JSngry Posted March 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 I like how the chair and coat and water bottle takes on a presence of its own in the picture. Roscoe creates a holistic environment just by being there and doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had it on vinyl but sold it recently because noone else in the house would tolerate it, despite putting up with Ayler, Nonaah and a hundred other worse things.

Gheorghe Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 Wonderful ! Chet was very often at his best until the very very end. I saw him live in late 1987, that means 6 months before he died and he was in top form, better than ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabshakeh Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) Just finished: That's the Way I Feel Now: A Tribute to Thelonious Monk (A&M, 1984) A record that gets better with distance. If anyone knows the reason why there are so many musicians from the "downtown" scene on a major label big budget tribute to Monk, I'd be interested to know.

Rabshakeh Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) Now playing: ICP0001 itself: New Acoustic Swing Duo (ICP, 2017) by Han Bennink and Willem Breuker. To my ears, this one is easily on a level with Machine Gun or Karyobin. Fantastic free music, but clearly jazz.

Rabshakeh Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 Then onto: John Coltrane's Expression (Impulse!, 1967). 2 minutes ago, soulpope said: Exciting project for sure ..... I never understood it. How did A&M come up with those players? It's a great selection. Also, and on a different note, they must have spent a tonne recording it and getting everyone involved to show up, because it still sounds beautiful. But could they not have schtupped the graphics department something?! It looks like a cheap public domain comp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the art work for double vinyl is quite nice .... btw if I`m not mistaken the CD release is missing some material due to time constraint .....

Just representative of the time. IMO. I didn't realize it was downbeat's critic's choice for album of the year until it came up recently on the "Favorite 1980s Albums" thread. I dig the record. It's interesting. But no way I'd choose any Various Artists record as my album of the year. ... Then again, no one asked me to vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
