I engineered this recording and it's great to hear it again. This is actually the second take. In the break between the second last song and the last song, the bass player unplugged his bass without telling me and we got a huge pop. Ugh. But this take was killer too.
My uncle played with Hank at Towson. He played bass on the original "whiplash" recording.
Probe XPD and Green Dolphin St (from later album) are two of my favorite jazz pieces. As a UMD student I had access to Towson's library, which had a copy. Checked it out and recorded from vinyl to Reel. Later converted to tape (to play in my car) and eventually MP3. Even had a chance to play these two songs in HS jazz band, really helped push me since i had two massive solos (transcribed from these recordings). Thanks for sharing these hidden gems.
Great tune and album. It was recorded live to Disc at Sheffield Recording Studios .
Fun note, Hank attended our last of the year jazz band concert in 1979. A few weeks later he sent over the score for Probe. Only got top Kay it once in practice since I was graduating.
This brings me waaaaaaaay Back. We played this in high school in the 80s
Oh. My. Goodness.
1986-87 at Baltimore School For the Arts, Drew Gress (who was the BSA's jazz band director) had us playing this my 9th grade year (He's the bass player on this song). I didn't have the harmonic palette at that time to appreciate everything about this song, but some of music is still burned into my fingers and brain (I played baritone sax on this)......30+ years later.
And a few bits from this have found their way into my own solos on other songs over the years. Even more importantly, elements of this song have found their way into my teaching students over the years.
Quite a sax section :-O
Man, this is sick. The production value is off the charts. it sounds great even through TH-cam. Thanks for sharing!
Is there anyplace I can find this in Lossless quality? Buying the vinyl would be pointless for me as I have a digital-based playback system but I would love to hear this in a high-resolution format. Heck, I'd even be down to hear a vinyl rip.
Hank Levy does the 70s
