I really enjoy it. Then again I am a huge fan of Kenny's playing. Song For Abdullah is the standout track for me. Third Eyes is also very good. Kenny is on fire on this particular track.

Fair enough ....

A playlist of the first 20 years of ECM. About 200 albums in all. I think these were the greatest ECM years with a lot of classic, beautiful albums. And, for the most part, a lot more distinctive than the last 30 years. Albums from these artists:

Arild Andersen, Bass Desires, Bennie Maupin, Bill Connors, Bill Frisell, Carla Bley, Chick Corea, Collin Walcott, Dave Holland, Dave Liebman, Eberhard Weber, Egberto Gismonti, Enrico Rava, Gary Burton, Jack DeJohnette, Jan Garbarek, John Abercrombie, John Surman, Keith Jarrett, Kenny Wheeler, Miroslav Vitous, Pat Metheny, Paul Bley, Ralph Towner, Steve Kuhn, Steve Tibbitts, and Terje Rypdal.

An amazing body of work.

OK -- I need to listen again from this point on.

I listened to "Great Friends" again, this time  back to front. Mix is still off in several weird ways I can't quite describe -- never heard so much variance before thataways on an album on a track to track basis, with all tracks seemingly from a single recording session -- but this time through the considerable virtues of the music are a good deal more apparent for me. Thanks for jogging my elbow.

I agree. I've really enjoyed Scratch for a long time.

Jimi Hendrix "Songs for Groovy Children" box set of 69/70 New Year's shows released Friday.  Disc 2.

Yes, they edited out stuff. Yes, there's a handful of tracks omitted. But hell yeah, after decades these are officially out there and for about 45 bucks. As "Band of Gypsys" is my favorite Hendrix, this is a real joy!

Great 1962 performace by Bud. And recommanded to those who always say that Bud in the later years had lost much of his tehnical skills. This is top Bud Powell, period.

Great selection of bop standards and moving ballads. 

The two bonus tracks Bud-Griffin duo have already been issued on the Xanadu album "Bud in Paris". And as on the Xanadu LP, also here the recording years is wrong. The two tunes with Griffin in Paudras´ home were not done in 1960, but in 1964. In 1960 Griffin was not in Paris, and Bud had not started to be recorded in Paudras´ home. This was much later.
