    Drumfusion playing now. Garnett Brown is on this one too :tup

    Edit to add: it's excellent. Thanks for the tip!

    Edit #2: looks like this has never been reissued on vinyl nor CD. I hope I'm wrong. 

    That's a great album. Keep following felser's recommendations for more that good too

    That album was my introduction to Lloyd ca. 1972/1973 courtesy of the Norristown/Montgomery County Public Library.  They also had the amazing 'El Pampero' by Gato Barbieri - those two albums left a lasting impression on me.  Can't remember what other jazz albums I borrowed from there, but they had several.

    Listening to 'In the Soviet Union' now and enjoying a lot, despite Jarrett overplaying at points.

    All power to the public library system, my introduction to lots of Jazz.

    I went on to work in public libraries for 16 years ending up being the music buyer - lots more Jazz :D

    The recent BNs are not setting my world alight  either (although I've not gone deep into them) and I do feel there's been a general dip since he left ECM. I saw him just pre-Covid in Ronnie's and he was great live. During Covid I watched a couple of very good live streams and a great film put together for  Pierre Boulez Saal and the berlin Jazz festival

    The Chico Hamilton records with the Lloyd/Gabor Szabo "front line" couple with Lloyd's first Columbia records very nicely, imo.

    Absolutely this. These albums deserve repeated attention. I also agree about the Atlantics, beyond 'Dream Weaver' it all gets a bit much of a muchness

    Really? Wow, that's kind of unexpected. While I don't really dig his Blue Note output, his ECM albums are some of the strongest not just in his catalog but across that entire label's. 

    I agree absolutely about the ECM releases, they are uniformly strong, but then some folks don't like or readily dismiss that label.

    Not saying that's what leads to Larry Kart's take on Lloyd (I'm also surprised by such a blanket dismissal) but I know it's seriously coloured other people's opinions of artists on the label.
