Has it been bootlegged previously or released legitimately before, and is this release legit or a bootleg? Thanks -- MS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No electronics, but otherwise a lot more "contemporary" (i.e.: less intentionally "retro") in terms of compositions and performances...everything, actually. IMO the "hottest" of the VSOP records. Â One of the sought after japanese "Direct Cut" recordings from this time .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Kart Posted November 22, 2019 Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 Enjoyed  both sides of Vol. 1 for sure, but didn't quite see how Buckner's work, enjoyable though it is, is also (as Jim seems to imply) that unusual or weird. Freewheelingly loose it is, if you will, especially in this jam session context, but all the other players seem to deal with it in a more or less unthreatened, swirl of a cape manner, the way a matador might deal with a rampaging bull. Of particular interest, I thought, was the way Roland Hanna (whose solos IIRC follows Buckner's on both tracks) seem to have imbibed some of Milt's freewheeling juice. 5 hours ago, soulpope said: This old warhorse is imperturbable ....

I'd just turned 8 years old when that record was made in February 1976. So it pre-dates my first forays into jazz by about ten years.

They usually have a few good solos, but just one long set of solos gets rather tedious in my opinion. There are, of course, some exceptions such as the lengthy Jam Session with Bird, Hodges, Carter, etc. I would find these very long tunes much more interesting if there were arrangements with some group playing between and setting off each soloist.

HutchFan Posted November 22, 2019 Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 Does it bother anyone besides me that the photo on this 1971 recording is from 1947? Sure, that's a terrific photo of Monk -- and a famous one. But why not choose an image that's from around the time that the record was made??? That photo is anachronistic. ... Of course, the music is far beyond all criticism.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Count me in. Here is another example for this practice of using cover photos of a much younger musician Chet certainly did not look like that in 1982.

Another VERY famous anachronistic cover photo: This was the first version of KoB that I purchased. I soon realized that the photo was out-of-time AND reversed! Edited November 22, 2019 by HutchFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
