Now playing: Beethoven: Symphony No. 9 "Choral" / Karl Böhm & the Vienna PO with Gwyneth Jones, Tatiana Troyanos, Jess Thomas, and Karl Ridderbusch (rec. 1972) This is a GRAND reading of the Ninth -- and an old favorite of mine.

I was completely unaware of this stuff. I am in, most definitely. Thanks for the heads-up, @gvopedz.

Now spinning: Jan Garbarek - Places (ECM, 1978) with John Taylor (org, p), Bill Connors (g), and Jack DeJohnette (d) EDIT: Such masterful drumming by Jack. His propulsive drive makes this music go.

Sorry to hear this sad news. But I am grateful for all of the music he's given us.

Now: Earlier:

I've already added the LP to my 'to get' list. There's a sense of joy and PLAYfulness in their music-making that's palpable. Next up: Another DOOZY from '79.

Ooooooo-eeee. Yeah, man !!!

Next up: This album compiles music from two LPs that Montoliu made for Timeless: - Yellow Dolphin Street (1977, complete) - Catalonian Folksongs (1978, six of ten cuts)

Good deal. I'll investigate.

That looks interesting. What do you think of it, John?

Next up: Chico Freeman - The Outside Within (India Navigation, rec. 1978)

Now: A lovely session.

"Commas are characteristic of the decadent Western bourgeoisie, the kulaks of punctuation."

Fantastic! (pun intended)

Amazing photo, Aggie.

Randy Weston & His African Rhythms Trio - Zep Tepi (Random Chance, 2006) with Alex Blake (b) & Neil Clarke (perc) Powerful.

Oh yeah! It's not hard for me to imagine that music being a soundtrack to racing. The cuts also sorta remind me of Dominic Frontiere's groovy soundtrack for On Any Sunday, which would work well too, I think:

Now playing: Bobby Watson - Advance (Enja, 1985) with Jim McNeely (p), Todd Coolman (b), and Adam Nussbaum (d)

More from Roy Eldridge:

and Re: the post above: Dynasty is one helluva record from beginning to end. @Teasing the Korean -- You've heard Getz's collaboration with Michel Legrand, Communications '72, right? It came out around the same time, and it also features Eddy Louiss. (Plus the Swingle Singers.) . . . I'm sure there are plenty of listeners who think it's a terrible album -- but I think it's wonderful. Communications '72 also features one of my all-time favorite covers: painting by Raymond Moretti

and I don't know that one. Will give it a listen.

NP: Ernie Krivda - The Alchemist (Inner City, 1978) Ernie Krivda (ts, ss, fl), Gil Goldstein (p), Eddie Gomez (b), Bob Moses (d), and Ray Mantilla (perc)
