Idiotic electronic "on hold" music.

Sounds lovely Chuck. Is it a boxed set?

These Free America Series were among the first Freejazz albums I bought when I was in my teens. Beautiful packaging! Instill consider Free Huey as a modern free jazz classic.

last one for tonight. Beautiful soundtrack for a movie I’ve never seen.

Tyner's Trident

Listening to this among other Tyner albums tonight and wondering how this album was received at the time of release? It doesn't sound like it would be run of the mill but I don't recall hearing other music from around the same time that sounds like this. 

As I recall it was well received. I believe it received a high rating in Downbeat - 5 stars perhaps (if that means anything). I certainly enjoyed it when I bought it. I was much more into Tyner's music then than I have been lately, though it still sounds good IMO. 

Now:

How about some Count Basie?  Go here on Youtube... from 1976 - two sets.

Nice. Glad to hear it was well received. Been diving into some Tyner lately and didn't realize that Asante was held for 4 years before being released, and released right around the time of Trident and his other Milestones. No idea if Asante was well received either but listening to it from the perspective of it being from 1970 is kind of a shock, at least to me, and a good one at that.
