The Joe Farrell Quartet - Someday

My first attempt at ripping this record was filled with a wicked hiss that eventually lead to a second attempt using a cleaning tool that damaged the rip sonically. This time it hasn't been touched and it played clean...better late than never.

I had never seen nor heard of this excellent Joe Farrell date until the day I bought it.This record is of impressive quality, heavy cover and vinyl like an expensive Japanese pressing and when I first played it the music positively leaped out of the speakers at me! I hope I've done a good enough job on the transfer that you get a similar experience.

Joe and George had played together a lot both on record and in clubs by the time this was made and it really shows in the relaxed feel of this session which plays like a club date with tracks where Joe lays out and the trio plays punctuating the set. You almost want to look over your shoulder to see if Joe is at the bar during the trio portions. Farrell was all about no nonsense hard bop by this time in his career, the experiments with funk receding in the rear view mirror.
