Whoah... Mind. is. Blown.

It's one of my favorite Coltrane Impulse albums! Both are great, although they are a lot less known (and harder to find) than "Alors". "No, no, but it may be" is another fine one. And there are many more... I just realize he will turn 80 this years. We should cherish him. Wow, 80!? Had no idea...I actually really enjoyed his most recent CD (bird watcher)..

John Patton "along came john" (blue note, mono NY USA) Michel Portal "splendid yzelment" (akt/CBS, France). Have not played this in at least 15 years...good to dig it out again. Sounds amazing...think tomorrow night I'll have to pull out "our meanings and our feelings"!

Most of Steve Reid's 70s albums as well as Charles Tyler's records with Steve Reid are some other examples in my opinion...I guess Reid's drumming has more of a "rock" then "swing" feel but overall my foot gets tapping when I hear these albums!

Aeoc "people in sorrow" George Lewis "homage to Charlie Parker" Those two immediately come to mind; harder to pick a third..will have to think some more

I love that album and the complete "on the corner" CD box set is simply incredible

Check out the summer hill pyramid wine website; maybe Peter will play inside the pyramid and summon the cosmic pyramid vibes :0

Toshi Ichiyanagi/Michael Ranta/Takehisa Kosugi "improvisation 1975" (iskra, Japan). Probably one of the rarest records in my collection and one of my favorite "avant garde" records. The original pressing sounds 10 times better then the bootlegs more commonly available

What's the extra session?

Pm sent

Nana Mouskori

I may buy this despite having original or early pressings of the Atlantics plus the Japanese "to whom keeps a record" LP...easy format for the car stereo.

Used to have a mint Japanese pressing of that. In a moment of stupidity I sold it years ago Right now: Benny Bailey "soul eyes" (MPS, Japan)

When I was a teenager and just getting into jazz I enjoyed Monk, Davis, Coltrane, Mingus, and Coleman. I recall, however, that Ornette's music resonated with me the most and I played his music most often.

Downloads; booooooorrrrrrrriiinnnggg

Nathan Davis "happy girl" (Saba tree, Germany) That's a fun one. Any album with ring modulator is fun

Hey I'm a music fan but I like this thread so I can nerd out when I feel like it Sometimes great finds can open up a lot of doors...I recall finding a box of "free jazz" around 1990 or so that had just arrived at Bud's jazz in Seattle and inside was "people in sorrow", "congliptuous", a few Sun Ra titles and more. It was all pretty cheap so I bought a bunch of them and it exposed me to new sounds and directions in music. A pretty special day for a 17 year old...

Nice...I have "morning rise" by this group on the German Ego label. Right now: MC5 "kick out the jams" (Elektra, USA gold label uncensored version)

It's all in the mastering; I have crappy sounding LPs and crappy sounding CDs. I also have records that sound better then the CD and CDs that sound better then the record. It's a case by case scenario over here... The whole CDs vs Vinyl militant arguing bores me to tears...to each his own...why push your opinions on other people

Nooooo don't turn this into a vinyl vs CD war haha

Happy birthday!

Vinko Globokar "drama and correspondences" (BASF, Germany). Have not played this in over 10 years or more...inspired by Michel Portal thread today.

I have almost all of his records and CDs. "Dockings" is a great later one. "Bird watcher" for me was much better then "Minneapolis". "Burundi" is another great disc in a more world music vein. And of course all his early LPs from "our meanings and feelings" onwards are fantastic. Also recommended is "new phonic art" and "exotica" by Kagel but both are more in "contemporary music" territory.

Thanks for sharing!

I used to own it and got rid of it as I found the (quite prominent) Finnish recitation quite off putting. I made a nice CD if it I can refer to whenever I may but did not see myself playing this much if at all. If you are talking obscure 80s Vesala albums I would check out "Mau Mau" or "neitsymaka" first. Who did Takamaki play with last night? Does he have any recent or forthcoming releases? I'm envious!
