  • Well cool names. I am humbled. @-)
  • Psychick Warriors of Gaia 'Of Biospheres and Sacred Grooves'.
    Ludicrous names; sublime music.
    You gotta be joking!  3:-O
  • Art Pepper - Living Legend
  • No. It's good stuff. :-)

    Now Kinobe 'Soundphiles'. Similarly good, though less wonderous.
  • image

    Sweet. Quite a bit of bass for this late at night though...
  • Nels Cline Singers - Studio
  • Henry Kaiser & Wadada Leo Smith - Yo Miles! Sound Garden
  • Tim Berne's Science Friction - The sublime and
  • The Murky World of Barry Adamson
  • Art Pepper - No Limit.
    Probably my favourite of hIs comeback trio albums incl Living Legend & The Trip.
  • No Limit is great, but Just about everything he made post-comeback is worth a go IMHO.

    I have a few nasty bootlegs with pick-up bands, but so what?
  • Jan Garbarek/Bobo Stenson Quartet - Witchi-Tai-To

    Garbarek in more of a jazz mode than on most of his albums. It's a good one!
  • Bill Evans Trio - Sunday at the Village Vanguard

    'nuff said. Fabulous pianisms for my mate Col ;-)
  • Miles Davis & John Coltrane - The Complete Columbia Recordings 1955-61

    Have I gone all 'classic jazz'?

    Dave you are on a slippery slope and where could it all end - Kenny Ball ???

    Tete a Tete - Art Pepper/George Cables - just Art with tinkly bits by Cables but heart-breaking ballad playing. ( think these were sadly almost the last recordings he made ).
  • I'm working at home today, avoiding that slippery slope :-)

    I have the Pepper/Cables, but haven't played it in ages. Is it to avant for my current listening, I wonder?
  • Andrew Hill - Passing Ships

    Was it @mervyn I was talking to about Hill recently? This one is a gem, anyway.

    Yes t'was I.


    Sonny meets Hawk - intriguing album where Rollins plays basically free jazz with his idol Coleman Hawkins who to his credit is not outplayed.
  • I've never heard the Rollins. I'll put it on the investigate list.
  • Soft Machine One .
    Just dropped in by chance to 'Neptunes' record shop in Rhyl and scored original copies of the first and second albums . I was only talking last night on the other forum about how sad it was Kevin Ayers had died, then found these two ( hard to find ) LP's that have been on my wants list for ages .
  • When did Kevin Ayers die?
  • Last month, 18th Feb . A few links here :

    'Why are we Sleeping' is a great track, everything I would want from that genre and period in time .
  • Thanks. I missed that news.

    I must reinvestigate him. I remember John Peel playing him back in the 70s.
  • David sanborn voyeur
    Jeff beck live at ronnie scotts
    Dianne reeves...... Great voice.........
  • Soft Machine Third . 'The Moon in June' and 'Out-bloody-rageous' . Fabulous . Now for 'Why are we sleeping' again... before I go off to do some sleeping !
  • Zoe Keating - Into the Trees
  • Syd Barrett the peel sessions
  • Syd Barrett the peel sessions
    Excellent LP , great companion to 'The Madcap Laughs' and 'Barrett'

    I'm listening to CAN 'Soon over Babaluma' . People often talk about great drummers and forget to mention Jackie Liebezeit - very poor judgement in my opinion .

    Hunky dory my favourite bowie
    Steve miller born to be blue
    Robin trower. Take what you need

    Steve miller doing jazz numbers great, wouldn't touch his other stuff,and robin trower still suffers from his hendrix comparison. Personally I think he is much more than a clone
    John klemmer hush mmmmm!!!

    Paul Motian - Le Voyage

    One of the most important albums I ever bought. I can't remember why I bought it, but it must have been in Birmingham somewhere because it was released in 1979 and it was fairly newly released when I got it, and suddenly realms of jazz that I hadn't made sense of came into focus.

    It still sounds fantastic musically and recording-wise today.
  • Paul Bley - Not Two. Not One

    Pauls Bley and Motian with Gary Peacock.

    Cerebral music with a fantastic visceral kick. This album should be better known.

    Washboard Sam.
    We Gonna Move (1937).

    If they're still makin' 'em like this, I ain't hearing 'em! No sir.
  • Charles Brackeen Quartet - Attainment
  • Sheila Chandra - ABoneCroneDrone
  • Paul Motian/Bill Frisell/Joe Lovano - Motian in Tokyo

    It doesn't get better than this!
  • Paul Motian - Le Voyage

    ECM label again ... as per Terje Rypdal . Interesting, will try to get a copy .

  • Yeah. I have a lot of ECM.
  • Continuing with my Paul Motian week...

    Bill McHenry Quartet - featuring Paul Motian
  • The Crusaders - Southern Comfort

    Seeing the Crusaders on a Live from Montreux broadcast sometime in my early- to mid-teens was one of the turning points for me. Away from prog and singer-songwriters towards the deep abyss of ugly music to come :-)
  • David Sylvian - Dead Bees on a Cake

    I prefer Lemon Drizzle on mine...

    Dexter Gordon - Dexter Calling

    He's in a strange kind of cabinet thing on the cover. I wonder what that is?
  • Charles Mingus - Blues & Roots

    This was love at first listen! And it's still my favourite Mingus album, even if Ah Um is the critics' fave.

    How much would I have loved to be in the studio with this much energy in the room?
  • Richard Thompson (with Dave Swarbrick) on BBC 4. Excellent stuff.

    seems to be a farewell concert/session in honor of BBC television centre.
  • Razorlight - Slipway Fires.
  • Burning Spear - Marcus Garvey/Garvey's Ghost

    Art Pepper - Winter Moon

    Art with strings which works surprisingly well !
  • "Jazz at the Pawnshop" (vol1) just to see what all the fuss was about!
  • Amadou and Mariam - Dimanche a Bamako
  • Art Pepper - Winter Moon

    Art with strings which works surprisingly well !
    Indeed it does!
