There were some good records on that label. I have this, and maybe a few others, I think one of Bird in Washington, Bud Powell in Washington, and Dexter´s "American Classic", Woody Shaws "Master of the Art"

Oh yeah I have this, and the Howard McGhee Vol. 1 too. 

But I must admit I spinned more the first half of the CD, the McGhee. I´m not so much a guitar fan and it´s a bit too focussed on the guitar....don´t misunderstand me, I like Kenny Burell, Grant Green, but they are mostly in settings with horns and with piano, I like that more.

Siegfried Kessler, Barre Phillips and Steve McCall – Live At The "Gill's Club"

 

Siegfried Kessler was such a great pianist. I loved his playing from the first moment on. I heard him with Archie Shepp for example.

It´s strange that sometimes I read or hear that music lovers even today call that "Avantgarde" or say it´s to heavy stuff for them.

For me it isn´t even an "electric album"......well the keyboards, thats all. But it still has so much the old conception of theme-solos-theme and it is not much more advanced than "In a Silent Way". 

So it´s hard for me to follow those who tell me they find it "weird" or "far out" or who knows what.

I had heard Miles in 1973 with Liebman, Reggie Lukas, Pete Cosey, Mike Henderson, Al Foster and Mtume, that was my first Miles, and I must admit when people told me to buy Bitches Brew cause it´s the first "electric album" of Miles, I was almost disapointed first....imagine, Aghartha, Dark Magus, Pangeea still were not even recorded !

The front cover is cool too.  Like he's channeling Lon Chaney.

I play some guitar and I love jazz guitar the most, more than other guitar work in other genres. I also play some bass, and piano, and peformed as a drummer. I would love to have a piano here but have no space (as it would have to be a baby grand or a grand). . . so I play guitar more than any other instrument, and Tal Farlow's talent just astonishes me.

Well that was a brief bit of warmth, cold snap is here and the temperature will lower over the next few days. Sigh.

Starting off the morning with a different input tube in the SEWE300B and things are sounding very good. I listened again to the 10" Tal Farlow of the McGhee/Farlow disc I had finished up listening to yesterday, and now am listening to the third disc of “Classic V-Disc Big Band Jazz Sessions” Mosaic Records 10 disc set.

..... with Thad Jones and Eddie Harris!
