This album is better than I remember. for me the very best album of Miles after his comeback. It´s fresh, it´s originals and not pop tunes, it is a playing band and no synthies and it is jazz musicians like Al Foster. It has fire and is not that kind of "show" where Miles was more a parody of himself...., and it is exiting, never gets boring.... Quote

I think Al Foster’s excellent playing is sort of like the icing on the cake of that fine album - although I wasn’t that keen on the album when it came out. Teo Macero really captures Foster’s drums well. Quote
Rabshakeh Posted July 2, 2022 Report Posted July 2, 2022 Joachim Kühn – This Way Out (MPS, 1973) Double LP. I feel like the second, with Dudek, would potentially be a euro free jazz classic if it had been released on its own. Whereas the first LP is just dull. Quote

I dig the trio cuts. Now listening to: Quote

JSngry Posted July 2, 2022 Author Report Posted July 2, 2022 Tracks 3-5 are...masterful. The others are fine, very fine, but those three... Carla Bley BIG BAND!!! Quote

Also remember them doing tracks from the album at Ronnie Scott’s many years ago (40 ish !) just after it came out. Martin Speake is playing Swanage with his quartet next weekend. Hope to catch it.

I agree it is by far the best of the post-comeback albums that I have heard. Quote

He led an unusual, fascinating life. Edited July 3, 2022 by HutchFan Quote
