Thanks to Mr. Rudy van Gelder, may he RIP."Byrd in Flight" by Donald Byrd on Blue Note 4048, first pressing. from 1960 w/ Jackie McLean, Hank Mobley, Duke Pearson, Doug Watkins, Reggie Workman, Lex Humphries- from two gigs.
Love this album - first pressing!!Donald's best LP, IMO. Another great Byrd performance is on this Dexter LP:1965 Blue NoteDexter Gordon - tenor saxophoneDonald Byrd - trumpet Kenny Drew - pianoNiels-Henning Orsted Pedersen - bassArt Taylor - drumsOnly 2 tracks w/trumpet on "One Flight UP", but both LPs have a lyrical, soaring quality. Solid swinging and great tunes leave you wanting more.neo
1967 Black LionJohnny Griffin - tenorKenny Drew - pianoNils Henning Orsted Pederson - bassAlbert "Tootie" Heath - drumsThis is a live session recorded at the Jazzhuis, Copenhagen. It's a current reissue on 180g vinyl. Nice pressing of a good session of standards, including Griffin's Blues for Harvey. neo
Well, it's not a bad recording, and the record is in decent shape, but I guess I was hoping for more yodeling. Either that or I made the mistake of hitting Ebay after wine! Oh, and I bought not one Slim Whitman record, but two!
Was that Thunderbird wine? Remember the movie Mars Attack?It was Slim Whitman's song "Indian Love Call" which made the Martians heads explode. neo
