  16. OK, thanks so much for revisiting with me, the music of my high school years.

    Let's close with a beautiful ballad: "My Funny Valentine," live at the Philharmonic Hall, Feb. 1964, NAACP benefit concert.

  21. Following up on this...the report from Tracking Angle is correct: the long-out-of-print Mosaic version of this is, indeed, significantly better sounding, for whatever reason.

  22. #NowPlaying Arcana 'The Last Wave' CD (DIW, 1996)

    Can it really be 30 years since this brilliant album was released by a superlative “power trio” (for want of a better expression) of improvisors comprising Derek Bailey, Bill Laswell and Tony Williams?

    Williams’ room-filling drumming is such a brilliant foil for the shards of Bailey’s explosive electric guitar attack. So sad that the former died the following year, aged just 51.

  27. The logical next music to visit with, after "Filles de Kilimanjaro," is "In a Silent Way" (1969). Listen to "It's About that Time." Miles hasn't hooked up a wa-wa pedal yet, but Wayne has switched to soprano, and McLaughlin has arrived. The sound is evolving quickly.

  37. Miles Davis - The Complete Live at the Plugged Nickel 1965

    Slowly working my way through this huge 10LP set of the Second Great Quintet (Miles Davis/Herbie Hancock/Wayne Shorter/Ron Carter/Tony Williams) push-push-PUSHing towards a new way of playing, namely: if you're bored with what's expected, do the opposite.

    It can skirt right up to free playing, but then gets reined in...
