Alon Marcus Posted June 24, 2006 Report Posted June 24, 2006 Some good ones were not included like "Moon Alley" and "Stories", and I like these albums very much, but you still can talk about them in the "other" category Quote
GA Russell Posted June 24, 2006 Report Posted June 24, 2006 Widespread opinions! I like Sail Away very much, but I voted for Art of Rhythm. Quote
Ken Dryden Posted June 24, 2006 Report Posted June 24, 2006 I like all 14 of the Tom Harrell CDs I own, plus the LPs that haven't made it to CD. I would like to point out that there are two different Tom Harrell CDs titled Sail Away. The poll probably refers to the Contemporary/OJC title, while the import released by Musidisc and out of print is a 1991 date with pianist Kenny Werner, bassist Paul Imm and drummer Andre Ceccarelli. The songs: Yestedays; Sail Away; Graititude; Glass Mystery; Coral Sea; Buffalo Wings; Sticky Wicket, with all being Harrell's songs, except for Jerome Kern's "Yesterdays" and Kenny Werner's "Sticky Wicket." It's a strong release as well. Quote
fasstrack Posted June 24, 2006 Report Posted June 24, 2006 A lot of sideman dates from the 70s have some of his best work and even some of his tunes: Ronnie Cuber: 7th Day of Acquarius (Open Air) Harold Danko; Coincidence Bill Evans: We Will Meet Again Phil Woods: Live in NY Horace Silver: Silver 'n' series Bob Berg: New Birth For Tom's leader albums I like the smaller label stuff better: Passages Stories Form Total (his first recording done in '79 or '76. Originall called Aurora. Rerealeased under current title on Pinnacle. Produced by the late Arnie Lawrence Great record) Play of Light Sail Away The best RCA I thought was Labyrinth. His solo on "Hot Licks on the Sidewalk" is beutiful. Nice writing. Art of Rhythm is good too, nmore for the ensemble writing than his playing IMO Quote
