All That Jazz ...

Audiolab 9000N
I've just got my hands on pure Gold.
All three marathon Prestige sessions recorded by the Miles quintet, in the original order they were recorded...in one box set! Straight to the top of my spin list. Miles, Cookin', Relaxin', Workin' and Steamin' in the track order they should have been released with.

Nikhil’s post above got me thinking of a time when I wasn’t a big fan of trio albums. I felt quartets and quintets offered a richer sonic soundscape. Then I realized that the Jimi Hendrix Experience was only 3 guys, and no lack of pyrotechnics there! Since then, I’ve made it a point to seek out jazz trios that rock the house.

So, here’s my ‘Top 10 Trio Albums For People Who Don’t Like Trios’

That's interesting. I never really made that distinction between Trios and Quartets/Quintets.
But thanks to a discussion Piano Trios on another forum I've picked up on a lot of Trios in the recent past.

Congrats Jayant! That looks like a great box set!
Coincidentally I had recently listened to"Cookin" and "Relaxin" ... great stuff.

Thanks Nikhil! Having heard the original albums as Prestige had curated the songs in their own jumbled order, I wanted this set to hear the original marathon sessions the way they were recorded. No doubt great stuff :)
 
Going off topic for a second, but this came to mind after seeing Jayant’s latest treasure. It’s a gift that I received from a friend earlier this year:

Someone did a mashup of these two images below, and turned it into a painting.

I‘ve been visualizing the scene as Miles and Trane taking a taxi home at 4 am, having just finished recording Kind of Blue. But, perhaps, it was a Prestige session? :)

That picture speaks a thousand blue notes - just love it !
 
You wont believe it..but i was suspecting this all along. Not the bit about the opioids - though that’s interesting too - but the one about the feathered songsters belting out free jazz in the mornings.

Why do birds sing? Because they’re all on drugs

The dawn chorus is created by birds chasing their next hit of opioid, according to a US biologist. Which explains why it’s so much like free-form jazz

Hey @moktan
Talking of opioids, your avatar pic on mobile (small screen) looks very much like a "bud"
I had to get onto the laptop to check if my eyes were playing tricks on me :D

Cheers,
Raghu

The next time someone mentions Bird and Diz...
 
Thanks to Bloom83 mentioning jazz soundtracks recently, this weekend‘s listening session had a new Top 10 theme :)

Wish I had ‘Breathless’ to add to the list. Just love that soundtrack.
Also, this is a good compilation cd I’ve posted before. It’s still available on the MoMA website:

Today I’ve got a new double LP of Errol Garner’s Concert by the Sea.
Anybody else having this LP - It’s Sony DADC reissue.
Reason I’m asking is I want to check something regarding the sound quality.
