soundfan Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 In Between The Tumbling A Stillness Assif Tsahar/William Parker/Hamid Drake Hopscotch Records I had to order this record from Sax player Assif Tsahar himself because the Hopscotch Records site is a shambles. Hadn't heard it, but it garnered a 5 star review on the freejazzblog site. And Parker and Drake are involved so an easy decision to purchase. A superb release from 2018. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t_mike Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Two greats of their era! These guys, along with Joe Pass, were brilliant exponents of this style of jazz guitar. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t_mike Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 My listening tonight has been guitarcentric, and here I continue on that theme. This Japanese pressing has brought about a thought, whenever I purchase a number of records from the one collection, the Jap pressings always are the ones in best condition. Is it because they are better cared for, or is it the material they are made from? The black of the vinyl always seems blacker (as does the audio background), and the surface is less tarnished. Some gentle reinterpretations of well known and popular songs on this, with touches of virtuosity. Wes is joined here by Ray Barretto on congas, Ron Carter on bass, Grady Tate on skins, George Devens on vibes, and a cast of many on violin and cello. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t_mike Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Has anyone heard any other output from either of these guys? I'm impressed with some of the playing, especially Alex Saunders on bass, but this is my first exposure to them, singularly or together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Citroen Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Have a listen on Spotify (or Tidal) or Bandcamp https://mansurbrown.bandcamp.com/album/shiroi-2 Generally I'm not really a great fan of jazz guitar. But the skill in Mansur's playing and the soulful nature of the tracks, lends itself to a great laid back vibe, with simple drums, and bass. Sound and pressing wise, its fine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
