+1. The RTF Light As A Feather album was my intro, followed in short order by the first RTF album and her Milestone albums. I wrote to her one time in the mid-70's when she was doing time for the cocaine bust, and she wrote me back. I also got to see her live at the Tower Theater in 1976, where she opened for Gil Scott-Heron. Fascinating show. This is what I'm listening to right now:

My favorite of the Pharoah/Alice albums. Energy music like nothing else. I have the USA version of the 4 CD set.

I'll take December as usual.

Interesting stuff, and audio is definitely listenable enough (you can hear all four instruments quite clearly), thanks.

Further research shows that 'Moments in Time' has the non-Gilberto tracks, so I chose to pick up a used copy of that and to pass on 'Getz/Gilberto 76'.

I've never seen an organ combo live. Would pick Charles Earland to see one, with Groove Holmes and Jimmy Smith being other priorities. Missed out on very early Joey DeFrancesco, who performed regularly in the area where I lived at the Balligomingo Inn . I never liked going to clubs by myself. Saw Shirley Scott one time at the Ethic Society, but she was on piano.

+1. Brackeen was a great pianist for him.

What was/is the tree? Not familiar with it.

So sorry. Peace and comfort to you and your family.

From theseconddisc.com: Miles Davis, Copenhagen Live 1969 (2LP; RSD Exclusive; 4400 copies) Before Bitches Brew galvanized jazz audiences in 1970 and set Miles firmly on a new, electrified path, it was a well-kept secret but to audiences like this one at the Tivoli Koncertsal in Denmark on November 4, 1969, several months after the album had been recorded. An ensemble featuring Davis, Wayne Shorter on saxophone, Chick Corea on electric piano, bassist Dave Holland and Jack DeJohnette on drums – all key members of the Brew sessions – here preview about half the record with other material from the period in a crackling performance. This set, recorded by a film crew, debuted on DVD in the 2010 Legacy Edition of Bitches Brew and had an extremely limited vinyl release two years later alongside an book devoted to artist Mati Klarwein, who designed the original album cover and the surreal art herein.

And it's $248 at DustyGroove. Truth is, even if you like OP (I do), some of the albums are pretty weak, and many (if not all) have been easily available through the years.
