  • These are all fantastic albums: I don't mean to argue, but I've never understood the fascination with this album. I remember reading through a top jazz albums of all time list, possibly published by AMG or NPR (who has a book on jazz). This …

  • Haven't heard this one, but hubbards 1970 albums on CTI "Red Clay" and "Straight Life" are great early fusion/jazz-funk. Why couldn't CTI have continued to put out records of these type? Just found Freddie Hubbard/Stanley Turrentine Live Vol. 1 o…

  • Especially "Folklore" I have been digging the saxophone summit tribute to Coltrane recordings too (Michael Brecker, David Liebman and Joe Lovano w/cecil mcbee on bass and billy hart on drums)
