So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

[Rabshakeh]

I like the idea of opposing sides: Chick, Herbie or ECM.  

I certainly knew ECM only fans as a youth, but that was the 1990s and by then ECM was a different beast altogether.

The high noon of ECM was also in the late 70´s . 

"We" were that gang that listened to more hard driving or hard funky stuff, Bird Diz Monk, Messengers from the oldies, VSOP from neo bop acoustic, Electric Miles and Ornette´s Prime Time, and there was another group, more the first "alternative thinking" folks with more medidation or so, who loved only ECM, Jan Garbarek, Eberhard Weber and so on. This was two different worlds.

Gil Evans – Svengali

Bill Harper / David Sanborn right in the front row.

The version of Harper's "Cry of Hunger" on this, with both of them soloing over tight orchestration, may be one of my favourite jazz tunes of the 70s.

Stefon Harris "Black Action Figure" Blue Note cd

Starting the day off with a recording that has it all. . . horns, quartet, swing, funk, introspective rumination.

I did not like Chick or Herbie's fusion things, nor did I like (with just a very few exceptions) the ECM recordings

Nice cover design. Bet the music's pretty special too.

I have so many recordings by both of them individually and a couple together that I'm not sure I need another but...
