jazzcorner Posted January 9, 2020 Report Share Posted January 9, 2020 1 hour ago, JSngry said: re: Harris & McCann - both were primed for this kind of marketplace synergy, having both had pretty good R&B Chart hits, Harris in 1968 with "Listen Here" & McCann with "With These Hands". in 1967, both on Atlantic. Les McCann has also a good selection on Pacific Jazz Records and some on Mercury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect choice of tempo, for one thing, and both Art and Sonny are inspired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gheorghe Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 11 hours ago, JSngry said: Very true. That record was a huge hit, with a lot of crossover appeal (I figured that out when I showed up to college my freshman year and met people who didn't know anything else about jazz, but they knew that record).. Of course, the "hit" was "Compared to What", which made it problematic for a lot of radio stations (there were "beeped" versions that got played on the stations in this area). Also, what radio play it did get was on Black and/or Underground Radio, so if you weren't tuned in to (pun almost unavoidable, sorry) that scene, you'd have no idea what was going on with that record. "Cold Duck Time" was also pretty popular, especially as a live/club tune. I was still playing it well into the 1990s. So yeah, a monster hit record. It had this cover when I was young and during that time it sold very well. I had quite a few from that "That´s Jazz" series: Mingus "Blues and Roots", Coltrane-Cherry "The Avantgarde", Ornette Coleman "Free Jazz", The Messengers feat. Thelonious Monk etc. …..

Though the two sets from March 6, 1970 have been recorded in much better sound without the added distortion. Strange Sony chose to only release March 7, 1970. The soundboard bootleg from the other night is an essential companion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of them are very good. I have almost the entire Coltrane portion of the series, except the ones I didn't need like The Coltrane Quartet Plays (APO Hybrid SACD). The mini-LPs are laminated and so not easily damaged (unlike the Alice Coltrane mini-LPs from 2004). This is the best Ascension CD I have heard. The Kevin Reeves from 2000 had too much highs, the Originals from 2008 also by Reeves was even worse with added compression.
