Those angular guitar noodles - absolutely

Two New Unreleased Clifford Jordan and Stan Getz from Zev
Guy Berger replied to tranemonk's topic in New Releases
My strong conviction is that modern, post-bop rhythm sections brought out Getz’s best playing -
I was party to several trees back in the day - this one, a Fillmore tree (2 additional concerts from March 1970, 3 from April 1970, and 3 from October 1970), a 1967 tree, a 1965-67 Coltrane tree, and a Coltrane in Europe tree
-
Yes I think so (though I’m having trouble finding corroborating links). IIRC the tree was 12 discs: 1-2 from March 1969 at duffy’s tavern, 3 from Central Park in July 1969, 4-5 in Rome (10/27), 6 at Ronnie Scott’s (11/02), 7-8 in Paris (11/03), 9 in Copenhagen (11/04, the gig in question), 10-11 in Stockholm (11/05), and 12 in Rotterdam (11/09). All worth hearing imho, this was special music.

This is a great concert. Two long, avant-garde explorations of “Miles Runs the Voodoo Down” and “It’s About That Time”. If you like this lineup you know what to expect but if not… this doesn’t sound much like In a Silent Way or Bitches Brew; it’s very freeish post-bop occasionally crossing over into free improvisation. The rock/R&B elements that show up in the March/April/June 1970 Fillmore concerts are used much more sparingly here.
-
Finally got around to listening to this at length. No strong opinion yet on which album is better but if you like the first one, you’ll enjoy this one too.
-
FWIW nothing I’ve heard about this makes me worried about sound quality. I’ve heard worse. Live Trane from this period is an incredible treasure. But also: I understand it’s not for everyone, even for many non-hardcore fans.
-
Enjoying the new Zooid (Cut You Where It Was)… not necessarily anything new from these guys but if you like their other work you’ll like this too. Haven’t listened to the trio w/Iyer and Prieto yet.
-
We’re lucky to get so much new Threadgill
-
It’s funny, I’m interested in this music but this entire marketing campaign seems engineered to annoy me
-
Nicely stated fwiw I enjoy the music these two made together! They were too good as musicians for it to be a failure. But clearly their best work wasn’t together
-
An reframing of this enigma: Miles was clearly bored with this group for 2 years but kind of coasted until they quit on him
-
One addendum I’d make to the boldface - Miles and the band had differing reactions to this. The rest of the band probably liked Mobley’s wavelength which is why they left Miles in 1963
-
Was Jackie still interested in being a sideman after the Messengers gig? Also, I don’t remember when Jackie lost his cabaret card - that would have been a big problem
-
Fans were buying this LP to hear Miles, not Hank. So this was giving them more of what they wanted.
