Bill Evans - The Tokyo Concert (Fantasy, 1974) with Eddie Gomez and Marty Morrell

I'm not sure what "boiling over" means either -- unless you're talking about a pot on a stovetop! As for "bowling over," see definition 2 below: bowl over v. 1. To knock someone or something down to the ground: The kids ran down the hallway, bowling over everyone in theirway. A strong wind will bowl that billboard over. 2. To make a powerful impression on someone; astound someone: She bowled over everyone at the meeting with her amazing presentation. His new songs bowled me over, so I bought his new CD. You must go hear this poet—you will be bowled over!

The Dave Liebman Group - Turnaround: The Music of Ornette Coleman (Jazzwerkstatt, 2010)

danasgoodstuff, I pretty much agree with your assessment. I've enjoyed The Sermon, and it's interesting to hear the sacred works in a jazz context -- but it's never really bowled me over like some other HH recordings have. IIRC, The Sermon was the last recording Hawes made before he was sent to prison. With a few exceptions, I like the music Hawes made after his incarceration best.

Jimi Hendrix - First Rays of the New Rising Sun (Sony) I stayed away from Hendrix's posthumous releases for many years, not wanting to hear any "half-baked" Hendrix. My son, who's a Hendrix fanatic, brought this home a few years ago. When I finally heard it playing in his room one day, I was shocked by how fully realized -- and flat-out GREAT -- it sounds. Billy Cox brings so much to this music, an incredibly funky and soulful vibe. . . . When Hendrix died, I was two years old. If I could travel back in time to hear Hendrix in person, I'd rather hear the band on this record (with Cox & Mitch Mitchell) than even the classic "Jimi Hendrix Experience" with Noel Redding. I'm going to see/hear Pharoah perform next weekend.

More Lieb: Dave Liebman Quintet - If They Only Knew (Timeless) This is Lieb's smoking band with John Scofield and Terumasa Hino, the slapper of over-enthusiastic student drummers. David Liebman Big Band, Directed by Gunnar Mossblad - Beyond the Line (OmniTone)
