Released on Vanguard in the US? Sadao is way in over his head, god bless him. The trio renders him all but invisible. But the result is a stealth classic!

BFT 252 discussion: a couple hours of musical enjoyment
JSngry replied to clifford_thornton's topic in Blindfold Test
March has been (and will continue to be...) a timesuck of a month, so sorry for the lateness. TRACK ONE - To use a cliche - brooding! Caravan is quoted, and appears to be the tune. Not broad enough (geometrically) to be Bley, but you could draw a line there if you wanted a line there. Likeable, certainly, but if I don't need a line, I would like a point, and this one seems to have some ideas about getting to one, but maybe not finally. I think I would like it more if I was in the room with it, just get it that one time and call it all good. And then move on. No need to here the playback. TRACK TWO - Bamboo flute is always (to use another cliche) "evocative". As well as is high register arco bass. And now we has the jazz. Just a tad ploddy, but it seems natural, so ok. It's real, so that's the thing. I do feel that I know this tenorist, it's like a cooljazz Sam Rivers, if you know what I mean. And it is a voice, nice architecture. Kick me for not getting it right now! I like it. I could almost guess Jarman, maybe Kalaparush, but not quite. TRACK THREE - I think I have this record? Pretty much like it from jump. Fully focused on all counts, message understood in front, message delivered. Yeah! TRACK FOUR - Arco bass is everywhere!!! George Lewis? One of those deliberate sensationalistic things where you play the spaces and make the bumps in between. It take a lot of patience to do this well, and this is done well. TRACK FIVE - I like this one too! And it's another player I recognize, but can't recall the name. Definitely somebody who can play changes. I kinda feel like playing changes is not at all essential, but damn it, if you're going to play an attractive tune with attractive changes, be able to play the changes, dammit. Yeah, this is good, and the snare drum is tuned well. TRACK SIX - Pretty specific zone. Post Dolphy/Out to Lunch, and as such, mission accomplished. Congratulation to all! Everybody came to play! TRACK SEVEN - OK, time/place seems apparent...Roswell Rudd? @ Van Gelder's? Late 60s/early 70s? Seems like I might have this one, but no bets being placed...Takes a little detour in terms of expected solo presentation. Seeps the groove and mood as it goes though. Curious to hear the whole record! Pianist's date, correct? Nice and expansive playing. TRACK EIGHT - That's a good record! I don't have it and can't really hazard any guesses, but that's a good record! Enthusiasm drops a teence after the trumpet tho. But that's a damn good trumpet player! TRACK NINE - TRUE BELIEVERS!!!!! You can't fake it with this stuff. And don't look dawn, ever never. I know I've heard this one, and might even have it somehow. It sure feels familiar, and in the best way. TRACK TEN - Ok, yeah! Some nice, extended bebop composition, not halfasses lickurgitation. Is that KD? Early Tabackin? That headofsteam rolling downhill thing that both him and Eddie Daniels had at the time. Pianist comps better than solos, so I'd guess it's their tune?Don't think I know this record, but if the two horn players are any indication, I'm in! TRACK ELEVEN - Gonna need to be in more of a mood for this type of Tristanoish-once-removed abstraction than I am now. That might change on any given day, though. TRACK TWELVE - Hmm...not sure. Full of sound and fury, to be sure.... TRACK THIRTEEN - This one loses me almost from the beginning. Sorry. The tenor solo i pretty rudimentary in how it links ideas. Earlier Chico Freeman? The pianist is a lot higher IQ, but by then it's too far gone.I like the guitarist as well. So hey tenor player...why you? Pretty outstanding compilation here over all. I didn't ID for shit (might have done better a decade or two earlier, maybe). And I had to break it into parts, my patience of longer improvised pieces is diminishing except at the highest level. But that's just me. Maybe I have a shorter attention span now. Well-earned I hope? Anyway, thanks!!! -
What Classical Music Are You Listening To?
JSngry replied to StarThrower's topic in Classical Discussion
Just finished this mostly marvelous set: Which concludes with an Ornette Coleman record: This group was off my radar until now. Lots of great music played with spirited skill -
Ah, initially scrolled past that. Thanks!

The drummer also seems not particularly developed yet either, in spots any way.
