  1. Sun-Ra-Sun-Ra-Nuits-de-l-414919.jpg

    Sun Ra - Nuits de la Fondation Maeght, Vol. 1 (Recommended). I picked up Recommended's beautifully produced 45 RPM reissue of the original Shandar album about 30 years ago. "The Cosmic Explorer," the synth/organ improvisation that takes up all of side two, is monumental.

    "The Cosmic Explorer" is a favorite of mine as well! Both vol.1 and vol.2 of the Maeghts are real great Ra.

    The World of Cecil Taylor (Candid, mono)

    This is a beautiful and intense album. Love the first song "Air".

  2. My list of 10 classic albums today would be:

    Jazz In Silhouette

    Lanquidity

    Sleeping Beauty

    On Jupiter

    Astro Black

    Unity

    Live In Montreux

    Art Forms Of Dimensions Tomorrow

    The Antique Blacks

    Universe In Blue

    Cosmic Tones For Mental Therapy

    When Angels Speak Of Love

    Guess that was about 12. :)

    Art Yard, Transparency and Atavistic have been the most active reissue companies in later years. Saturn Research releases many albums on vinyl. Evidence was the most active reissue company until about 2000.

  3. Don't think anybody mentioned it, but Chico was hip enough to bring a young Eric Dolphy into his group:

    This looks like an interesting session. Another very fine collaboration album with Andrew Hill:
