Happy Birthday, congrats !!!

This is a night where I have a day off, I didn´t have to play so I decided to relax at home, with some good vegan food and great music from two albums that arrived today: First, since I am into those things, I spinned the wonderful "Goin´Home". I love Albert Aylor, I love his spirituality in general, in another manner than Trane or my beloved Pharoah Sanders, but just beautiful and deep. This special mood let me go out for a walk in the small hours. Usually I don´t comment the weather since I´m not so interested in it, but this night was special. Since we have a rare year with some snow here in Viena/Austria, I forget how beautiful the snow is in the night and enjoyed walkin in that silence... I recaptured the music and did my prayers where I thank the Godnesses for watching over me, thank my late wife Serena whose spirit also is watchin over me, and thank the Godnesses for the great love I found with that wonderful young girl I am with.... After that, I did somethin good for me, takin a hot shower, washing my hair thats gettin longer and longer and while let it dry just with room temperatura I spinned the fantastic "Obsession". Well I´m so happy to hear the great Cindy Blackman here, and all those fantastic guys.

Sounds great, I have an album with the same group live at Onkel Pö´s (Germania) Must be nice. From the cover it looks like those legendary Black Lion albums of Americans in Paris, in the 60´s. I have some of them: One Dexter Gordon, one Bud Powell, and one Don Byas if I remember right.

Can Blue Note contracts be obtained this way as well?

Disc 2 of this treasure trove, which includes the set with Chet Baker and Miles Davis (which has been issued before, iirc, but most of the music on this L.A. Jazz Institute collection has not) A classic! Gotta revisit that one soon.

Pretty sure mine was a June 2026 date when I pre-ordered, but that was quite awhile ago at this point.

AlAyAG (was Hat Hut Records) alay.ch https://www.alay.ch AlAy are the first two letters of the late Albert Ayler. The new name of my company was chosen to pay tribute to and in great appreciation of the saxophonist/ ...

Am I totally mistaken or hasn't the release & delivery date for that book been April 2026 all along? At least that's what amazon.de said all the time.

Her vocal duets with Eddie Erickson were always fun at jazz parties.

This one starts off with "If I were a Bell" but not distorted.

This thread reminded me that I was contacted by soneone who had a recording of Don Cherry at Cornell in 1991 and he was wondering how to get in touch with the estate. I need to reply to him. Is this a recording that is widely circulated? It is not listed on the website above, but it must be a Multi Kulti gig.

I think I have one from Japan from that time, with Rivers, maybe Tokyo, and it also has a distorted sound at the beginning, I think the tune is "If I were a Bell", something is not okay with the sound for a moment.....

Hadn't heard Undercurrents by Bill Evans & Jim Hall in years and couldn't believe how much I enjoyed it this week! Made me feel so good!

👍- I just found this LP on my shelf ...

Anyone know whether the second edition of the Coltrane Reference will be published before the centenary of Coltrane’s birth (September 2026)?

The system is all warmed up and I’m treating it to a Monday Michiru that is among my favorite listens of the darkest time of this century–“Optimista” . . . talk about a percussive wall of sound. I love this photo–I love any woman who can laugh this way. 300×299 7.48 KB
