Wow, this was a really interesting review, have you ever thought about focusing on records that don't fit neatly in the jazz world?

the most influential flattop acoustic guitarist of the last century... great review. thank you.

I also picked this one up. Had to go to several different stores before I finally found it. Sounds absolutely incredible!

Incredible album, and most definitely a collection of jazz compositions. This album, amongst others around this time period (late 70s, early 80s) were jazz by any definition of the word. He still released bluegrass every couple years but he was heavy into composing jazz at this time. And in my opinion, this is some of the greatest "acoustic" jazz ever recorded. For some of Tony's deep cut jazz from this time period, check out his work on albums of his band mates - Todd Phillips, Mike Marshall, Richard Greene, Darol Angor. They too released incredible jazz albums and had Tony play the guitar parts.

Amazing album!

Another nice job, Chris! Have you heard The Pizza Tapes, that Rice made with Jerry Garcia and David Grisman? Really good music and some funny banter.

Great review Chris. I will definitely pick this up from Acoustic Sounds. Love that interplay with Coltrane in the opener.😊

Have a Japanese reissue from the 70's. Love it

Another nice job, Chris! Fun fact: Coltrane released My Favorite Things in 1961. The Julie Andrews movie was released four years later, in 1965. The Broadway musical, The Sound of Music, was from 1959.

Great band! I saw them when they were young 'uns back in the '90s, and then again when this album was released. Unfortunately, Mehldau was sick and couldn't make it, but they got Gerald Cleaver to pinch-hit, and he was great. Keep going, Chris...these are fun and informative!

I only recently started getting into jazz, so when I streamed OTL a few months ago I really wasn’t ready for it. I know it’s just a matter of time as my palate develops. Right now discovering Mingus and some early electric jazz. Fantastic stuff!

I recently got into Maiden Voyage so I reckon this will be the next Herbie album I pick up

One of the many great musical memories I have is seeing the VSOP Quintet in 1977, playing Maiden Voyage (which was already one of my favorite songs).

Thanks for making this. Kind of Blue was the first jazz record in my collection. I’m not a musician so I wasn’t sure what was meant by modal harmony. This was a great explanation.

Very informative Chris. Just picked up the Rhino stereo rerelease and it sounds great. The harmonies in “Spiral” remind me a lot of “Crisis” from Art Blakey’s Mosaic album, which came out about a year later. Do you agree?

Henderson’s Page One is on Scott Yanow’s list of 17 essential hard bop recordings (as is Moanin’ which you featured previously). Deservedly so.

Like the video 👍🏻

Thanks I like this disc very much

Interesting video

Great video. I think this album’s legendary impact is partly down to an unfortunate but useful problem with Paul Gonsalves microphone during his epic solo. Although it means the solo clarity is limited on the mono you are much more aware of the audience going increasingly crazy in waves of excitement . In contrast the reconstructed Phil Schaap version for CD which incorporated the VOA microphone content gives a much clearer solo but I feel at the expense of the atmosphere of the gig responsible for Ellington’s rebirth. So the CD Newport is fun and complete but without the original version listeners may wonder what all the fuss is about!

if the remastered LPs sound great, does that mean the CDs are even better?

Great video! I recently picked up the BlueNote Classic Vinyl reissue at my local B&M and it sounds fantastic!

Great video, and Congrats on launching the channel. @RickBeato described this album as the best recording he’s ever heard. Stunning, sonic perfection.

Thank you Christopher for the terminology lesson. Please keep ‘em coming! I’m new to jazz and for reasons I can’t explain, I can’t stop listening to bop. Perhaps your channel will help me understand why.

Ok, I’m subscribing to this. Really good initiative

Jo Jones had played with Basie, not Duke. Gonzalves played his noted solo into the wrong mic, that's why they had to re=record.

Great commentary on of one of the great Jazz recordings.

I normally dont care about an LP's pressing but that japan sleeve is rad! Anyways thanks for the video, look forward to watching more!

Blakely was from Pittsburgh.

Super informative! I enjoyed hearing your thoughts and intentions, it's refreshing to think about music in these ways.

Nice job, Chris!
