skeith Posted February 24, 2004 Report Posted February 24, 2004 Just picked this one up and it is quite, quite, good!! Same trio but much better sound quality than "An Evening With Joe Henderson" on Red. JoeHen fans where are you???? Quote
Eric Posted February 24, 2004 Report Posted February 24, 2004 Can anyone comment on this version? Which tracks are on the CD and DVD respectively? http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?...&cart=178287555 Eric Quote
ghost of miles Posted February 24, 2004 Report Posted February 24, 2004 I'm curious, too... is that "12 extra tracks" a double-CD set with an added DVD, or are the 12 bonus cuts all on the DVD only? Quote
Saint Vitus Posted February 25, 2004 Report Posted February 25, 2004 The first 12 tracks listed in the CDU page linked are on DVD of Liberation Music Orchestra at Montreal Jazz Festival in 1992. The final 4 are the CD tracks. This is an import version of the limited edition CD/DVD 2-fer released in Korea last month. Buyer beware ... for the DVD could be region-3 coded and not playable on US players. This DVD is separately available in the US as: Charlie Haden - Liberation Music Orchestra Quote
Free For All Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 Got to love the Hen! I didn't realize this was out 'til I saw the thread. Picked it up today. I'll be back to comment, although I can't imagine it'll be anything but GREAT! Quote
DrJ Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 Haven't yet had a chance to grab it - but WILL BE soon. Can't wait. Quote
skeith Posted February 27, 2004 Author Report Posted February 27, 2004 Hey posters on this thread, It's awfully lonely on the Joe Henderson planet, isn't it? Quote

JSngry Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 THIS is the original, and still the best! Quote
JSngry Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 Does the CD spine look like this? I don't THINK so! Red, black, and green. Can you tell your babies what they mean? Quote
skeith Posted February 27, 2004 Author Report Posted February 27, 2004 this is all great guys, but I hope somebody wants to discuss the Montreal Tapes!!! Quote

Stefan Wood Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 The one with Don Cherry and Ed Blackwell is good! Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 The one with Don Cherry and Ed Blackwell is good! Some prime Don Cherry. Quote
RDK Posted February 28, 2004 Report Posted February 28, 2004 I've got all of these except for the latest (didn't even know it was out prior to this thread) and highly recommend them all. Quote
Free For All Posted February 28, 2004 Report Posted February 28, 2004 Just finished listening to this for the first time, and it is GREAT! Joe is in top form and is playing his ass off. A long cadenza starts off Round Midnight, and one of the tunes, In The Moment, is just that- free and spontaneous. Joe tears up rhythm changes as usual on Passport. All The Things You Are uses the same latin groove as the State of the Tenor version, but the performance is not at all redundant. I'd say this is some of the better Joe I've heard. The recording is great- Joe plays off mic a bit every now and then, but it's not a distraction- you can just see him weaving around. He's venturing far from his usual "bag o'tricks"; I don't mean to call him a predictable player, and his bag o'tricks is hipper than most anyone's, but sometimes I like to hear him get away from the Joe-isms we seem to hear a lot. To me that says he's feeling inspired, which is the case with this recording. Charlie Haden's bass sounds a bit odd to me- seems a little different than the sound he usually gets. It's almost a little Steve Swallow-like. What do y'all think? Al Foster is as great as usual. I love the way he plays solos over the form of the tune. This to me is much more than the usual all-star gig- there is much chemistry and communication and just plain fun between these guys. I look forward to Sangrey's essay on this recording- I'm sure he'll describe things much more eloquently, but I'm expecting a big HELL YEAH from him. Quote
skeith Posted March 3, 2004 Author Report Posted March 3, 2004 Scientists are reporting a strange phenonemon. Apparently, planet Joe Henderson's orbit has altered, taking it further and further away from the Organissimo Sun. A shame. Quote
