Soulpope likes it, so that's a plus. If you don't have the first Teddy Charles Tentet album, you'll probably want this compilation of both: https://www.freshsoundrecords.com/teddy-charles-albums/4648-the-complete-tentet-vibrations-digipack-edition-.html Not all solid gold but all interesting at the least, and George Russell's "Lydian M-1" from the first Tentet album is excellent and unique -- right up there with "All About Rosie."

Soulpope likes it, so that's a plus. Soulpope and I both like it. It's a mix of large ensemble and small group. The larger group things are slightly "Third Stream"-y in a not sludge-y manner, and the small group stuff is plenty sweet, and oh yeah, Mingus on bass. Also, you get Hal Stein soloing in the larger band, which is a rare treat. Quote

Agreed, both of those Teddy Charles Atlantic titles are superb, as are some of the other albums he did in that era. Quote

I'd advise pursuing separate versions. The Anhokoran issue is Tentet only, and the small group stuff not included/left off is very good. Quote
duaneiac Posted February 20, 2019 Report Posted February 20, 2019 Disc 1 of 15. All was going along pretty nicely through the first four 15 minute radio shows on this disc. Ol' Hank sounds well lubricated at this session and he delivers the goods on tunes like "Nobody's Lonesome For Me" and "How Can You Refuse Him Now". And Hank Williams singing "The Blind Child's Prayer"?!?! I mean, c'mon -- heartstrings: prepare to be tugged! Then the fifth program begins with Hank singing the classic "A Mansion On The Hill". Oh my gosh! Could it possibly get any better than that??? Well -------------------- no. Then, you see, Miss Audrey appears. Miss Audrey, to be kind, made Yoko Ono sound like Dame Kiri te Kanawa. Then I looked into the booklet included with this Time/Life set and find out we're going to be hearing a lot from Miss Audrey over the next 14 discs. Oh yes we are. Thanks a heap, Hank. Oh yeah, and Junior too. Thanks a heap for that one. Quote
JSngry Posted February 20, 2019 Author Report Posted February 20, 2019 This is a kind of "thing" that if you don't do it really well, it just sounds stupid. Holman being one of the people ho invented this "thing", he most assuredly does not sound stupid. Other people, though...hey, don't ask me to not enjoy bill Holman because of what they do. That's just not right. Quote

I like it too. If you are a Teddy Charles fan then it's well worth seeking out. I also recommend this one, that I've not seen posted here. I have the Japanese Bethlehem version but it seems to be available from Fresh Sounds too. Quote

paul secor Posted February 21, 2019 Report Posted February 21, 2019 I have to give a tip of the cap to our own Mr. Kart for recommending this one. It sounds better to me each time I listen to it. Quote
