HutchFan Posted November 11, 2019 Report Posted November 11, 2019 Michael Blake - The Kingdom of Champa (Intuition, 1997) This is very, very impressive -- especially considering the fact that it's a debut recording. Quote
HutchFan Posted November 11, 2019 Report Posted November 11, 2019 More from Blake: Michael Blake Sextet - Amor de Cosmos (Songlines, 2007) Quote
mikeweil Posted November 11, 2019 Report Posted November 11, 2019 These Essence All Stars albums never disappointed me so far. Interesting combinations of musicians that work for a one shot studio date. Quote

And as so often happens, I am a dumbass. This Is a GREAT record. Don't know how replicable it could/should be, but that's hardly the point. On that day at that moment, these people mad some really badass, damn near earth-shattering energy music. You'll reach a star because there are such things. Mea culpa (especially to myself) and as a sidenote of illusory "importance - the line from Sonny Simmons to Stan Kenton (and vice-versa!) goes directly through here. And Allan Praskin ! Quote

I think he came here in the 70´s through Gunter Hampel´s Group and played everything from bop to free. My highest admiration for him. Quote
