mikeweil Posted July 3, 2020 Report Posted July 3, 2020 Giving this another try - but somehow this trio never catches me as much as the one with Crosby and Fournier .... Quote

Peter Friedman Posted July 3, 2020 Report Posted July 3, 2020 Pepper sounds great, One of my very favorite jazz pianists Carl Perkins is marvelous. Simply a top level recording. Quote

duaneiac Posted July 3, 2020 Report Posted July 3, 2020 I just read the sad news today that Ms. Sloane suffered a stroke last week. I'm giving this recording a spin for the first time; it was still sealed, still with the Tower Records price tag on it, so it must have been one of the (many) items I snapped up during their going-out-of-business sale years ago.

duaneiac Posted July 3, 2020 Report Posted July 3, 2020 It's Newport time! Or it would be if things were like they used to be in the good old days of just 6 months ago. Tracks 5 - 9 included here were recorded at Newport on this date in 1959. Quote

HutchFan Posted July 3, 2020 Report Posted July 3, 2020 NP: Duke's version of "The Days of Wine & Roses" on this LP is really special. The way Gonsalves caresses that melody. Phew!!! 6 minutes ago, Peter Friedman said: Magnificent from start to finish !!! Quote
duaneiac Posted July 3, 2020 Report Posted July 3, 2020 Disc 1 of 2, recorded at Newport on July 7 and into the early hours of July 8, 1956. The studio "retakes" recorded on July 9th are on Disc 2. The Monk CD I listened to earlier had as bonus tracks 2 songs performed by Thelonious Monk with the Ellington Orchestra at the 1962 Newport Festival. Duke announced "Monk's Dream" as being Billy Strayhorn's arrangement. No announcement was made regarding "Ba-Lue-Bolivar-Ba-Lues-Are". Were these one time only performances or had Monk's group and Ellington's band done one of those multi-city package tours together and this was something they had already road tested? Did the Ellington band record either of these tunes, perhaps turning up on one of the "stockpile" releases that have come out throughout the past 30 years? I kind of wish one of Ellington's Reprise era albums had been an Ellington Plays Monk one, a mix of big band and small group tracks and most definitely an Ellington quartet performance featuring Paul Gonsalves playing "Ruby, My Dear".

Will look for more from this year. And just as I asked myself if there were more records with Billy Higgins in an organ combo (after hearing him on Shirley Scott's Strata East album) - well, here 'tis! Thanks for bringing this up. I ordered a copy myself. Quote
