This was the last before bed. I snaffled it quick a few days ago with about a minute to spare, after spotting a 20% discount code for HDtracks! Very nice, and not just because I saved a few pennies...
What a fantastic trio. Allen, Haden and Motian playing with real subtlety and concentrated listening. I don't know easy this is to come by these days, because it's on DIW.
I keep coming back to this, so I think I'll have to buy some more of this period Jackie M. I never particularly liked the sound of his alto, but either the current state of my rig or my ears have negated that. Perhaps both?
Scandinavian jazz with balls. Right up there with NY free bands, but different. The more I listen to drummer Paal Nilsson-Love, the more astonishing he seems. Must try to catch him live.
Yes - Now listening to 'Sketches of Spain', which was the first 'serious' jazz album I bought after I fell in love with 'Kind of Blue'. What a shock that was....it's only just starting to make some sense. Am I right in guessing there are references to spaghetti westerns?

No. It's based on Rodrigo's Concierto di Aranjuez (sp?).
John Zorn's The Big Gundown is about spaghetti westerns, though.

Cannonball Adderley - Somethin' Else. On the big rig this time.

Disc 3, based on a cultured recommendation made a few nights ago!
Finally got around to ordering another copy today, along with their new release 'build a rocket, boys'. Playing on spotofus.
