Jazz for aficionados

@msbel 

Bought it.  Gosh, what tone (those sustained notes in the opening phrases of Man of Words).  I was pleased to find Eric Dolphy in the quintet.  I wonder how much he influenced the melodic but slightly dissonant themes in various of the compositions.  Some odd-ball chords for sure ;-).  Really enjoying the drumming (and I have a soft spot for trombone).  

My deepest respect and dont hesitate to communicate to us if you discover a choral music album that please you a lot...

I apologize to speak of choral music on a jazz thread ...

@mahgister-

"Who buy choral works from the Franco Flemish school ? It is so deeply genius words fail... But without education no one will discover it..."

Thanks for the schoolin'! I recently saw The Tallis Scholars, really enjoying them. I've been looking for similar music.

@mahgister -

No apologies needed...

It's this kind of cross pollination that leads to new types of music and enjoyment.

FWIW, in March I'm going to see/listen to Stile Antico.

I discovered Byrd Tallis and Purcell when i was 20...

Engraved in my soul as hot iron which never cooled since ...

Stile Antico as few others groups are like bread and wine ...

When i listen jazz very often for sure i felt great pleasure and surprize...It make me feel more dynamical... The sound texture is enebriating...

But choral music convey pure love and goes way deeper in the soul till we reach sometimes pure contemplative spirit as a boat on a calm sea lulled by voices from everywhere and nowwhere in a space with no dimensions but only meanings.

Hi - nice to hear you are getting into Booker Little.

Booker and Eric Dolphy recorded a lot together. The most known are probably the 5 Spot sessions in 1961, which some feel contributed to  heralding in the early "new thing" among other musician extending at the time.

However I strongly disagree. That was not their intent. Booker spoke extensively about this, as did Dolphy. They do stretch. Booker is a central part of Dolphy's "Far Cry" session as well. 

Another earlier Booker Little session I love is self titled on the Time label. Super melodic focusing on his tone within a more structured ensemble. Also, Craft also just reissued "Booker Little 4 and Max Roach".

He was also on many of the early Max Roach + 4 sessions, as well as Africa Brass with Coltrane,

Anyway, I gush. Thanks for the tip on Tidal. Have not really stretched out to the streamer/DAC arena, Love to though (I think :) That's for another thread eh?
