Great band led by a somewhat under-recorded trombonist and one of the first appearances on vinyl by Tony Williams.

Moncur was (well fortunately he's still alive but I don't know what he's doing now) like Wayne Shorter and Andrew Hill also one of the best and most original post-bop composers in the sixties. I like how his music has a very dark atmosphere. Anyway the pieces of him I like the most are those on the albums of Jackie Mclean (like Love and Hate, Frankenstein, Ghost town) and that other gem that is Blue free that could have been the best piece on Eric Dolphy's Out to lunch.

I guess he belongs here: Jon Hassel makes some interesting records - bridging the jazz/ambient genres.  He also has written some film scores.  Good stuff, to these ears.  If you like Miles Davis (especially the more ethereal Miles, e.g. In a Silent Way), you might also enjoy Jon Hassel.

Great album, sanantonio.

One of my most listened to releases of the last few years.

Think I'll play it later tonight!

 Played this one today. One of my all time faves.

[Archaic Torso of Apollo]

Friend of mine, big jazz fan, was clearing out his vinyl. He gave me a pile of LPs for free, mostly ECM. Among the haul were these albums:

Terje Rypdal & others, Waves; Descendre; To Be Continued
Jaco Pastorius, Word of Mouth; Invitation
Bill Frisell, Lookout for Hope
Pat Metheny, Rejoicing; 80/81
Jan Garbarek, Photo with...
Ornette Coleman, Of Human Feelings
Michael Brecker & others, Steps Ahead

I haven't listened to all of them yet, but must say I like the Rypdal stuff quite a lot. The Frisell too.

Those are all great albums.  I've owned all of them and can safely attest to their quality, although stylistically they are pretty varied.  The Pastorius album  features some exdellent big band writing, which may not be what you associate with Jaco, but he wrote all the charts, and most of the music.  I agree the Rypdal is good, if you like that, you'll probably also like the Garbarek.  The Brecker is pretty straight ahead, great playing though. 

Good friend.

[Archaic Torso of Apollo]

Good friend.

Yeah, I lucked out. It helps that I like the basic ECM sound ("cool weather jazz" as it's been described).

[toledobass]

I damn near bought vinyl copies of 80/81 and Bright Size Life last night! Maybe head back tonight, free would be better though!

Per Todd's request:

 

Spanning '61 to '71. Now back to my chocolate frosted cake that is making this even more of a treat.  CA is always solid in my books.

And I joined you without even knowing it, since Miles is backed by  Cannonball and John Coltrane, along with Red Garland, Paul Chambers, and Philly Joe Jones.

And to add to the general goodness,  one of the tracks is a Thelonious (Straight, No Chaser).

I have seen some Mile's fans consider this one their favorite.

The Brecker is pretty straight ahead, great playing though. 

I'm not a great fan of fusion, but Pools is a real classic of the genre. Not just for the solos, but the tune itself composed by Don Grolnick is worth of Wayne Shorter. Sophisticated, original and catchy at the same time. One of the few standards written in the eighties. 

[Bogey]

'Trane absolutely losing his mind ....LOVE IT! My favorite live set that I own of John. Sound has ups and downs and ins and outs, but if you peel away that and get to the performance...

[Artem]

I don't recognize that CD. What label is it on?

Great question, actually.  It is on the Charly label.  This might, and I say, might be it, but more with some differences?:

Every round I go with this album I find a new highlight. Last time it was Morgan's trumpet blowing me away like the dude in the old Memorex Tape ad.



his time around I found myself wanting to climb through the speakers to get as close to the sound of Golson's sax on the opening track, 'Moanin and then Along Came Betty. His sound has an ever slight distortion to it that is a head shaker. I could try to describe some more, but I probably already ruined it with what I posted here.
