What Jazz are you listening to now?

A double CD of which I picked up from the secondhand rack at Ray's a year ago - there were only 2 CDs worth considering, this being one of them. The second CD of the double was "Caravan" from a year later.

An excellent pairing, S_A.
I have the 'Keepnews Collection' edition of 'Caravan' and here's 'Skylark' from that album:

'Karyobin' great album by the Spontaneous Music Ensemble, Kenny Wheeler, Evan Parker, Derek Bailey, Dave Holland and John Stevens.

Hadn't played this for a few years and when I do it always offers up new musical insights - still cutting edge.

Here is part one

Not qualitatively different from the Ayler, really. However, this one brings back memories of hearing it played in a marquee set up on the front lawn of the school where I was boarding at age 17. This was for some parents' re-union, a few days following the end of the summer term, when I was one of the few pupils, waiting to be picked up and taken to army camp on Dartmoor: one such encampment being compulsory other than for reasons of sickness. Half our troop was sent home on Day 3 after we were capsized in the 3-ton lorry taking us back to camp following an aborted field exercise due to torrential rain: the brakes had failed going down a 1 in 5; fortunately the driver had the presence of mind to turn the vehicle over to land at 20 degrees on a mound adjacent to a sharp bend - I was temporarily concussed and unable to pee for a few hours as my rifle butt had rammed into my vitals on impact, but I was lucky: the lad under me in the pile had an ear half torn off, and another, who had been sat next to the driver, suffered the gear handle through his cheek - lots of blood everywhere, stitches at a nearby hospital. Everything appeared to be spinning around as the driver managed to haul us all out using one arm - his other was fractured. My mother travelled down from London by train and we returned the same way - apart from shaken up, I was just glad not to have had to continue for the rest of the week: conditions at the camp were terrible: hard beds, greasy food, tea probably containing bromide.
