Do you know The Mysterious Corona? Another excellent one from the same period and in a similar vein.

I do but I don't like it as much, nor it's prices...

That's a great one indeed, I discovered it on a @felser BFT and I'm forever grateful for that every time I play it

1969 recording session with Barre Philips on bass and Philly Joe Jones on drums. This was intended to be released by BYG that very year but was released by Affinity in 1984. It’s a great session with some intense en percussive playing by the whole band.

Mal playing with some excellent European sidemen. Henk Haverhoek on bass and Pierre Courbois on drums.

As so often Mal Waldron gets out the best of his sideman ....

Such a shame about that uninspired cover (as is often the case with this label). Just imagine this record with a classic BYG/Actuel gatefold.

Palle Mikkelborg - Ashoka Suite [Metronome, Denmark 1970]

It's taken a while to track this down but I'm very pleased I have.  A while ago I started a thread about trombone and vibes front lines, this has four trombones with its vibes!

had the Ashoka Suite at one point and sold it (condition issues). Would not mind having it back.

John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman

That means we are two ! 

I only have one album of "Sphere", and my fave on it is Buster Williams, who anyway is one of my favourites.

Until I got the best of the Austrian bassists and drummers to play with, I still had it in my head that if I could have those "three wishes" , one might be "to have Buster Williams and Al Foster play with me".....

How is this other Sphere Album. Also Monk originals ?

Unlike the first Sphere LP, this second album features compositions by the band members.

Back to this Herbie Nichols LP:

[Teasing the Korean]

Les Baxter - Cry of the Banshee (Citadel, rechanneled stereo)

[HutchFan]

This album keeps making its way back to my turntable:

Bob Florence Big Band - Live at Concerts By The Sea (Trend, 1980)

It's a grower.

 

[Teasing the Korean]

Andre Previn - Dead Ringer OST (WB, mono)

With its combination of dissonant, 20th century symphonic composition and use of the harpsichord, this is as close as I've found to Night Gallery music.
