I hated that when it was released, seemed like total fluff, but that was then....how does it sound to you today?

Well, from the perspective of a David Axelrod freak, I love it.  I love those early 70s fake-rock concept albums. 

"We Could Be Flying" is the money cut.

Sonny Rollins on impulse!  (stereo)

[Teasing the Korean]

Horace Silver - Blowin' the Blues Away - Blue Note (stereo, played back in mono because Blue Note albums nearly ALWAYS sound better in mono, because you boost the bass and piano and horns and drums are not so overbearing.  This is how RVG monitored the sessions.)

John Coltrane/Alice Coltrane: Cosmic Music

 

[Teasing the Korean]

Miles - In a Silent Way - Columbia

After listening for the past few years to the individual sessions on the box set, I wanted to spin the actual vinyl.

T-Bone Walker: T-Bone Blues

Cecil Taylor - Unit Structures [Blue Note, mono]

at the moment, my favourite Taylor recording. Certainly one of my favourite LP covers

previously

Tina Brooks - True Blue [Blue Note, connoisseur]

Don Byrd & Gigi Gryce - Jazz Lab [Columbia, six-eye]

my very belated introduction to this group. I want to hear a lot more if it's all of this standard

Various - The Compositions of Horace Silver - Riverside (stereo)

Chico Hamilton Quintet - With Strings Attached [Warner Bros]

An interesting experiment that is largely successful (more so than the cover art). String arrangements by Fred Katz.  Early Eric Dolphy.

I LOVE THE COVER ART!  That's why I bought it!  The record is good too!

NP:  Coleman Hawkins - Reevaluation:   The impulse! Years - impulse!, as you might expect, twofer.

James Moody & His Swedish Crowns (Dragon)

I enjoy Moody from this period more than his later playing.

Tasty. I want one of those. I tried to have Scotty beam me one down a few months ago but wasn't quick enough on the draw. Is yours of Vulcan provenance perhaps?

MJQ - Plays the Music from Porgy and Bess [Philips, UK]
