[Royal Oak]

Coninuing my 60s beat odyssey:

The Spencer Davis Group - The Second Album.

This I am enjoying. Certainly a much more convincing outfit thatn the Stones.

Sorry, really have to disagree with you on your Stones comment, even though I have liked Spencer Davis and, more particularly, Stevie Winwood from the start. The Stones have always had a hard-core of consistency and coherence. I have never doubted that they are entirely convincing in what they did (and, although much diminished, still do). As a teen in the 60s, there was no group more convincing to me and my cohort, than The Stones. It seems to me they were and are the template for hard-core rock and roll.

Dennis Gonzalez/Faruq Z. Bey - Hymn for Tomasz Stanko - (Qbico)

Often wondered about that one. Big fan of both Stanko and Gonzalez but ignorant of Faruq Z. Bey

[kh1958]

Charles Earland--Living Black (Prestige, purple label)

[clifford_thornton]

Dennis Gonzalez/Faruq Z. Bey - Hymn for Tomasz Stanko - (Qbico)

Often wondered about that one. Big fan of both Stanko and Gonzalez but ignorant of Faruq Z. Bey

It's a very nice "modal" melodic/free record. Nothing that will shatter your brain but then again, that's not Gonzalez' usual m.o.

[Upstateaudio]

Afro Blue Impressions- John Coltrane

thanks Clifford. Sometimes I can live without the brain-shattering so may well investigate further

bought this vinyl a few weeks ago and am just starting to listen:

"Duran" has a killer milesian funk/rock groove goin' on (Cobham!) and McLaughlin is killin' in somewhat of a Hendrix mode. and i've never heard the lead-off track "Song Of Our Country." it's a gil evans tune in orchestral fashion w/ miles like "sketches." will be listening to that later this evening...
