Just putting this on hold while J to Z unfurls

I came across these tracks some time ago & thought I'd re-check them out to see if they were as good as seemed at the time. They are! - a small slice of what was emerging on the fringes here in the early 60s, unbeknownst to most. There is little of comparable originality around today, anywhere, unless one takes ones bids into freer arenas. The playing by all three is a revelation to my ears, inviting me right into their idiosyncratic space; Jack Bruce would have been 18 or 19 at the time. In some ways it was a shame all three then went on to star in the emerging Brit Blues scene to entertain the speed-fixers and then onto Progrock of too often not the finest qualities and tastes. On the other hand it was inevitable for all sorts of complex reasons, and would, by numerous byways and personalities, exert significant influence on 70s Fusion.

Miles Davis - The Musings Of Miles

[Gargoyle]

[BLUESNIK'S REVOX]

Shelly Manne - Jazz Gunn , Atlantic 1968, Quin with Frank Strozier and Conti Condoli..

A very fine group and interesting for the influence of the Miles second quintet on this album's interpretation of Mancini's themes.

This afternoon I've been cleaning and tidying my room, during which time I've listened to the first disk of Bitches Brew and part of the first disk of Blues For Tony by Holdsworth, Pasqua, Haslip and Wackerman, which is currently still spinning. It's a greatly underrated album which is utterly superb IMO - the last great thing Holdsworth did, I think, and like a parallel to McLaughlin & Chick's Five Peace Band album... Now: time to change my guitar strings, though I don't like to listen to music while doing that...

Ornette Coleman with Don Cherry, Red Mitchell & Shelly Manne playing 'Lorraine' dedicated to pianist Lorraine Geller from the 1959 album 'Tomorrow Is The Question':
