I remember the fuss when it came out, it was never really going to live up to it all. Crosby is such an important figure. Quote
Rabshakeh Posted September 1, 2021 Report Posted September 1, 2021 Surprisingly enjoyable. I like it more than I did then now that the hype is long gone. Agreed, re Crosby. Quote

MG Why ever not? A photo taken of her used later for an album cover. No mystery there, surely "The cover is a photograph by Peter Hujar of Warhol Superstar Candy Darling on her deathbed (aptly titled "Candy Darling on Her Deathbed").[5]" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Am_a_Bird_Now "1974 photo of Andy Warhol superstar Candy Darling on the cover of Antony and the Johnsons' second full length, I Am a Bird Now, is the perfect complement to the ghostly hymnals that flit and sigh behind its black and white shadows. A melancholy but arrestingly beautiful image, it depicts Darling on her deathbed; bright flowers float behind her upturned arm like a cluster of soft, pale moons radiating light onto the bleached sea of sheets in which she's drowning." https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/467-i-am-a-bird-now/ Quote

jazzbo Posted September 2, 2021 Report Posted September 2, 2021 Disc 4 of the UHQCD version from Japan of Lee Morgan "Complete Live at the Lighthouse." It's nice to have a full run of a club appearance this way--I enjoy this in the way that I enjoy full runs of Grateful Dead shows in a box set. A way to deeply absorb the music. Quote

The independence of his hands and that STRONG left hand..one of the more interesting and substantial solo piano records of the "jazz" corpus. And three volumes (3 LPs on 2 CDs, actually) is a great chance to just get all up in there with it ,It's the kind of music that is built for that! Quote
jazzbo Posted September 2, 2021 Report Posted September 2, 2021 Kenny Burrell "A Generation Ago Today" Universal Japan SHM-CD 2021 Bass – Ron Carter Drums – Grady Tate Guitar – Kenny Burrell Piano – Richard Wyands Producer – Creed Taylor Saxophone – Phil Woods Vibraphone – Mike Mainieri Recorded December 15 & 20, 1966, January 31 and March 28, 1967. A very nice date with piano or vibes only on two tracks, the rest just Woods, Burrell, Carter and Tate. Swing indeed. Nice remastering on this most recent reissue from Japan! Quote
