So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

Eric Kloss' Consciousness! (Prestige, 1970)

There's been some mention of this recently which inspired me to dig it out. A really great album, with some of Chick Corea's best playing.

EABS "Discipline of Sun Ra" cd

Well, it's mastered hotter than I'd like a cd to be. That said it's a very interesting listen, an updated Sun Ra sound, recorded with a smoothness one could wish some of the Sun Ra recordings were.

I don't usually get into what a friend of mine calls "Ra-souleum" material, but I'll be returning to this one. A good recording to test tube rectifiers with!

"The Complete Pacific Jazz Recordings of the Chet Baker Quartet with Russ Freeman" Disc 1

I forget sometimes how intriguing Russ Freeman's piano playing was at this time.

Which type of Ra's music would that be? The moog-heavy excursions?

I agree, jazzbo.  

Your comment prompted me to pull this CD off the shelf:

Russ Freeman & Shelly Manne - One on One (Contemporary, rec. 1982)

No, it's music done by others after his death. Tributes, bands inspired by Ra, etc. His take on "Mausoleum."

Yes, I caught Stan and the Octet live playing the ‘Hong Kong Suite’ in one of the last appearances I saw prior to his passing. Predictably good.

Still have a Pablo cassette of that one somewhere, bought at time of issue (‘76?)
