king ubu Posted August 7, 2007 Report Posted August 7, 2007 discs 6 & 7 of the Sonny Rollins Prestige box - great, these two dates with Legge/Morrow/Roach and KD on the first! Sonny's in top form! I forgot how good they are, revisiting them because of my Roach listening trip... Quote

king ubu Posted August 15, 2007 Report Posted August 15, 2007 Bill Evans Riverside - disc 7 (starting with the solo session) Quote
king ubu Posted August 15, 2007 Report Posted August 15, 2007 Bill Evans Riverside - disc 7 (starting with the solo session) disc 8 now - the three sessions with Israels/Motian ("Moon Beams" & "How My Heart Sings" are excellent - I like them as much as the LaFaro/Motian recordings! Quote
king ubu Posted August 15, 2007 Report Posted August 15, 2007 Bill Evans Riverside - disc 7 (starting with the solo session) disc 8 now - the three sessions with Israels/Motian ("Moon Beams" & "How My Heart Sings" are excellent - I like them as much as the LaFaro/Motian recordings! Disc 9, the Hubbard/Hall/Heath/Philly Joe quintet - not sure I like this date one a lot, but then I only played it two or three times so far... Quote

Disc 9, the Hubbard/Hall/Heath/Philly Joe quintet - not sure I like this date one a lot, but then I only played it two or three times so far... Disc 10, just going into the Milestone solo session. The quintet with Zoot is much better, I think, than the one with Hubbard. Quote

Looking forward to the trio sessions with Israel/Bunker - favourites! Quote

Looking forward to the trio sessions with Israel/Bunker - favourites! playing those trio sessions now funny, just read it was Evans' birthday today... will continue with the Verve box later and plan to so all day tomorrow, too... about time I play all of this again! (In fact, some of the later discs on the Verve box I haven't even played before...) Quote
king ubu Posted August 16, 2007 Report Posted August 16, 2007 The Complete Bill Evans on Verve - disc 1 the opening track is great, and Manne is a perfect match for Evans, in my opinion! Quote
king ubu Posted August 16, 2007 Report Posted August 16, 2007 The Complete Bill Evans on Verve - disc 1 disc 2 now, once again leaving out the McFarland - don't feel like more than a trio right now... and at this moment it's "Round Midnight", the opening number of "Conversations with Myself". Quote
Matthew Posted August 16, 2007 Report Posted August 16, 2007 The Complete Bill Evans on Verve - disc 1 disc 2 now, once again leaving out the McFarland - don't feel like more than a trio right now... Go ahead, put me out of my misery. The McFarland session is one of the tops in terms of my favorite Evans session. Quote
Matthew Posted August 16, 2007 Report Posted August 16, 2007 Bill Evans: The Secret Sessions. Disk six. Quote
king ubu Posted August 16, 2007 Report Posted August 16, 2007 The Complete Bill Evans on Verve - disc 1 disc 2 now, once again leaving out the McFarland - don't feel like more than a trio right now... Go ahead, put me out of my misery. The McFarland session is one of the tops in terms of my favorite Evans session. Oh yes, I know... I left it out last time I made an attempt to dig into the Verve box and you (and also some others, I think) told me not to neglect it... anyway, I want to play the main beef and I'm in for some piano music, so it's the trios (plus solos / overdubs, will also play "Intermodulation"), but I'll leave the larger bands and the Zetterlund session for now. At this moment I'm into "Trio '64" and like it a lot more than last time! Quote
king ubu Posted August 16, 2007 Report Posted August 16, 2007 At this moment I'm into "Trio '64" and like it a lot more than last time! Disc 3 now, quickly approaching the end of the fine Peacock/Motian trio date Quote
king ubu Posted August 16, 2007 Report Posted August 16, 2007 Into the first lenghty live session(s) now - just started disc 5 (the date begins on disc 4 and goes on until disc 7) This is the Israels/Bunker trio - mighty fine! Quote
Matthew Posted August 16, 2007 Report Posted August 16, 2007 Bill Evans: Complete Fantasy Recordings. Disk one. Arrived in the mail today and I'm listening to Evans/Gomez/Morell at Yubin Chokin Hall, Tokyo. Very nice concert and the sound is also good. Glad I finally got this. Quote
