If you don’t like it Mike I’ll buy it off you

But, but, you recommend me an LP you don’t even own ?

Jeez, with friends like you guys, or am I missing something here ? :thinking:

This thread needs more Sun Ra.

Although the specific work, I’ll leave that to the experts.

Quite a few I could recommend.

Here are just two, that spring readily to mind.

Chose these 'cos they are both vibrant & quite adventurous, yet still quite accessible to those with only a tentative acquaintance with jazz. Both are also outside the more mainstream hard bop & smooth jazz idioms.

Do they have a good live vibe / atmosphere Chris ?

:joy: :+1:

I don’t want any idioms, just Jazz :smiley:

I think so. The caveat being that the Don Ellis has perhaps more of a live feel at some expense to ultimate SQ. I think you do get some sense of still being there with Love In too, though the sound from the audience is more muted, it is a stone cold classic album tho’ regardless of being ‘live’.

This is good from a real sense of being there. Quite variable SQ throughout as it’s from quite a few different gigs. Quite hip & fairly recent too. >>

& this if you want to start getting a bit more ‘outside the box’

Well I’ve noted that the Sons of Kemet album Your Queen is a Reptile seems to have been a hit with ya, Mike. So I’ve tried to make any recommendations accordingly, in order to not put you off.
