Today started off with Joe Lovano 
"Tenor Legacy" Blue Note cd. Nice date with Joshua Redman sharing the front line.

Then on to an earlier Blue Note, Lee Morgan "The Cooker" on TOCJ 20 bit cd from Japan.

One helluva band with Pepper Adams, Bobby Timmons, Paul Chambers and Philly Joe Jones.

Now onto another Blue Note date (though sort of a ringer) Kenny Clarke/Francy Boland and Company "The Golden 8" Japanese Blue Note cd

It's been too long since I spun some Clarke/Boland stuff. I love the big and the small units.

Last one for the morning. Off to see my Dad. His C-Diff is back again. Sigh. Life sucks sometimes. Music is a great comfort.

Actually Disc III, the Amsterdam Concert. 

I must admit one thing: One of the first records I had in my teenage days was the Paris Concert. 

I enjoy the Amsterdam stuff but I must admit that the Paris material is much stronger. 

And maybe it´s my fault, but I don´t really enjoy Johnny Coles´ trumpet that much. Somehow, he has a very thin tone and does not really fit into the unit of that most powerful giants like Dolphy, Jordan, Jakie Byard. 

But maybe he was very sick, since he collapsed on stage in Paris, so the Paris material was only the quintet without Coles. 

And the Amsterdam concert is not very well recorded, it´s much better sound quality on the Paris concert. 

Somehow, the "drive" is much more powerful in Paris.....

I like that one, a lot

It's a bit different to his other early ones, which tend to be more composed for want of a better word. To me, this record has the same appeal as classic 70s Braxton.

Now moved in to Leroy Jenkins' The Legend of Ai Glatson (Black Saint, 1978).

I reckon this might be the purest jazz violin (jazz fiddle?) record out there. I can think of lots of great jazz records with prominent violin solos or even lead violinist / composers (Billy Bang!), but it's hard to think of one where the pure improvisatory potential of a instrument is as central as on this record.

Ha, I am in complete disagreement on this one. I think Jenkins is really a mediocre violin player and a bad improvisor. Ugly tone, no dynamics, a lot of repetitive licks, no development in solos. Monotone.

As far as jazz violin is concerned that's the one for me:

Or in free improvisation realm:

I half agree. I never liked Revolutionary Ensemble or CCC much, and I would say that I don't really like Leroy Jenkins much overall.  That album though really hits me hard.
