I shall never listen to them but they apparently show the turbulence and stylistic unhappiness in his work at that time.
After these recordings he came home and took to the bridge.

More from the forgotten world.
Another from the Harry Lim Famous Door label…
Cal Collins has a good country twang to his tone. He started in C&W.
He had a longish history working for Carl Jefferson at Concord.
Of Carmen Leggio I know little,you can hear a Rollins influence but John Bunch is one of my favourites.
All these productions sound fine and are on Qobuz.

If you have something to recommend to me then do so and say why it you think it’s good. I might give it a listen. If you’re just trying to bait me I’m not playing. I have better things to do with my free time.

Genuinely give Son of Neckbone a spin on the NDX2.
It is from a period when that band started jamming on acoustic instruments in a jazz idiom, with a rap and punky sensibility.

And not so seriously, there is the classic, the original, and still the best!
Innocence and sheer exuberance.
OK….after I finish enjoying this brand new arrival. Friday release day. Always a good day. Don Cherry Where is Brooklyn, Blue Note Records. This is the new reissue on Blue Note Classics, mastered by Kevin Gray. This is an excellent example of mid-60s avant-garde jazz.

This is a fun and funky rap.
If you feel like it, play each of these tracks until you are not enjoying each one and see if you listen to any of them right through…
Again, this one is a superbly delivered story as poem, via soundscape, probably the best rap I know of.
If this doesn’t do it…
No. If you’re just trying to get me to listen to rap, I’m really not that interested. Sorry. Maybe you should start a rap music thread. I’ve heard rap for years and it’s just annoying, IMO.
