Yep, I had my "sixth form" LP copy for years on UK London American, from Atlantic? Mine became scratched to hell over time but still playable. Just. I've now got the Jazz Classics remaster which has a bonus three TV show Monk tracks by the band, but Sam Dockery back in on piano. From 1957. I've also got a tape of Nesuhi Ertegün who produced it describing the all night session... extremely worried about his mikes getting knocked over by Monk and Nica's in-take dancing around the studio!

Nearing the end of this video, I find it very heartening to hear Rosenwinkel mention how useful it was learning the Bach lute suites - particularly the finger mechanics involved... so it wasn't a complete waste of time! He even used the same edition as me.Originally posted by Joseph K View Post

John Coltrane, Impressions from Newport '63 - again. Yes, I've previously mentioned this, but it is a very special performance indeed, quite breath-taking, and although it might have something to do with Roy Haynes on drums, I really think Coltrane is on fire, his tone is something else, as is always with Coltrane at this stage in his life, but especially more so here, he sounds possessed and especially focussed with a powerful, imperious tone, an outer-space sensibility, he is absolutely flying and it takes this listener with him. He really is something else...Comment

"We kiss in a shadow", the "ballad" from that album is wonderful and one I've always thought about requesting on JRR.Comment

Me too, BN. It's a great track from an overlooked album which deserves an airing on JRR.Originally posted by BLUESNIK'S REVOX View Post
So, go ahead and request it.

I've got a Coltrane/Kenny Burrell duo track hopefully pending...this week? And I need to do an Ellington JRR for a close friend's September birthday, but is she's "bendable" to Newk, Jim and Elvin, I will do so!Originally posted by Jazzrook View PostComment

Not having heard this album before, it's interesting hearing Rollins as the "odd man out" and Freddie H taking almost the Coltrane role. Maybe my aural receptivities aren't functioning right following a near-sleepless night. It wasn't the first time Sonny had played with Elvin of course - that association may even have predated the Coltrane one? The opening theme almost has a Shepp/NYC5 character to it. Was the entire LP only 20+ minutes long?Originally posted by Jazzrook View PostSonny Rollins' 1966 album 'East Broadway Rundown'(Impulse!) with Freddie Hubbard, Jimmy Garrison & Elvin Jones:

Apart from the 20-minute 'East Broadway Rundown' there are two other tracks: Rollins 'Blessing In Disguise'(12:21) & 'We Kiss In A Shadow'(5:36) from 'The King and I'.Originally posted by Serial_Apologist View Post
I only recently acquired a newish copy(for around £3!) and hear more every time I play it.

No, East broadway Rundown (20.26), Blessing in disguise (12.23) We kiss in a shadow (5.37). It's never got great reviews, Rollins & the Trane crew never *quite* gelling, he a more legato player? "No kind of dream match for the leader" (Cook/Morton). But I've grown to like it much more down the years, especially THAT ballad. Btw, someone has posted just that track on YouTube with a clip of Claudia Cardinale, from "Girl with a Suitcase". That's a plus in itself!Comment
