not a huge Jarrett fan but this remains an outstanding record. Also quite a lot trough the contributions by Redman, Haden and Motian.

Well I hope it dies soon but probably not . Some people have to repeat a thousand times about how they hate a musician. I cannot believe one actually could be offended by someone’s playing. There’s a lot musicians I don’t particularly like, both jazz and non-jazz but no one offends me. And if their music is a joy and pleasure to others, everything’s fine with me.

Great to hear. Looking forward to it anyway. I’ve got pretty old parents (relatively) and always do these gigs with them. Will have a nice diner before. Always greatful I am still able to do these kind of things with them.

Great to hear that. Must say I like his India Navigation stuff the most. Indeed the ‘70’s/80’s stuff. With these guys I always feel happy to be able to see them perform live. As a 31 year old, I’ve missed a lot of my idols You’ll here from me

Yeah he did. Essentially a ballad album but a very good one he will be performing at the Bimhuis coming Sunday performing Coltrane tunes. Curious to see if he still has that tone.

You got a better record player…. And more space I always like it when people share these shots

Looking forward to his gig Sunday the 18th at the Bimhuis!

Great stuff when they released this one I had the idea there was way much more to come from the archives. But to my knowing there have been only two releases so far.

Nice!

This…. And I also would not know why I would buy material I already own in a better (and original) form. Never liked their packaging too either so if I don’t have to buy a Hat release I don’t and get it on another original and more legal label.

oh yes… Dark Tree does it again. Excellent record

this is Mal 1970 in Paris. The upcoming session from Sam records is 1970 Paris. If that session is just as good as Blood and Guts….

I am a SH visitor as well and this is very recognizable. Blue Note has the the status of a catholic saint, a communist leader over there. You can’t say anything bad about them. The new Wayne Shorter is missing a spine text on all the pressings. I thinks that’s a little messy for a company asking 30 euros for a piece of vinyl. But no one agreed with me, nobody even liked my remark. The people who reacted said they didn’t understand what I was complaining about and Blue Note should ignore customers like me. These are the same guys that send a record back 4 times because it gives one pop at the end. This leads to another weird Hoffman Blue Note thing. It’s the total obsession by so many board members with…. Blue Note. Most people there don’t know shit about any other jazz artists unless he has brought out his music on Blue Note. The only jazz they listen to is on Blue Note. I dare to say that to them jazz = Blue Note. And they like every single record on the label. Every new Tone Poet, every new Classic: it’s always the same story. ‘Wow this must be one of the best jazz records I’ve ever heard’. ‘Oh my god I love this record’. Blablablabla. No serious music listening or analyzing at all. No sincere opinions. Weird guys they are/

That’s sad news. Great guitar player. I love her contributions to the Sounds of Liberation records.

I read the discussion on the Hoffman board and agree with you Bresna but hope the Tone Poet LP will be okay as that’s the one I am picking up

Nation Time

I love the fact this one getting the Tone Poet treatment next year

Well it’s spinning here now and I’d say the only downside is it’s playing time of 35 minutes. Quite some free playing here but with some structure in its base. Interesting to hear that both bassists stick to playing with their bow. For Fats was the Giant Has Awakened composition I least enjoyed but have to say this version is better (and much longer) than on the GHA LP. It’s Tapscott in prime form and I’d dare to say it’s essential to every Tapscott fan, out of tune piano or not Thanks Mr Bongo records. Next: an unreleased John Carter/Bobby Bradford session please.
