Yes indeed.

 

This was my first Wayne Shorter album when I was a teenager. It´s still a favourite of mine. A wonderful thing.

John Surman - Upon Reflection (ECM, 1979)

More Pachelbel than Bird, at times.

I agree 100%.

Cal Tjader "Monterey Concerts" OJC cd.

These would have been exciting performances to experience live at the Festivals!

"Schizophrenia" is one of my favorite Shorter LPs too. I love the first track, "Tom Thumb". I sometimes play that track on repeat a couple of times when I do play the album.

Joe Farnsworth, City of Sounds (Smoke Sessions)

[HutchFan]

One of my top discoveries of 2021. Even tho' it came out in 1996, it was new to me. 

Sylvester's sound reminds me a bit of Arthur Blythe's, without being derivative. They just have a similar sort of pungency. 

IMO, the best cuts are the ones with percussionist Bobby Sanabria sitting in. 

If you'd like a taste:

I still think that's a lousy cover photo. I wonder if Joe picked it himself? He's doesn't look like he's digging the sun in his eyes. Maybe Joe got a kick out if it?

Good CD though. Everyone plays well.

Definitely on my Ogun want list. I see it is back in print.

That cover design always reminds me of ‘Agharta’.

Joe Farnsworth can make almost any date a good one. I love to see Joe on the stage. He has never disappointed me.

I just bought the reissue [Frames by Keith Tippett's Ark]. Arrived at my US dealer Nov. 15. Lots of Ogun reissues these days!
