J Larsen Posted January 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 I should check back tomorrow to see if there's a Chico Hamilton set for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WD45 Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 Yes, that's the one - well worth picking up IMO. Gets well above average play time in my system. It's loose but focused, informed by fusion without really being fusion. I guess that's why MGF reminds me of it so much - except MGF is lacking in the focus department. Word to that. Love that Michael White album. I sold an extra CD copy of Iska on eBay for $20+ some years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest the mommy Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 are you talking about "the land of spirit and light"? white had many dope impulse! albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest the mommy Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 (edited) MFG has one song which is better than all the songs on iska but iska is a much better album. iska has some real "songs". there is that space-ey bossa thing, for instance. and the last song swings pretty hard for a bit.

sidewinder Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 I just found a copy of Odyssey of Iska laying in a New York Press newspaper box in midtown Manhattan. A very rare 'New York Press-ing' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Larsen Posted January 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 This is easily the best cd I've ever found in a newspaper vending machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clunky Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 I think Odyssey is a much better record, but I'm not going to say anything bad about Moto Grosso. Well, I will! It's a pretty raggedy session, actually. Never really gels, imo. Not for nothing was it kept in the can until after Weather Report started making waves. Odyssey, otoh, is all the way there. I picked up Moto Grosso... quite recently ...it's a diffuse session but well worth a listen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Larsen Posted January 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 And if so, with what? Since you ask, it was folded up in cardboard. Took a little courage to open it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeBop Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 I just found a copy of Odyssey of Iska laying in a New York Press newspaper box in midtown Manhattan. New York Press? Isn't that one of those 'swingers' newspapers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeBop Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 (edited) Yeah, who's Iska and what Odyseey is she on? Sounds like one of those movies... Edited January 7, 2007 by BeBop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertrand Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 That's really tasteless if you actually know the answer. You might want to rethink your post. Bertrand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robviti Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 That's really tasteless if you actually know the answer. You might want to rethink your post. Bertrand. for those who don't know the story, here's an excerpt from an interview in the May 2003 issue of Straight No Chaser: SNC: Was there a particular experience in you life that caused you to embrace the faith [buddhism]? WS: When our daughter [iska] was born she had some immunisation shots and six hours after she had them we saw that in her cot she was jerking. We found out later she had brain damage. As time went on, while I was out on the road, I would hear that my wife had to drive my daughter to the hospital because my daughter would have seizures, this happened many, many times. Herbie Hancock’s daughter was born around the same time and Herbie’s wife and daughter and my wife and daughter would be together some times when the seizures started. Herbie’s daughter was vaccinated by the same doctor's office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no idea... not to make you feel worse (because you obviously didn't know about this) but iska died when she was a young teenager.
