Freddie Hubbard-Woody Shaw : "Lotus Blossom"

- Double Take is an album by trumpeters Freddie Hubbard and Woody Shaw recorded in November 1985 and released on the Blue Note label. It features performances by Hubbard, Cecil McBee, Carl Allen, Mulgrew Miller and Kenny Garrett. The album was Hubbard's first for Blue Note since recording The Night of the Cookers (1965) twenty years previously. The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states "Hubbard still gets the edge (his range is wider and he cannot be surpassed technically). Although Shaw tended to play more harmonically sophisticated lines and is remarkably inventive, they are both trumpet masters".The album was followed by a second Hubbard/Shaw collaboration The Eternal Triangle in 1987 and the two volumes were combined for the double CD release The Complete Freddie Hubbard and Woody Shaw Sessions (1995).

hmmm isn't this song called "Asiatic Raes" by Kenny Dorham?

[poloppilo]

@primitiveinds Yes is the same ! * Kenny Dorham first recorded "Lotus Blossom" on november13,1957 for Riverside and again two years later to the day for Prestige. He also made a Latin arrangement of it entitled "ASIAN RAES", which was recorded by Sonny Rollins in '58 and by F. Hubbard in '60. _MICHAEL CUSCUNA_* (cd sheet)

Is it just me or did the mic not pick up Shaws solo

[poloppilo]

@trumpetids Perhaps only you, because I hear both channels and both trumpets, but in fact even in the original recording the Shaw's trumpet is a little far away and with so much reverb

Amazing!



[poloppilo]

@LuukOiram Yessss !!! That's true !
