ArtSalt Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 I've always liked the Chet with strings record. I was joking there, somewhat. Chet's string album does get universally panned and cited as one of the worse examples of the genre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medjuck Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 I've been listening to the alternate takes. There's a lot of great Bird here that hasn't been heard in a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnS Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 IIRC I paid around £15 for mine from an Amazon seller in Germany. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l p Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 it's on spotify if you want to listen before buying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 I bought it, listened to it for a couple of days exclusively, and remain satisfied, extra-satisfied, actually, with the new material. It's fresh! Probably the only reason for a purchaser to be wary is if they have a reactionary phobia against strings in general, and/or of pop songs not played as revolt-bop.

king ubu Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015  Sounds enticing!  IIRC I paid around £15 for mine from an Amazon seller in Germany.I've grown so vary of those vendors (selling non-declared CDRs, wrongly described/graded used items, not reimburseming properly even if the error's theirs ...) - but looks like the best option in this case, alas. Hip-O being Universal-owned one would expect them to have proper distribution though ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnS Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 I can't understand why there is no European distribution.  My copy was new sealed and factory fresh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Finally got this and spun it. The new mastering is an improvement. I get what Jim says about the writing for strings. . . but they just sort of hang as curtains behind Bird for me, and Bird plays like Superman. Just an amazing sound and such a flow of ideas, faucet turned all the way UP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time will tell, though. I got it a while back - Jeff C. sort of pushed me over the edge and I'm glad he did. I should always remember that there ain't no bad Bird.

Quasimado Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Amazing that most of the alternate takes have not been released until now - there is some beautiful Bird here. Q. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
