Gheorghe Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 My wife bought this wonderful set of music from the Kenton Big Band for me for Chrismas . right now the "Peanuts Vendor", really fine latin stuff on that album. I´m not so familiar with most of Kenton´s work so this X-mas present was most welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 Got this for 1 € plus shipping. Hibbler was a true original, and one of the best singers of his generation, IMHO. Now, more Hibbler: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It amazes me that what we hear here is, due to the recording technology limitations of the time, only a rough approximation of what Sidney Bechet's playing actually sounded like -- and yet this music still kills me with its vigor and cockiness and sense of fun and adventure. I don't know if I could have withstood hearing the full power and majesty of Sidney Bechet's playing live and in person. It'd like be enough to make a body tremble. Yes sir! You hit the nail on the head. Bechet's music is full of vitality! It's LEAPS out at you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted March 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 Not sure why John Scofield, or George Adams, for that matter, were brought in for this one other than "name appeal" or some other label-centric synergy. McCoy solo is more than satisfying enough for me. The additions seem to diffuse the focus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter, that guy could play. This reminded me to listen to John Tchicai's last recording by this Garrison Fewell group. With Roy Campbell, Jr., Steve Swell, Dmitry Ishenko and Reggie Nicholson rounding out the band, it's an album many here would enjoy. I was part of the Kickstarter for it and have a notecard signed by the band (minus Campbell). When the official release date got pushed back, Fewell made a nice CD-R edition to send Kickstarter backers. He and Campbell left us not too long after Tchicai passed away.

Justin V Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 Phil Wright - Feeling Wright: A thread about Buster Cooper and Thurman Green's wonderful E-bone-ix led me to pull it out for a couple of spins and order this album by the date's pianist. The seller's description said that the booklet had writing that said 'My Husband and Gloria Hearry?' on it. Upon receiving it, a Google search revealed that the signature was that of Bond girl Gloria Hendry, Wright's wife! Pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, though I must admit that I listen rarely to the earlier 1960/61 Hubbard Albums, I listen much more to the more modal Things he did on the 1964/65 Albums like "Blue Spirit" and "Breaking Point". Not that the earlier Albums are not good, they are fantastic, but it´s still the old hard bop Routine and I love Hubbard most for the stuff he developed after that.
