Steve Lacy - Prospectus This was such a strong period and those Hats are absolutely stunning. This one’s with Steve Potts, George Lewis, Bobby Few, Jean Jacques Avanel and Oliver Johnson. Plus Irene Aebi who’s singing I still don’t enjoy where I do dig her cello playing. Essential Lacy: powerful, very energetic and complex music with all those awesome Steve Lacy compositions. Great interaction between all band members too. Plus the sound of these Hats is amazing. This was reissued as Cliches on cd but that misses three tracks the LP version does contain. Weird choice to omit tracks on a reissue. It’s mostly the other way around.

Hearing Tapscott play Equinox is a lovely experience. Not the best one of the series but it’s very good.

I don’t have any but for what I’ve heard they are mostly good.

Yeah is see what you mean. I dived into the ECM disco on Spotify a few months ago listening to albums that were rated highly on RYM. Lots of those more unknown Scandinavian names. I didn’t run into any records that I truly disliked but also not into one I wanted to listen to again. Well just one record by guitarist Jakob Bro. The only Tord Gustavsen I like is with singer Simin Tander. I like it more for here presence than for Tords who I find a pretty dull pianist to be honest.

these two will keep me busy the coming time I think

Excellent pick 😍 Nicolas Simion plays some excellent tenor here!

Yeah the MU records are great. Essential Don (and Blackwell of course ) enjoy!

Yeah that whole period is my favorite Don Cherry. The Blue Notes plus the ESP's and the BYG. Lovely side appereances with Albert Heath on Kawaida en with Clifford Jordan on 'In the World'. Mostly recorded between 1965 and 1970.

this is one highly enjoyable record. Early Hutch is always nice to hear but the whole band kicks ass!

Haha it was hard. So many interesting and rare records. That Jefferson is on my radar! Your recommendation brings back my memory: I saw it a few months ago on the Sam website and it sparked my interest No Cecil Taylor on that one it’s actually Jimmy Lyons and Sunny Murray with John Lindberg on bass. Intense and highly recommended music!

Saved up monthly for the big record fair in Den Bosch and I did manage to pick up some great records. Prices seem to get a little more reasonable too. These items were all on my 64 piece wantlist so I felt very lucky. And I didn’t make even one impulsive buy. The discipline of me. I’m getting better at these things.

This might be the best sounding recording I have. It’s the Tone Poet version. The clarity, detail, seperation: it’s amazing. Plus this is one hell of a record. My number one Chick for sure

It’s great. This is one of the best of the series so far (5 more to listen to) Up till now none of the releases in these series has disappointed but it’s a lot of music to digest. RYM gives a pretty accurate rating of the separate releases so you could use that to decide which volume you might pick if you don’t want all the volumes.

Great buys and yes it does. I did not hold high expectations from a relatively small French 70’s label but it sounds great!

It was recorded in the 00’s right?

Already mentioned here Its on my to listen to list in Spotify
