It´s other music than what I listen to usually, but since I always was a big fan of "Drum Ode" this is a really interesting thing, good to close the eyes and listen carefully what happens.....

Yes, Al Foster ! For my taste, things went down from 1985 on, when he replaced Al Foster and went more into commercial stuff an it got more a kind of show, almost a parody of Miles, rather than stuff played in a band like on "We Want Miles"

how about this one ?

If I remember right, Grady Tate was also the drummer on "Dizzy´s Dream-Band" from 1982 or 1983. I have a DVD of that event but my DVDplayer gave up. But I´m quite sure it was Grady Tate on the big band sections, very fine really . On the small band sections it was Max Roach on drums.....

indeed it is, so good !

This one since I witnessed the exitement of Miles´ comeback and here it is still in a really jazz context, without all those synthisizers and the more boring stuff that came later. I really like it, maybe it´s a bit rough but it´s live and it´s still "jazz"

great photo, and yeah that gigantic pencil.....hahaha !

That must have been a great experience. I was too young than, but I´m happy I can listen to the recordings. Now listening to the next step after "Filles de Killimanjaro" "In a Silent Way" is one of my favourite records. By the way, very nice that tender organ sound of Joe Zawinul. The Hero from my hometown Vienna. And sad to say, a few days ago Joe Zawinul´s son Erich died caused by Covid-19. He was a renown DJ and only 54 years old and until then a strong and healthy man.

one of my favourite late 60´s Miles

What a wonderful album and such a great soloist on the bari. This was his last album, he passed away too early

Right now I´m listening to the second disc. "Make a Wish Make a List" is even wilder than on the "Croydon" or "Stuttgart" versions......, and a rare version of "Donna Lee" on this.

Wasn´t Buds last studio recording "Up´s n´Downs" also recorded for ESP, since I think it was done by Stollman. Only, that it was later issued on the Mainstream Label.

Didn´t she appear at Mingus and Friends 1972 ? This would have been after the early 60´s . Actually I don´t now other recordings of her than those two with Mingus on "Stollin´". In the liner notes of "Mingus and Friends" it´s stated that she must have been a baby when she recorded it with Mingus in 1959 since she was still a young woman in 1972. That´s all I know.

Some Art Pepper with the quartet with George Cables. Cherokee is fantastic, Ophelia too, everything.....

I always wondered what Monk might have thought about that strange cover . Was this Monk´s last album for Columbia ?

Many of my generation started the same way. This was in the 70´s, maybe mid 70´s and many of my high school colleges were very much into RTF. "Romantic Warrior" was one of the favourite records. Too bad I missed a Chick Corea concert somewhere in the late 70´s maybe 77 or 78 in Vienna with a group featuring Dave Liebman. This must have been shortly after RTF. Too bad there is no records of that formation with Liebman....

I love this one. Joe Henderson was a master of bossa and samba , I like his aproach to that kind of music very much.

Like the Croydon Concert from the same year and period, this is also great live Art Pepper with my favourite quartet. In that summer, Art Pepper also performed at "Velden Jazz Festival", but as much as I remember he didn´t have his own quartet and had to perform with Stan Getz´s rhythm section. I think, Lou Levy was on piano, to bad that it was not recorded, Pepper with Lou Levy , with all due respect to Milcho Leviev and George Cables, also would have been some interesting stuff.

Great stuff. The Joe Henderson album is wonderful and was recorded about the time when I saw Joe Henderson twice in 1978, 1979.

Both "Time Waits" and "The Scene Changes" are really great. About Pharoah Sanders: I purchased live at the East when I was still at high school.

Some very fine Art Pepper, this actually is my favourite quartet that he had.....

The Elvin Jones collaboration with Dave Liebman was really fantastic.

Both "Time Waits" and "The Scene Changes" are really great.

Great, I also listened to it a few days ago I saw J.C. Heard with Dizzy Gillespie Quartet in summer 1983. The personnel was Diz, Ed Cherry, Mike Howell and veteran drummer J.C. Heard. Dizzy had played and recorded with Heard as early as 1946 I think, so this was kind of a reunion. I remember the first tune was Manteca, really hot....

Some great Max Roach from 1984
