I am tediously crafting a #BitwigStudio port of my old #Reason Drum Kits so I can have a particular 'sound'. The exercise is valid in that it is pushing me to concentrate on the mappings of samples, reading the NN-XT sampler settings in Reason and converting these to meaningful information for Bitwig.

There are 9.8k sample files. There are recordings for Room, Close, under the Snare, and Overhead.

I'm building a nifty spreadsheet on #kDrive as a first exercise of working outside of #Google.

And I am listening to #BernardPurdie and #ElvinJones while teasing out the various details.

I am very eager to start programming and making some sounds. #ElectronicMusicProduction

Thanks to the Internet I now know more about #ElvinJones and a whole new universe has revealed itself for discovery.

Amusingly, after playing A Love Supreme (which had only been recorded with Rudy Van Gelder seven months before), the promoters requested that they play "more familiar material" the following nights.

If only they knew.

A bit more space here to say that Charly was able to reconstruct the full A Love Supreme, which takes up 3 sides of the 4LP set.

John Coltrane Quartet - France 1965: The Complete Concerts

This is going to be a Coltrane-heavy year, given his centenary, and RSD26 has a few releases to mark the occasion.

This 4LP set documents the two concerts the Quartet did in France during their week-lone stint in Europe.

This is well known for being the quartet's *only* live, full recording of A Love Supreme (reconstructed by Charly).

OK, how about some more of the John Coltrane Quartet, augmented with a brass section arranged by Eric Dolphy and McCoy Tyner, representing wildlife? Dense, layered, modal, gorgeous. Listen to "Africa" (1961):

#JohnColtrane (tenor)
#McCoyTyner (piano)
#ReggieWorkman (bass)
#ElvinJones (drumming)

and more!, if you check Wikipedia.

So what would happen if you put Wayne Shorter in front of John Coltrane's rhythm section? Blue Note records asked this question! Listen to "Twelve More Bars to Go," from "Juju" (1965):

Listen to "Dear Lord" (1965) by the John Coltrane Quartet. I first heard this on the LP "Transition." It forms the most gentle interlude between two hugely powerful compositions. I hope you can feel the restrained power and energy of this band.

Stan Getz & Bill Evans, Previously Unreleased Recordings, 1974 on Verve

Sometimes just referred to as Stan Getz & Bill Evans, this was recorded in 1964 but not released until 1974. Ron Carter (A side) and Richard Davis (B side) on bass, with Elvin Jones on drums. Recorded at Rudy Van Gelder’s studio in Englewood Cliffs NJ and produced by Creed Taylor.

There’s a whole series of “Previously Unreleased Recordings” advertised on the rear jacket. Beautiful sounding LP well packaged.

My copy—via Worcester Record Riot—is of the 2024 UMG/UMe reissue, overseen by Chad Kassem from Acoustic Sounds.
