And the third track, 'White Eagle' is sublime!

It's that fortnightly Saturday where I change my bedsheets and listen to the first disk of Bitches Brew. It really is something else - it seems to express in a unique way profound mysteries. Its expressivity is such that normal categories of thinking and feeling dissolve and become transcendent. It is mind-opening and visionary, simultaneously rarefied and earthy, and philosophical in a cosmic way. Always enjoy rediscovering it, there are so many details and subtleties. (Of course, this applies to the second disk as well, though I don't listen to that quite as much).Comment

As mentioned on the jazz purchases thread, yesterday I bought Paul Dunmall's Bright Light A Joyous Celebration, in both download and, I admit, CD form, after having listened to the first track. Now I'm listening to the second tune. It's great.

Ars Memoria by Peter Evans' quartet Being & Becoming - https://peterevansmusic.bandcamp.com/album/ars-memoria
Beautiful and often jaw-dropping trumpet playing, as you'd expect, also some stellar vibraphone from Joel Ross. The rhythm section (Nick Jozwiak on bass and Michael Shekwoaga Ode on drums) has a strong taste of the Holland/DeJohnette combination on the opening track, but subsequently the quartet explores some strange and original directions. Very nice indeed.Comment

John McLaughlin, Alice Coltrane, Carlos Santana and others perform 'Angel of Sunlight'. This is the first time I have ever heard Alice Coltrane with McLaughlin...

Thelonious Monk - Straight, No Chaser
As followers of the jazz purchases thread will know, I recently bought a box of Monk's music - 'Original Album Classics' comprising five of his albums on Columbia from the 60s. For some reason they're not chronologically ordered, so I've ended up listening to 1967's Straight, No Chaser first, rather than 1963's Monk's Dream. Great music though.Comment

Archie Shepp Quartet, "Le Matin des Noire" (Impulse - New thing at Newport 1965)
This used to be played as intermission music at Ronnie's Old Place, late 60s, when Westbrook, Surman and Osborne etc etc played the all nighters. Good stuff.
Archie Shepp is apparently now in hospice care in Paris.

Sad news about Archie Shepp and a wonderful track, BN.Originally posted by BLUESNIK'S REVOX View Post
I saw him only once, at JazzExpo '67(Hammersmith Odeon) with the Miles Davis Quintet on the bill.
Shepp's group started a mass exodus but I found their performance electrifying.
Here's the same Shepp band around the same time playing 'One For The Trane'.
Apparently, Shepp's tenor solo on 'The Shadow Of Your Smile' inspired the title of Frank Zappa's album 'Hot Rats'!

That's great 👍
Shepp and Mal Waldron in 2002, "Left Alone" (Left Alone Revisited). For someone who was considered ferocious etc in the 1960's, he became a hugely sensitive player later when required and the mood took. And the technique itself was hard worked upon to do it. Quite a legacy.
