Orchestra – Not In Our Name

Now playing:

Masahiko Satoh - Amorphism (Portrait, 1986)
with Eddie Gomez & Steve Gadd

Redolent of the 1980s -- it's the synthesizers (among other things) -- but also compelling and unique.

oh them album covers of that time 😄

I only have the Miles and Horns. The Side One with Rollins is very fine and has immortalized the blues "Down", which he also played live at BL. 

Side II I think is that stuff with Cohn and Zoot, composed by Cohn, well it´s nice and "tasty", but maybe a bit to much like tunes for an old "show orchestra". But beautiful solos.

Somehow "Peckin´ Time didn´t become a favourite. I had great expectations when I bought it in the States/FL in 1999, but I think it´s the drummer Charlie Persip, who is more a big band drummer I think. 
He also ruined the otherwise fantastic 1953 Mobley-Benny Green live set, where he plays a very old Gene Krupa styled drums with 4ths on the bass drum, so covering completly the bass lines......, it just goes "doof daff doof daff" all the time.

All artwork by Don Martin of (later) Mad Magazine fame!

The Farmer is the jewel here, IMO.

Coming back to this after many years (if not decades!) I'm struck by how far Miles is from the bop that preceded this and in which he was a participant. In fact, his drawn out, inflected utterances bring to mind figures of an earlier generation, such as Johnny Hodges or Ben Webster.

I like Brew Moore. I have some of him as a sideman with Maggie, with Machito and with Miles from the late 40´s - early 50´s, and then I think a double CD live on Steeplechase......., 

As a pianist I think it was a very comfortable thing to play with him.

I also am a big fan of Brew Moore.
