    Lon, just wanted to say that I have enjoyed several years of listening to Frankie Dunlop in the Thelonious Monk Quartet because of your recommendation. Previously, I had just grouped Monk records by the record label, Blue Note, Prestige, Riverside, Columbia, Black Lion ...But, because of some of your posts, I listened by drummer and it's really deepened and added nuance to my appreciation of Monk. So, thanks

    It didn't sound critical. Thanks.

    Charles, glad that I may have inspired that way of listening. What an amazing drummer Frankie was. He could DRIVE a huge blasting band like Maynard Ferguson's, and he could play the most melodic and dancing drums with Monk. I'd be happy to have a quarter of his talent.

    Postimage.org is by far the most simple process. Download it for free *
    Then select a image or photo * hit upload so it shows up * then hit the link called direct link.
    Now you have the photo ready for inserting. In your post hit the icon above with the mountain in a box. * paste the photo * final step is to hit insert
    Voila c’est tres magnifique!
    ( if I can do this anybody can. I’m a Luddite - lower grade remedial level)

    If blue note offered a high quality print of this one I’d bite. My favorite blue note cover. I can play spot the beautiful leg all day long...

    I’d pick that up for the cover alone. Such a time capsule of the era.

    Do you like the sound of the CDs. Others have been pretty positive

    You simply need the monaural version of this album rather than the stereo. I learned that the hard way.

    It's really a good recording. Others have mentioned "hard-panning." My speakers include both front-firing and upward firing omnidirectional drivers and I tend to get a strong center fill and this doesn't draw attention to itself in my system, a very good stereo image, very well captured live date.

    I always hated the term "acoustic piano". Just a few minutes ago I was looking at an 80s fusion album and saw the term "acoustic drums". Yuck! (Here's another one: "Hank Williams Sr." WTF?!?!)

    Ben Riley, the other drummer who appears on Monk's Columbia recordings, was also very good.

    Since the conversation has come up about drummers and Bruford's name is mentioned tangentially, I don't think of Bruford as being a jazz drummer and little if any of the music he's made is jazz to me, despite his use of jazz instrumentation in Earthworks and even playing with jazz musicians in other projects. That's not meant as any kind of value judgment on the quality of the music he's done, some of which I love. However I do cringe a little in threads where people propose "rock drummers who can play jazz" and Bruford's name comes up. But like Lonson said earlier, that's my particular personal quirk and any and all are welcome to disagree.

    Yes he was. . . and his style influenced the "feel" of the whole quartet.

    I've had this 1977 LP for many years & it's always a pleasure. Lee's playing on 'My Old Flame' approaches perfection, something I don't normally expect from a player who seems more notable for searching than for polish.

    The Amazing Adventures of Simon Simon/John Surman with Jack DeJohnette. Recorded 1/81, Talent Studio, Oslo. Producer: Manfred Eicher. Engineer: Jan Erik Kongshaug. Not bad, but $1.95 might have been a little high for this one.

    Good to know, I'll seek it out. The lack of bass is my complaint against the otherwise lovely Analog Spark LP.
