What do you think of it?

It's your second spin now .

 

Same setup as with Jasmine, how does it compare?

 

 

Cheers

 

Aleg

How does it score on the 'grunt' count? I so wish he could play without groaning along!

He still does it, I didn't count it though ;-)

 

cheers

 

Aleg

I just listened to it again, yes he still hums......and in a way the first one was a more emotional experience for me then this one....., not saying this one is bad.....

I did not listen to the whole disc, just sampled the tracks and found them (relative to the first one) bland and not very inspiring. Perhaps they should have named the album 'Last Chance'..

 

Aleg and Bert,

 

Haden has exceptional duo recordings, way better than that, with Kenny Barron (Night and the City), Pat Metheny (Beyond the Missouri Sky), Chris Anderson (None but the lonely Heart), John Taylor (Nightfall) and Hank Jones (Steal Away).

All are highly recommended.

I all but one have them and would agree with the quality assessment.

Without a doubt, one of my all time favourite albums. And I only knew about it because it was being played on here

Historical interest only. Still not sold on this pairing. EMI did a wonderful job for this '53 recording but it's very dry studio sound.

I have all of those as well, but I want MORE ........ ;-)

I agree with your assessment of Last Dance. The tracks are OK, but not very inspiring or creatively exceptional.

One other double bass player I can recommend and which I listened to regularly lately, is Japanese Kiyoshi Kitagawa often in trio with Kenny Barron and Brian Blade on drums.

Very recommendable. CD's 'Prayer' and 'Ancestry' are easiest to find.

Cheers

Aleg

Thanks, Aleg, I will look him up.

The duo sounds a bit Odd Couple like. Fournier as Oscar, Oistrakh as Felix.

Perlman-Rostropovich-Haitink: Three pros pulling the same weight.

Passionate and pleading story telling that makes me want to listen to what they have to say.

 

Great sounding 80s Angel vinyl.
