Art Farmer Quintet “The Time And The Place (The Lost Concert)” Mosaic cd
Bass – Walter Booker
Drums – Mickey Roker
Flugelhorn – Art Farmer
Piano – Albert Dailey
Tenor Saxophone – Jimmy Heath
From Mosaic:
"In 1967, Columbia issued The Time And The Place by the Art Farmer quintet, billing it as a concert from the Museum Of Modern Art. In fact, it was a studio recording with fake applause dubbed in. The real concert sat in the vaults until three tunes came out on a 1982 double LP reissue. Even then, no one seemed to discover the ruse. When Mosaic began researching Farmer’s Columbia tapes, it became obvious that those three tracks were live and the original album was manipulated.
The actual concert took place on August 18, 1966 was recorded and, except for three tunes, has sat in the vaults ever since. Mosaic has uncovered the original three-track masters of the unedited performance, which contains seven superb extended performances and remixed them in 24-bit."
Check out Slam Stewart–he was an original hummer/singer while bass playing, and he was one helluva player.
Not a classical album!
Boyd Raeburn And His Orchestra “Boyd Meets Stravinski” Savoy/Denon cd
From AllMusic:
“This superb album is comprised of tracks recorded by the band at its creative peak in the mid-'40s. The arrangements and original compositions by pianist George Handy acknowledge developments in 20th-century classical music up to that time, melding poly-tonality, shifting meters, and irregular rhythms with bebop and contemporary big band techniques. The musicianship is absolutely top-notch. In terms of ensemble execution, the Raeburn band was nearly unsurpassed, and the solos – while often talking a backseat to the compositions themselves – are frequently excellent. Of particular note is the work of the Johnny Hodges-inspired alto saxophonist Bothwell. Handy’s fanciful arrangements occasionally go off the deep end, but the extent of his creativity was considerable, and the balance of artistry and kitsch usually weighs in favor of the former.”
