So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

[JSngry]

1972 live dates, but I question the full accuracy of the personnel on "Perception", unless Bill Hardman turned into Woody Shaw and Dave Schnitter decided to play soprano...

Also gotta wonder about the 1972 date in general, just because.

No matter, it's a pretty good record anyway!

definitely the sound of a working band. ❤️ 👍🆗🦾👁️‍🗨️

Fully agreed! I spin these Moody albums frequently. And it sounds like a band although he rarely lets the other horns take a solo.

[JSngry]

I think it actually was a working band, a road band. That accounts for those tempos and those ballads, perfect for playing dances!

I´d also wonder about the date 1972. 

Dave Schnitter was part of the comeback of Blakey in the late 70´s , ´77, ´78 and as much as I remember, in the early 70´s the Messengers practically didn´t exist since Blakey was constantly touring all over the world with the Giant´s of Jazz. And also the next years were absolutly lean years for the Messengers. Only the renewed interest in acoustic jazz in the late 70´s brought them all back for top billing. It was the band with Schnitter, Ponomarev, Bobby Watson, James Williams, Robert Irving that brought them back into full action and full houses......

Very interesting trumpet player. I first had heard him on the two Cecil Taylor albums for BN. 

I think, not many people know that he was about the last musician to receive some advices and encouragement from Bud Powell, who lived round the corner.

A candidate for a Tone Poet reissue on LP, for sure.

I have a CD reissue which I think was put out by Water in the US, sounds pretty good.

Smooth jazz guitarist. Late 70s / Early 80s. Not the same person, despite me having assumed they were for years.

That looks like a killer band but I have to say, if I saw that CD cover in a bin back in the day, I would've skipped right over it. What a horrible cover design. It's like a graphic arts major vomited all over it.

Yup, the cover art is ugly -- but the music is terrific.

My adult son -- who is a working (visual) artist -- saw the cover earlier today.  He laughed and said: "Eww.  Early digital."
