I love it, wonderful compositions. The first tune "The Thespian" is so beautiful with that intro with Chambers on arco, and then the fast theme.

All tunes are great. That latin tune "Olé " is a real earworm, you don´t get it out of your head and I remember when I first heard it after I bought the CD, I jumped to the piano and did it. So easy and natural changes.... a dancer might dance to it, a player has the urge to play it....

I very much hope so, I'd snap it up in a trice, lovely album. Souffle Continu seem to be working on the Palm catalogue.

It's the one that pops into my head when I think of albums I'd want reissued, second only to By Myself, especially now that Black Unity Ensemble is done though. 

Anyway, currently on:

Paul Motion Trio - Dance (ECM, 1977)

Some excellent Charles Brackeen.

You would not know it from looking at the cover, but Benny Goodman plays on many tracks. 

Wow.  I am entirely unfamiliar with Long Way Home-I need to listen to this.  I was enjoying this one today:

Likely even bettered by "Le Voyage" with Jean-Francois Jenny-Clark on bass ......

Jan Garbarek - Eventyr (ECM, 1981)

Now that the 90s/00s and ECM's era of commercial dominance with associated lifestyle associations is long gone, I've been checking out Jan Garbarek a bit more. I'm finding that some I like whereas others I don't, of which latter category this is probably an example. Garbarek just seems to play through the other musicians as if he can't hear them. That's something that other musicians do without necessarily grating (Ornette Coleman, for example) but here it gets to me.
