Peter Johnson Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 Here's my vote for Stefon Harris' "Grand Unification Theory," a tremendous release from early this year which continues to see my CD player on a regular basis.

.:.impossible Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 Here's my vote for Stefon Harris' "Grand Unification Theory," a tremendous release from early this year which continues to see my CD player on a regular basis. Peter, I received this for free through BMG and I'm upset that I used one of my free CD picks on it. It makes my skin crawl. And all that production... Can you talk a little bit about what you like about it. Maybe I can listen again with certain positive elements in mind. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 I forgot to mention this as one of my favourite reissues - Top quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muskrat Ramble Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 Another vote for Mode for Joe under the reissue category. Outstanding album, but that should come as no surprise, considering who's involved: Henderson, Morgan, Fuller, Hutcherson, Cedar Walton, Ron Carter, and Joe Chambers. "Caribbean Fire Dance" is one of the hardest-swinging jazz performances I've ever heard. It almost set my speakers on fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
