sgcim Posted July 27 Report Share Posted July 27 He was only 49 and still playing his ass off. This just came out yesterday and the bass player taped a lot more. There's some distortion when they get loud, but a lot of spirit and swing. The piano player is good, along with the rhythm section. https://dickpatterson.bandcamp.com/album/the-last-night-at-shaners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjzee Posted July 27 Report Share Posted July 27 Interestingly, Derryl Goes, the drummer, plays on Smith's 1968 Verve LP "Phase II," which I believe was his last LP other than half an album on Concord. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never knew that. You can tell that the group had a lot of stuff worked out in Colorado, where they played live. Smith got burnt out on NYC sometime in the early 60s. He could see where the music biz was going. He said he never looked back in his rear view mirror as he approached the Geo. Washington Bridge.

Someone I know was so overwhelmed by the CD, he contacted the person in charge of putting out the album, and he says that the bass player on the gig taped a lot of other gigs the group did, and he's obtained legal approval to release all of it! This stuff is JS at his best, with a group that is smoking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Dryden Posted August 1 Report Share Posted August 1 How do people make any money selling a limited edition CD of 100 copies? Maybe they expect to see a lot of downloads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Dryden Posted August 4 Report Share Posted August 4 Arrived today, it is a cdr. Cost cutting is evidently necessary for such a small batch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
