Blue Note Live at The Roxy

[Dan Gould]

Is anyone familiar with the mid-70s release, Blue Note Live At The Roxy?

I am curious about the Gene Harris tracks ... I'm well aware that Gene's music took a horrific turn after he disbanded the Three Sounds, but those were studio-created monstrosities and I am not sure how much of that style went into his live performances (judging from the Live at the It Club recordings, the trio still sounded good into the early 70s).

Is anyone familiar with this album and Gene's tunes on it? Are they trio, or synth and rhythm dreck? AMG isn't any help, as they list everyone's tracks except Gene's. On the other hand, if the tracks with no artist listed are Gene's, then one of them is "Ain't Nobody's Business" and I can't imagine that as synth-driven dreck.

The former GHF thanks you in advance!

my uncle made me a casette of this. In my mind, it is one of the worst Blue Note records to have been made. "T'aint Nobody's Bizness" is a Carmen McRae track, and Gene just plays a little Rhodes on the track "Blue Note '76" which is attributed to the "Blue Note All Stars". The only true all stars on that track are Bobby Hutcherson and Gene. Its not worth it.

so Gene plays zero accoustic piano on this?

Thanks for the warning. I didn't really expect to want it but I wanted to be sure.

no prob Dan. The album really sucks. When ppl are talking about how terrible "Night of the Cookers" is in another thread, BN Live at the Roxy really doesn't cook!
