brownie Posted April 10, 2007 Report Posted April 10, 2007 Not related to the music, but Russell's The Outer View had three covers. Anyone know which was the original? I always assumed it was the OJC cover, but it might be the one with Russell in front of F.L. Wright's famous building ... Bought this when it came out. My copy has the cover shot of Russell posing in front of an abstract painting! The cover with the Guggenheim came after that one, as far as I can remember! Quote

ghost of miles Posted February 6, 2008 Report Posted February 6, 2008 Apologies if this has already been posted in another thread, but anybody else seen the late-1950s video that Doug Ramsey linked to on Rifftides today?The Subject Is Jazz with George Russell Wow... Ramsey's post about it and Russell here. Quote

Ramsey's post about it and Russell here. Quite the visual contrast between the dancing , ebullient Taylor and the impassive , cerebral Evans . Fine solos all around as you would expect from that talent at that time . Severinson is in some fast company here - just his luck that Scott rips off a hot solo right before his ! A pity that McKusick wasn't available for the show , for he , Galbraith and Farmer were so beautifully complementary . Would that there were some way to personally thank those who thoughtfully preserved , for the enjoyment of future jazz lovers , artifacts like this . Quote
medjuck Posted February 7, 2008 Report Posted February 7, 2008 I saw Russell with a large band in New York in 1985 or '86. I don't think he had a regular gig then. This was a concert. Good stuff. Quote
paul secor Posted February 7, 2008 Report Posted February 7, 2008 George Russell conversing with Ornette. (It's mostly a monologue.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHYOCOStIdQ Quote
six string Posted February 9, 2008 Report Posted February 9, 2008 'Outer View' original cover (Ken Deardoff designed it): This is the copy I have. Nice to know it's an original. I didn't know about the three covers. Any love for the African Game album on Bluenote? I picked it up on a whim a few years ago and really like it. For what it's worth, Jazz in the Space Age is probably my favorite album by him. Quote
Teasing the Korean Posted February 9, 2008 Report Posted February 9, 2008 For what it's worth, Jazz in the Space Age is probably my favorite album by him. That's a real gem. I never heard an album by him I didn't like. Saw him live circa 1980. What a concert. Quote

The man is a master. Quote
king ubu Posted February 12, 2008 Report Posted February 12, 2008 How about the other 80s BN? I have "African Game", need to spin it again... but I skipped the other one in the same sale where I got "African Game". Can anyone share the other covers of "Outer View"? I never saw any other than the one on the OJC! Quote

king ubu Posted February 12, 2008 Report Posted February 12, 2008 blocked at work, but I'll check them out tonight at home - thanks for posting them... I assume you found them in the interzone, Chas? Quote

king ubu Posted February 12, 2008 Report Posted February 12, 2008 Thanks for all the covers! Clifford, those Fontana covers are all rather cool (and some rather spooky I guess...) - there's a site dedicated to them, but I don't have the link at hand (it was posted here somewhere, that's how I found out about it).

paul secor Posted February 14, 2008 Report Posted February 14, 2008 Anyone heard this one http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?pid=7465475 ? A boot, no doubt. Too bad - looks interesting. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted February 14, 2008 Report Posted February 14, 2008 I have some recordings from a Paris concert in '64 that are really wonderful. I assume that the bootleg is really good... Quote
Guest Bill Barton Posted February 14, 2008 Report Posted February 14, 2008 Great resource, Clifford! Thanks for the excellent work. Those covers are timeless. Some of the music too. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted February 14, 2008 Report Posted February 14, 2008 I could never get in touch with Ms. Roling, so there's certainly a lot of holes to be filled... I know at least one (the Marion Brown) was done from Guy Kopelowicz' (our long-lost brownie) photograph, and he was never paid for the use of the material! Quote

Too bad - looks interesting. it was "stolen" from a series of shares I did over on dime... great music, and if you don't do the trading thing, I'd not hesitate picking it up if the prize is right!

jostber Posted February 18, 2008 Report Posted February 18, 2008 Has anyone heard this with George Russell and Bill Evans? Quote
Chas Posted February 18, 2008 Report Posted February 18, 2008 Has anyone heard this with George Russell and Bill Evans? That's a reissue of this Columbia album : along with three bonus tracks ( making their CD debut ) featuring Evans with Don Elliot from this Verve album : The Brandeis material is terrific . Bill Evans takes one of his best ever solos on All About Rosie , and Mingus' Revelations is essential listening as well . This music was out earlier on a Columbia Legacy CD combined with another excellent album called The Birth of the Third Stream : That CD had to leave off two tracks , so this Gambit reissue is the first complete issue of the Brandeis Festival music .
