Gheorghe Posted May 3 Report Share Posted May 3 17 hours ago, Jazzmonkie said: On CD. Sound quality is better than I expected for live Sun Ra. From what year is this? I got acquainted with the music of Sun Ra very early, let´s say even before I knew much about earlier jazz stiles like bop. It was there, it was happenin, and my first Sun Ra album was the ESP "Nothing Is" that I got second hand from a girl who emegrated to Brazilia. Sun Ra and a lotta other stuff that´s hot, like early electric Miles, Pharoah Sanders, Alice Coltrane and so on, that was my start for jazz. I heard Sun Ra live in the late 70´s until around 80 with Gilmore and Allen in the band and June Tyson singin´. That´s where I first heard older jazz forms like Fletcher Henderson´s "Yeah Man" or similar stuff, as well as the more usual space age free jazz and space chants.....

jazzbo Posted May 3 Report Share Posted May 3 Starting a cool morning off with another interesting session Tom Harrell participated in, with a sort of Spanish tinge of Weather Report like fusion, led by guitarist Torres.

HutchFan Posted May 3 Report Share Posted May 3 (edited) Al Di Meola - Soaring Through a Dream (Manhattan, 1985) Al Di Meola – acoustic guitar, electric guitar, classical guitar, Synclavier guitar Phil Markowitz – Steinway grand piano, synthesizers Chip Jackson – electric bass, acoustic bass Danny Gottlieb – drums Airto Moreira – percussion, vocals This is one of my favorite jazz records of the 1980s. I bought it when it first came out, during my junior year in high school, when I was first diving into jazz. I must've listened to it a thousand times. (I literally wore out the LP.) . . . It's an atypical Di Meola album, much less jazz-rock fusion, much more dreamy & Brazilian. That's largely due to Airto, who brings his usual soulful brilliance, both as a vocalist and percussionist. Fair warning: Like many 80s jazz albums, Soaring Through a Dream is very synth heavy. But unlike many 80s jazz albums, the synths really work well here. They add to the gauzy, otherworldly aspects of the music; they actually open up musical avenues, rather than sounding like nifty gizmos that are added on as technological afterthoughts. That said, as much as this music in engrained in my brain, it's likely impossible for me to hear it like most folks do. So, there's that.

HutchFan Posted May 3 Report Share Posted May 3 The Albert Mangelsdorff Quartet - Never Let It End (MPS, 1971) with Heinz Sauer (ts, as), Günter Lenz (b), and Ralf Hübner (d) Brilliant band. Brilliant album. If MPS ever reissued this on vinyl, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Bresnahan Posted May 3 Report Share Posted May 3 Tommy Flanagan - Positive Intensity (Sony/Japan). Tommy with Ron Cater & Roy Haynes from 1977. Nicely done if a bit too brightly presented on the Japanese CD I found in a used bin yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted May 3 Author Report Share Posted May 3 Kinda the Postcards All-Stars here. It was a nifty label. "Dated" in the sense of technology. "Derivative" in that it sometimes sounds like if Wayne and Joe never got into popular rhythms and such. Pleasant listening, and with the players on hand to move it ahead. Fun listen!
