Same music, different cover? On 3/30/2025 at 2:08 PM, Kevin Bresnahan said: Pharoah Sanders - Crescent With Love (Evidence). Playing disc 1 now. The opening track could turn off some, as Sanders' take on 'Lonnie's Lament' is a very direct imitation of Trane's version, with William Henderson doing a superb imitation of McCoy as well. While I appreciate this, others will probably "Been there, done that" this type of approach. In context, as a ballad collection highlighting Coltrane tunes, I think it fits. And FWIW, I could also see someone thinking 2 CDs of ballads could get boring. But there is a time & place for discs like these and as I sit down to dinner with my wife, this time & this place is one of those. I'd also add that I appreciate that Evidence toned these Venus dates down for their CDs. Venus CDs are mastered really loud. Love this Kevin, this is awesome! "But there is a time & place for discs like these and as I sit down to dinner with my wife, this time & this place is one of those." This is what matters. My wife and I play a Love Supreme (yes, she really likes it!) doing the same thing you are doing here. Love this post! Quote
jazzbo Posted April 1 Report Posted April 1 (edited) Yes, nothing new but the cover and the excellent mastering. Starting off a soggy morning with some excellent music from the "Classic Vanguard Jazz Piano Sessions" Mosaic box set, disc III. All Mel Powell sessions. I have loved this music for many years, just so swinging and smart. Edited April 1 by jazzbo Quote

There was a time when I was hoovering up everything from this generation of Chicago players, such a great scene. Quote
