It's a classic, but I take Coleman and later Coltrane in small doses usually with a little whiskey. I admire both the men for what they did, but unfortunately I don't love the stuff. It's worth a good few many listens though.

Initially I found these two Blue Note titles more accessible than some of the Atlantic recordings, but over time I've found "digging" them more a hit and miss affair, depending entirely on my mood I suppose.

Something I always seem to be in the mood for and am listening to now is Sun Ra's out and out classic Jazz In Silhouette.



Pure class, especially when followed up by cool
selections from Sun Ra Visits Planet Earth
& Sound Sun Pleasure!! - as sequenced on.....

Grover Washington - Winelight

Will try to check out the sun ra album. i think that my main gripe with the coleman circle albums is the bowed bass. a little harsh to my ears.

Michel Petrucciani - So What { Best Of }

Michel Petrucciani overcame the effects of osteogenensis imperfecta (a bone disease that greatly stunted his growth) to become a powerful pianist. Originally greatly influenced by Bill Evans and to a lesser extent Keith Jarrett, Petrucciani developed his own individual voice. He started by playing in the family band with his guitarist father and bassist brother. At the age of 15 he had the opportunity to play with Kenny Clarke and Clark Terry, and at 17 he made his first recording. Petrucciani toured France with Lee Konitz in a duo (1980) and moved to the U.S. in 1982. At that time he coaxed Charles Lloyd out of retirement and toured with his quartet, a mutually beneficial relationship. Petrucciani was a strong attraction in the U.S., usually playing with a quartet (sometimes featuring Adam Holzman's synthesizer for color) or as a soloist; in 1986 he recorded at Montreux with Jim Hall and Wayne Shorter. Although Petrucciani's ability to overcome his affliction was admirable, his impressive playing stood by itself; he died of a pulmonary infection on January 6, 1999.
