I love Clifford Jordan ! 

Okay, first I had heard him only on record. That was actually my second to first jazz album at all when I was a kid "The Great Concert of Charles Mingus" from Paris 1964, and I still did not know any of the musicians with the exception of Mingus and Dolphy, but imediatly liked Clifford Jordan. Later I heard them in Europe with Cedar Walton, it must have been in the mid 70´s, anyway after 73, 73 was my first year of jazz and my first concert was Miles. And soon after that Mingus....so I was "hooked" for ever !

Sounds like something I might like. Oh.....Beaver Harris 😄 Buster Williams 😄 

I saw Larry Coryell only once but liked it very much. It was shortly after he had recorded with Sonny Rollins ("Don´t Ask!") 

[clifford_thornton]

interesting band. Never saw that record (knowingly) before.

The Coryells I have are on Flying Dutchman and Vanguard, and I enjoy them to varying degrees (good to very good). Never saw him live, unfortunately.

He did at least one more for Muse.

Benny Carter, A Gentleman and His Music (Concord)

This is one of my favourite post 1980 Miles Davis albums and has a special meaning to me: 

It´s definitly "Night Music"....I have to listen to late in the night, if I have a certain mood, a kind of "state of grace" or a semi trance.....and it´s beautiful, BEAUTIFUL !!!

I heard it in late 1987 the first time. I never forget that night. A few hours before, my first son was born, I was there when he was born....and when I finally got back home....this was the first time I heard that great music and never will forget that moment.

Yesterday I had a long drive thru the night, not a highway drive, it was just "drum național” thru the country and I had that wonderful feelings, that deep feeling of purest love because I got the most beautiful girl I ever saw..... and again..... that music on the USB in my car. 

It may be a sacrilege from the point of view of the elder generation, but I prefer this kind of "Spanish Feeling" to "Scetches of Spain", maybe it´s a question of generation, but as great as Miles´ trumpet is and as much I love the theme of Concierto de Aranjuez, nevertheless I never really could get warm with the Gil Evans sound, it sounds a bit to western classical music, to "serious" for my tastes maybe, too little emotion for my restless soul... my fault, no question, but I am more towards sounds like that, and Markus Miller did a great job on it. 

And Miles.....who says that his playing after his comeback was weaker, he has that great sound, pure genius !

I played White Rabbit by George Benson recently and also had that reaction of "this may be a version of Sketches of Spain that actually works for me", as much as I love the conventional Sketches of Spain
