A overly ambitious failure would be too cruel. Maybe less than the sum of its parts. It's certainly listenable but left me wanting more.

Most everyone from current London scene in a studio for a few days interpreting or being inspired by original BB

Thanks. I may will give it a taster.

East German trombone quartet. Slightly jazz funk and slightly free jazz. Very gritty. I really enjoyed it on my first listen. Easily streamed.

I'm the same with Amiga.

Gave it a listen. Pleasant enough but it misses the original by quite a way. It is anything but innovative.

Yes, I've been listening to all these Rollins sessions from this wonderful box set.  I appreciate the music even more now as I read the new Sonny bio.

Now playing:

The sound of tiny cymbals and vibes on this one reminds me of a joke back in the day that when the MJQ played at Newport small boys rolled empty drinks cans down the stone steps. 😄

But they did attract enormous audiences. People who wouldn't be seen dead at a jazz gig (except one with Dave Brubeck) flocked in droves to hear them, which I suppose is why I never went. 🙁
