jeffcrom Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) Cecil Taylor in Berlin '88 (FMP) - Remembrance, CT & Louis Moholo This is one of my favorite box sets, bought for 200 bucks in 1989, when it was issued. That was a huge sum for me at the time. It goes without saying that it was worth it. Later: What a beautiful performance. You'd think a Taylor/Moholo duet would be unrelentingly aggressive, but there's so much variety of dynamics and texture here.

JohnS Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) Murray's Steps Probably my favourite of the Soul Note/Black Saint Octets. Edited February 13, 2012 by JohnS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Two discs in (I wonder why the earliest album is grouped as #2?), it sounds like my ears will need several listens to get attuned to this... synths, electric bass, lots of flute... not that anything about it is bad, not at all, but the overall sound isn't what I usually prefer.

jeffcrom Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Cecil Taylor in Berlin '88 (FMP) Tonight, The Hearth, with Evan Parker and Tristan Honsinger. This is one of the relatively few recordings on which Taylor doesn't completely dominate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AfricaBrass Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 I love that Coltrane set! When I go to bed, I always listen to jazz. The last few nights I've been listening to Monk's Prestige recordings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffcrom Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Louis Armstrong and the Blues Singers 1924-1930 (Affinity). This is some of my favorite music; I sometimes think that I like these recordings more than the Hot Fives. Right now I'm listening to disc 3, with Trixie Smith, Clara Smith, Bessie Smith, and the great vaudeville team of Coot Grant and Kid Sox Wilson.

jeffcrom Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 John Coltrane - The Heavyweight Champion (Rhino/Atlantic). When I listen to this set, I usually program tracks to duplicate one of the original albums, but tonight I'm spinning disc four as is.

jeffcrom Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Ornette Coleman - Beauty is a Rare Thing (Rhino/Atlantic); The Shape of Jazz to Come, programmed from disc one, plus the extra tunes from the same session. I bought this set the day it was released. I wrote a saxophone quartet arrangement of "Peace" today. It might suck; I'll find out at rehearsal Friday, I guess. Charlie Parker - The Complete Dial Recordings (Stash); the session with J.J. Johnson on disc four. The master take of "Crazeology" is one of my half-dozen favorite Bird recordings.
