It was published online two decades ago in a blogzine called “DooBop” which was later absorbed by AAJ and was in their website for a while but I believe no longer. I did paste it recently into a post on the Hoffman board which possibly can be accessed via this link.
Michael shared a handful of facts that were not out there in the world before–and Michael Cook used some in his book about Blue Note. Made me proud to have scooped some Blue Note history.
Will read it later today, respect, you’re da man!
To date I’ve never pursued the Carmen McRae catalog, time to rethink it. Several have been add to my Tidal cue.
Were you able to find the Brubeck collaboration @Serhan posted? I can’t find it on either Tidal or Qobuz.
No, I was referring to the Brubeck Quartet/Carmen McRae “Tonight Only.”
Absolutely amazing. Got it from Destination Out.
Grrrgh…
I’ll check into it, maybe they have a misplaced copy. I recall these being available from Cadence in NY when initially released. They were on my want list, but never did buy them.
I assume you purchased the FLAC from Destination Out, not a CD copy.
This one is great! I have the LP and hires files.
The LP sounds great In most parts, but unfortunately is a mispressing in others throughout the batch.
I ordered the Vinylmeplease Hancock LP box set mainly to get a Grundman remastered version of this one.
He is an amazing legit performer.
Do you enjoy the album and what he does with the music? He is a superb classical player.
Yes, I have the flac. Original Cd will cost a mint if you can find one at all.
I love how he stretches the notes out. Lots of emotion. This is a favorite of mine.
A really great interview with a lot of unusual, new information…great work! Not easy to ask meaningful questions.
