      You might not enjoy them so much either, but he's prolific and they aren't all the same.

      Cheers. I tend to associate him with The Hated music and similar records so I'll check these others out.

      I've always liked the duos and groups with Randall (Randy) Colbourne on drums, whether on Tulpa, Cadence, Zaabway (think that was their coop label) or Family Vineyard. They're noisy but very interesting records to me. The duos with Marc Edwards do bring out nuance (Marc having played with Cecil, David S. Ware, et al. brings something else to the table). The CDs with Weasel are fun, including both Dragonfly Breath albums. The Hated Music duos rip but if that is a bit one-dimensional for you there is more to hear elsewhere. The solo stuff is cool too; there are a couple of examples on disc. I also enjoy Orange and Trinity Symphony, his earliest albums, but they are hardly what I would call "free jazz" -- more in the realm of psychedelic backwoods improvising weirdness (cf. Pygmy Unit). I would not go to Flaherty if you are looking for post-Coltrane or Pharoah-esque textural symphonies. He has been doing what he does for a very long time, before anyone hip or unhip cared.

      Randy Brecker in straight-ahead sessions

      By Milestones · Posted

      He has some fine spotlights on the Mingus Big Band album, Live in Time.  I know he's on other albums by this group. I recently started on a thread on Jack Wilkins--two albums there.

      Randy Brecker in straight-ahead sessions

      By colinmce · Posted

      His debut Score is sort of evenly split between excellent burning hard bop and very corny proto-jazz rock, but it's worth a listen for the strength of the former. And he is heard extensively on the Pendulum Mosaic Select, which is incredible up and down. Some others I can think of: Everything Is Everything - Just Flash In The Cosmic Pan (Columbia Japan) - more free than straight ahead (don't forget he was in the JCO!). Desperately needs a reissue. Horace Silver - In Pursuit of the 27th Man (Blue Note) Hal Galper - Reach Out (Steeplechase) Marc Copland Quintet - Stompin' With Savoy (Savoy) Marc Copland/Randy Brecker - Both/And (Nagel Hayer) John Scofield - Quiet (Verve) Lew Tabackin - Tenority (Concord) The Mingus Dynasty - Mingus' Sound of Love (Soul Note) Richie Bierach - Some Other Time: A Tribute To Chet Baker (Triolka) Miroslav Vituous - Universal Syncopations II (ECM) And I agree his playing on those great Grolnick albums is excellent.
