There is also this, in case you haven't heard about these recordings:

It may be for Jim's busy working schedule and organissimo no longer being his only or central musical endeavor. The bookmark that JSngry posted always works for me, btw.

I had totally forgotten that I bought this two years ago! Good singer, great album. Seems she likes to pose barefoot:

Reinhard Goebel's explorations of neglected contemporaries of Mozart and Beethoven are priceless.

Yesterday, disc 6

Thanks - I wasn't that close to him, not as with Tom Nicholas. Oh well, the masters that inspired us are passing, one by one .... that's life.,

Drummer Billy Brooks, whom most board members will know for his association with Woody Shaw and Nathan Davis in the mid-1960's, died on August 21. https://www.derbund.ch/nachruf-auf-billy-brooks-das-unikum-am-schlagzeug-298478936077 I was fortunate to see him perform in an all-star band with Sal Nistico and Benny Bailey. He was completely entranced and deeply connected with the music, feelling every nuance of the sounds he elicited from his drumset. A unique drummmer personality.

Some of my favourites, too, a dream team. He was one of the greatest, and never played an uninspired note. R.I.P.

I'd rather say they coined their styles from the same wider palette of influences, resulting in some similarities. They were born only three years apart. Look at all the Philadelphia sax players and how different they sound, although they shared ideas etc., Golson, Jimmy Heath ....

The Charly Antolini drum feature CDs had a reputation as potential speaker killers in Hi-Fi circles. They were aimed at audiophile circles and lived up to that reputation. They feature a rather direct sound without much room ambiance. This one is good, too, if you are interested in German neo-bop: This one I would have to listen to before I say anything about the music:

What's heard in the video clearly was beyond the comprehension capacities of any German rock fan or tv host of the time. No neat song structures - even The Flock or B,S & T had that.

Never heard of it or watched it! 😦

Dpn't forget that This show was hosted by Radio Bremen, in a town where the progressive pop culture had a home. It is significant that this town also became the home of the Archive für populäre Musik (which still exists). That station definitely had a more tolerant approach than others aiming at the mainstrream. And: what other pop music tv shows were there at the time? That this was not boradcast explains why I never saw it back then, as I watched these shows regularly and certainly would have remembered.

Beat Club was the top adress at the time for jazz rock fusion tv broadcast appearances in Germany. Ginger Baker's Air Force, The Flock, Blood, Sweat & Tears with Larry Willis .... don"t know why I missed this one. Thanks for posting.

This afternnon as soundtrack to a sunny balcony:

Bourgogne Rouge Sapidus 2015 Domaine Mongeard-Mugneret - Pinot Noir

It was a Milestone as it established him as the spiritual and energetical torchbearer in the Coltrane tradition. The majority of his last Blue Note sessions were still unissued at the time, so when he re-emerged with this power quartet, it was with a bang! If I were you, I would get me a copy.

Turns out I still have Trident and Supertrios on LP - time to disturb the neighbours!
