I am still digesting your recommendations for the 70s! 😜

Next Tuesday. Got my tickets today: https://www.festivaldejazzmadrid.com/blog/events/fred-hersch-avishai-cohen/ Cohen subbing in for Enrico Rava.

Makes sense! This new project is most welcome.

Yeah! Helen Folasade Adu was a favourite back on those days! What a voice, what a woman!

Now I need to listen to this companion disc...

👌

Well, he was Kenny Dorham in the LP back cover: Also for Savoy, early years: This time also on the back cover:

The music is inteeeeeeense!!!! Only the bass interludes bring some release. The disc gives you a really good glimpse of what experiencing this group live must have been at the time. And Elvin Jones is a f*****g monster. Only "minus" is that Coltrane's sax is quite low in the mix. "Four stars plus" for me.

Not sure if this one has been posted, I just discovered this Kinney Dorham trumpetist:

In my listening list for the next few days... stay tuned!
