Lyons - Murphy: Red Snapper

[AmirBagachelles]

Downtown says these came in and sold right out. Has anybody seen this anywhere else in NYC? Has anybody listened to it yet?

[Guest Chaney]

DAMN!

He who hesitates...

[J.A.W.]

According to DMG's site it's in stock, but it might not be up to date.

To repeat Amir's question: anyone heard it yet? Opinions?

PAUL MURPHY - Red Snapper: Paul Murphy at CBS (Cadence 1167)

Featuring Jimmy Lyons on alto sax, Dewey Johnson on trumpet, Karen

Borca on bassoon, Mary Anne Driscoll on piano & voice and Paul Murphy

on drums & percussion. This is a Columbia studio recording from June

of 1982 and we did make a mistake in last week's newsletter by

mentioning that this was Jimmy Lyon's date, when in fact it was Paul

Murphy's. Formerly based in San Francisco, drum wiz Paul Murphy moved

to NY in the early 70's and was most fortunate to be able to record

in the legendary Columbia Records studio for this historic date. 'Red

Snapper' consists of some 19 pieces, all under six minutes but still

over an hour in length, a number of solos, duos and trios as well as

the quintet are featured. Although I completely unfamiliar with Mary

Anne and Paul (except for another date or two with Jimmy Lyons), both

the piano and drums are endlessly inventive throughout.  The first

two pieces consist of solo drums and are filled with restrained fire.

The quintet soon erupt on "The Scenery 1" with some high flying

trumpet blasting on top of the cascading piano and drums.  There are

numerous duos for Jimmy's alto sax and Paul's drums which are all

incredible, burning together with some fierce and intense force.  If

you do or don't already own that colossal Jimmy Lyons 5 cd box set on

Ayler Records, you still would want to own this essential session as

well - it is a wonderful thing to have this long lost gem available!

CD for $14-- Downtown Music Gallery

I'll phone Cadence in a little bit and see if they have this one in stock.

I like Murphy's Enarre. And he is really awesome on the Black Saint Trio Hurricane session. Don't know the Eremite of same trio.

Downtown had another 10 copies as of Fri. night.

Is this the same material as the "Cloudburst" LP that Murphy cut in the early 80s, or entirely different?

Thanks.

[king ubu]

Playing this for the first time right now ... "Red Snapper", that is - intriguing!

[colinmce]

Somehow never heard about this. I'd love to hear it.

[paul secor]

Played it again today and imo it's well worth getting hold of. For anyone who's into Jimmy Lyons, there are many tracks of good free blowing J.L.

[clifford_thornton]

Yeah, it is cool. I picked one up maybe three years ago.

[JSngry]

I completely missed this one...is it still semi-readily available?

I'm good for some Jimmy Lyons no mater what, always.

[king ubu]

Some beautiful Lyons here, indeed! Available from Cadence, that's where I just ordered mine.

[JSngry]

Also found it at Cadence over the weekend. Shipping seemed a bit gouge-y, but oh well...

[Head Man]

.....shipping seemed a bit gouge-y, but oh well...

I found it impossible to calculate what I would be charged for shipping, so........no order.

[king ubu]

Shipping was 12.50 - guess that's just what it takes these days. I wanted the disc, so it was fine.

[JSngry]

My shipping was something like $6.90...kinda bullshit, but, yeah, in this case, that's what it took, I guess.

Shipping rates can be determined (after a fashion) here: https://www.klompfoot.com/6F7B7F0620BD473B9046/shipping-rates.html

Not particularly user friendly, but...it works.
