So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

“Miles at the Fillmore – Miles Davis 1970: The Bootleg Series Vol. 3”

Disc 4 “Saturday Miles”

This box set was an answer to prayers as “Miles Davis at Fillmore” has been a favorite and staple of my listening world for fifty years and was heavily edited for release. This is all four sides of that release, completely unedited for the first time officially.

For me a desert island disc, her final studio recording. A masterpiece!

Barney Wilen "Essential Best" Venus lp facsimile cd

 

Yeah, I have all this material on their original releases. But it's a nice selection and sequence and I wanted to hear this this morning. I never get enough Barney.

👍👍 This music plus the extra tracks that make up "Blues Express" may be my all-time favorite big band album (certainly among the top 5).

Yep the 10" edition (?) and my first Shorty Rogers BB (must be in the early 1960s). Have also a UK version with this cover:

Sade – Diamond Life

Sade seems to be making some sort of comeback, if mentions in the media is anything by which to go.

This evening, selected tracks from several Sonny Clark CDs - which made me decide to keep them and skip the Mosaic box.

After these, in its entirety:

Next is Christy Baron, just ordered her other two Chesky CDs.

Keith Jarrett/Gary Peacock/Jack DeJohnette “Yesterdays” ECM cd

 

 

These three masters never made a bad record together. Probably not apart as well!

Not really sure I understand your post but if you are calling this a bad album. . . I've learned to like it if not be crazy about it. 

So much is personal preference and taste. I can understand if you don't like it.

I tried to like and came to realize that it doesn't matter if I like it. It's just one record.

It's not very good. Big deal!

If I´m in the mood for some good old hard bop it´s very possible that I spin "Sonny´s Crib" (for the participation of Trane) or "Cool Struttin". 
Maybe I couldn´t listen to more in about the same kind of style, but they are great, especially since they have some of my favourite horn players on it.

One thing that always was in my mind is that the Bud on "Scene Changes" sounds so close to Sonny Clark that at first listening I couldn´t believe it´s Bud.

I think I got that from the widow of a late friend. I remember it´s very very hot playing, Griff in top form and going a bit into new areas on "Tunisia".....right ? 

But it seems to be a very very obscure label.
