I've been revisiting this London Brew thing.



Disc 1 makes more sense to me this time. . . I've decided that parts of it remind me more of "Miles Davis at Fillmore" than "Bitches Brew" (the synth interplay being like Keith and Chick in ways, and some reminds me of "The Mask") and though parts of the second track might be conceived to be like "Pharaoh's Dance". . .it is a lot more like "Ife" and some of "Get Up With It."

The horns are more dominant on the second disc and I like that more and forget about trying to see what was "Bitches Brew" inspired etc.

What is it?

A overly ambitious failure would be too cruel. Maybe less than the sum of its parts. It's certainly listenable but left me wanting more.

Most everyone from current London scene in a studio for a few days interpreting or being inspired by original BB

East German trombone quartet. Slightly jazz funk and slightly free jazz. Very gritty. I really enjoyed it on my first listen. Easily streamed.

I'm the same with Amiga.

two favorites, if you want, they're both takes on Coltrane albums, the Japanese Soultrane and the German Olé

Gave it a listen. Pleasant enough but it misses the original by quite a way. It is anything but innovative.

Yes, I've been listening to all these Rollins sessions from this wonderful box set.  I appreciate the music even more now as I read the new Sonny bio.

Now playing:

The sound of tiny cymbals and vibes on this one reminds me of a joke back in the day that when the MJQ played at Newport small boys rolled empty drinks cans down the stone steps. 😄

But they did attract enormous audiences. People who wouldn't be seen dead at a jazz gig (except one with Dave Brubeck) flocked in droves to hear them, which I suppose is why I never went. 🙁
