"Coming Soon" to Dusty Groove for another physical CD (twofer) option...might be cheaper w. shipping.

Why I don't need to rely on Trane to love Pharaoh just as much: Blessed Souls, love them both equally.

hey yeah, you are my man ! 

Same tastes. I have that album and some others by Pharoah Sanders whom I saw live many times. 

Trane ! I love especially the stuff he made in the last 5 years of his live.

now listening:

Some read them stupid reviews of "New Grass" but I can say you, when I was just in my early teens (about 1973,74), this was, what the more mature guys, all of us longhaired and freaks listened to.  Mr. Ayler sounds so phantastic, he is incredible !

Coltrane live at Birdland I got many years after I had fell in love with the song "Your Lady" done by another idol of mine: Dave Liebman.

That tune written by Trane. I love the playing of Trane and Elvin Jones here.

Have both, and I really do like Ayler's Impulse! output. That Trane LP sleeve hangs on my wall in my billiard room!

The original Maupin sleeve is waaaay far sweeter than the new ECM cd booklet.

To Gheorghe, love your comments on Ayler and Sanders! Awesome!

thank you ! 

You might laugh about me, but that Donald Byrd live album from the HalfNote maybe is the one I still listen to sometimes.  I got to know about bebop thru Charles Mingus when I had listened to his tune dedicated to Charlie Parker. And maybe when I started to buy some of Bird and Diz and acoustic musicians after those two, I think I liked that Half Note set. 

I have not listened to it for ages.

Pepper's on it, Lex is in great form, come on! Put it on the turntable now; it's great music!

Still Byrd:

I know this Donald Byrd album also. 

One interesting aspect is, that I never got into Donald Byrd´s electric stuff. The first name musician I heard and saw live was Miles Davis when I was 14, it was the band with Dave Liebman, Reggie Lucas, Pete Cosey, Mtume, Mike Henderson and my favourite Al Foster. 
I think that music impressed me so much that it spoiled me on other main artists of electric jazz, okay, Hancock, Chick Corea, Larry Corryell, Zawinul, that´s all. But......Miles with that wah wah trumpet and that incredible group, he was my man.

But I had heard Donald Byrd only from radio. We here in Austria had a Saturday Night Jazz programm and the DJ was somehow an Austrian version of Symphony Sid Torin, he was THE voice of the night that came into your home. 

And that´s I think I remember how I started to buy two or three Donald Byrd records.

Lex Humphries: Yeah, he was a super fine drummer.

This one again before it returns to the shelves. Tom’s High Note recordings are so so good.
