sidewinder Posted November 24, 2023 Report Share Posted November 24, 2023 This is a delightful find, albeit lo-fi. A miracle that it was recorded. Dick Morrissey and Lennie Best Quartet at a pub gig in Maidenhead, Berks. Bonus is one of Simon Spillett's very best booklet liner notes, captures the era perfectly. Walked past this Victorian pub only last week - obviously much changed since its jazz era ended in 1975 but the building survives. Followed by another Acrobat find. This time a jam session at the Hopbine, North Wembley. Better fi on this one but an equally valuable release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gheorghe Posted November 24, 2023 Report Share Posted November 24, 2023 9 hours ago, ghost of miles said: … highly recommended, though I’m guessing many posters here are already familiar with it. I remember in my early days of Bud fandom either reading or being advised that this and the Xanadu Bud In Paris were prime examples of later-period Powell in outstanding form. And love hearing Coleman Hawkins and Powell together on the final four tracks. You are right. And I think Bud really was in top form if he had the possibility to play with old comrades who came to visit Europe. Bud with Hawk is fantastic, but I would also include "Blakey in Paris" with Bud playing "Bouncin with Bud" and "Dance of the Infidels" on his highest level. They are among Bud´s very best performances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghost of miles Posted November 24, 2023 Report Share Posted November 24, 2023 Came across this one used for $6 at my local record shop… one of the joys of in-store browsing is finding albums like this one that weren’t even on my search list.

T.D. Posted November 24, 2023 Report Share Posted November 24, 2023 On 11/21/2023 at 3:05 PM, HutchFan said: NP: I agree that Kako's music is much more classically-oriented than, say, Satoh or Kikuchi. Even so, I think he's made some excellent music. For example, I like these two albums very much: I've never heard Colour of Dream -- it sounds like I need to -- or Valencia. Thanks. Both these albums are good, I've listened to some of each on Youtube. Passage (the first one, piano + percussion) is much more to my taste. Legend of the sea - myself (the second one, more instruments + some voice) reminds me of 12-tone chamber music, which isn't necessarily a bad thing (I recently went on a Second Viennese School binge), but is a sound world I rarely visit these days.

Gheorghe Posted November 25, 2023 Report Share Posted November 25, 2023 Just perfect for me. On the rare occasions I can spend to listen to a record, mostly after midnight, this is the ideal stuff for me. Such great players, and such great compositions. "Sweet Love of Mine" and "Katrina Ballerina" are tunes I love so much. Some of the best players I ever heard, I had seen the group exactly on those days of early 1983. Then with Steve Turré who is not on this special date. It was THE group of the early 80´s. Some of the best things you could hear then and learn from....
