i got this back in jan 2011 when ‘kinebee’ seeded it on dime. woody shaw really is great. i have to give another listen to the other shows headlining louis hayes too. i loved this… and then find ichi-ban listed on the hard bop page on tripod. no surprise there!
this was recorded just a month before the same quintet (plus guilherme franco) recorded ichi-ban, with much the same songs (only much longer live than on lp, as you’d expect). i’d like to get a copy, but a quick search only turned it up on diskunion jazz in japan. gosh, they’re only “right next door”, maybe i’ll give it a try. i’m still waiting for some cds from cdjapan… took them 10 days to ship. i can read the cdjapan website without google translate, but i’m thinking to myself that diskunion might be faster.
i was in a couple of diskunion stores in tokyo last month, including the one specializing in jazz. it was great! pressed for time at each, which isn’t the best way to buy anything, and only travelling with carry-on for a 5 day trip, so space was also a serious consideration. but i was very happy with 8 of the 9 cds that i bought.
i’m trying to find where to buy jazz cds here in seoul… it’s a search that’s fighting with a lot of similar priorities. so any tips appreciated. i suspect won’t be anything like japan, where every shop or restaurant that i went into seemed to be playing jazz, often very nice jazz at that, which was a real surprise. here it’s more like k-pop is the soundtrack to the city.
