Yes, it's great isn't it. Stenson's so good as the piano shouldn't really fit into the music.

Agreed.  But Stenson makes it work somehow.

I've been after it for years (saw Temiz in the 90s) and it popped up on a dealer's list the other day.

I've had an eye out for it too -- but I still haven't found a copy that's in my price range.

Seems like there aren't many copies out there, particularly here in N. America.

It's definitely worth it if you do find one

Today's playlist

SML - Small Medium Large [International Anthem, US 2024]

Laurel Halo - Atlas [Awe, US 2023]

Anthony Braxton - Creative Orchestra Music 1976 [Arista, US 1976]

Okay Temiz Trio - Turkish Folk Jazz [Sonet, UK 1975]

no Stenson on this @HutchFan but I think it's the better album of the two that arrived recently

O.K.! 

I had no idea this album existed.  Will check it out . . .  hopefully, it's on YouTube or some other streaming platform.

 

EDIT
Yep, here it is:

Be interested to hear what you make of it.  It's obviously sparser being a trio and I think the clarinet playing is pretty special.  In those sleeve notes it mentions that he was well taken by Coltrane's 'Om'!

Brotzmann/Van Hove/Bennink - Balls [FMP, Germany 1977 RE]

[HutchFan]

Now spinning:

Good fun.

I'll definitely give it a listen.

That's also on my to-get list!   

Did someone reissue it recently?

 

[sidewinder]

Bobby Hutcherson 'Total Eclipse' in the Tone Poet version.

It will be interesting to compare it with the Liberty issue.

Edited to say that this version sounds pretty excellent to me. Certainly a step of two up from the DMM version I bought in the mid 80s. The gatefold colour pictures of Bobby and co. are great too.

It's great. Mine's the first reissue from 1977

The most recent reissue appears to have been this from a while ago

I have the second 70s pressing, not silkscreened but early labels. No poster. It is a fascinating album.

[sidewinder]

Horace Silver Quintet 'Silver's Serenade' (Tone Poet)

Outstanding - this stereo version compares very favourably with my mono NY pressing. Might even be better !

[HutchFan]

Now on my 'table:

Illinois Jacquet - How High the Moon (Prestige, 2 LPs)

Ladies & Gentlemen - Make no mistake: Listening to Illinois Jacquet will make you feel GOOD.  No matter the symptom, he's got the Rx for what ails ya.

 

 

Earlier:

Valerie Simpson !!!

 

[HutchFan]

More Illinois Jacquet:

The Cool Rage (Verve, 2 LPs)

 

[Rabshakeh]

Miles Davis - Bag's Groove

[sidewinder]

Joe Pass 'For Django'. Another very good Tone Poet LP from the 20% off sale.

I don't think "Balls" ever came with a poster.

No matter, it is indeed a great record.

Next up:

The Dynamic Hampton Hawes (MPS, rec. 11/1967)
with Eberhard Weber (b) & Klaus Weiss (d); originally released as Hamp's Piano

Stupendous.  One of the finest albums in Hawes' entire discography, IMO.

 

[mjazzg]

Spontaneous Music Ensemble - Karyobin, are imaginary birds said to live in paradise [Island Records, UK 1968]

Finally, a near perfect copy. Such extraordinary music. I'm so pleased to have this original.

[mjazzg]

Now onto another big want fulfilled

Huey Simmons - Burning Spirits [Contemporary Records, France 1971]

There's some sort of poster or flyer with the 200 copy version as per 'scogs, though that could've just been with the copy someone uploaded.
