Miles Davis - What I Say - fifth disk of the Cellar Door sessions

[elmo]

Just bought this album of previously unissued Harold Land recorded at the Penthouse in Seattle in 1962/4/5. This track has Carmell Jones, Buddy Montgomery, Monk Montgomery and Joe Farnsworth. Some of the other tracks are graced with Hampton Hawes and Philly Joe Jones - very good all round including the obscure pianist John Houston.

This is the album that I had read the positive reviews about. I really like Harold Land's playing. Another album of his that I have is the "Live at Unkel Po's" which includes a line up of Bobby Hutcherson, Curtis Fuller and Cedar Walton. The first half of the opening track is compromised by the balance not being quite correct but the whole disc picks up mid-way through following an exceptional solo by Cedar Walton. It think the recording comes from about 1979 and is otherwise pretty decent but it underscored the high standard these musicians were working at on what was probably just a work-a-day gig for them. Walton, a musician who used to come in for a bit of stick on the old chatroom, is something of a revelation on this record which is described as being by "The Timeless all-stars." (Timeless being a record label from the 70's that was amongst those that served as guardians against the onslaught of fusion and jazz-rock which was prevalent at the time.

I love this so much, and it's been a while since I last listened to it!

The "Timeless all stars" had a great line up I saw them at the St Davids hall in Cardiff back in the 80's. Unfortunately it was not one of their best nights not helped by a poor sound engineer, I could hardly hear Harold Land and Bobby Hutcherson but Billy Higgins was well miked and sounded great.

I would have loved to have heard the Hutcherson/Land quintet with Stanley Cowell and Joe Chambers, don' t remember them playing in this country
