I remember the exitement we all, who had purchase Agartha when it came out, had then some insiders told us about Pangaea. It was on Sony CBS Japan, like "Dark Magus" and just great. 

Agharta was the first jazz album to really make an impact on me, and also the first album I ever really listened to on vinyl. A random discovery in a school library audio visual department. The next day I came back and tried out Heliocentric Worlds Vol 2 on a whim. Through the years most of my old favourites have often receded, but I still feel excited just thinking of those two. Pangaea has always been in Agharta's shade though for me, so this was a fairly rare listen.

I'm glad to hear that you liked them at the time. I had always understood them to be... contraversial.

Excellent Brazilian jazz from Milton Nascimento's long-time drummer.

You've been playing this a lot recently. Looks worth a go.

At some point...a consideration should be made of Chicagoans Andrew Hill and Sun Ra having meaningful musical interactions along the way. Not as a question of one "influencing" the other, but more as two kindred spirits finding much to discuss and exchange, both compositionally and pianistically.

Re-listening this morning to this half of the Rushing cd. What a band, and Jimmy is having fun.

It's been some time since I have played this one and I wanted to hear the lush strings reproduced so well here.

This was the first work I heard from Ms Possi. . . and it made me a fan!

Not to my taste. This made it clear that Bunky Green is not a jazz alto saxophone whose  playing I find of interest.
