JSngry Posted September 3, 2021 Report Posted September 3, 2021 It's a UK product, a 12" 45. No indication that it's an extended mix, Happy to see that I'm not the only one who danced to it...only I danced alone, because...that's just the way I dance. Quote
mhatta Posted September 4, 2021 Report Posted September 4, 2021 Hank Jones toured Japan in 1979. As far as I know, this is the only time Hank worked with George Duvivier and Shelly Manne. There was one live album (originally titled Live in Japan) at the time, and now there is another album of the remaining recordings, both of which are very good. I think they are more imaginative than the famous Great Jazz Trio with Tony Williams and Ron Carter. Quote

Oh wow... the comments here talk a bout "Robbie Vincent" playing this when it first came out. I have no idea who Robbie Vincent is/was, but apparently a very popular/inluential UK DJ who aimed at a dancing crowd. So that explains the UK 12" single for the discos! All we got over here was ansgst-y prematurely dead white critics moaning about "Sonny ain't what he used to be", and over there people be DANCING to this record. It's true what they say, right? That dancing keeps you young? Sonny's younger than I'll ever be. Quote

OT, but in recent years I've been deeply impressed by various interviews that portray Sonny's "spiritual" (for lack of a better word) side. May sound trite, but IMO he's a truly inspirational figure.

sidewinder Posted September 4, 2021 Report Posted September 4, 2021 (edited) I remember buying this one that year on CBS, with its late appearance by Eddie Jefferson - and enjoying it. For me though, the release year was dominated by those Blue Note/UA ‘Jazz File’ releases. Edited September 4, 2021 by sidewinder Quote

But I didn't mind the studio version, tbh. I have never seen Sonny actually "pandering"...trying things with less than full certainty, yes, but never in a cynical way. Besides, "Harlem Boys" is one of the highlights of that record, just an awesome track (caused me to get a speeding ticket and almost a trip to jail, but that's another story for another time/audience), and that's actually....danceable! Yes, and in 1979 I saw Sonny Rollins live with the quartet with Mark Soskin, Jerome Harris and Al Foster. And on the same festival was scheduled Larry Coryell. So I had to have that album when it came out, as a reflection about the live performances I attended (both Rollins and Coryell). And even if some of the albums of that time got also negative press, now that I look back and so many of those geniusses are gone, I often listen to the albums that came out when they lived and when I saw them performing. It was the time when we all waited for new albums of our favourites coming out, Hubbard, Henderson, Dexter, Woody Shaw, VSOP Quintet, Art Blakey, and we always were very quick to buy those albums....

I like the other two a lot too. The version of “Lonely Woman” on the O&ND is amazing - a case of the ECM sound used for good not evil Quote

For me though, the release year was dominated by those Blue Note/UA ‘Jazz File’ releases. I think, in Viena it was in the record shops early 1980. We saw Dexter in March 80 at "Viena Jazz Fruehling" and the next day hurried to "Radio Kratz" and asked for new Dexter albums and he handed me this one, together with Manhattan Symphony. I bought them both. Yes, those two tunes with Eddie Jefferson "Dexter Dig´s In" and "Papermoon". It´s interesting that "Dig´s In" is played in G here (original version D-flat), and "Papermoon" is in D-flat) ! I don´t like "Ruby My Dear" so much. Monk´s music doesn´t really fit to Dexter, that´s my opinion. Great cover photo ! I would have liked to know where it was made. Looks like a palace from the 18´th century. It always reminded me of the famous Schonbrunn in Viena, only 15 minutes to walk from my house. Others have to travel thousands of miles to visit it Edited September 7, 2021 by Gheorghe Quote

clifford_thornton Posted September 7, 2021 Report Posted September 7, 2021 I was just revisiting & blasting Harper's "Live in Europe" on Soul Note last night... great record indeed. Quote
colinmce Posted September 7, 2021 Report Posted September 7, 2021 Good list Clifford. have or have had all of those except the Curson, Lacy, and Pilz; the latter two are on the ol' wantlist but the Lacy esp. is a ridiculous pull. Quote
Gheorghe Posted September 9, 2021 Report Posted September 9, 2021 I don´t know if those two were mentioned. It seems that the big Festival "Velden 1979" was mostly Milestone stars like Rollins (latest album Don´t Ask" from 1979), Ron Carter (latest album Parade from 1979, Joe Henderson (latest album "Relaxin at Camarillo" ). And the finale was Woody Herman. Here´s the album he made in 1979 with the same personnel I saw, but with great guest stars....) Quote
