But, then again, you do say that "it's hard to tell if they were playing the changes or not"...and based on how clearly both the bassist and the saxophonist are outlining the changes -- Lehman's pitch choice is pretty tame here and, again, bass playing roots -- it sort of leads one to wonder what kind of playing *would* make it clear for you that they were playing the changes...hard to say, but you make it sound like you're much more familiar with the melody than the chord changes. Sound fair?Tom Rubinsteinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27529233.post-87684589471650637902012-06-21T09:24:57.905-04:002012-06-21T09:24:57.905-04:00Is there any other version other than the one on B...Is there any other version other than the one on Blue Train? I'm being a bit rhetorical in saying that. I'm pretty sure I've heard someone else cover it recently but it escapes me. <br />I feel like I wouldn't have been able say what I said if I didn't know the original. "Definitive" and all that.<br />Maybe I was just going on the contrast with the original. When I didn't hear the opening eight-note phrase delivered like Trane, I was listening to differences.<br />Regardless, I didn't pick up on it, which I suppose is really a credit to Lehman.shanleymusichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09648245457919063666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27529233.post-75961288882683635222012-06-20T22:47:38.788-04:002012-06-20T22:47:38.788-04:00Makes sense.

They're definitely playing in a weird meter like 9 I think...but I'm sort of blown away that they can keep that together and play the changes like that as a duo. I suppose for people familiar with the tune, there's definitely no doubt it's Moment's Notice after the first measure...have you heard the original on Blue Train?Tom Rubinsteinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27529233.post-79650551729377740172012-06-20T20:54:37.393-04:002012-06-20T20:54:37.393-04:00Tom, thanks for the feedback.

[See profile, or whatever it's called.] I listened to it a lot and didn't exactly pick up on it. And I listened several times before writing. Maybe I'm conditioned to not hear the root notes of the song.<br />I should probably put that disc on again and see what I think of it.shanleymusichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09648245457919063666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27529233.post-44160176383360484882012-06-20T15:03:30.751-04:002012-06-20T15:03:30.751-04:00Thanks for the review.

Not sure I get this comment on "Moment's Notice": <br /><br />[A]nd even then it's hard to say if they Brewer had been following the changes of the song or not.<br /><br />I'm guessing you're not a musician -- I'm a guitar player. But the bass is basically only playing the roots of Moment's Notice chord changes the whole time. I think it's pretty clear :)Tom Rubinsteinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27529233.post-6770716660703764672012-04-29T16:02:30.076-04:002012-04-29T16:02:30.076-04:00Thanks.

Don't know the other Lehman disc but I'm thinking about ordering the others that are on Pi.shanleymusichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09648245457919063666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27529233.post-5799489948401206152012-04-29T12:33:59.912-04:002012-04-29T12:33:59.912-04:00Nice review.
