Bill Evans- New Jazz Conceptions (Riverside).

Like to comment on this some. First up, this is a later release on 45rpm vinyl from Analogue Productions but you wouldn't know it if someone hadn't told you. There is not a thing on the jacket or in the liner notes that tells you it is not from Riverside, 1956. There is, I suppose, the fact that it's on two records. I've yet to hear Bill Evans so boppish. Or, Paul Motian, Evan's drummer on many recordings. The photo on the cover is pristine and the liner notes original and both the front and the back are heavy laminated. It's mono- don't know much that wasn't round this time- and it sounds like it was recorded with a single mike meaning that instruments are realistically in place and likely from just above the piano cause you can hear the inside of the box. At first I thought there may have been a pick-up on the bass but after having checked and tightened the bolts around my mid/bass drivers I am less inclined to think so.

This is the first remastered album I've heard from Steve Hoffman and Kevin Gray and I'm totally impressed. 180g and quiet as a mouse and realistically dynamic. The album cover, too. Seems like a lot o love went in to this. Thanks, Jerome.

Jerome sent this to me to audition. Jerome is nursing hurt feelings cause of an irrational send off he got a couple of weeks ago. I don't blame either cat. I mean shit happens, dunnit? I would like to see him back. Pull on yer boots, my man.

Allen Toussaint - The Bright Mississippi

Very highly recommended to anyone who loves American & New Orleans music. Superb recording and quiet surfaces too. Triple aces.

Quote

Although he only lived to be 23 and recorded for just a little over three years, Booker Little proved to be one of the top young trumpeters of his era. Victory and Sorrow was his fourth and final recording as a leader. Little's melancholy tone is heartbreaking on the date's lone standard, "If I Should Lose You," and he contributed all of the other six selections. With fine playing from tenor saxophonist George Coleman, trombonist Julian Priester, pianist Don Friedman, bassist Reggie Workman, and drummer Pete LaRoca, this advanced session has many touching and hard-swinging moments.
