Gheorghe Posted February 20, 2020 Report Posted February 20, 2020 Now I came to the CD Nr. 4, the last one. Oh, all that Music, and the great Thing is you hear the whole tunes, not only Bird, but all the fine solos done by Kenny Dorham, Al Haig, and two guests Lucky Thompson and Milt Jackson. Maybe that´s why I hadn´t purchased the Dean Benedetti stuff, because I prefer to hear the whole tunes, starting with Bird and than with the great musicians who played with him. So this is among the very best Bird live stuff I ever heard……., Quote

We all hummed those catchy tunes "The Squirrel" "Good Bait", "Our Delight", and don´t forget Allen Eager, he is great on those sides. But we were mis-lead by the wrong cover notes of our Musidisc LP, it said it was done in 1949 at Birdland. Later I found out it was made at the Roost. Fats Navarro was an extremely talented player. So sad he was gone so soon! As for the Royal Roost recordings, there is yet another release, on the Jazz View label. But I haven't compared the material on these two-cds pack with the Fresh Sound disc. Agreed on Allen Eager, a marvellous player sadly underrecorded! Ernie Henry is another hidden gem, to be found in several Fats Navarro recordings for Blue Note and Savoy. 2 hours ago, Gheorghe said: So this is among the very best Bird live stuff I ever heard……., Yesssssss!!!

BillF Posted February 20, 2020 Report Posted February 20, 2020 May I join you in worshipping at the shrine of Bird, Fats, Allen and Ernie? So nice to see music of this era played! I'm almost tempted to start a thread titled "Playing Favourites: Reflections on Jazz of the Later 1940s", but am too lazy. Quote

duaneiac Posted February 20, 2020 Report Posted February 20, 2020 This compilation includes a nearly 13 minute version of "Europa" which, A) reminds one of how beautiful a melody that is when just played "as is"; brother,if you can't get busy with that melody as your background music, then perhaps it's time to set out the "going out of business" sign, and B) is quite the showcase for Eric Alexander.
