Funny this thread popped up. I was just listening to this in the car today. Well, it was a cassette, so I don't know how many eyes it had. Sounds great though.
You been in jail or something? first jazz album at 46? you best be catching up. It's practically un-American not to like Jazz, and I'm pretty sure it's a requirement of the Patriot Act to listen to at least one jazz album by the age of 18
Man, this thread's old! My "Time Out" collection. The CD in the paper sleeve is a copy of the 45 edit of "Take Five".
Nope, just finally discovering jazz as I mature. I've already branched out into a bit of opera and classical, so here's one more area I'm discovering. Most of my life I've enjoyed pop and rock music, but maturing does have advantages. Next up on my list is Jimmy Smith, Miles Davis, Lionel Hampton, Joey DeFrancesca, and a whole lot more.

"..and a whole lot more." It only gets worse. Trust me on this. The Jimmy Smith alone will have searching high and low for everyhing you can get your paws on. If you don't own The Sermon already, I think it's a great place to start.:thmbsp:
All taste aside, the best place to start for Jimmy Smith is undoubtedly the Live At The Club Baby Grand sides. These albums show the amazing spectacle that Smith was when he first entered the scene - complete shock and awe. Frankly, the music and techniques still stand to this day and they remain incredibly relevant.
The Sermon is a good album, but basically a blowing session. If you go deep enough into Smith's discography, it eventually becomes a necessity. Personally I love the albums he cut with Bailey, Turrentine and Burrell - or without Turrentine.
Yes, Morello's drums on the mono 45 edit kick you right in the gut! Huge sound!I accidently put on one of my two six-eye mono copies (I'm bragging) last night, thinking it was my stereo copy.
If you like Morello's drumming, WOW! Right smack in the center during "Take Five." -Ken
Never got the 45 rpm album version. I'm pretty happy with what I've got.Did you ever get the 45rpm version Dan? I have the 180g reissue from probably 5 or 6 years ago, and it's a pretty good version. But I'll bet the 45rpm one is amazing.
Nah, the Patriot Act requires we only listen to Southern Gospel (none of this namby-pamby middle of the road Protestant hymns) and certain country artists. Introspective, thought provoking music are certainly not allowed...you might develop a thought!
Jimmu Smith fans should check out "Jimmy & Wes: The Dynamic Duo". Great album. Came out in 1965. I have the old MGM CD, plus the 200g Speakers Corner LP that Kevin Gray did (He mastered all the Verve titles for SC), but I WANT that original Verve LP. One of these days, I'll have to break down and buy one off Eek!BAY

Why are you so angry?

I thought it interesting that a site that does not allow members to offer their unwanted records or audio equipment for sale here, but would tacitly condone the illegal copying of library CDs; I couldn't believe someone would actually state they made illegal copies so openly. What happened to ethics and morals? :nono:
