sidewinder Posted March 16, 2020 Report Posted March 16, 2020 (edited) I remember listening on my tiny transistor radio and earpiece to a French station in Normandy playing one full side of ‘Agharta’ in fade in, fade out, back in the day. It was Summer so the tropospheric scatter across the Channel was working. I think the side they played was ‘Theme From Jack Johnson’. The only thing that made me aware of ‘Pangaea’ and ‘Magus’ back in the day, probably 1977, was a late-lamented Melody Maker article by either Richard Williams or Chris Welch saying how brilliant they were. Very frustrating ! At the time, the only store over here that might have stocked these would have been Collets. Mole wasn’t yet open. Edited March 16, 2020 by sidewinder Quote

mjazzg Posted March 18, 2020 Report Posted March 18, 2020 John Stevens Folkus - Life Of Riley [Affinity] Think this definitely qualifies as an overlooked gem of a record. Basil Kirchin - Everyday Madness [Trunk Records] a title for our times. Two tape pieces and a very nice Jazz suite. Recommended. Quote

danasgoodstuff Posted March 19, 2020 Report Posted March 19, 2020 7 hours ago, HutchFan said: More Turrentine: More Rainbow Series goodness, every bit as good or better than some stuff that was issued at the time (see the album of ST with Less McCann upthread), Alfred apparently though about issuing part of this along with part of another unissued session with Blue Mitchell and Herbie Hancock from the same period - maybe Blue Note should do exact recreations of some of these woulda/coulda/should've beens? Must say I do prefer the rendition of "Can't Buy Me Love" from wife Shirley's live date, also pictured upthread. Quote
