Bitches Brew, disk one.

I resolved to only listen to this fortnightly, when I change my bedsheets. Today is that day. Such ineffably wonderful music, nothing else like it...

Someone was saying, on a programme I taped back in the mists of time, what a pity it was that John Gilmore did not perform or record more in collaborations outside the Ra Archestra; this and the one (?) recording he made with the Jazz Messengers might seem to substantiate that view. I wonder what others here think - the same commentator did make the point that Gilmore saw himself above all as belonging within the Ra milieu.

[BLUESNIK'S REVOX]

He was on Elmo Hope's "Sounds from Riker's Island", a kind of homage to musicians dealing with addiction. Full of fire as per "Night in Tunisia" here...http://youtu.be/XQL6SLhW9fc

He was (excellently) on The Artistry of Freddie Hubbard (Impulse) a great record with a Messengers feel. He's also on Andrew Hill's Compulsion (Bluenote), Hill's percussion album. The album he made with Paul Bley, Turning Point, never really did it for me.

I think he said somewhere that Sun Ra was a prison that you only escaped from sometimes... probably tongue in cheek!
