Jazz for aficionados
Rok, I was just looking through my LP's and ran across that. I haven't heard it in so long that I was as impressed as you. It's not on the computer, my analog rig is down; so that means I'll have to do the same thing as you, meaning buy the CD. No way I would buy that Wardell Gray CD. When stuff like that doesn't sell, they straighten up and fly right. I like slow ballads by Wardell, let me know if you run across any; he was like Lester Young, but different. Enjoy the music. |
Rok, I looked at that CD, it's the one with the ballads like "Easy Livin", but I could live without 3 takes on it. We passed on Wardell once before because of recording quality, and I believe they cleaned that up; maybe they're going to get better in stages; we'll wait and see. In the meantime we'll be discovering a lot of other good stuff. Enjoy the music. |
Charlie Parker: Unissued / unheard Bird, is for Bird Fanatics or historians only. Not only are there the dreaded 'alternate takes', we also have 'false starts' and 'incomplete' tracks. Track #26 is a false start and incomplete. WTF! Interesting article, but read the track listing on Amazon before buying. I smell a money grab!! Cheers |
I'll second that motion on "Bird", and I'm a "Bird" fan from way back. Since I found a record that scored a home run by looking through the vinyl, I decided to do the same thing today, and I found a very interesting record; double down on the "interesting". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUeATOK2Lw4 Enjoy the music. |
