Rabshakeh Posted October 2, 2022 Report Share Posted October 2, 2022 (edited) Eric Dolphy – At The Five Spot Volume 2 (Prestige) The three Five Spot records are up there in my top ten. I'd put them right up there in the starter pack for someone trying to get into the free-er end of midcentury jazz, alongside the first two Ornette Atlantics and A Love Supreme. I think they're far more accessible than the his much more famous Blue Note record (particularly with it's rather conceptual first side).

I had planned to but things got in the way I did, with Alexander Hawkins of this parish. I really enjoyed it. Very moving. Edit: I should add, and not just because one of the duo might be reading this, that I thought that the combination of Mitchell and Hawkins really worked well for both, and brought out something really magical.

I thought that might be the case, glad you enjoyed it so much. Maybe they'll record, I hope so. @Alexander Hawkinswhat say you? I saw her there solo and with Mark Sanders a few years back and it was sensational. It should have been a trio with Joelle Leandre who cancelled. The audience that night was embarrassingly small, perhaps because of Leandre's non appearance Edited October 3, 2022 by mjazzg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should have been a trio with Joelle Leandre who cancelled. The audience that night was embarrassingly small, perhaps because of Leandre's non appearance I have always thought that Mitchell was a great player with a really interesting and personal sound on her flute, but I think that some of her earlier records sometimes adopted ensemble approaches that, whilst good, perhaps didn't show off how unique her playing is. I first fell really in love with Mitchell's music when I listened to the solo record I posted above. I could listen to that record all day. This was similarly excellent, with the piano opening up new possibilities for the flute. It reminded me a lot of Hemphill, Newton and very late Debussy, whilst still being it's own thing. Two players who work beautifully together. I would love to hear a duo album. Sadly, OTO was not full last night either, although it did have a quite intense and studious small audience feel, which was nice.
