What vinyl are you spinning right now??

Yes, wouldn't argue with Clifford's suggestions. 'Oliv' and 'Karyobin' are both extraordinary, and the former is a great introduction to Stevens' use of female vocals, also featured to great effect on 'Birds Of A Feather' and '1.2.Albert Atler'

'Biosystem' is towards the end of Steven's SME journey and as such is absolutely indicative of his approach to music but you may be better immersing yourself in his world elsewhere first, rather depends on how you feel about strings-only (with a hint of cornet) based free improvisation.

Excellent.  Thank you too!

Has that version of Harlem ever been officially released on cd? I've got it on Chronological Classics but it's not even on the supposed "Complete Ellington 1947-52".

Yes, and I have one. It was replaced by Controversial Suite on this version -

I have it as this:

Not very sexy as far as vintageness goes, but that series ended up in cutout bins and provided much service by so doing.

Does anybody have the 10"?

Two of my favourite vintage bop recordings

The Wardell Gray stuff is really all star.

I never had heard before Shelly Manne on drums, or.......maybe on an early Ornette Coleman record. It´s a pleasure to hear his strong bop drumming here. 

 

And the Afro-Cubop is one of my favourite latin records. Howard McGhee and Brew Moore in top form......

It does, doesn't it?!?!   First Rays is probably the single most convincing posthumous Hendrix release, imo.

Yes, and this new all analog 2 LP release is the best it's sounded yet.

Prince Lasha with Bobby Hutcherson, Buster Williams and Charles Moffett. Sound of this (bootleg) reissue really sucks. Anyone knows how the original sound?

[mjazzg]

I have an original and never noticed it's poor but it's been a while since I listened to it.
