Larry Kart Posted May 21, 2023 Report Posted May 21, 2023 Menza, Noto, bassist Dave Young. and drummer Terry Clarke at a Toronto Club in 1980 -- 63 or so minutes of mostly ferocious post-bop. Sound is good, though Young is somewhat too prominent in the mix; the athletic Menza and the heated thoughtful Noto are at their best. Quote
colinmce Posted May 21, 2023 Report Posted May 21, 2023 This is a pretty obscure one, there's is also a Fresh Sound 2xCD of 1981 live recordings called Live At Carmelo's Jazz Club with a decidedly more all-star band including Sal Nistico and Shelley Manne. Have you heard that? If so how would you rate it against Steppin' ? Quote
jazzbo Posted May 21, 2023 Report Posted May 21, 2023 I've heard Live At Carmelo's Jazz Club, first as tapes circulating among collectors, and then more than a decade later the Fresh Sound cd set, and the playing is great. The sound is good on the 2 cds. I have not heard the Noto material. Quote

Noto is in great form on both, though on. the Carmelo's album Andy Simpkins' bass is also too prominent IMO. Noto intrigues me. He came out of Clifford and Dizzy I think, but he's got his own thing -- as I said in a previous post, for a player that hot he's very thoughtful -- his lines really make sense and at times will become meditative in the midst of fiery flurries. A plus for Carmello's is Strazzeri -- a great comper and interesting soloist. Quote
soulpope Posted May 22, 2023 Report Posted May 22, 2023 The "Carmello's" recordings are excellent .... btw also because of the prominent bass ... Quote
