Rabshakeh Posted January 11, 2022 Report Share Posted January 11, 2022 1 hour ago, HutchFan said: I think the fact that J. Redman's albums were so heavily promoted had as much to do with non-musical factors as musical ones. Not hard to "package" an attractive, articulate young man. OTOH, his middle-of-the-road-ness -- music-wise -- might have been a positive from the Marketing Department perspective at Warner Brothers. Just like his appearance, it was non-threatening. ... In other words, it comes down to "major label" nonsense. All that said, I enjoy some of Redman's music. I just think his level of promotion (especially in his early years) had much more to do with marketing machinations than music. For sure. I'm just surprised there wasn't anything better that they found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HutchFan Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 Giovanni Hidalgo - "Time Shifter" (TropiJazz/Sony, 1996) Excellent music. Along with Hidalgo, bassist Eddie "Guagua" Rivera is really catching my ear tonight.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillF Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 (edited) Unconventional (Hampton style) piano technique, which is fine, but why didn't they give him a decent piano to play on? Edited January 12, 2022 by BillF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Trio Barron-Williams-Riley was also part of the Ron Carter Quartet that played in 1979 at Velden Jazzfestival. Carter played the piccolo bass only on that occasion.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbo Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 David Bowie "Toy" from the latest (fifth) box set, "Brilliant Adventure." This is the first official release of the album. This is a fascinating album. . . Bowie in 2000 re-arranging and re-recording songs from '64 to '71. The label decided not to release it at the time. Â Pretty darned awesome sound on this edition, as is the case for these box sets. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toy_(David_Bowie_album) Just released is a three cd set including more material. . . I may get this in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 (edited) Disc 3 of Miles Davis "Bootleg Series Vol. 1" Sony Blu-Spec CD edition.

Dub Modal Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 A couple of Don Grolnick records today. Not a player I'm at all familiar with, but a track from Nighttown showed up on this month's Blue Note playlist and I was intrigued. Enjoyable records for sure, with some iffy choruses by the horn section on Nighttime. Dig Ehrlich's bass clarinet when it's spotted. I was way outside of the jazz scope in the early to mid 90s, so I'm guessing this was well within the mainstream of the time; and they honestly don't strike me as being much different than what Brian Lynch is doing currently. Very much in the pocket, thematic, with some cool solos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted January 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 Â Probably a "supplemental" Ra record, but it's a good one, intimate and thoughtful. Plus,any additional unmask the batman is always welcome here! Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
