What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[Clunky]

AEC - Full Force (ECM)- good session ,

[Clunky]

Probably still the only way to hear that great music as originally heard by whatever parts of the worlds were listening to it. Maybe, as Bill Laswell(?) says, the technology wasn't in place to present it "fully", but this music was not meant to be "fully revealed" on record (or even live), I'm convinced. The "murk" is just as much a part of what it all "means" as is any other part of it.

I gave this one a listen last night ( well one side of it). I hadn't played it in years but it sounded excellent, not much murk as far as I could tell, also not much evident of Miles on the side in question. Must listen to it fully.

Cat Anderson- plays w.c. handy Black and Blue- a really lovely set in their usual excellent sound. A number of Ellingtonians along for the ride inc, Harold Ashby, Aaaron Bell, Sam Woodyard, swings pretty hard.

Carla Bley/Paul Haines & a hundred or two musicians and singers: Escalator Over the Hill (JCOA/ECM)

I've had this for at least 25 years and have listened to it in bits and pieces, but today was the first time I listened to it from beginning to end. Some good parts, offset by over cleverness, late 60's/early 70's rock star adulation, and too much one dimensional Gato Barbieri.

File under: May keep it, may not, quirky/interesting but pretentious. Probably the same comment my wife might make about me at times.

I'm with you - I like parts of it. There is one of the LP sides that I turn to with some regularity - the one that starts with a group including Don Cherry playing "A.I.R. (All India Radio)" and which goes on to a long rock piece with some good John McLaughlin and a great Jack Bruce vocal. I like that side a lot, even though Paul Motian was a lousy rock drummer.

My foremost lasting impression is always some variant of "DAMN!"

Even when it doesn't work, it's kind of mind-boggling what it is that's not working.

And when it does work....

Home runs/strikeouts, that sort of thing.

Marion Brown - Afternoon of a Georgia Faun (ECM). First spin in quite a while. I think I liked it more back in the day.

Bob Cooper - Tenor Sax Jazz Impressions (Trend). A 1979 direct-to-disc record. Excellent music and sound.

Free Jazz Workshop (de Lyon) - Inter Frequences - (ADMI)

[jazzbo]

[Clunky]

Larry Young _ Heaven on Earth - (BN Liberty)- sounding much murkier than on the Mosaic set. The LP sounds quite gritty- maybe just my copy ?

I thought mine sounded better if anything than the Mosaic - will have to check.
