That looks interesting, is it?

Too much for me, I will pick a few off here and there I suspect

I really don't want to extend this much further but I will say that I didn't really feel personally attacked but the somewhat abrasive nature and words used I found unnecessary. Maybe I'm just too sensitive or "muddle class" to coin a phrase (which actually makes me smile, in a good way). I shall enjoy investigating your interpretations further but by download only as the CD doesn't seem to available over here. Edit to add: found the CD set, didn't realise it was 3Cds, saving up...

Yes, really like this. A lot. May have to buy the album on the back of it I obviously hear the difference in approach with JM but do still like that as well. As I don't know much about James Europe I think the Moran gives me an easier reference and a more direct in. For the same reason, I wouldn't have known this was necessarily referencing JE unless it says so on the box.

Have a rest now then 😃 maybe play some music...

Thanks for articulating what I've failed to in my recent posts @HutchFan I don't disagree with your analogy at all just removed it from my quote as I want to highlight your points about Moran Obviously others can critique the outcome of Moran's choices. It's only really enlightening when that's done with explanation, like @Larry Kart's recent post for which I am grateful

Spending quality time with mine perhaps, not that I've checked the tracking

Thank you for posting this, it's the most in depth obit I've come across. I had no idea that he and Ingrid's relationship started way back at his musical beginning. Also, how I'd love to recordings of that CMS tour to Turkey

Neil Swanson Quintet - 49th Parallel

Thank you for this post, the first in this discussion that provides insight and attempts to explain why Moran's approach might be seen as 'unsuccessful', especially in the eyes of those with knowledge and expertise. This is just what I have been looking for rather than just perjorative descriptors. Larry Kart, are there other factors intrinsic to Europe's music that make Moran's appear not to have hit the mark? I'm genuinely interested as someone who has enjoyed Moran's project both live and recorded. I still reserve my right to enjoy Moran's interpretation though 😀

Definitely. 'Mingus Moves' next up

Exactly, in the good old days it was extra tracks on the CD to tempt us over to that format. What goes around 😃

so easily led...😃

👍 and I'm listening to 'Let My Children Hear Music' prompted by the same thread despite it not being in that timeframe

My reaction too, I could be tempted by this. I only have 'Mingus Moves' which I consider a masterpiece. As for vinyl, I reckon you could pick up LP copies of all of them for less than $200 surely. You'd miss out on the alternates obviously but...

Fire! Orchestra - Echoes [Rune Grammofon, Norway 2023]

I was never a fan of them, a bit too heavy for me at the time. All the others you've been posting, definitely

+2

Yeah, I think this thread's a good idea as he's bound to write about a variety of subjects

Miles Coltrane story has it's own thread https://www.organissimo.org/forum/topic/89999-lewis-porter-coltrane-projects-that-never-happened-two-reunion-albums-with-miles-in-1967/

EKE BBB, you're playing my 90s record collection and taking me down memory lane 😄👍🏻

Absolutely nothing wrong with strong opinions just how they're expressed with such high-handedness. And yes, I was guilty of being disrespectful too and I'll apologise for the way my points were made, the language used, but not their essence. I didn't refer to your world as narrow at all, just referred to "your world" so that's either wilful misinterpretation to set up a straw man or an error. I'll take it as an error. I agree with your view of "Trumpies" and their lack of understanding of the basics but that wasn't really my point as I was talking about music and yes, it can be enjoyed without knowing the history. It may be enjoyed more or differently with that knowledge but that doesn't deny an enjoyment to those that don't engage more deeply. As for "If you don’t know the music, you shouldn’t talk about it." that's just arrant nonsense. Will we be setting exams for everyone and only letting them talk about music when they achieve a certain grade? Sounds like a great idea...

£20 postage putting me off. Hopefully it will get distributed here at some point

Peerless. And a great cover too 👍🏻
