this double LP contains some of the best Coltrane I know. Songs like Living Space (that Tyner solo 😮) and Feelin Good. You could hardly believe it wasn’t released immediately. Of course all of it was later added as bonus tracks on the Impulse! CD’s and Living Space was a release on itself. Those were among my first jazz cd’s and I still cherish this music.

All we boys at hi school wanted to "play Miles Davis", buying huge sunglasses, bendin down and mimicking a wah wah trumpet, he was Mr. Super Cool. I was lucky I could manage both of it. The acoustic with Trane or with Wayne Shorte, as much as the early electric and the post 73 stuff. Saw him with "Lieb" at Stadthalle Vienna.

Sounds like Vienna back then was a wee bit different to here. Most people my age had never heard of Miles Davis. The aspiration was either to wear loon pants and doc martens  or jean jackets with Motörhead on the back !

The Bay Big Band – Plays Duke Ellington

part of the Brussels world exhibition that also gave us the Atomium? Not quite sure, but the cover photo (by Ray Avery it says?!) is from the Belgian Congo Pavillion at the Brussels world fair... I guess the underlying story is that Belgian jazz musicians' expertise in playing Afro-American music had some of its roots Belgium's involvement in Congo? Those were different times... And, of course, despite the stereo sound, I guess you only need this if you are the most hopeless type of Ellington completist... the band is good, most of the musicians can also be heard on Jack Sels recordings from the time... but Ellington is impossible to cover well with a bunch of studio heroes

Dick Grove - Little Bird Suite

according to John William Hardy in his role as ornithologist, the cover photograph may well be the first published picture of an Aulocorhynchus Prasinus

My idea of a perfect album. This was standard listening in my youth. And the live version of the title tune on one of the VSOP albums.

Art Ensemble Of Chicago – Message To Our Folks

Cheaper option Affinity pressing. I actually prefer to cover to the BYG original, and it sounds reasonable.

Now on:

One of my favourite Lee Konitz records.

Both of those LPs are incredible.
