If you liked any of that stuff, you might like this as well…

• Weather Report. From the album “Sweetnighter” Still has Miroslav Vitous in the band.

• Rasaan Roland Kirk (Pt 1). Cabin In The Sky. This is what I put on when things aren’t going so well. I really draw energy from the intensity he puts in here.

• James “Blood” Ulmer. A slightly easier listen than Captain Black and perhaps a good place to start.

• Freddie Hubbard “Skagly”. this is just one track, the entire album is worth a listen, if you like that sort of thing.

• John Mclaughlin - Naima from the album “After the Rain”. Again, check out the full album.

• Eddie Harris & Les McCann - Compared to what? From the album “Swiss Movement”. This was playing when I walked into a record store in Köln after the US trip.

• Ahmad Jamal - The Awakening. This was a Record Store Day Drop a while back.

• The Gustav Brom Orchestra - A Moravian Wedding. If I could find a copy of this I would be really happy.

• John Adams - City Noir

Charles Mingus - Moanin’ ( featuring Pepper Adams)

• The Underwater World of Claude Debussy

• Charlie Parker in a really good studio for once…

• Don Ellis makes it difficult for competitors on Dancing with the Stars

• Return To Forever

• Miles runs Osaka down…

• Rasaan has your number, and an entire sack of strangely shaped Saxophones which he can play all at once

• …and here he is, not coming up for air for 20 minutes!

  Consider, if you will, that this was a radio recording and not a recording made for a record release. That’s right, you’re reading that date right, it’s 1969. Listen to that wind section!
