Tod Gustavsen trio and EST are very near in the type of music, not?
Yes, quite similar in tone and style.

No I think they are very very different. Tord is about nice melodies, quiet music, sometimes spare notes.
E.s.t. Is about intense flow, use of electronic distortion, taking it to the edge - almost electronic sometimesā¦

Yes, after Iād written that about the two trios being quite similar I thought of all the differences between them.
But they are similar to one another in tone and style than they are to Dire Straits or Queen or Bruce Spingsteen!

itās the music of miles in the 70ās. Pete Cosey was the guitarist on Agharta and other albums. Henry Kaiser made some albums called Yo Miles.
Yes, thereās lots of his music on Tidal.
Just listening to The Deep Unreal.
Reminds me of the all guitar LPs by Robert Fripp and Andy Summers.
With a touch of John Martyn.

Yo Miles, Sky Garden, Yo Miles/ Up river are my favorite. The discography is huge, some albums are a bit on the LSD side, if you understand me. But i donāt know them all.

Is there a really good documentary on Miles that you know of?

Hey Bert thanks for flagging this album up.
I had once or twice dipped into it before and watched some est live vids on YouTube, but Iād never Til now listened to this LP right thru.
It is superb.
Jim
Yes, you kindly added pictures of those books above.
I hope to one day read his bookā¦
Do you think he was as good as Mozart?
strange question Jim. One thing i can respond : i never listen to Mozart.
Both are genius.
I agree. Closer to EST in style is NAIM records own ;

Highly recommended.
Marcin Wasilewski trio. The trio which played on Manu Katche albums.
You will tell me @BertBird or @Peet or @JimDog if itās closer to EST or Todd G.
I donāt like so much to put things in buckets. But I think this wonderful trio has different interesting ingredients. Nice and lyrical melodies, tight rhythm section. Somewhere between fully written down music and fully free music. They are definitely belonging to one of my favorite jazz ensembles.
