What Jazz are you listening to now?

[Beef Oven!]

That record epitomised "time-no changes", an approach where the players stretch as far as possible away from the heads while sticking to underlying tempo and metre. To me, once you got the idea, there was no going back. The Dutch jazz pianist Jasper Van t'Hof once told me he felt the single line solos there to be the best things Herbie Hancock ever did. Lennie Tristano's "Line-Up" given a contemporary makeover for 1966. Many drummers hugely admire Tony Williams's drumming, especially his rimshots. Me, I like Ron Carter's bass playing. Ian Carr: "I suppose you were the anchor in that group, really". Ron Carter: "Anchor? I don't really like that term. Anchor suggests typing a boat so as to hold it back and restrict its movement". Woops - faux pas there, Ian. If not precisely verbatim, that was at any rate the gist of an uncomfortable moment in Ian and Mike Dibb's wonderful documentary on Miles.

Can't quite get my head around the "time-no changes" approach, but happily I got it in a non-cerebral way!!

Speaking of Tony Wiliams, I've now moved onto 'Life Time'

Update: Among the others, Ron Carter is amazing on this ...........

The first one (with John McLaughlin) or what I think was the second (with Allan Holdsworth)?

Ok, my bad, I thought you were referring to his band, not the album...

In any case, you made me put on Believe It by The New Tony Williams Lifetime on.

I don't get on with that album - too rockist

Wonderful - thanks JR. Hadn't heard that before. Am I one of the few AA fans to love the Soul stuff he did towards the end?

yes!

Should add that Archie Shepp's "Soul/Motown/James Brown" eforts are also awful (Impulse late), despite a remarkable cast of supporting musicians.

Reference: For Losers, and, Kwanza.

For someone who does not normally like scat I think this is tremendous - LHR sing Rollins. Godfathers (& mothers) of hip hop.

Thanks JR
