You mean on CD or on LP?

In the LP days, only Complete Communion stayed readily available IIRC. I remember the other two being "finds" when I did find them.

When was the Don Cherry Mosaic released?

I meant the LP. CD was released in 2005. Session was recorded in 1966. By the sleeve art, I'm guessing the LP came out in 1969-70. On par with CC and SFI; I may like it even a bit more.

 

Don Cherry's BN's are just a purple patch of awesomeness (incredible series). (1964-67, including ) Wow!

Now: 

[Holy Ghost]

No slouching here. Think Don was way more intense at this time than Ornette. Karl Berger! Wow!

Really enjoying Don Cherry's music the last couple of days. Great stuff, beyond the great stuff with Ornette. 

The fidelity on these live records is pretty nice.

Now Vol. 2:

The Don Cherry ESP's are wildly good!

Yeah that whole period is my favorite Don Cherry. The Blue Notes plus the ESP's and the BYG. Lovely side appereances with Albert Heath on Kawaida en with Clifford Jordan on 'In the World'. Mostly recorded between 1965 and 1970.

[jazzbo]

Should be another warmer day thank goodness.

I’ve been neglecting my collection of Japanese 24 Bit by RVG cds for too long, decided to spin this one.

Great record. Jackie, Pepper! Love BN Byrd. Was playing this the other night,

About cars, Herbie has (still has) that neat genuine Shelby he bought 3k in 1963, after his first big hit made money? (Watermelon Man?) that's worth like 3mil now (featuring Jay Leno and Herbie driving in it on his super car show), but I always liked Donald's reserved taste; either choosing to be a Mercedes or a Jag man. But you have to choose, can't be both. 

 

[Holy Ghost]

Gorgeous car

Herbie's a genius. He had the gumption and foresight to hold on to that car? Wow.

Right? What he was doing in that half decade was Don Cherry, no longer just known as an Ornette sideman. The BN's and ESP's keep me on edge. No slouching, no downtime-relentless!! Just the way I like it. Gotta revisit the "mu" stuff right now. Mu is Japanese for "nothingness" right? Existential in European talk. Don Cherry was a deep dude, Have both parts, playing it now.

Chick Corea "Return to Forever" ECM LP

Listened to my OG LP and man what a wonderful experience. This is a masterpiece. What Joe, Flora and Airto contribute has always intrigued me. And Chick's Fender Rhodes playing is among the best ever.

Jazzbo,

Yeah, wow. Makes me wonder if Lalo Schrifen was inspired by this music (1972) to compose the music for Magnum Force (1973). IMO, Chick could've wrote the music for the whole movie.

I wouldn't know. . . I'm not much of a movie person, and I am also not much of a soundtrack guy. I'll take your word for it!

I'm not either, no musicals/plays, no nothing, lols, as much as my wife wants to make me watch them, but form your own opinion on the music, until you see/hear this badass introduction there is a similarity; coulisse 1972 Chick to 1973 Lalo:

👍 - bought this issue when it came out in 1972!

I just finished making a permanent resting place for my dear Fiona the miniature dachshund near one of her favorite spots in the back yard. She stopped eating and drinking two days ago, and we made an appointment with the vet’s for a probable termination for 11:00 a.m. and true to her self-determined nature she decided to pass away peacefully in her dog bed at 9:30 a.m. She was a BIG part of my life, I’m really going to miss her, but we gave her a full life and she did not seem in pain, just drifted away. She was such a character! I miss her already.

I’m playing this disc. . . she always settled down and took a nice snooze whenever I would. And it’s comfort music for me.

After all the talk about "Return To Forever", a record that I don't really care for, I wanted to play something  very different.

So sorry to hear of Fiona's passing, jazzbo.  Losing dear pets is hard.

Thanks we had time to acclimate to her leaving us soon. We're going to be alright. She was MY dog, treated my wife as a second class citizen. It will be nice to be able to snuggle with my wife again.
