New batch from Fresh Sound Records

[couw]

Don't know how he is on the Hubbard - never heard that one.

his solo is good on itself, but it's sticks out like a sore thumb in the performance (which isn't cooking too hot to begin with).

huh? so the solo of his is the best of it all?

it's like I wrote: the solo is good, but it's out of place and disrupts the flow. So you get a lukewarm performance which doesn't really take off anywhere and then Big Black throws some additional crutches between the spokes.

I guess another way of saying it is that his solo sucks.

I still like my idea of a short Big Black Special Edittion of that un-cooking night...

... and add the solo from the Randy Weston as bonus track.

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

I'd better get the Weston too. I taped my mate's copy of the Trip years ago and I've been waiting to find a real one.

More interesting material from Fresh Sound in their April New Releases list.

There is a 2CD set from a February 1956 Jazz At The Philharmonic concert in Hamburg, Germany, and a Jimmy Giuffre Live at the Five Spot in 1960 (with Jim Hall, Buell Neidlinger, Billy Osborne) CD among many goodies that look tempting!

I see they're packaging a lot of Fantasy/Concord stuff that's 50 years old.

Two comments:

1) No one told them it's Larry Young on Iron City.

2) The Wallington Bohemia has all the takes (there was a thread about that last year). I hope Concord can put that out legitimately; I'd hate to have to buy the bootleg, but I need every note Jackie ever recorded. Call me a obsessive-compulsive completist.

I'm glad I already have a TOCJ issue of the McLean quintet date from 1955.

Bertrand.
