guess if you meet Gene & are in politics, the future is what it is!

Not the only president that Gene Simmons has visited. In 2012, he and his beautiful wife were in Peru, and they visited the Peruvian President Ollanta Humala. You can see part of the visit in the video below (in Spanish). Today, Humala is in jail in Peru.

Not going down political lane, nor what I really think of Gene....

I have a handful of his CDs since they turn up so often in the dollar bins, and I've enjoyed them all. But I would give this one the nudge. Arguably slightly dated by now, but it's intense, highly personal, and passionate modern jazz.

This kind of puts the Kennedy Center honors into proper context. Gene sounds like Trump's kind of guy.

Disc 7 - What a wonderful ride!

I'm listening to this too: I'm streaming it via YT, deciding whether I'm going to plop for the Mack Avenue reissue. Of course, I probably will.

Short (under 40 minutes) but sweet.

If there was a past thread, please direct me to it. Otherwise I welcome some recommendations. Thanks!

Revisiting Out Of/Into “Motion II” Blue Note cd So glad this new “supergroup” have released a second. And it’s very good! Pianist Gerald Clayton, alto saxophonist Immanuel Wilkins, vibraphonist Joel Ross, drummer Kendrick Scott, and bassist Matt Brewer

Thanks! That's a great example.

It is reaching over into hyper-Jonny Quest territory and is entertaining as such.

More snow, and our furnace is acting funky; beyond my ability to solve though I’ve kept it going with frequent visits to the root cellar. Waiting on a service call back. Continuing on with my Yes re-visit with “Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe”

I would think a Christmas delivery unlikely.

Opinions on this one? I'm still a Kenton neophyte. Listening to this album right now. I like it so far!

yep, have all of these on LP or Cd, and they're fantastic indeed.

ah, thanks. I don't own any of the ESPs on CD.
