Currently on: Dewey Redman - The Struggle Continues (ECM, 1982) With thanks to @Д.Д. for recommending this excellent one. Very different to Redman's free-er '70s work. Quote

Rabshakeh Posted June 15, 2021 Report Posted June 15, 2021 Oliver Lake - Holding Together (Black Saint, 1976) Michael Gregory Jackson is very good indeed on this one. Quote
JSngry Posted June 15, 2021 Author Report Posted June 15, 2021 Celeste Quartet, long familiar. The other stuff, not so much. Delights abound, not the least of which is Harry Carney at times getting downright...sexually intercoursal in his phrasing, if not his tone. People's impulses never change, but as the sensual stimuli of their environments change, so does the expressions. People can't play lise this any more without faking it, and this music is in no way fake! Quote
Rabshakeh Posted June 15, 2021 Report Posted June 15, 2021 (edited) Lee Konitz & Miles Davis / Teddy Charles & Jimmy Rainey - Ezz-Thetic (New Jazz) I am still not convinced that I understand why these sides are together on a single LP, but the first four tracks (the Konitz / Bauer ones with Davis as part of the arrangements) are so incredibly beautiful.

Plus there's always Miles Davis super-cohesive classique Conception. An album that makes even less sense. 7 minutes ago, erwbol said: I cannot believe that this is still not back in print.

JSngry Posted June 15, 2021 Author Report Posted June 15, 2021 They (Prestige) were really adept at repackaging every few years, so a kid like me could thumb the racks in , say, 1972, and not feel like i was getting some old leftover record, but instead the latest version, with current liner notes. An occasional new alternate included, or, like the Miles 12/24 session, combining what had been spread over more than one record into one. And then OJC came along an old leftover records cam back in fashion again, old leftover liner notes and split sessions and all.... Quote

The studio portion was reissued recently, but, yeah, they really need to put the live discs out there as well. Quote
Rabshakeh Posted June 15, 2021 Report Posted June 15, 2021 (edited) It's an interesting one. Some musicians' greatest works were during the 10" era. Konitz might arguably be in that bracket (depends on my mood). They're done no favours by having their early work so mangled. 2 minutes ago, erwbol said: The studio portion was reissued recently, but, yeah, they really need to put the live discs out there as well. It's good to have that at least, and available for streaming etc, but I have no idea why you would even split it like that in the first place. It is a cohesive whole. It's an absurd decision, particularly given how militant Braxton is about his work's integrity in all other ways. Edited June 15, 2021 by Rabshakeh Quote
HutchFan Posted June 15, 2021 Report Posted June 15, 2021 Tim Berne's Fractured Fairy Tales (JMT, 1989) It's so much fun to hear music that sounds like it's flying apart and coming together simultaneously. That delicious, perfectly balanced tension. Tremendous. Quote
