@curiousjim I've listened to about half of "1961". Good record when one is in the mood for some quiet sounds imo. Also KW's first album on ECM is "Gnu High". Very highly recommended. I think it was just reissued on vinyl. Backup group is Keith Ja...

With the idea of "less is more", here’s an interesting ECM recording. It was apparently produced by Creed Taylor in 1961, and remixed by the folks at ECM. The group is the Jimmy Giuffre 3, with Guiffre, Paul Bley and Steve Swallow. I haven’t heard...

@pjw81563 +1 on the "Stockholm 1960 Complete" set. Love it! In his solos, Coltrane does some astonishing things with harmonics!

@curiousjim He was very fine player. He's featured on a Blue Note album by Jimmy Smith entitled "The Sermon". You might check out Booker Ervin and Hank Mobley, if you haven't already done so. By the way, the folks on the ECM forum went totally b...

Heard this track on the car radio today, my good fortune: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcdOmnHverk Had never heard of tenor saxophonist Ralph Moore prior to today. Looking forward to playing his recordings.

@pjw81563 Thanks for posting the Youtube track, it's wonderful! We've got tickets for a "Love In Exile" concert with Iyer, Aroob Aftab and Shahzad Ismaily - coming up soon. Not a jazz concert, but surely improvised music. Here's a link to a perfo...
