    "Jazz at the Pawnshop" (vol1) just to see what all the fuss was about!
    And?

    Recording quality on SACD is pretty impressive!  A little "samey" for me though with too much of what I'd describe as "plinky plonky" jazz although one or two great performances which I did enjoy.  The version of "Take 5" wasn't one of them and probably best left to Dave Brubeck!  I suspect that volume 2 is pretty much the same as vol 1 (ie if I bought it, it would all sound the same to me!).  I am a jazz phillistine, although I admit a soft spot for Earl Hines's music.

    Sonny Rollins - The Bridge

    His comeback album with Jim Hall on guitar who has never played better imho.

  • AlanAlan
    Richard Thompson (with Dave Swarbrick) on BBC 4. Excellent stuff.

    seems to be a farewell concert/session in honor of BBC television centre.
    Saw the follow up gig on Saturday with Madness - who are rapidly becoming a national treasure IMO.

    I've got a copy, but I've not listened to it.

    One of Rollins' best.

    Ornette Coleman - On Tenor

    Getting ugly Dave !!

  • uglymusicuglymusic
    Yup. Although I was talking to @Jim the other day and we agreed that Ornette isn't that ugly ;-)

    Would probably agree with that as I think his jazz is very blues based hence less ugly !
  • MervynMervyn
    Sonny Rollins - Our Man in Jazz

    A very 'free' live Sonny with Don Cherry. Wonderful.

    He's great, and quite accessible - not at all 'Ugly'. A few years back, I would have been able to countenance it, so I must be 'learning the language' a little.

    There are those of us who hear the tunes in Ornette's music. And the weirdos who don't  @-)
  • AlanAlan
    I am taken with Mervyn's comment a way back - it is bluesy.
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    Absolutely!
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    Tom Waits - Small Change
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    Ry Cooder - Chavez Ravine
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    Oliver Nelson - The Blues and the Abstract Truth

    Oliver Nelson, Eric Dolphy, Freddie Hubbard, Bill Evans, Paul Chambers and Roy Haynes. And it's almost better than the line-up suggests. 

    You should have a copy of this! And it's not in the slightest bit ugly.

    Johnny Dyani - Song For Biko

    What a loss Dyani was. I heard him once live with David Murray and Steve McCall in a hotel bar in Birmingham. I'm glad I did, although I'm only really getting to hear his genius through recordings like this.
