From the big "Complete Columbia Album Collection" box.  This album is better than I remember.

We Want Miles - Album by Miles Davis | Spotify

for me the very best album of Miles after his comeback. It´s fresh, it´s originals and not pop tunes, it is a playing band and no synthies and it is jazz musicians like Al Foster. It has fire and is not that kind of "show" where Miles was more a parody of himself...., and it is exiting, never gets boring....

I think Al Foster’s excellent playing is sort of like the icing on the cake of that fine album - although I wasn’t that keen on the album when it came out. Teo Macero really captures Foster’s drums well.

Joachim Kühn – This Way Out (MPS, 1973)

Double LP. I feel like the second, with Dudek, would potentially be a euro free jazz classic if it had been released on its own. Whereas the first LP is just dull.

Interesting.  My take is very different.  I dig the trio cuts.

 

 

Now listening to:

If you like reeds... this is a very fine album.

Itchy Fingers - Quark (1987, CD) | Discogs

 

Have that one on vinyl. Also remember them doing tracks from the album at Ronnie Scott’s many years ago (40 ish !:o)  just after it came out.

Martin Speake is playing Swanage with his quartet next weekend. Hope to catch it.

I agree it is by far the best of the post-comeback albums that I have heard.

Tracks 3-5 are...masterful. The others are fine, very fine, but those three... Carla Bley BIG BAND!!! 

This'un's a good'n.

More than the quartet track?

I enjoy a lot of Joachim Kuhn's music, but I really think that the second LP is much improved by Dudek.

Not necessarily more.  Just as much as.

I'm also reading Davis' autobiography. He led an unusual, fascinating life.
