Chuck Nessa Posted March 20, 2003 Report Share Posted March 20, 2003 I think everyone charges $75 or more, plus shipping. Drimala has a deal when you order 4 items you get a 15% discount. My direct price is $75 + 4.00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted March 20, 2003 Report Share Posted March 20, 2003 Can't neglect Coltrane's "Ascension", which I've been listening to more often lately. Great shout Jad! I'd totally forgotten about that , in fact i'm surprised it doesn't get mentioned more on this (and ex) boards. I certainly got value for money with this one , i got it a couple of years ago - it took a couple of months of regular listening before i could work out what was going on - then it just clicked . I play it regularly still - but have to be in the right mood . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jad Posted March 21, 2003 Report Share Posted March 21, 2003 (edited) Yeah, it took a long time for this one to set in. I had to focus in on Elvin Jones. The man was UNSTOPPABLE! His playing was always one of my favorite things in Coltrane's music. Edited March 22, 2003 by Jad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AfricaBrass Posted March 21, 2003 Report Share Posted March 21, 2003 It's funny, the second jazz cd I ever bought was Coltrane's Om. I didn't know what to think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzmoose Posted March 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2003 I remember trying to play a dirty trick on my "new" stepmother...I was playing "Time Out" and she was going on about how much she loved hearing a saxophone, so I put on Expression. Hahahaha... problem is, she loved it. Can you believe it??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alon Marcus Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 In the last year I was going through a similar process of discovering this music. "The Freedom Principle" is an essential book, there should be a thread devoted to it. I was just wondering how Jazzmoose feels about the music right now a year and a half after starting the thread. Did you change your mind about Ornette and Don Cherry? I do like the early "Atlantic" small groups and "Complete Communion". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alon Marcus Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 New York is Now This is one of Ornette's best, I was turned on Broadway Blues long before I started listening to his music. This track appears on a Blue Note collection of 5 tapes (now it became larger and was expanded to cd's). Great album to start liking Ornette (but only if you are destined to like his music) except for the last track "We now interrupt for a commercial" which for me can only serve as a comic relief after an intensive album. It has Dewey Redman, Jimmy Garison and Elvin Jones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregK Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Thanks for this thread, Mr Moose. I've used some of these recommendations-today I picked up Archie Shepp 4 for Trane, and Poem for Malcolm and two more Art Ensemble discs-Message to our Folks and Reese and the Small Ones (both are very fine!!). I need to find the ECM discs now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzmoose Posted February 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 I was just wondering how Jazzmoose feels about the music right now a year and a half after starting the thread. Did you change your mind about Ornette and Don Cherry? I do like the early "Atlantic" small groups and "Complete Communion". Oh yeah, Ornette finally 'clicked'; thanks to my wife I've had the Beauty is a Rare Thing box for a little over a year. Wow, this is really a trip seeing this thread now, and thinking about all the new music I've tried since it started. A lot of new-to-me artists have shown up on my shelves since then; those who appear in multiple disc quantities include Fred Anderson, The Art Ensemble, Albert Ayler, Peter Brotzmann, Ornette, Roscoe Mitchell, Joe McPhee (who until recently sat on my shelves unheard...what a mistake!) and Ken Vandermark (who I like more than most here, apparently). More is on the way. It's overwhelming in many ways, but the excitement of discovery is still there. I know one thing; I sure wish I'd been into jazz back in '79 when I lived near Chicago...

Jazzmoose Posted February 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 One addition to the thread; I'll have to throw my two cents worth in on the AEC recommendations. If I had to pick one to recommend, I'd go with Fanfare for the Warriors myself. But then who's gonna stop with one anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic1 Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 This thread makes me want to go back and listen to stuff I haven't heard in a while. I just browsed quickly but did anyone mention Anthony Braxton? There is a giant heap of music there to check out and not all of it is just free blowin' sessions (not that I mind free blowin' sessions). Did you get the Ayler box set that is newly out? That is some amazing stuff! Also check out Tony Williams album Lifetime (not the band) on blue note-especially the first tune is a quieter out piece. Some other recs: Frank Lowe: Black Beings John Zorn: Masada live in Sevilla 2000 Lennie Tristano: intuition (the earliest recorded free jazz I know of, I think already mentioned) Usually his stuff is pretty in, I wanted to make sure you got THIS particular album. The Chronological Classics Lennie Tristano 1947-1951 also has those free jazz recordings. Charles Gayle: Touchin on Trane Clifford Thornton: Freedom and Unity (find at Atavistic.com) Joe Morris: start with Underthru. He is a kind of "in" sounding out musician. Very smart music! Willem Breuker Kollektief In Holland (find this at Cadence records) The Ganelin Trio: russian free jazz. Try Con Affetto Joseph McPhee: Nation Time Manfred Schoof: European Echos If you need help finding any of this stuff ask me I will send you in the right place. If you want more recs. I can spew recs all day long! Jared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
