Tower Records' Blue Note Sale.

[Rooster_Ties]

Also, what is this?? Jason Moran - "Jason Moran" TOCJ-66068

One of his domestic albums released with a different title?

Up -

I'm still curious about this Moran disc. If it's music that's not available elsewhere, it's definitely got my attention.

Thanks,

Erik

Can't believe it's really anything different. Probably his debut album as a leader, would be my guess. (And they just left the title off.)

And with the 15% off/free shipping "taxday" coupon, threw in Jimmy Giuffre 3's 1961, which I've long been waiting for because I refused to pay the exhorbitant full list price on this ECM title. Still WAY over priced, but at least some off. About this one - I have and enjoy FREE FALL, how much similarity is there?

Tony, you're in for a huge treat. To respond to your question first — I actually don't think there's too much similarity between 1961 and Free Fall, as the latter seems to intentionally abandon almost all of the sonorities the former created. Both are wonderful, but, at least for me, relatively separate sound worlds. Or, to put it another way, Free Fall is one step further down the evolutionary path Giuffre's music was taking at the time. If only this band had had the financial/commercial success it needed to stay together!

When I first heard Fusion and Thesis ("1961"), these were the only albums I listened to for about two months. Dig in and enjoy!

Then, of course, you'll want the recent two-fer on hat.

My how I wish Giuffre's two subsequent 60's trios (with Don Friedman and Barre Phillips, then with Richard Davis and Joe Chambers) had been locked up in a studio, forced to record hours and hours of music.
