duaneiac Posted January 4, 2019 Report Posted January 4, 2019 One could do a lot worse than to begin the day with track 1 ("Here Comes The Sun") or track 15 ("New World Comin'") from this compilation. Ms. Simone did the near impossible as she out-Sinatraed Sinatra here with her incredible version of "My Way". Quote

Peter Friedman Posted January 4, 2019 Report Posted January 4, 2019 On this good album we get to hear some solos by baritone sax player Jack Washington. Jack was on the Bennie Moten Band from 1927-1932 and with Count Basie from 1937-1949. I do not recall hearing Washington play any solos during his time with Basie, wonder why? Here on this Paul Quinichette session, Jack does a nice job with his solos. Quote

I like these sessions a lot and I can't find much wrong with Washigton either but FWIW both Ira Gitler (writer of the original liner notes) and John McDonough (writer of an update for the reissue on Prestige P-24109) find him "a bit rusty". Ira Gitler also stated in the original liner notes that Jack Washington can be heard soloing with the original Basie band on "Doggin' Around", "Somebody Stole My Gal" and "Topsy".

duaneiac Posted January 4, 2019 Report Posted January 4, 2019 Disc 3 of 3, with music from 1972-73. "Adios, Nonino" is one of the finest pieces of music of the 20th century, IMO. Quote
