Posted 15 Nov 2015 Joseph Jarman and Famoudou Don Moye, Egwu-Anwu (Sun Song) (India Navigation). Nice showcase of both talents without the other guys. Jimmy Giuffre 3, Music for People, Birds, Butterflies & Mosquitoes (Choice). Great album from Giuffre's 70s trio. Lots of flute. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kiyoshi Tokunaga and Randy Kaye are an excellent rhythm section for this music.

The Tubby Hayes Tempos are particularly good - considering they are needle drops. no tapes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 17 Nov 2015 Miles Davis & Sonny Stitt: Live in Stockholm 1960 (Dragon) Listening to this last night, I heard one man immersed in his music and another man playing for a paycheck. Perhaps a harsh opinion, but a true one for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps a harsh opinion, but a true one for me. I tend to go for the spring, 1960 tour with Coltrane, because I feel similarly about Stitt's playing on the fall tour. But years ago a friend pointed out something about the tour with Stitt, and I've found it to be true: Miles really bears down on the Stitt dates - he plays. My guess is the he didn't hear/feel much coming from Stitt and felt he had to make up for that. By contrast, there are moments from the spring Coltrane tour when Miles seems to be - well, not coasting; I wouldn't go that far - but not stretching himself, because he knows that Coltrane is pushing himself to the limit. Does this make any sense? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does this make any sense? Yes. Miles id definitely playing to the max on this record. I'll have to listen again to the Trane recordings before I comment on his playing there.

Does this make any sense? I saw the Davis/Stitt band on this tour. Just out of my teenage years. I don't remember too much about it except what was played was hot and totally unexpected. We were definitely not prepared for it from the recordings available at the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So sorry to have missed that gig. They were at the Free Trade Hall when I was a student in Manchester. However, it was during the university vacation and I was at home with my parents in Leeds. My Manchester student friend, the late Jack Massarik, managed to make the gig. Edited 18 Nov 2015 by BillF Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
