After all we tend to like the same things mostly I like that one. I wish I could connect with Foster's 70s big band work a bit more. Tried several times and just can't get into it -- and certainly I'd say it's my ears, not his charts or the recordings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(the description has those liners too, so they may be easier to read than the pic...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this archival recording -- recorded in 1977 but only released in 2007 -- is probably Foster's best with his Loud Minority Band: Perhaps it might make for an easier path into his music?

First up daughter (3) with a cover she likes. Gone down well for a first listen. Second up, son (5) wants the "really good one with American peoples and they're looking down at the city and it's really... beat-ey". Some imagination and I figured it out... Yeah, Agharta ! Miles sounded so good until 1981 or so and started to sound so boring as the 80´s went on........

All we boys at hi school wanted to "play Miles Davis", buying huge sunglasses, bendin down and mimicking a wah wah trumpet, he was Mr. Super Cool. I was lucky I could manage both of it. The acoustic with Trane or with Wayne Shorte, as much as the early electric and the post 73 stuff. Saw him with "Lieb" at Stadthalle Vienna.

Pim Posted August 30, 2023 Report Share Posted August 30, 2023 this double LP contains some of the best Coltrane I know. Songs like Living Space (that Tyner solo 😮) and Feelin Good. You could hardly believe it wasn’t released immediately. Of course all of it was later added as bonus tracks on the Impulse! CD’s and Living Space was a release on itself. Those were among my first jazz cd’s and I still cherish this music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like Vienna back then was a wee bit different to here. Most people my age had never heard of Miles Davis. The aspiration was either to wear loon pants and doc martens or jean jackets with Motörhead on the back ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niko Posted August 30, 2023 Report Share Posted August 30, 2023 The Bay Big Band – Plays Duke Ellington part of the Brussels world exhibition that also gave us the Atomium? Not quite sure, but the cover photo (by Ray Avery it says?!) is from the Belgian Congo Pavillion at the Brussels world fair... I guess the underlying story is that Belgian jazz musicians' expertise in playing Afro-American music had some of its roots Belgium's involvement in Congo? Those were different times... And, of course, despite the stereo sound, I guess you only need this if you are the most hopeless type of Ellington completist... the band is good, most of the musicians can also be heard on Jack Sels recordings from the time... but Ellington is impossible to cover well with a bunch of studio heroes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
