The Cedar Walton Trio w/ Clifford Jordon - A Night at Boomer's, Vol 2 Muse 5022, Vinyl LP

Per a request from one of our old friends.

The Cedar Walton Trio w/ Clifford Jordon - A Night at Boomer's, Vol 2
Muse 5022, Vinyl LP

1) Naima
2) Stella by Starlight
3) All The Way
4) I'll Remember April
5) Blue Monk
6) Bleeker Street Theme


Cedar Walton - piano, Sam Jones - bass, Louis Hayes - drums, special guest Clifford Jordan - tenor sax

When I went to rip this, I found that this very long album had been mixed in a way that each side was a contiguous whole; it was possible to split the tracks using fade ins and outs but I just couldn't see the point, this is how the album was meant to be heard so I leave to each of you if you want to take on that task.

Where volume One featured originals that had the feel of standards, volume Two features standards given fresh life through interpretation by four masters of the art. This is wonderfully beautiful music and the warmth and charm of the night club manages to be communicated without interfering with the music.

    I was fortunate to see Cedar Walton play a number of times (most recently with a Blakey alumni band).

  6. Thank you for this -- I was just reading a great interview with Cedar at dothemath and I've been wanting to revisit a lot of these Cedar albums that I no longer have. Any chance you have Vol. 1 on deck?

  14. I explained that in the post which you obviously didn't read - the album plays as a contiguous whole and you would need to introduce artificial fade ins and outs to get individual tracks - I chose not to do that, but it is simple enough if you feel the need.
