Wayne Shorter - The Soothsayer

Today's album is another in a series of hidden gems Blue Note archives. Recorded in 1965, first issued until 15 years later. This is all the more surprising that the music quality does not differ from other Wayne Shorter session from this period. On the other hand, in one year and gave the artist zarejsestował 3 very valuable board - The All Seeing Eye, Juju, and Speak No Evil under his own name. To this must be add Etcetera issued shortly after The Soothsayer. To this must still make the ESP Miles Davis quintet. Maybe all these albums, even for big fans of the artist at that time was too much. The session, however, remained in the archives and was released at a time when Wayne Shorter recorded fewer new material. Do ktrykolwiek musician recorded in the studio so much good music in such a short time? Perhaps, but certainly a breakthrough 1965 and 1966 in the career of Wayne Shorter is one of the league of musical creativity of all time.

about other boards with Wayne Shorter, among others I wrote here:



This album is as good as the above-mentioned sessions of 1964 and 1965. This sophisticated compositions leader. Wayne Shorter has remained a prominent composer today.

Wayne Shorter - 2009

The Soothsayer, it's also a bit wider squad, apart from the the leader of two other wind instruments - alto saxophone and trumpet James Spaulding Freddie Hubbard. The rhythm section is quite unusual, because the percussion supports Tony Williams, who rarely played outside when the Miles Davis quintet, with other musicians. Exceptions do, in principle, only for a session with Wayne Shorter - as the leader board as of today and, for example on CD Graham Moncur III. It is also the only one in the sixties joint session of Tony Williams and McCoy Tyner.

same compositions Already a leader make this disc worth of interest. Perhaps the material landed on the shelf with a rather surprising reason. While Wayne Shorter focuses on the harmonically sophisticated improvisations that show the hidden potential of their composition, the star disc becomes James Spaulding. It is to be the most energetic solos, in which the alto voice seemed to scream - I'm here, too much ... I can certainly feel his voice is stronger than the early albums Sun Ra, where he lost a bit in the crowd other instruments. James Spaulding, he had the company at the most to prove.

Tony Williams also wanted to play a bit more, and gets a chance for a longer solo, in principle, only two versions of the composition Angola. In later editions of today's panels, especially in the editing Rudy Van Gelder Edition is added is longer, no way inferior version of this song, played at a slower pace. Probably time limits have decided to place a shorter and faster version of the first edition of the album, which even then had to fit on one disc LP.

Today's album is, above all, an excellent leader and unexpected compositions, in connection with the accidental nature of the composition of the brass instruments and their co-operation, harmony and mutual understanding in the relevant parts played together for more musicians having a lot of joint appearances, and not those who have met a few times before when other recording sessions. The Soothsayer, is another delicious album that would be a sensation if it appeared in today's time record and was surrounded on shelf yet better recordings of its leader. You may have a slightly better Wayne Shorter from the sixties, but if it likes, is a must.

New Baby Flower Wording

Lee Morgan - Tom Cat

Lee Morgan Clifford Brown is next to my favorite trumpeter. Thus, even those less well known for his disc, like that of today are the subject of my musical interest. Placed on the Tom Cat Material was registered in August 1964. It was a special time for Lee Morgan. I just returned to full strength after several months of interruption caused by drug treatments. It was also the time when he published his hit album - The Sidewinder, which is a little bit by accident, in a totally unexpected by publishers and musicians participating in this session how to become one of the few at the time of real jazz charts. The commercial success of the title composition najśmiejsze surpassed expectations and made it such a "ordinary" sessions, as listed on today's panel landed on a number of years on the shelf label.

Tom Cat waited to release until 1981. It's unbelievable how relatively instantaneous and in relation to the context associated with The Sidewinder publisher treated the Tom Cat. It is certainly not the best material, Lee Morgan, who played in his life. This album suffers from what is the disadvantage of many sessions during this period from the studio Rudy Van Gelder. Bit random composition, poorly prepared material and probably formed at least in part directly in the studio arrangements. So the music does not go beyond the pattern of this period - a topic often played by two or three wind instruments, and then after a few choruses for everyone.

All material, except for a McCoy Tyner composition was prepared by the leader. The compositions are correct, but without some sensational surprises. Quite noted that none of them are unlikely to become a standard, not only your recorded on CD, but even grywanym concerts.

composition Randomness does not mean that the musicians met for the first time in the studio. Lee Morgan and Curtis Fuller (trombone) knew each other with Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers. They played well together for a few good albums Jimmy Smith and his own solo projects. Well, they met with John Coltrane on one of its most important records - Blue Train. Jackie McLean (alto saxophone) has played previously with the leader on its board Leeway, also played concerts with the Jazz Messengers. Playing today's board Bob Cranshaw on bass was a pillar of the said The Sidewinder. McCoy Tyner (piano), was debuted at the Curtis Fuller. Before the session, Tom Cat, met with the leader in the studio recording Night Dreamer Wayne Shorter. Participation in this session drummer Art Blakey is quite unusual, Indeed at the time of its creation did not participate substantially in any sessions outside their team. Here appeared for a call wanting to help you return to the normal musical life of Lee Morgan.

Despite the randomness of the composition, the album shows the leader in top musical form, as if to show that it can do everything. The McCoy Tyner ballad Twilight Mist will find exquisite lyrical trumpet solo. The chords, based on Henry Mancini's theme Pink Panther leader will find the title of the composition caster to battle a whole arsenal of tricks and technical virtuosity. In turn, Twice Around - alteration of the composition being Work Song Lee Morgan, Bobby Timmons is an outstanding stylist hard bopowym showing the essence of style, which was based much of his earlier recordings.

Other musicians do not race against the leader. They play their home, trying to find a place to show your own style. McCoy Tyner plays in this way, an introduction to the Tom Cat and is an important member of the team in his own composition Twilight Mist. Art Blakey is himself, remains in the background, but at any time and forming a recognizable rhythmic sound foundation for the soloists.

This is an important and underrated album by Lee Morgan's achievements. Were it not for The Sidewinder, certainly would appear immediately after recording and gathered good reviews. In 1964, these boards were created, casually, in the interval between the manifold concerts. If it was nagrna today - would have been hailed by critics, the revelation of hard bop, which we now call jazz mainstream already.

Central Washington Tourist Attraction



It turns out that the last poll did not make much sense. It is true that I wore with the intention of releasing the small print of the Polish edition of effort Terminal Space, but now comes out that it would not fair terms of his countrymen - promises to be bigger, most likely stand-alone version TS (not being added), supplemented by a lot of new information - ships, spells, monsters, artifacts and probably character classes (for now predict Two or three more). This version, as it will be created not only by me (for now we are three people, perhaps eventually will be four) will be available free of charge. In this case, giving you a pay-paper version of something incomplete would not be right.

Terminal Space - poll

time for a very simple questionnaire, which can be found in the sidebar. The question is simple: since the release I received recently a proposal for TS in print, whether it kupilibyście paper edition EN Space Terminal? probably would supplement issued in the format A5, extended with some additional material and cost more than two dyszki. What do you something like that? Does it really make sense?

PS. A little lansu : D

Cute Housewarming Invites

Lans!

lansu Time for some - in a little over a month (a total of perhaps a month and a week, just do not know) on the blog Underworld Kingdom I managed to kill more than fifty łoczerów and take fourth place in the ranking of the fastest growing blogs on the subject of retrogaming / RIA / whatever. B & B so far been downloaded 426 times, so too specific (better than I thought) the result. On the occasion of this shameless (and rather pointless)-praise would do well to explain why "I went to the dogs" and I write almost exclusively "out there, not here."

case is pretty simple. Since probably two years trying to piece together into a pile of all the loose ideas I have accumulated over the past twelve years of playing (have not played in the author). As I concluded (mainly due to the fact that we played almost exclusively sandboksy, even knowing that such a term exists) that best for this purpose, however, will engineer the IP & D, thus it became clear that writing in Polish does not make sense - in Poland retrogamingiem deals 2d6 probably five people, including probably all have their own sandboxes, settingi and principles of domestic, So and so will not be interested. The second issue is the fact that in this kind of thing we are automatically labeled as "author", or 99% of people with walking smack them. The second issue that the world people prefer to read more or less loose lyrics than creative content (see the popularity Grognardii - 800 + ideas łoczerów vs. stuffed Algol Planet - just over 120), except that the writing on ingliszu is much greater chance that someone will use my scribble in my game (because after all what this is about - not about writing for writing).

really finished with the writing on the mattress? I'm sorry Levaris and Furiath, but - to paraphrase the Entombeta Wilq - fuck finished there. Just for now I'm fighting to become more aware of their fetuses (land), especially that in the end I decided to release a paid allowance - would do me some money, even just to buy a some books, some good mięcho to eat and some minor pierdołki to gitarki (you know - lamp 100 watts, crate 4x12 and other such trifles;)).
