I'm really bummed out that Wallace retired before I got the chance to see him perform. I almost went to see him in CT but had to back out at the last minute. It turns out that was one of his last live gigs.

Sorry to hear that he's retired.  I didn't know that. 

At least we have the records.  ;)

Ornette Coleman – The Shape Of Jazz To Come

PXL_20240814_070449634.jpg

I think to an extent that first track dominates my own understanding of the record too. During the CD and MP3 age, which is when I was listening to the record most, the temptation to change midway through the second track was always quite strong. Yesterday I was really struck by how much more I enjoyed the whole record on LP.

Shape of Jazz to come is a very fine early Coleman Album, it is still swinging and very easy to acces for people who still have to learn to make the transition from tonal and straight ahead to more steps beyond certain bounderies. 

It´s interesting, that one of the tracks "Lonely Woman" was a favourite of my mother. Born 1921 in Europe it might have been quite unusual for an old women to listen what though now is "old", then was "modern". 

She had her things she loved and spinned over and over again: Mingus´ "Meditation on Integration" with Dolphy, "Pharoah Sander Healing Song" and Ornette Coleman the "Lonely Woman" or one certain harmolodic theme that was on an Impulse Album and later was with string quartet.....i think "Prime Design Time Design"......

Wow. An original?

Yep. VG+, couple of ticks here and there, may well clean up. Cover is showing its age, same as me. Great music

Was that from Atlantis? 

It's a great record. I'm very jealous.

Yep, Atlantis. They got it in a couple of weeks ago and I showed restraint and common sense then but yesterday thought "sod it, won't see one of them again if it's still there I'm having it". Sometimes you just have to...

The Hi-Lo's Happen to Bossa Nova - (Reprise, mono promo)

I think this is one of their more underrated records. One of my biggest problems with the Hi Los is that their music doesn't have much place for rhythm. At least this one has to deal with a beat. Perhaps it leads to a dilution of their sound, but to my ears it is an overall improvement.

This is also one of their most restrained albums in terms of vocal arrangements.   Which can be a good or bad thing, depending on your mood.
