Harper was in the Tolliver big band in the 00’s: he’s on Emperor March and With Love.

Wow they better record this stuff! Wish I could be there…. Billy Harper should take the tenor spot

On my list!

R.I.p. Just recently discovered him. Not a big flute fan but this guy was definitely great. I love his Washington Suite and there’s more on my to listen list!

Wow this is seriously uncool

Look Out is on the turntable now and it’s pretty freakin great it’s not that they are doing something extraordinary. It’s just that what they are doing sounds so damn good.

Yeah this thread should be removed and to be honest: you should be the one to remove it Simon.

Oh yeah I could see him do that. Thanks Clifford. I made a (pretty big) mistake I see now

I never liked his music but his debut seems interesting for it's personnel: practically the Center of the World group with Bobby Few, Muhammad Ali and Frank Wright. First reissue: https://www.musiconvinyl.com/catalog/hans-dulfer/el-saxofon#.YX6Qri9Y790 https://www.discogs.com/release/20784931-Hans-Dulfer-El-Saxofón

A fire destroying my collection is my nightmare. The drying machine is in the room next to my 'music room'. I hate that machine.

Has this been posted before? Fantastic footage!

That’s a lot of nonsense indeed. I did not want to miss Transition, Sun Ship, Stellar Regions etc. Those are very definitive recordings themselves.

It leaves small pieces of paper on the vinyl which causes pops and could damage the record but worse: taking it out en putting it back in makes tiny scratches on the surface. A lot of my Blue Note 75th anniversary releases have those scratches. Best alternative are rice paper anti static sleeves. Nothing fancy or expensive so I really don’t understand they still put them in paper sleeves.

It’s good but also a little hard to say as I think the original tapes weren’t exactly best in sound. But it is that sound that really makes you feel like you’re attending a live Coltrane gig. I can’t believe they still put these expansive releases in paper inner sleeves…. Part from that: great packaging.

Coltrane is indeed a little far out in the mix. But the music is…. sensational. Wow….. just wow…

I love his stuff on Verve: - Jazz Giant - Piano Interpretations By - The Lonely One classic Powell and much overlooked.

Glad I am not the only one noticing

He has quite a lot but there are some that made me almost jump from my chair: Wise One (Crescent) Suite (Transition) Amen (Sun Ship) Serraphic Light (Stellar Regions)

I see your right! Don’t know why I thought it was Belgian….

Am I the only one who is noticing such a stylistic difference between ‘Flight for Four’ and ‘Selfdetermination Music’? Same band, same recording year but quite a different sound. The first sounds heavily influenced by Ornette Coleman’s music while the latter is more free form playing with a more unique touch. Was this the intention of the artists? oh and btw: stunning music.

a Zundert! Lovely Belgian beer. Goes very wel with some Self Determination Music.

How bout Barbara Donald? The first time I heard her play on a Simmons I was really blown away. I was surprised when I learned she’s not really well recorded.

Wow that stuff works on my nerves. But I could imagine it could work out for babies. My oldest son slept on the sound of a hairdryer when he was a baby. Haha believe me, when both of my boys are a sleep, I want nothing more than to sleep myself

I didn’t knew that. I’m getting old.

Ah yeah than I am still the youngest but indeed: we are not in the phase of nights without any sleep!
