I'm glad you like it. And there's plenty more where that came from. I discovered jazz in the 2000's, when I was a bit tired of electronic music. I started buying these reasonably priced jazz cds from Blue Note, Impulse, and Prestige. They all had extensive liner notes and one purchase always led to two others. After a short while I had a nice jazz collection and knew a lot about jazz. Cd and vinyl is really the way to go about jazz because of all the stuff written in the liner notes. Andrew Hill really got me started with my obsession with jazz. His Point of Departure took me many spins to figure out, much like an Autechre album would. It is a beautiful and strange set of compositions and one of my all time favorite albums. He did not limit himself stylistically though and albums like "Grass Roots" and "Passing Ships" are really quite soulful and funky. He is one of the few Blue Note artists that was given full artistic freedom and unlimited recording time - well, as far as that was possible anyway - but a lot of his recordings stayed in the vaults for a long time with the dropping interest in jazz at the end of the 60's and 70's. During the 2000's a lot of his great recordings surfaced for the first time. Another favorite of mine is Eric Dolphy. He is a part of the sextet on Point of Departure, a protege of Mingus and an admirable devotee of his own musical art. He mastered three instruments and developed his own very personal way of playing and although he only recorded over a period of roughly 5 years the output is overwhelming in volume and artistic span. I' ve been trying to track down all of his recordings and this is what I've come up with so far: Dolphy played with A LOT of the greatest jazzmen of his time and his 5 active years leading up to his tragic death is a history of jazz on its own: Coltrane, Coleman, Chico Hamilton, Max Roach, Booker Little, John Lewis, Oliver Ne |

I was listening to that Hank Mobley yesterday, really good. I notice Andrew Hill plays on that too, fella got around. I think you're right about physical media, I can see how following the trails of bread crumbs is easier with liner notes instead of pissing around with downloads and wikipedia and that. Will give the Andrew Hill albums a listen next... the only Eric Dolphy I know is Out to Lunch, have some catching up to do there. |

If you liked "No Room for Squares" by Hank Mobley then you can't go wrong with "Jackie's Bag" by Jackie McLean. Just saying... :-) |
