And Keith Tippett's Centipede's ' Septober Energy'. This was a truly bonkers project featuring 50 jazz and rock musicians. Must have lost loads of money.
Yes, that's a good one to add. I understand they even flew the Brotherhood of Breath musicians in and out from Germany on a daily basis for the recordings so it must have cost an absolute fortune to make !
Worksop is east of the Mississippi!!!!!!
If 10 Brits pool $300 each we get a CD each and a private performance in one of our homes!!!!
Some-where mid-UK then?
NEC Birmingham ?
Some Blue Note gems which sometimes skip under the radar.
Walter Davis Jr 'Davis Cup'
Kenny Drew 'Undercurrent'
Stanley Turrentine 'Up at Mintons Vol 1 and 2'
Pete La Rocca 'Basra'
Joe Henderson 'Our Thing'
Booker Ervin 'The In Between'
Leo Parker 'Let Me Tell You 'Bout It'
Ike Quebec 'It Might As Well Be Spring'
Anthony Williams 'Spring' and 'Lifetime'
Grachan Moncur III 'Evolution' and 'Some Other Stuff'
lots more, of course.
Mustn't forget Mike Westbrook's 'Metropolis' and 'Citadel/Room 315'. These are solidly based in jazz but with major Brit rock/fusion undertones circa 1972/73.
