This one: They're both really good records and I enjoyed them way more than I thought I would. Not sure why I went in with low expectations in the first place. That would be me to an extent. I struggle with Miles' collaborations with Gil Evans. To the point I just don't listen to them. Every now and then I'll put them on and it's always the same reaction..."nah, not for me"

Per this article, it was one of the songs from Crescent inspired by poetry Coltrane was reading at the time. https://www.everythingjazz.com/story/john-coltranes-criminally-underrated-record/

Noticed that piano too. The drummer's style was not what I expected either. Not bad, but not sure how much of a match it is for this tune. Still, probably a good release for any Art fan because really, how many live recordings of him from the 50s are there? All the live sets I have are 70s onward and in a much different style. I'd love to hear a ballad from this set. I'll probably end up getting it.

Found a track: Art is bringing it but in comparison to other versions of this tune, I don't know...this rhythm section sounds a bit stuck in the mud on this one. Or is that just me?

Did they happen to get this on the recording?

6 tracks of 32 total are incomplete.

If you like B3, this album is strongly recommended. Really fun listen. Farnsworth is locked in and the choir works really really well.

RIP I first heard him play on Duke Pearson's I Don't Care Who Knows It, then on several ECM releases. My favorite is the classic, Solstice. What a talent, indeed.

To wit:

Ok, glad others see them too. It's definitely not easy to find with that page design. Maybe the OP found them as well.

Does anyone else see the SoundCloud clips on the original post's link? There's about 4 or so and they're approx 6 mins long.

Ohhhh baby. I think my laser disc player actually still works!

The link you provided has Soundcloud links for at least some of these tracks. You may not be able to listen to them in France perhaps? From what I'm listening to, there's a strong tinge of ambient electronic sounds which give way to some beats here and there. It's a little eclectic, but they're interesting. I'm not hearing anything jazz related. I've listened to Aurora before and I'd say what I'm hearing on these sample tracks is much better than that album.

He's playing with guys I've never really heard of, which doesn't matter overall, but I'd love to hear some samples regardless.

Tony Coe's Axel "What Say We Play Today?" Recorded live in '77 at the Camden Jazz Festival in London. Four gloriously long tracks that are a great listen. https://jazzinbritain1.bandcamp.com/album/what-say-we-play-today

Oh yeah, Off to the Races is a great tune. Hadn't heard the L'Olympia version before. It's a treat to listen to these guys live.

Nice. Thanks for the word.

I sure as hell wasn't sleuthing that out. Well done @cayetano

Sleuthed track 9. Just went with the very few current-day clarinetists I could think of and hit pay dirt. It's track 4 from this album. This one rewards repeated listens as well.

I have and enjoy that Verve 2-fer. Have you gotten any of the Resonance sets? I have the Indiana Avenue one, and those liners were great. Basically, Wes barely slept. Worked full time at a factory and then played at night into the early hours of the next day.

Yeah, that seems out of the ordinary. I don't know much about Ponomarev but this was between his stint with Art Blakey and his first solo record. Wonder how he connected with Marsh?

Discogs pics have a description of what this references:

The Marsh is from this one. Personnel includes Curtis Boyd, Steve LaSpina and Valery Ponomarev Per the search there were only a couple of the live sets with a trumpet player so that helped.

I like the way you set this BFT up. It helps amateurs like myself track down these songs.
