It is one Paul Bley album i do not have but I have plenrty of others where he is performing with Peacock and Motian. I find that you cannot go wrong with Paul Bley's music and the level of music -making is always extremely high. Again, to pick up on the argument presented by Joseph, Paul Bley's body of work is a great example of someone who was working at a greater level than Miles Davis in the 1970s and 80s. Although he emerged in the 1960s, I always considered Paul Bley as a musician who was contemporary. I would not swap anything Paul Bley produced for any of Miles 70s/ 80's output. Shame that Paul Bley was only really recognised by his fellow musicians and somewhat under the radar of the fans. He is one of my favourite musicians.Originally posted by Serial_Apologist View PostComment

Ian, to an extent I don't disagree with you about Miles's output - I think his last great album was Live-Evil, and I don't listen that much to any album made after that. I just object to you seeming to use it as an example of bad music - which I think is unfair, and I dislike your comparative judgemental disquisitions which contain all kinds of generalisations and misrepresentations, which I don't have the time or inclination to unpick.Comment

Rightly admired though this recording is, I always wish the original semi-improvised clips Stan Tracey performed to the movie along Sonny with Ernest Ranglin and the others involved while the paint of Sonny's inspiration was still wet - much the same way Herbie Hancock did for the clips to "Blow Up" a year later. Either that or they'd improvised long enough settings of the materials for an LP.Originally posted by Stanfordian View PostComment

I wondered if anyone here is familiar with this record? It might have been something on either Bluesnik's or Jazzrook's radar. Lyle "Spud" Murphy always struck me as a rather perfunctory swing band arranger who worked for the likes of Benny Goodman in the 1930s. I was totally unaware of his subsequent career and his interest in the then more contemprary styles of classical music which were prevalent in the mid 20th Century. He used his own Equal Interval System which ultimately served his later career in film music,classical composition and teaching before he died aged 97 in 2005. He also seems to have been a wroter of copious books about musical theory which apparently Oscar Peterson , amongst others, was a student.
I had never appreciated he had subsequently made two records for Contemporary in the mid 50s which sought to blend jazz with classical music. Some of the results remind me of Tristano and the list of musicians associated with him demonstrates that he must have been held in a lot of respect. Andre Previn is the pianist but other musicians include Buddy Collete, Curtis Counce, Shelly Manne and Frank Morgan. I think that there will be a few here who will find this music really interesting. Amazing that it seems to be so little known.
