jazzbo Posted February 28, 2023 Report Share Posted February 28, 2023 (edited) In 1957 when recorded it was I think less esoteric. The public was used to singing groups albeit not with the invention and expertise of these three all together. And there were The Blue Stars that Blossom Dearie had a hand in birthing that were known by jazz persons. Each of the three in this trio had a pedigree of experience and enthusiasm and some reknown and togethter they were really something new and exciting.

Who came up with this stuff?

And I find no problem moving from one disc to another, don't get stuck in a mood. Thank you ! That Miles in Espanol might be something I might purchase. Seems to be something nice. About speed-corrected albums. I think I bought those albums in a time when no speed correction was done. I purchased the Roost sessions via LP where the first session was not speed corrected, as well as I bought the Bird-Fats-Bud "One Night at Birdland" with a speed that sounds like a semitone up. Same was with the Bud Powell - Johnny Griffin encounter on "Hot House". But during that time I didn´t know that something can be recorded with higher speed. If I taped my playing or an LP with my cassette recorder it was always the correct speed. So I frankly believed that it´s not at wrong speed recorded, but PLAYED in a unusual key, just a semitone up. I have perfect pitch and if I hear something, I know what tone , what key it is what I´m listening, so I thought "wow, he can play so fast in F-sharp" and tried it out on my own instrument, having in mind that a good musician should play in any key. What hard school of self-learning, but not in vain. About moving from one album to another to not be stucked in a mood: Your suggestion is a reasonable one, but let´s say if I play a gig, you got the instrumentation, the set list and don´t change the players or the complete style with something else. We keep the set lists as variable as possible, having medium tempos, ballads, latin tunes, up tempo tunes and takin´care they all are in different keys. If I listen to an album, I think mostly about listening to a concert. Much of the stuff that I listen to if I HAVE the time for it, is live recordings of concerts, and it´s hard for me to listen to something completly else afterwards. It´s like the festivals in the past. Too much switching from one stuff to another for me. And as a player festivals are good money but the rest can be quite a mess, not enough time to stretch out, and anyway you seldom have the time to listen to the other acts too.

Justin V Posted March 1, 2023 Report Share Posted March 1, 2023 With Carl Saunders on trumpet. I haven't seen a reputable news source report his death, so I'm hoping he is still with us. I also finished listening to Saunders with Phil Urso yesterday, as I was in the middle of it in the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HutchFan Posted March 1, 2023 Report Share Posted March 1, 2023 (edited) Charles McPherson - Live in Tokyo (Xanadu, 1976) Elemental's "Xanadu Master Edition" reissue Hell yeah. This sounds GOOD. Elemental reissued McPherson's Live in Tokyo and Beautiful! -- but not New Horizons. Wish they hadn't skipped that one, since it's one of my favorite McPherson albums. Oh well, I am very grateful for what they did reissue. Besides, I've still got New Horizons on LP. Edited March 1, 2023 by HutchFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
