GA Russell Posted August 4, 2014 Report Posted August 4, 2014 This is another of Laurie's download releases. $10.00. http://artpepper.bandcamp.com/album/in-copenhagen Quote
Peter Friedman Posted August 4, 2014 Report Posted August 4, 2014 This is another of Laurie's download releases. $10.00. http://artpepper.bandcamp.com/album/in-copenhagen I have had a 2 CD set of this material for quite a few years. I very much enjoyed hearing Art play with a legendary pianist that had never previously recorded with Pepper. Quote

medjuck Posted August 5, 2014 Report Posted August 5, 2014 Who's the rest of the rhythm section? I don't think Laurie names them on the download page. Quote
soulpope Posted August 5, 2014 Report Posted August 5, 2014 Who's the rest of the rhythm section? I don't think Laurie names them on the download page. David Williams (b) and Carl Burnett (dr) Quote
soulpope Posted August 5, 2014 Report Posted August 5, 2014 Must be great to hear, two giants you will not be disappointed Quote
mjzee Posted August 5, 2014 Report Posted August 5, 2014 I have a lot of Pepper, and wouldn't call this top-tier. Art and Duke don't mesh that well (possibly for the reasons Laurie mentions), everyone sounds tired, and sound quality isn't great. Quote

Though perhaps this is not the very best Art Pepper session, it is still quite a good one. Duke Jordan plays well, and contrary to what mizee said, the audio quality is fine. Quote

king ubu Posted August 5, 2014 Report Posted August 5, 2014 Is this the Galaxy two disc set offered again as a download? Quote

king ubu Posted August 6, 2014 Report Posted August 6, 2014 Thx, don't need it then ... but will have to look for my CD, time for another spin - remember it as being pretty good! Quote
Peter Friedman Posted August 6, 2014 Report Posted August 6, 2014 My copy is a 2 CD set on the Japanese TOFREC label. Quote
soulpope Posted August 6, 2014 Report Posted August 6, 2014 My copy is a 2 CD set on the Japanese TOFREC label. TOFREC was the first release before Galaxy - btw the japanese version carries superior sonics...... Quote
JSngry Posted August 7, 2014 Report Posted August 7, 2014 Is this the proper place for me to ask for help in "getting" latter-day Duke Jordan? It's never really resonated with me. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted August 7, 2014 Report Posted August 7, 2014 I am partial to "Midnight Moonlight" (solo etudes) and "Double Duke" (two-fer of a trio session with NHOP and Billy Hart) on SteepleChase. Quote
soulpope Posted August 7, 2014 Report Posted August 7, 2014 Is this the proper place for me to ask for help in "getting" latter-day Duke Jordan? It's never really resonated with me. If 1974 is late enough you should go this way.... Quote
Gheorghe Posted August 12, 2014 Report Posted August 12, 2014 Yeah great stuff, and I remember a great album Duke Jordan together with Chet Baker, "No Problem" if I remember right. Quote
Peter Friedman Posted August 12, 2014 Report Posted August 12, 2014 Duke Jordan's recordings on Steeplechase are to my ears delightful. Duke has a very identifiable style that makes it fairly easy for me to pick out his solos in the majority of cases. His note selection, phrasing and ability to swing beautifully have made him someone whose playing I greatly admire. Quote
Gheorghe Posted August 14, 2014 Report Posted August 14, 2014 He became better and better and better. I must admit, I didn´t pay very much attention to his playing when he was a member of the Charlie Parker Quintet and - not talking about Bud - , I preferred Al Haig, sometimes John Lewis and Tadd filling in that role, and I wasn´t somehow influenced by Miles´bashing, it was a long time before "his" book came out. But the Duke Jordan from about 1960 on, during the following decades - fantastic ! Quote
Eric Posted May 8, 2020 Report Posted May 8, 2020 Been listening to this set quite a bit lately. Art is on fire throughout. Great sound too. Quote
