Good one Barry - brilliant album.
I heard this one recently, Jessica Lauren Kofi Nomad, and as soon as the opening chord started it reminded me of Bitches Brew.

Miles Davis still influences artists today, it seems.

Good one Grant - excellent album.
BTW, for anyone intrigued by the cover photo, it was by the American photographer Toni Frissell, taken in 1947. She was a remarkable talent, adept at fashion, sport and war photography. A small collection of her work is here: https://www.theatlantic.com/photo/20...issell/555155/

& I paid less than that for it [emoji4]
Nice selection of Blues tracks. :)
I've just found a Kenny G recording - 'Breathless'. Soprano and occasionally alto or tenor saxophone, this is a collection of 'library music': boring, inoffensive, anodyne elevator 'muzak'. The sort of background music that accompanies travel adverts, showing palm trees and sandy beaches etc. The modern day equivalent of "The Potters Wheel". Do people actually listen to this 'pap'?

As you can see - I'm not impressed!
Well summed up Barry. The only thing this is good for is seeing how far one can launch it across the garden.
I'm afraid I must disagree about your inoffensive comment, this is very offensive, offensive utter shite.
The horror made a fortune from this junk too!
Sonny Rollins : The Bridge. RCA records 1962
Following his famous 3 year sabbatical from recording whilst at his peak..
In 1959, feeling pressured by the unexpected swiftness of his rise to fame, Rollins took a three-year hiatus to focus on perfecting his craft. A resident of the Lower East Side of Manhattan with no private space to practice, he took his saxophone up to the Williamsburg Bridge to practice alone: "I would be up there 15 or 16 hours at a time spring, summer, fall and winter".
Returns with his tour de force!

Great recommendation Andy. And thanks for adding the little background write-up - very insightful. We've got quite a number of Rollins' recordings, but not that one. Looking forward to getting to know it.
Cheers,
Svend
We've been putting this one on more frequently in recent weeks:

Marian McPartland, In My Life. Wonderful album. I can't recall at the moment who the back-up musicians were, but they really shine - some excellent playing, all 'round.
Nice Buns !:eek:
This is pretty cool stuff [spinning it now].....

Marco my Man I salute you Sir!! :youtheman:
Digg'in deep fella..
You have inspired me to reach to the 'Top Rack'...(My Mrs leaves the house when I do!)
That is a humdinger of a record.
Doug Carn made a few other records on this label, all worth checking.
This one Featuring The lovely Jean Carn (before changing her name to Jean Carne)
a few years before divorcing Doug and becoming a Soul/Disco diva.
Little B's poem!! Toooon!! (Dee Dee Bridgewater also does a stunning version of Bobby Hutcherson's classic)
The Black Jazz Label is very good, very interesting..Pretty Damn Deep!
Gene Russell, Walter Bishop and Calvin Keys all produced some corkers on Black Jazz
Another label with a similar stance on radical left sided jazz, were Strata East.
Some fantastic music around this period
Boundary pushing, spiritual and real
1973 Nice!
Dee Dee Bridgewater - Afro Blue
1978 Japan issue only, Trio Records
