paul secor Posted October 22, 2015 Report Posted October 22, 2015 Jane Ira Bloom: Mighty Lights (Enja)Brought back good memories of hearing this band (w. Haden, Blackwell, Hersch) play live a couple of times. She had something going back then and somehow seemed to lose it along the way to now. Quote

I've kept the early albums I have by her, but I've never kept the more recent Bloom albums I've tried for more than a couple of months.Now playing:Sunny Murray - Homage to Africa (BYG Actuel) Quote

I've kept the early albums I have by her, but I've never kept the more recent Bloom albums I've tried for more than a couple of months."Mighty Lights" is one of Bloom's earliest efforts (1982). I hope by "early" you mean prior to 2000. Because if you missed "The Nearness" (1995) or "Red Quartets" (1999), you missed some good stuff. I do agree that her latest efforts (2000-2013) are not as good as her earlier stuff. Quote

I heard her play live a number of times prior to that recording and bought a couple of her recordings after that one, but I've only kept the ones before Modern Drama. Just my take and tastes. Quote

clifford_thornton Posted October 25, 2015 Report Posted October 25, 2015 yeah, looks like it. Need to get Kanguru again - used to have a VG copy and sold it in the move. Actually wasn't the worst-playing VG I've encountered. Quote

Homefromtheforest Posted October 27, 2015 Report Posted October 27, 2015 Sadao Watanabe & Kosuke Mine - Alto Sax Vol. 1 - (Toshiba, JP)Kosuke side - quite excellent.never heard of this one..year? Â Is it a compilation or reissue or is the material unique to this album??any more info appreciated! Quote
clifford_thornton Posted October 27, 2015 Report Posted October 27, 2015 It's a split LP from 1970 - part of that series "The Best Players in Japan." I'd never seen a copy before and the personnel aren't listed on the record. The Mine side is quartet so my guess is that Masahiro Kikuchi, Yoshiro Suzuki and Hiroshi Murakami are the rhythm section.

Homefromtheforest Posted October 27, 2015 Report Posted October 27, 2015 Hmm..I'll have to dig up some more info on that.. Do you have track titles for the Mine side? Quote
