jazzbo Posted November 11 Report Share Posted November 11 Now on to disc 4, the first of the box set that I have not ever heard before. . . and I’m happy (though not too surprised) to discover the sound quality is up to the previous two night’s excellent standard. And the music is yet more of this quintet discovering what they can and will do, listening to each other and stretching out and into the changes. Amazing material! “Miles in France 1963 & 1964 The Bootleg Series, Vol. 8” disc 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabshakeh Posted November 11 Report Share Posted November 11 Masayoshi Takanaka – T-Wave His records always have such great covers, and the internet loves them. I listen to them every once in a while to remind myself what they sound like and why I do t really care for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gheorghe Posted November 12 Report Share Posted November 12 14 hours ago, HutchFan said: I love the sax-bass-drum trio format. But this one is a little different. Swallow's electric bass gives the album a different sonic texture compared to sax-bass-drum trio albums that use upright basses. . . . So you get a bit less low-end heft and a bit more guitar-istic delicacy. IMO, this is the best Eastern Rebellion album -- in no small part because of Big George. this might be interesting, I never heard about it. Dave Liebman is one of my earliest heroes in music. Adam Nussbaum I think was his drummer in a band in the late 70´s with the blood young John Scofield and Ron McLure and most of all Terumaso Hino who played a Don Cherry like pocket trumpet. Steve Swallow does not much appear in my discography but what I had heard sounded great. I think I have him only on acoustic, let´s say with Paul Bley, or with Jimmy Giuffree. In any case this might be exactly what I am lookin for.... 9 hours ago, Peter Friedman said: Is there a tune "Moonglow" on it ? I think I had heard that somewhere. As much as I like Lou Donaldson I find he should have made more records with good contemporanious fellow musicians like Art Taylor, Paul Chambers, Wynton Kelly or something like that. I never really liked the 3 sounds. It´s fantastic trio that is sure, but too much in that Oscar Peterson way of trios....... 10 hours ago, jazzcorner said: East Wind EW 8040 (Japan 1976) - Lennie Tristano " Descent Into The Maelstrom" - rec. 1961 & 1966 - Engineering: Lennie Tristano a.o. Oh , this is one of the strangest records I have. The Descent sounds like Cecil Taylor. I bought that very early I think right when it came out in 1976 and still was not really ready for quality. That´s why I liked mostly the tracks that is trio, because I liked the loud drumming, but now I have heard again to it and the drumming of this Nick Stabulas or what is his name is terrible. I don´t know what Tristano thought about it, but the stuff should have had a better bass player and drummer. The faster track is actually "You stepped out of a dream" . But Tristano never had the patience to play a them clearly. He just starts with 2 or 4 bars of it and than starts to improvise. But jazz is first of all music, not exercises and I fear with all the genious Tristano had, in later years he lost the trace and became only a bitter and unpleasant teacher, too far away from musicianship..... The two tracks solo in Paris in the mid sixties sound good but once again it is not wholly played the ballad which should be "Darn that dream" a tune I love , I really love that tune.....

Full agreement to your critic! to quote you: 'Jazz is first of all music' I don't know myself how to take that LP. Looking back at his Capitol sessions this LP came to me like a shock. Cecil Taylor like is a good description and I am not a fan at all for such sounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dexter Gordon, Wayne Shorter, Freddie Hubbard, Palle Mikkelborg, Herbie Hancock, Cedar Walton, Ron Carter, Mads Vinding, Pierre Michelot, Billy Higgins Tony Williams, Bobby McFerrin, John McLaughlin, Bobby Hutcherson such a coincidence. Yesterday I read the chapter about the film in Maxine Gregg-Gordon´s book about Dex. How Freddie Hubbard was flown to Paris without anybody tellin him he´s gonna make a film, and then just play a blues, and oh yeah, also on a fine "Rhythm a Ning". But I think the tracks on this BlueNote album also were on the film, especially As Time Goes Bye, which I missed on the Columbia LP. But Blue Note should have made an album of some of Dexters post film performances as the "Round Midnight All Stars". I saw some on video and it is much better than the short film tracks. He had slowed down but still had something to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
