In Reply to: RE: Why Only Those Two? Here's My List posted by suretyguy on October 30, 2011 at 13:49:06
One of the things I like about these posts is that they will often prompt me to go to the shelves and pull out stuff I may not have listened to in a long time.So - last night I listened to both "Surging Ahead" and "Extension" on Pacific Jazz. I hope you have the latter - it's excellent with some rather unusual arranging and instrumentation.
As for Horace Silver - "Song for My Father" is a perennial favorite.
It is my good fortune to own most of the stuff you list and I agree with your overall assessment.
Do you have the DVD of the "Sound of Jazz" from the TV show? Fogy that I am I remember sitting in front of the TV with my parents and watching it live.

I do have the Sound of Music DVD and also clearly recall watching the broadcast-at age 15-although not with my parents, who never could understand my fascination with jazz. I must say, however, that I was a bit disappointed with the show, since my interest then was almost exclusively bop musicians. Little did I know that years later the recording would become one of my all time favorites.
I don't know how I missed the Clare Fischer Extension you mentioned, since I own quite a few of his recordings, but I will soon rectify that after listening to a sampling on Amazon. Thanks for the tip.
I can always dub you a CDR. There appears to be only one on Amazon and one on Ebay and neither have any sample tracks.

You can sample on Amazon by going to the MP3 download. I really appreciate the CDR offer, but I'm looking for an LP. There are currently several on eBay, but in mono. I'd prefer the stereo version if there is one.
Guess you and I are the same age. I, though, was not yet into Bop. I loved Jimmy Rushing, Billie Holiday etc., and that "Nervous" thing by Mal Waldron, Jimmy Giuffre "Train And The River" and on and on. Still love that record.

The Sound of Music?1?1? Wow, what a slip. I intended to refer, of course, to The Sound of Jazz.
