A very interesting record, but I think that in this combination each of those three giants comes a bit too short. 

I have heard this music in various forms over the years. In fact, I'm pretty sure I owned it on CD at least once. But I found an inexpensive used Japanese CD in my local record store so I thought I'd give it another listen. It's been a while since I've heard it.

In what way?

Somehow Mingus and Max are not always "Hand in Glove" like I had expected. And as much as I love Ellington´s compositions, I fear I like it more if it´s  played by other pianists. I had similar problems when listening to the "Duke and Trane" thing. But music is something so great that I like to state that it could be my own fault if it didn´t get as much to me as it should be supposed.

First out of two batches from Japan plus Khan Jamal’s Drum Dance to the Motherland that I picked up from a local seller. These arrived from Discogs seller Ella records. Very satisfied as usual: well packed and fair prices. Not like European or USA sellers that ask +30 E above the median price. 

C51-A48-B4-E249-46-A4-B7-A9-D4-D40-BDDE5

And what I like most is there sincerity in grading. This Meditations sleeve got rated VG. With most EU sellers these days that means bent corners, edgewear, a cut out plus some ringwear. Now this is what VG looks like according to this Japanese seller :)

The Traveller is great, you'll enjoy it I'm sure.

I have 20+Hampels but not that one...got me thinking. Sure it'll be good too

I'm looking forward to hearing them!  :) 

Just curious:  Among the Gunter Hampel albums in your collection, which two or three (or four) are your favorites?  I'm only just now getting started collecting his music, and I have no idea which ones are the most highly regarded.

Tough call but without overthinking it, here's six, couldn't get it any lower 😀

'8th July 1969'

'Wellen Waves- Berlin Soloflight' 

'Oasis' duet w. Jeanne Lee 

'That Come On Down' 

'People Symphony' 

'Heartplants' very early but very good

That being said I haven't been disappointed in any I've bought. I will be very interested to hear what you make of your imminent arrival.
