Interesting. Was this actually a recording of a rehearsal? When are the recordings from? (Discogs is a no say).

The liner notes describe the session as a "party" in the "large shack" where Emile Barnes repaired mattresses. In the New Orleans heat, all band members removed their shirts. The band sounds different from traditional New Orleans jazz, in fact like a ragtime orchestra. Some great clarinet from Paul Barnes.

What has prompted the current Getz binge?

 

Expand  

It's the "easy listening" stuff, specifically. Part of a periodic self-inflicted urge to see if anything I had long disregarded out of hand might now have some occasional merit.

With this part of Getz, I find that I find him not particularly...good. But as a simple singer of melodies and as a spot player in an arranged setting, sometimes he's magnificent. And sometimes he's not. But Spotify makes it so easy to just hang out in that part of the record store at my convenience.

It'll pass once it gets done, of that I'm sure.

@Gheorghe,

Several of the best cuts in the Pendulum Mosaic Select set first appeared on this LP:

The David Liebman Quintet - Pendulum (Artists House, 1979)

However -- aside from the Mosaic set -- I don't think the music has been reissued in CD format.

I would say a summit of musicians I all saw live, mostly with their own groups so this is almost like heaven on earth, like other summits like "VSOP" from the same times, and much more back in the past the Massey Hall group. 

Maybe I should purchase this because it reflects all my upbringing as a jazz musican and most of all jazz addict all my live......
Each of them a very special favourit of mine. 

Much later, in 1983 when I already was playing my self for five years, I saw a "Timeless Allstars" scheduled at a big jazz festival. But it was not Curtis, not Cedar Walton, but no one less than the giant Jackie McLean, also with Hutch, with Herbie Lewis on bass and Billie Higgins and maybe this was not the most demanding music I ever heard (all things I´ve played myself 1000s of times (Blue´n Boogie, What´s New, Salt Peanuts, Star Eyes), it was the most power it could be at that moment, even if I had heard on the set before the Jazz Messengers, and the group after the Timeless Allstars was Dizzy´s great quartet......

If I ever listen to piano solo other than the few Monk-Solo pieces, it is very very possible that I listen to Art Tatum. 
The only really the only time I heard an Oscar Peterson that sounded good, sounded great, was a solo "When I fall in love" but later I discoverd that it was a copy of what Tatum always knew how to play , same chords, same stuff, so Tatum is THE Master of pre bop piano. Strange enough I never really liked his group performances as much as I like his solo performances. 

If I ever had to play a solo gig which I hope it will not happen, I can hope only that I find at least a procentage of his great left hand........

Not even as Rob & Laura?

I don´t know where, but in my youth I had read something about Charlie Ventura´s "Bop for the People"  which featured Jackie and Roy but I never had heard it. 
I think in Austria, vocal jazz if it was not Ella on tour or something, had a minor role among the jazz buffs. So all the Charlie Ventura I heard was on that session with Fats, Allen Eager, Buddy Rich..... Saturday Night Jazz Session". 

But this video is nice, not necessarly the music that is not really my alley, but them nice girls who still have faces like girls and have legs.... harder to find now.
Is that piano player Dave Brubeck. Not that I´m a fan of his, in contra, but the guy looks exactly like him ....

I do think stuff periodically too. Just three or four days on an all Bert Kaempfert or all Jackie Gleason diet, or something. You do find things out.

I love their Storyville recordings, but the CTI are awesome as well.

Right now

Cold this morning! Fiona the dachshund let me sleep an hour longer than usual this morning and I’m grateful. Eerily quiet outside!

Starting the day off with . . a prayer meeting, digital variety.

Finishing off my first time through this excellent box set! Amazing sound quality for 'forties material. And the Red Norvo session starting off this disc is great.
