    Ervin is one of those players (like Joe Henderson) that is comfortable inside or outside, and he moves between the two within the scope of a song or even a phrase. I'm drawn to that style and find it exciting. The band of Ervin, Dawson, Byard, and Davis is one of the best (I've seen them compared to the Miles second great quintet), with interplay that can verge on the telepathic. I think the Freedom and Space books are their only recordings as a unit and, as I understand, it was strictly a studio band.

    What is the sound/recording quality on this? And who recorded it? Was the band inspired?
    Thanks in advance.:cool:

    I defer to the jury here, what is your opinion of this album?
    I have never heard it.

    I like his other jazz inspired albums (see, for example, the Yesterday's New Quintet album I posted on Saturday). I don't remember if I have this particular one or not.

    I looked up the tracklist and all the names are familiar so I do believe I have this one. I started streaming it now since I'm in the office, it's good if you like that sort of thing (my coworkers are certainly enjoying it :laugh:, just kidding, I'm on headphones). Although, I might prefer his YNQ and other hip-hop material over this.

    It's been a sort of busy weekend with in-laws visiting and I haven't been able to check out any more of the new records I got last week, needless to say I've been itching to do so; thus, despite being a little bushed, I had to put on:

    Oh my, yes it has been a while, hope you've been well! Nice to "see" you again. BTW, your profile image of Miles, who did that painting? Bruni?

    I was streaming Jacknife via Apple Music while at work today. So you have the 2xLP version that has both sessions on it? The one I was listening to only had the quintet session.

    Screenshot from this weekend's Lawrence Welk Show. Paul Humphrey may be the only great jazz drummer who played for both Welk & Zappa.

    Apple is probably using the digital version of the US Blue Note cd that has that cover.

    Many years ago I went to a well known drum shop in San Francisco to check out cymbals. I didn't find anything I had to have but I noticed that Tony Williams taught there. Holy cow, I wanted to sign up but I'm sure the waiting list was rediculous and driving two hours one way, and that would be away from commute time, I knew it wouldn't work out. Just to get two or three lessons with the man would have been amazing imo.

    Looks like it would be. I went through a big Monk and Charlie Parker phase that lasted probably from '02-'09 and I bought two lithographs of Bruni paintings (one each of Bird and Monk, of course) probably in '03 or '04.

    I'm not & never could be a drummer or any type of musician, but in the early 80s I lived in a house with guys who had formed a band & practiced in the back room. Occasionally I would be the only one home & I would sit at the drums & pretend to be Tony Williams, with a little Elvin mixed in. You should have heard my cymbal work! Since I was improvising to music in my head, it probably was a little like a much less talented 10-year-old Denardo Coleman.

    I know some here may not haunt the other big jazz thread, so I thought I'd cross post this picture here:

    I took jazz lessons from a drummer who was tge house drummer in San Francisco in the 50s/early 60/ names Forrest Elidge. He wasn't Tony but he knew a lot and showed me how to play everything I asked for and he told great stories of the old days. It was almost worth it for the history. I'm no Tony either as guitar is my first instrument but drums are fun to play.
