George Benson - Live At Montreux

[Green Destiny]

I wasn't going to post again but then I received the Weather Report box-set I ordered a couple of weeks ago this afternoon.
Australia Post don't usually deliver on the weekend but apparently they are doing so this month till Christmas so it was a nice surprise!.
Now playing:



I read elsewhere on the net that the early WP albums were quite different to the ones made after Pastorius joined the group.
I finished the first side of the concert already and I agree it sounds a bit different to the later WP stuff but I think I really like it.
Just giving Disc 1 another spin now

Edit: I bought this box last year and only gave it a cursory listen - I was really impressed by the Shakti album this morning. I love Mahavishnu orchestra and this is a little bit different but I really liked it. Wonderful!.

It's pretty good actually. Not without some dragging spots (even Peter Erskine who wrote the liners says so), but it's great to have some real live material by this band, as it's quite different from their studio output (which I enjoy less compared to earlier incarnations of WR). Anyway, if you're into WR or jazz-rock or Zawinul in general, it's definitely worth getting!

Thanks for your reply. Your favourable opinion of the box adds to what I read about it elsewhere.
Its not a particularly expensive set from the Amazon MP so I will definitely be getting this one in future I think!

the latest delivery from Lithuania's great NoBusiness records, had to dig up the turntable first (it's usually covered with recently acquired CDs ...)

Allen Lowe - In the Diaspora of the Diaspora: We Will Gather When We Gather

[Green Destiny]

Now Playing:



Probably not a very "Jazzy" album either in fact maybe I shouldn't really post it here?
I just listened to this one yesterday for the first time - it blew me away!.
Going to listen to it again

[king ubu]

amazing "found footage" from one of bebop's original piano greats that nearly was forgotten several times:

and the best about it: there's a second disc of music from that great night!

[George]

Lovely!

Several listens today - my favourite album in the box

Now:

Lovely!

An amazing recording. All of those Bill Evans Trio albums (w/ Scott LaFaro and Paul Motian) are outstanding and essential listening for any fan of the piano trio format.

disc two - fascinating of course - Parker, to me, is one were having but the master takes will never be enough!
