What are you listening to in 2024 and why might anyone be interested?

I haven’t seen it with the blurry cover before. My copy shows the very brave Mrs. Cave in sharp focus. I’m not saying that’s good or bad; I’m just making an observation.

Marc Moulin - Sam’ Suffy (1974).
“Marc Moulin’s debut LP is a compelling and unique mosaic of jazz, soul, and electronic elements that employs sampled sounds and sequencers to startling effect, vividly anticipating the music of the not-so-distant future.”
Yep, that.

Yeah, see what you mean. Well she is nude so it must have been a very puritanical website. Altho wikipedia seems ok now. Or perhaps the NAIM app is censoring it? Who wants to try with a really bad picture? :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Liebman was in Miles Davis’ band in the mid-70’s and here he is joined by Charlie Haden, Don Alias and John Abercrombie for this 1975 release.

I remember when that first batch of A&M Horizons landed over here, bought the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis ‘Suite For Pops’. They set a new standard for gatefold notes over the topness (with stereo soundstage placement diagrams) and I think A&M pulled the plug after a few years having not recouped their investment. I think it was John Snyder ex of Impulse who was the driving force while it lasted.

I particularly like the two Sonny Fortunes and the Don Cherry.

Happy 77th DE! CBS UK vinyl. Mint and just two quid, IIRC. Every track a banger.
