Strung Out is an impressive Third Stream outing for the Joe Haydn Quartet on the Blue Note label, which redefines jazz dynamics. Joe's tight charts leave no room for improvisation, the stripped-down ensemble running through two side-long suites.
Side One is entitled Fifths, and celebrates, Joe says, "gettin' high on spirits, man!" while the flip, Lobkowitz's Delicatessen, offers tempting delicacies from Joe's local eatery. "The band chows down at Manny's after gigs, and this is our way of sayin' thanks."
Whatever his tastes, the jazz fan will find this a feast for the ears. but only if they're open to new ideas. Like, digsville!
Here ya go, hep cats!

ReplyDeletenice classic!
Those particular quartets are known as the "Fifths", and as that is a (now obsolete) unit for measuring spirits - not beer - it seemed appropriate. The other quartets are the "Lobkovitz" quartets, probably not named after a deli.
DeleteClearly, not one of Rudy Van Gelder's better efforts. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI beg to differ. The soundstage is expansive and detailed, with crisp highs and buttery lows giving the mids the space they need to breathe and WHAT AM I FUCKING SAYING!!!????
DeleteNext thing you know, you'll be posting recordings in flac.

ReplyDeletePapa was the O.G. of humor in music.
Well done, Farquhar!
Man, was I born in a barn or a deli or???
