I have heard in Japan in the 80´s or 90´s or early 2000´s were tea houses where they always spinned music like this, I mean "Cool Struttin", "Blue Train", Donaldson´s "Blues Walk" and so on. And.....oh yeah....the cover photo is fantastic, it has everything I like and you can imagine how day dreams for a jazz loving teenager were "one day I´ll get it, one day I´lll have a woman with legs like this....."

Rabshakeh Posted June 10, 2022 Report Share Posted June 10, 2022 Sunny Murray, Odean Pope, Wayne Dockery – 13# Steps On Glass (Enja, 1995) Pretty underwhelming stuff. 1 hour ago, Referentzhunter said: First American press best sounding, better than first UK. That's interesting. I always found my British version very muddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard textures predominate. Sonny's touch is very percussive and hardly resonates at all. (I hear something similar in Walter Davis of the same era.) Jackie, too, of course. Compare him with the much softer sound of Hank on Dial S for Sonny. That album has Louis Hayes, who is considerably less hard and aggressive than Philly on Cool Struttin'. The only player on the album whose "hard" credentials could be questioned is Farmer, who was sufficiently versatile to be a member of the Gerry Mulligan quartet not long after.

nighthawk68 Posted June 10, 2022 Report Share Posted June 10, 2022 I recently grabbed all the Xanadu at Montreux volumes. Some wonderful music and a nice addition to my growing Xanadu collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, Art Farmer didn´t make many records for BN, I think he was with Hank on some Horace Silver album.........oh yeah, on "No Smokin´" since I like to play that tune.... I have only one Art Farmer record, it´s "To Duke with Love". He was a regular here in Viena and played at least twice for several days at a club..... During the 70´s I heard a very very strange remark from a club owner, who booked a lot of great musicians, but when some guy at the bar asked if Art Farmer also will play at that joint he said "no comment about Art Farmer". The customer insisted "why ?" and the club owner answerd: "Art Farmer tries to be whiter than the whites..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Bresnahan Posted June 10, 2022 Report Share Posted June 10, 2022 Jim Alfredson's Dirty Fingers - A Tribute To Big John Patton (Big O Records). Excellent CD. No offense to the organissimo dates, I really like this date by Jim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
