Jazz for aficionados
This is the pressing that I have and that I bought from this source a while back. Have never heard the original, but I can tell you that this (my copy, at least) is more than decent sound wise. If I were to rate my copy for quietness, I would say A-. I am more tolerant of surface noise than some. Recommended. https://elusivedisc.com/dexter-gordon-daddy-plays-the-horn-180g-lp-mono/ Very nice record from one of my favorite tenor players. We recently looked at the great pianist Kenny Drew and I believe this was their first of many collaborations. I like Dexter from this period in his career. A little lighter toned and not as (almost) painfully behind the beat as he was later in his career. (Love the cover art.) https://youtu.be/JgfBUwUSsO8 https://youtu.be/y6oQNo7i0XE |
Do you think Kenny Rice would remember talking to me and my girlfriend when he sat at our table while watching John Coltrane perform at a nightclub in St. Louis? https://www.discogs.com/artist/397123-Kenny-Rice |
" Truth is that you tend to use this thread as a vehicle for personal story telling (not all real, by your own admission); sometimes even more so than simply for sharing and discussing the music. When you don’t score points you often act like a mean spirited old man. Interesting how truth always has a way of revealing itself." If any one wants to know the reason for my last post, ask Frogman? |
I saw this guy every weekend for an entire Summer, not only was he a fantastic guitarist, but a fantastic person as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-e5FVMt0FVw |
