How do you find that? I walked out of the Barbican gig of that tour, self-indulgent mood music and I say that as someone that has another Garbarek gig as one of my most memorable ever

I’m with you. Once of those “returns to real jazz” that make you wish that the artist just hadn’t. It just sounds like a guy wandering around pointing his soprano about without much form or thought over forgettable compositions.

Primary

Miles Davis "Bitches Brew" Sony SICP 30267~8 Blu-Spec CD2, disc 2

 

I don´t know this edition but Bitches Brew was still almost brand new when I was a kid and a fan of Miles. 
I remember there was only two tunes I didn´t like: It was the tune titled "John McLaughlin" that quite bored me a bit, and I thing there was another tune at the end called "Feia" or "Feira" or something like that, and though written by no one less than Wayne Shorter, it doesn´t mean anything to me. Not melodical, not rhytmical, but maybe those two tunes just isn´t my taste. I fell in love from first listening with "Voodoo", "Pharoah´s Dance" and the title tune and everything, even "Sanctuary". It was fresh music then, though at my listening time 1973 Miles had moved further with electrical jazz and the 1973 performance here in Viena really was something..... all that Al Foster, Michael Henderson and the wonderful Dave Liebman.....

My favourite Ornette Coleman platter ....

Interesting that I heard it much later than other albums. 

I was eager to learn the music of O.C. and my first album was the "Empty Foxhole" on BN and "Crisis" on Impulse. 
I think I heard THIS album much later and was astonished how conservative it is, it´s actually all through straight ahead swinging....., Even the key album "Free Jazz" is more a straight ahead thing......

Anyway all that was from the past when O.C. performed in my key years, the 70´s . Like Miles he had went electric, but Prime Time really was some fine stuff, and also a kind of "double quartet" with two guitars, two basses and two drummers.....
