Man I love this period and I love this group. U-Jama 🥰 that’s one very tight rhythm section

Yeah, the last one Song for the Whale is the least interesting imo

I have always liked the Spanish music connection. But then I do love jazz crossovers with other genres. That music gets the stamp kitch pretty fast (too fast in my opinion). I really like the self titled LMO, The Ballad of the Fallen and Dream Keeper. Not only for its composition, arrangements and theme but also for the individual quality of its players. the album I never got connected to is The Escalator over the Hill.

Yeah I still remember I heard her playing the first time on his ESP work. I thought I was listening to some well known postbopper to found out it was Donald. I didn’t knew of her yet. Fantastic trumpeter.

They should make a nice twofold reissue with a cd and an LP version. Or a deluxe edition with the Prince Lasha sessions and the Burning Spirits in a boxed set

not for the faint hearted I would say….

I live in Heemskerk. That’s 30 kilometers from your place I don’t know where the other Dutchmen live but it might be a nice idea to organize a meeting, have a craft beer somewhere and talk some jazz somewhere in the future?

That’s a fantastic record!

I get you. It’s one out of thousand reasons that I am not on any social media platform.

Abdullah Ibrahim ❤️ Johnny Dyani ❤️

Niko is living in Rotterdam I believe so that’s 4 including myself

That's a great track. I love those African records and I still think they deserve a nice deluxe boxed set edition.

I was thinking the exact same thing!

Nice to read these stories. As far as I am aware there's only one other user living in the Netherlands so no meetings (yet) here. If one would ever visit Amsterdam the ideal situation would of course to first make a stop at the Concerto Record Store and then visit the Bimhuis for a nice jazz concert !

Decided to buy this one as a placeholder till a new reissue of these would become available but it sounds so good I doubt I would buy a replacement…. So great to hear how good these lps from the seventies could sound. For 20 euros it really was a steal.

Well the fact that so called spiritual jazz appears to be cool and hip has caused a major amount of reissues in that genre. And I am very happy with that Amen to that!

Such great news! Interested in all three. Looking at previous releases it’s probably going to be a cd and lp release. These Palms are very rare but I assume Clifford has some original pressings?

Thanks HutchFan!

Thanks!

Now finally reviewed on my Mal Waldron blog: https://snake-out.blogspot.com/

I think Mark answer says it all. Been looking for a copy for a while but prices are insane. I stick with my cd version for now. I pleaded for a reissue in the 70th anniversary Contemporary series on the Hoffman board. But I don’t think it has much chance as the music is pretty ‘challenging’. Same goes for the beautiful stuff Sonny Simmons made on the label.

Yeah I love that record, maybe even more than the original LMO. Just had to get it on my favorite format. And for 10 euros I could not resist.

I love that Bang album! Doi Moi is such a beautiful song.

Yeah it's the recent release without the ugly yellow artwork
