10… out of 39 musicians I actually know. Must say that, after looking up the names, I had 5 ‘damn how could I’ve missed him’ moments. I didn’t recognize Mingus 😵 conclusion: I suck in recognizing my jazz heroes
Allright thanks! The text on their website gives the feeling they could finish the series any moment now but there's plenty to release then. Their weird release schedule might offend the more neurotic buyer 😅Not in a hurry here but I was just wondering... Looking forward recieving all that music.
amazing record. Sound quality is very good. There are some issues with it in track B but sounds like a tape issue. Great decision to release this concert.
not a big Jarrett fan but this was one I could appreciate. But listening to it now it annoys me as well. I put it off after 20 minutes. Probably blasphemy to some folks but it just doesn’t work out between Jarret and me.
This one I do like.
Oh dear I can’t believe I am reading this just now. That sad news. I loved his enthusiasm and the thumbs up he gave when I spun a certain record he liked. He will be missed. From the photos he looks like a very friendly guy. May he rest in peace
Okay thanks guys. Really like what I am hearing and bad sound isn’t a show stopper for me but like to hear it in the best way possible at least. Khan Jamal is also on fire in this one
Listening to this one now trough Spotify and I am fascinated by it. Sound is pretty bad. Does anyone know if the 2008 cd reissue was an improvement over the original LP?
For those unfamiliar with it: it’s with Jerome Cooper, Khan Jamal and some lesser know but excellent musicians:
Hopefully you’ll be able to pick up an affordable copy. It would make a beautiful candidate for the Craft Contemporary 70th anniversary series but I thinks it’s probably too far ‘out’ for that.
Sonny Simmons: Burning Spirits. What a great record and what a great band: Barbara Donald, Michael White, Lonnie Liston Smith, Cecil McBee, Richard Davis and Clifford Jarvis.
Happy birthday mr. Haynes. So much respect for you and all your contributions to the music. I wish I'd been able to tell people I played with both Charlie Parker and John Coltrane.... As long as it's in good health: many years for you to come please!
