Just got this one.
Listening to Lonnie Liston Smith's Astral Traveling--sort of reminds me of Santana's Caravaseria, Welcome etc.
Listened to some Jan Garbarek today. Good for the shift in seasons, he can get really get a nice ethereal quality to his music at times.

There are two kinds of music. Good music, and the other kind. ∞
Duke Ellington.
De nada. I have just realized that there is another box titled "Born Free", the actual FIRST one in the series released last year, with 9 discs covering the 12th German Jazz Festival 1970 in Frankfurt. Wow!

Saw The Claudia Quintet the other night in New Haven.
Two extraordinary sets of music that seamlessly blended minimalism, free jazz, modern classical, and avant garde .
I've been listening to them for years, but now have more appreciation for their sublime precision.

Bitches Brew Revisited by Olivier Martin
Graham Haynes:trumpet, Jean Paul Bourelly: guitar, Antoine Roney: Sax; Adam Rudolf: Perc, JT Lewis: drums, DJ Logic: DJ, Marco Benveneto: piano, Melvin Gibbs: Bass.
Two new albums out:
Guillaume Perret's latest called Free... alone with his sax and ghizmos (this means withoutThe Electric Epic), it's a much softer album (almost standardy-jazz, if you don't listen carefully) than the two hard-rocking fusion albums he'd done up to now. Apparently everything out of this albums is coming out of his sax, even the percussion, if I understood right.
Dhafer Yuseef: Diwan of Beauty and Odd.... More or less a repeat of the extra-ordinaru Abu Nawas Rhapsody, but I prefer the former

I was surfing an audiophile forum and there was a thread about what constitutes a large collection. Someone answered, "one thousand CDs and one thousand LPs is considered large. Unless you then discover jazz...."
