getz/Gilberto collaborations of that time, Kenny Burrell also plays nicely on this one - there's a second guitarist too by name of Chauncey 'Lord' Westbrook. If you want a laid back, groovin' selection, you won't be disappointed. Sort of reminds me of Ike Quebec's 'Soul Samba' in terms of feel but definitely with an eye to commercial sales potential. 'Sonic Boom' and 'Mother Ship' I also have in vinyl and I'm sure that both of these will score highly with the board membership. You can't go wrong IMO with late-BN Larry Young and the Morgan has some very nice interaction with David Newman, plus the usual fireworks from Billy Higgins. Nice stuff.

Clunky Posted July 22, 2003 Report Posted July 22, 2003 gotta be the Hill, might pick up the Hank but too many of his sessions are too similar Quote
Gary Posted July 22, 2003 Report Posted July 22, 2003 I cannot vote - I honestly cant choose between the Mobley / Morgan & Young - i want all three BADLY ! I already have the Sam Rivers - its a great CD. Quote
JohnS Posted July 22, 2003 Report Posted July 22, 2003 I'll definitely get the Hill and the Rivers. As for the rest, do I want to exchange my lps for the cds? I've always thought the Mobley date a big disappointment. Quote
David Ayers Posted July 22, 2003 Report Posted July 22, 2003 I wonder if we are expecting too much of the Hill? I'm not as keen as some people on previously unreleased sessions, in this case because this one has gone well to the bottom of the pile - Hill's unreleased catalog has had many bites of the cherry with BN both on vinyl and on CD. Having said that, Hill seems to have approved it... Quote
jazzbo Posted July 22, 2003 Report Posted July 22, 2003 The Hill is the only one I don't have in some format. So it got my vote. Quote
mikeweil Posted July 22, 2003 Report Posted July 22, 2003 The Flip, as it is the only Mobley session I've never heard, but honestly I'm just as curious about the Hill .... Quote
marcoliv Posted July 22, 2003 Report Posted July 22, 2003 my vote is for Lee Morgan but i´ll definitely grab all of them as soon they are available. i would have voted on Hill´s if the title was "Tomorrow is Now!!!" peace Marcus Oliveira Quote
