Etcetera is my #1 favorite Shorter leader-date, bar none. Buy with confidence!

Infinity (under Lee's name) is maybe my favorite Lee & Jackie date. Yeow!!!

Gil Evans always struck me as someone who would have been interesting to have had dinner with.

Don't have time to dig into specific examples from YouTube, but didn't various Dave Holland groups often have two soloists going at the same time? (Thinking of Kenny Wheeler and Steve Coleman together -- in Holland's group -- in particular.) Or Greg Osby and Gary Thomas on Gary's 1998 album "Pariah's Pariah"? Neither were totally 'free' contexts, though neither conservative either.

Was this cover for "City of Glass" ever issued on LP? - i.e. a 12-inch release? Given that both 'city' and 'glass' are mentioned in the title, this could be a contender. (Have always loved this cover, though I only have it on CD.) So, in all my poking around on-line, this cover does NOT appear to have ever been released specifically on LP (12") -- and was/is CD only. Shame, it's a great cover. Can't imagine there were any 12"x12" promo cardboard 'flats' of it produced, were there? I know, a needle in a haystack, if ever there was one (at best). A guy can hope, can't he?

I didn't mean to come off as being as negative about AMLOR and The Division Bell as I did. The production on AMLOR is what hurts it most, but Gilmour's guitar is thrilling throughout, and 75% of the tunes are good (if not great, though perhaps a couple are ). And The Division Bell is a lovely album, without a whole lot to say that's negative (at least not from me). Still, I have been very pleased with The Endless River, which I had expected to like, but wasn't sure how "exciting" it would really be. But, to my surprise, it does appear to have a fair bit of meat on its bones, and although not all of it is "exciting" in the classic sense of that term, it is digging its claws into my brain with each successive spin, to its great credit.

Love it. Better than most of AMLOR by a mile, and more fun (at least for me) than The Division Bell (which I do like, but has been slow to grow on me, mostly only over the last 5 years). The Endless River might be my favorite Floyd (or Floyd-related) release since Animals. And a fitting tribute to Rick, RIP.

Robert should do or not do whatever he likes. I listen to more of his post-Zeppelin solo recordings than Zep, and he should follow his own muse however suits him. More power to him.

Definitely. Of those I've posted here to this thread, I agree, Into Somethin' and Goin' Up (which I presume is what you meant by "Up Up Up") -- are the two best. And I agree that cityscapes, much as I love them, are going to be of less interest.

And here's the previous thread I started, some 7 going on 8 years ago!

Maybe (just maybe) some modernist sculpture? Andrew Hill - Smokestack... PS: It's tempting to also include Hill's Judgment, but the brick-wall background isn't quite "sculptural" or "modern" enough for what I'm looking for, tempting though it may be!

These might also qualify -- gonna be tough to narrow down my choices to just 4! Joe Henderson - Page One Herbie Hancock - Inventions and Dimensions...

I know I started another "Album Covers with Buildings" thread several years ago (I'll have to look for it too), but I'm looking to frame about four (4) LP covers for my office where I work (at a prominent architecture museum in Washington DC), and am looking for some iconic covers to include. Could be all Blue Note, but wouldn't necessarily have to be all BN. The very first one that comes to mind is, or course, Larry Young's Into Somethin' -- and is perhaps THE model of what I'm looking for other examples of... I'm temped to maybe also include stuff with architectural details, like Bobby Hutcherson's Compenents too... Ideally whatever I pick, I'd rather the architecture to really be front and center, and the main concept of the cover, rather than a picture that happens to include buildings (of which there were a lot of in the other thread). Many thanks!! -- Rooster Also tempting, Eric Dolphy's Out to Lunch... And also Freddie Hubbard - Goin' Up...

Cue a few of the Andy Warhol line-drawing covers?

I'm in!!

Anybody know if they had a falling out?

Greg Osby & Jason Moran. IMHO, nothing Obsy's done since Moran left his group around 2001 has quite rivaled what they recorded before (together). And Moran's own leader output was never better than during the time he was with Osby. I hope they record together again someday.

Had no idea there was any original EOTH-related footage out there! Damn!

Wow, very impressive! Managed to somehow watch/stream the entire thing twice -- I guess I had the whole thing buffered, and managed to skip back to the beginning of the Roney part a second time (and watch the whole thing again), before I lost the connection. I sure hope this material gets recorded properly and released officially, although I must say the sound quality of this live recording from Detroit was pretty fantastic (even better than I could have expeceted). I would have to think it was recorded multitrack, and then they adjusted the levels after the fact. If not, major kudos to whomever was doing sound/engineering the recording in realtime. Recognized several themes and a couple vamps -- though nothing I could immediately ID by name.

Looks like you can skip ahead in the video. The Wallace Roney part starts about 45:50 into the 75-minute stream.

T minus 10 minutes on the video...

Video is tonight, in about 4.5 hours or so. Hoping to catch some of this, if I get home in time from another evening event.
