Which Jazz box set are you grooving to right now?

Disc 2

[jeffcrom]

Albert Ayler - Holy Ghost (Revenant), disc one. This disc starts with Ayler's first recording as a mature musician - a June, 1962 broadcast recording with Herbert Katz's Finnish band. It's fascinating, and pretty great. It's obvious to me that Ayler knows exactly what he's doing on these standards; his playing is strange, but not random. He knows the melodies, the form, and the chord structures, but he's hearing something very different from his Finnish colleagues. And the 22-minute piece by the Cecil Taylor Quartet (Taylor, Ayler, Jimmy Lyons, and Sunny Murray) that follows is epic, amazing, important - a holy thing, really.

Listened to this last night and again today:

Mosaic Select: Dave Liebman & Richie Beirach

I'm especially digging the Lookout Farm tracks (Disc 1).

Thanks Jeff for prompting me to get this out. I feel very fortunate to have been at Ayler's London School of Economics concert in 1966.

Andrew Hill ------ Mosaic Select 016

Disc one - totally solid. The three originally released tracks are the strongest. Good choices were made on the initial release of "One for one" but it's more than good to have these sessions in near totality.
