jazzbo Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 (edited) These Muzak/Japan reissues in 2 cd sets sound wonderful--I have this one and the Monk, Gordon, Griffin, Sims/Brookmeyer and Konitz. I'm debating whether to get the Jackie and Roy. Ben Webster "Saturday Night at the Montmartre" Edited June 24, 2020 by jazzbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted June 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 Popular Favorites Played With A Touch Of Class seriously, it's a nice enough record until Peterson "improvises", which is almost always a bunch of mood-busting notejaculations. Riddle do what Riddle do, though, in a good solid B+ version (ok, A-, maybe), and when Peterson just plays the melody, more or less, it's a fine "mood" record. But that motherfucker is hellbent on busting the mood first chance he gets, unfortunately. Great pianist, excellent musician, but just a damn poor concept of what he need to do to matter. The less he plays, the better he sounds. Did nobody ever tell him that? But i like Nelson Riddle, I really do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbo Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 Trying this one again. I like Shabaka here but overall I really don't get into the style of these. . . .which has kept me from buying their other discs. . . so far. . . .

HutchFan Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 This CD collects 2 LPs that were compiled from five different recording sessions, so it's a bit of a grab bag personnel-wise. Ammons, Stitt, and McDuff make it rock solid regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm. That does look interesting. Thanks for the heads-up, Jim. I dig Mason's organ work. He's fantastic on Rusty Bryant's LPs Fire-Eater and Wildfire.

JSngry Posted June 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 Other than eric Alexander's indigenous cypherness and Fathead being mislabeled as being on tenor when he's clearly on alto, nothing to complain about here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted June 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 Ok, on the whole, I prefer O'Day the "character" to O'Day the singer (but only by some, and then not by THAT much), but this is a helliva good record. for both her and Gary McFarland.
