Would be great to see some Nina Simone & Billie Holiday too, no idea if folks could agree on favourite albums though.

For any fans of cheapness out there who haven't heard Herbie Hancock's Crossings, I bought it yesterday for £1.69 from the Amazon MP3 store. Also got Pharoah Sanders' Black Unity album for £0.69.

Re: the discussion long ago about expectations of hearing Ornette the first time - I had this too to a certain extent but it works in steps, right? I mean they were the first *free* band but they were still used to working with each other and knowing what each other was doing within jazz conventions, right? It wouldn't be till later that dudes would just tear it up for the sake of it, whereas those Ornette records still have a sense of "hey he's ripping it, i best stand back" etc.

No, you just go through the checkout in the normal way and then the file starts downloading. Think you might have to install the download program the first time round though, can't remember.

My first Cecil record. I'd duly absorbed Ayler and late-period Coltrane for a year prior to hearing this, but this confused the shit outta me. Once the confusion passed, I couldn't stop listening to it.

someone should do a jazz covers poll, divided up into spiritual hat and non-spiritual hat.
― Neil S, Friday, 2 September 2011 14:32 (twelve years ago) link
seandalai is doing a spiritual hat poll after this but he's worried over arguments over 'but that isn't a jazz hat' type comments
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Friday, 2 September 2011 14:35 (twelve years ago) link
xp I was going to poll all the hat covers.

If we descend to the level of arguing whether a given headpiece is a hat or not then we all deserve to die.

I'd say either Unit Structures or Conquistador! is the place to start for small-group Cecil. xp
― shake it, shake it, sugary pee (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Friday, 2 September 2011 15:01 (twelve years ago) link
Destination Out is great. McLean, Hutcherson, and Moncur collaborated on a few records around this time, maybe most notably Moncur's two GREAT records "Evolution" and "Some Other Stuff." If I'd gotten my act together to vote for this, both of those would have made my top 20 easy (Some Other Stuff probably top ten).
I saw the reunited band in Grant Park in Chicago in the 90s. Everyone was great, except Moncur. Nevertheless a great event.
― broom air, Friday, 2 September 2011 15:03 (twelve years ago) link
cool, yeah moncur's records are ones i've been meaning to get to.
― tylerw, Friday, 2 September 2011 15:06 (twelve years ago) link
It will blow your mind!
― broom air, Friday, 2 September 2011 15:13 (twelve years ago) link
The Moncur Mosaic Select set is probably the way to go: has Evolution, Some Other Stuff, and the McLean records he's on.
― shake it, shake it, sugary pee (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Friday, 2 September 2011 15:14 (twelve years ago) link
aren't all the mosaic boxes long OOP?
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Friday, 2 September 2011 15:20 (twelve years ago) link
Nope, some of them are just "Running Low."
― Olivia Newsun John (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 2 September 2011 15:20 (twelve years ago) link
the "select" boxes are usually more available, i think. this one is on amazon, anyway. but i think i could get all the albums it covers for cheaper separately. anyway, listening to Destination Out right now -- sounding awesome.

maybe a little bit challopsy, but i've never gotten too into brilliant corners, something about it seems like a bit of a chore, it's missing the humor/playfulness of my favorite monk recordings? I don't know, maybe it'll click at some point.
