The Magnificent Goldberg Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 I have the US vinyl - I think this is my favourite Hutcherson MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest akanalog Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 really? i never liked this one. granted, i was dumb to sell my CD of it for like 15 bucks, but it never did it for me. i think i wasn't feeling the rhythm section. didn't seem to bring the heat. certainly like many other hutchersons more....

Chuck Nessa Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Frequently disagree with Akanalog but at least he listens and has reasons for his likes and dislikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest akanalog Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 thank you, chuck. i guess. but in all seriousness, maybe it is just the live recording doesn't do bernard, drummond and hancock justice. though bernard does screw up on one of the tunes, doesn't he? loses the form? don't remember. but on blue note-i would say i like stick up, spiral, medina, patterns, oblique, total eclipse, linger lane, cirrus, waiting and knucklebean...off the top of my head...better than this guy. dialogue too. i would rank montreux with happenings and components and head on as not doing it for me like the other albums and san francisco as ok if i am in the mood for it but not comprable to the other albums.

Son-of-a-Weizen Posted June 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 I think this is my favourite Hutcherson MG I tend to agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 (edited) I think this is my favourite Hutcherson MG I tend to agree. For my taste, start with Dialogue (and sideman dates at the time) and my interest drops as the years go by. He became a generic "note spinner" very quickly. This date is about the end of the line for me. Nice technique though. Edited June 28, 2006 by Chuck Nessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel A Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Isn't this the album where the pianist gets lost on "Moontrane" and plays the A part over and over? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster_Ties Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 (edited) To answer your question, from one of the various on-line instances of "A Critical Discography of Woody Shaw"... Live at the Montreux Jazz Festival; July 5, 1973 Bobby Hutcherson - vbs; Cecil Bernard - p; WS - tp; Ray Drummond - b; Larry Hancock - d. 1. Anton's Bail (Hutcherson) 12:34 2. The Moontrane (WS) 10:42 3. Farallone (Hutcherson) 13:11 4. Song of Songs (WS) 13:50 Bobby Hutcherson -- Live At Montreux (CD) Bobby Hutcherson - Live At Montreux: tracks 1,2,4 (LP) Probably more worthwhile from the standpoint of a Hutcherson fan, but WS has some very good moments. Unfortunately, Bernard drops the form of "Moontrane" during Woody's solo, and keeps playing the A section with the first ending -- and throws Woody off. The band in general sounds a little underrehearsed on the first two tracks. The previously unreleased track "Farallone" is very good.

andybleaden Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 (edited) Hmmmmm Never looked at it that way before I must admit I bought the cd years ago when it first came out and loved it ever since. Thought it was a cracking set in all......Moontrane in particular.......maybe it because I liked bum A notes Edited June 30, 2006 by andybleaden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
