I guess Benny Golson deserves credit for the arrangements -- and Percy Heath too for the way that he and Butterfield dance around one another so beautifully in the basement. and Miles Davis Quintet - Live in Europe 1969: The Bootleg Series, Vol. 2 (Sony Legacy) Disc 2 Incredible. All of them. But Wayne! Phew!!! The Miles 1969 is really interesting. Such a large range of program, they played some old swing stuff like "NO Blues" or "Milestones" and also the then brand new Bitches Brew stuff like "Miles runs the Voodoo down"...… Only the tune "Directions" never really reached me, somehow it´s too free, but not free in the manner I like it (Ornette Coleman), but in a colder, more intellectual manner…..

But since I recognized the tune, I knew I had it from some oddball "blues" LP box I got years ago, pretty sure it was the only session I transferred to digital (maybe the other was Odetta?). Anyway, with Teddy Edwards, so many, many from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted July 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 simultaneously exciting and depressing. The energy level is high, and Red Holloway is in his primest of prime forms here, but Sonny Stitt, in keeping up and not falling behind, sounds...tired, and old, like an aging warrior who is doing this because there's nothing else he CAN do...he's still got skills, but you can also hear that he's wearing himself out. No matter how good it is, hearing Stitt here can possibly ask the question of it this is all there is to this, maybe there's something else to be had out of this life. ? Records like this need to exist, because that's a question that should always be asked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a subgenre--the swinging jazz priest/reverend. There is a follow-up album on RCA, with less esteemed sidemen, but live at Baker's Keyboard Lounge.

duaneiac Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 Tab Smith is one of those guys who, since I have only a couple of discs featuring him, and since I only listen to those discs infrequently (i'm sure it's been years since I last listened to this CD), each time I do listen to him, it's like making a new discovery each time! "Hey, this guy's good!". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gheorghe Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 Right now the second disc, with the for me a bit hard to understand "Directions", the Spanish Key from the later album Bitches Brew, and strange enough for that period, a swinging "No Blues" and Nefertiti from earlier periods.

Have at leat 3 of those shown album covers. Hackett is always good on these moody discs. Sometimes also Toots Mondello.

HutchFan Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 Listened to twice earlier today: So much to love about this record. But Johnny Hodges on "Blood Count" and "Day Dream"! Oh!!! ... It's so much more than beautiful. Now more Duke from around the same time: This week, I'm taking PTO but not going anywhere, having a relaxing staycation. It's much needed after several months of long days at work. So I'm getting even more music listening time than usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
