mjzee Posted November 21, 2019 Report Share Posted November 21, 2019 John Scofield Live is truly excellent. ย It's a quartet, with Richie Beirach, George Mraz and Joe LaBarbera, from 1977. ย Just make sure it's the expanded CD version, not the original LP.

Late Posted November 21, 2019 Report Share Posted November 21, 2019 Yes! Yosuke Yamashita's Clay. Hasn't been on compact disc since 1989. Can't wait. Will pick up the Waldron as well. I really, really wish Manfred Schoof'sย Distant Thunder on enjaย would be reissued. It's never been on compact disc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

felser Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 (edited) That's a really nice Max Roach session (ca. 1960) with Julian Priester, the Turrentine Brothers, and Bob Boswell.ย The Hampton Hawes looks interesting (trio with McBee/Haynes), though I have never heard it.

HutchFan Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 Some really nice stuff on that list. I only have a DL of Up Popped the Devil, so I'll definitely be ordering that one. ย 36 minutes ago, felser said: The Hampton Hawes looks interesting (trio with McBee/Haynes), though I have never heard it. Yes, the Hawes is outstanding.ย Be advised though: The audio fidelity is less than ideal...ย but the music is superb.

Late Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 Up Poppedย The Devilย is excellent. Recorded well though veryย up close โ hopefully Solid doesn't do too much with the transfer. Reggie Workman's bass sounds really good on this date. The Pepper Adams session,ย Julian,ย is also very good. Recommended. I haven't connected with the Dollar Brand date for some reason. It's certainly a solid session, but ... maybe I just need to listen to it more. I'm excited to finally haveย Distant Thunderย on compact disc!!! Akira Sakata just kills. Fierce music โ not for listeners who don't like "noise" in their tea! ย Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Late Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 Listening to Yosuke Yamashita'sย Clayย right now. The sound is AMAZING. Yes, it's louder than the vinyl โ Solid followedย theirย standard approach to compression โย but there's a live presence (it's a live date) that the vinyl doesn't possess. Far more visceral. (The sound does peak at times, but it's infrequent.)ย I can't recommend this one highly enough. It's beenย 31ย years since this session was on compact disc!ย If you like Cecil Taylor-esque trios (in this case clarinet, piano, drums), this recording is one you should check out. Yamashita's trio puts more space โ and quiet โ in between their noise than a typical Taylor session, if that helps to describe the recording. But there definitely is NOISE, inย the most positive of ways. It's alive in the best possible (free) way. Takeo Moriyama has got to be one of the most under-valued "free" drummers around. Tony Williams, I think, would have loved his playing. Anyone else have this new disc? What are your reactions? The music (if you like "free" jazz) is heavenly.
