So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

[Peter Friedman]

Blue Mitchell, Joe Henderson, Ernie Watts, Walter Bishop Jr., Stanley Gilbert, Doug Sides

This album is basically disappointing to me. A couple of tracks I like, with good solos by the horns and the piano.But most of the tracks are  not to my taste. Those are the tracks where Bishop plays a tinny sounding electric piano and Sisaye Green sings obligatory vocals behind the music that I find terrible.

It's about time for me to make a single CD with all the Music Inn cuts, these and the two on Atlantic with the MJQ.

Just call me Aunt Dora...

More from Joanne Brackeen:

I first heard Joanne Brackeen in 1978 with Joe Henderson. Joe Henderson was and is one of my favourite tenorists and the big surprise was Mrs. Brackeen on piano, who sounded like someone who really loves McCoy Tyner, which is great, really great ! She was the surprise of the whole tour and very positively commented on "Jazz Podium". 

Some years later she was billed on a "Trumpet Super Night" and was billed on a Chet Baker-Joe Farrell group where she would have been on piano.  

Anyway there was three sets. The first would have been Chet-Farrell, the second Dizzy Allstar quintet, and the third Wynton Marsalis qintet. 

Before start the MC announced that Chet could not come because he remained locked in a camera de hotel în Roma. Whatever....... so it was a Quartet with Joe Farrell

. 
But during the course of the set they also did some tracks of Brackeen Houston but sorry to say I didn´t atract my attention. Somehow it didn´t sound like "jazz" and without a drummer I´m lost.......

So great ! 

Alice Coltrane with Ed Blackwell and Clifford Jarvis is tops. Pharoah Sanders and Archie Shepp, Cecil McBee and Jimmy Garrison, what else you can wish

And Pharaoh´s Harvest Time my new favourite. The second live performance at Willisau ...... wonderful, Pharoah has been one of my first musical loves.....

Finally got around to pulling this 2 cd set out for a listen. I love the ensemble portion on disc 2–always have loved the recordings of this tour, and this is one of the best as far as sound quality goes. I have dozens and dozens of Monk Quartet recordings, but there are fewer of these larger ensemble recordings.
