Dan Gould Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 I used this track on a BFT. A lot of people missed it, iirc. And if you never heard, Aric, Hank's presence on this Montoliu session was like a "tryout" to determine if Steeplechase would be willing to give him his own date as a leader. "Autumn Leaves" was the only track deemed worthy of release, and that came only in the CD age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 Hank was recorded at the end of the session. He also recorded a version of Early Morning Stroll. I've heard all the takes, but memory fades. I think he did 2 of each tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.A.W. Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 (edited) The name is Tete Montoliu, and it's "for all intents and purposes". Edited February 21, 2010 by J.A.W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave James Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 The name is Tete Montoliu, and it's "for all intents and purposes". An old girlfriend of mine thought a chest of drawers was a chester drawers. She also though the game of chess was chest. Not my finest hour. Interestingly enough, she graduated from law school with honors and now writes and edits legal texts for law school instruction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With hearing like that I'll bet she was an old girlfriend ! You watch a lot of Golden Girls re-runs Dave ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brownie Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 Hank Mobley's swan song. This version should have retained Josef Kosma and Jacques Prévert's original title in french 'Les Feuilles Mortes' (Dead Leaves). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Garrett Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 An old girlfriend of mine thought a chest of drawers was a chester drawers. She also though the game of chess was chest. Sounds like she was more than a little chesty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
