I like "Canyon Lady" I think it was the first Joe Henderson album I had. 

this sure is good. Cindy Blackman was a great jazz drummer. 

Mine to. That´s what I have. But if there is any "Blues for Bud"......Hampton Hawes states in this book that his style is so close to Bud´s and that he is only one or two grooves different than Bud, but I disagree, Hampton Hawes never sounded like Bud, never phrased like Bud, he is a great piano player and I love what he does, but I think I would not do any good for him if I´d say he comes from Bud. I love Bud, but I love any good piano players and Hamton Hawes may have been underrated, maybe because he was not on the East Coast, but he was a very fine piano player. 

Thank you so much ! I´m better now 😀

I think after Miles had gone to retire for 5 or 6 years, I began to be increasingly interested in Ornette Coleman´s PrimeTime.  Sure I had heard the "Free Jazz" with the Double Quartet at older friends when I was less than 14, and loved it, but like Miles, who played other music than "Nefertiti" or "All Blues" when I heard him, the same was with Ornette Coleman. But it was great, so much rhythm.  This album seems to be much later than what I had heard in the 70´s since it sounds much more "polished" but very very fine. And there is one ballad on which Ornette plays some incredible fine trumpet. Up into the highest register, and maybe if Miles would have lived longer and heard that, he would have changed his opinion that Ornette can´t play trumpet.  Well, I like his violin playing also very much, but it seems he does not play violin on that record.  My younger son loves "Opening at Caravan of Dreams" for it´s "Punk Rock Sound", and me too, I love especially "dark punk" I mean the style, the fashion and sure, the music, so there we have somethin in common...... I´ve never heard the "Loadstar". Can you recommend it.  I saw Max Roach around 1978, and have heard it´s around that time it was made, is it a good record ?
