JSngry Posted October 25, 2014 Report Posted October 25, 2014 Well, thanks, but really, I was just a kid who had an opportunity once or twice and was lucky enough to not fuck it up. That's about as far as that goes. Really, thank Red, and thank everybody like him. Quote
CJ Shearn Posted October 25, 2014 Report Posted October 25, 2014 The release coming out in January sounds great, will have to get it! Quote
Brad Posted October 25, 2014 Report Posted October 25, 2014 That is a heck of a story. Thanks for sharing it. Does anyone know how and where to order the set coming out in January? Quote
bluesoul Posted October 25, 2014 Report Posted October 25, 2014 That is a heck of a story. Thanks for sharing it. Does anyone know how and where to order the set coming out in January? No mention of it on the Elemental Music website yet, but it looks like Amazon sells the Jimmy Giuffre set they put out earlier this year. Some promotional videos on youtube and vimeo about this.

Brad Posted October 25, 2014 Report Posted October 25, 2014 (edited) Thanks. Will keep an eye on the Elemental Music site. Thanks for the links! Boy, wish I could listen to this right now Edited October 25, 2014 by Brad Quote
ghost of miles Posted January 30, 2015 Report Posted January 30, 2015 Just listened to disc 1 of the new Keystone set, and though I don't know "comeback" Red nearly as well as I do the 1955-62 period, it is some prime-sounding late-period Garland. According to the notes, this was the only time this particular trio (Garland, Leroy Vinnegar, Philly Joe Jones) played together, for a week at the Korner. Quote
JSngry Posted January 30, 2015 Report Posted January 30, 2015 Does it have him doing those longass intros where he takes the harmony apart before putting it back together to go into the tune? He could take into another world doing that. Quote
six string Posted January 30, 2015 Report Posted January 30, 2015 Well, thanks, but really, I was just a kid who had an opportunity once or twice and was lucky enough to not fuck it up. That's about as far as that goes. Really, thank Red, and thank everybody like him. Thanks for sharing that story JSngry. Your post was very informative and it solidifies and confirms with me my own understanding and love I have for his music. The booklet that comes with the Keystone Korner is well done with lots of remembrances by musicians, journalists and producers that worked with Red and everyone seems to have the same opinion about him and his music.

bertrand Posted April 22, 2021 Report Posted April 22, 2021 Did anyone ever contact the guys with the tapes so they could at least be transferred? Commercial release of a whole other issue, but get them preserved before they rot! And don't just hand a stack of tapes to Zev... Quote
JSngry Posted April 22, 2021 Report Posted April 22, 2021 The Leaning House guy was supposed to put out a release of selected Recovery Room tapes but that fell through. And now Dale McFarland's got stuff up on YouTube. I know Dale and will ask him about that. He's a good guy, not at all shady. Here's what's LOL about all that - for the longest, they recorded damn near every night - on 8-TRACK! Jesus, that was a good band and the type of club to hear them in. No tricks, no gimmicks, no hypes, no narratives, just people playing their lives for whoever showed up and themselves. RIP real jazz. Quote

No tricks, no gimmicks, no hypes, no narratives, just people playing their lives for whoever showed up and themselves. RIP real jazz. Amen to that. In 1978 I was a regular at all good jazz clubs in my town and heard great musicians, and like you said it, It was such a wealth of music then and so many occasions to hear that great stuff. The sound of that recordings.......fantastic, you can imagine you are sitting in the club. About Red Garland himself: I was astonished how old he looks on this pictures. only few strands of hair left, and slicked back. He looks more like an old clerk than a jazz musician. I have a special love for Red Garland: When I was 16, the first real jazz album I got was Miles Davis "Steaming". Until then I had heard only some Oscar Peterson at some friends and until then I thought he is the greatest, because I didn´t know others. When I heard those Garland solos, that nice thing on "Surrey with the Fringe on Top" and that chords on "When I fall in Love"...... I said: THIS IS MUSIC. And I forgot completly about Oscar Peterson. What may be the reason ? Maybe, young and unexperienced how I was then, I nevertheless had a feeling for what means playing music TOGETHER, not just banging all them 88 keys with a grin that means "I am the greatest".....

Turns out that these are Dale's personal tapes (reel-to-reel!) that he made for his show on the late, great KCHU-FM, a community radio station that was as ragged as it was right (and vice-versa). He is indeed taking good care of them. So that leaves the Donnelly collection of Recovery Room tapes that were last heard of in conjunction with Leaning House records. Quote
bertrand Posted April 23, 2021 Report Posted April 23, 2021 That is great! Has he had his reel to reel tapes transferred? Quote
JSngry Posted April 23, 2021 Report Posted April 23, 2021 Had/is still having. So he is mindful of the needful. Quote
rostasi Posted April 23, 2021 Report Posted April 23, 2021 Nice to hear Dale is still around. I'm pleasantly reminded of my days at KCHU and "Dallas Jazz News" as well. Quote
