Hi Raul,

My pleasure and I hope more music lovers will find and continue to add to this great thread.

As always

ill mention one real joint album not becuz hes the best but diddnt noticed anyone mention this peace of art...Clark Terry Color changes...becuz of thislike albums i love that music...and i must thanx all crew thats posting...this post helped me to digg some real gems of albums...enjoy...

Never seen this mentioned. Toshiko Akiyoshi Big Band is very good. Good straight ahead jazz mixed with Japanese influences. "Long Yellow Road" is an excellent album.

Barney Wilen Quartet "New York Romance" is very nice album. Released on Venus label, which puts out well- recorded stuff.

Pnmeyer,

If you like Barney Wilen, I would strongly recommend Miles Davis phenomenal album, 'Lift to the Scaffold'. It is the soundtrack for the Loius Malle Movie, Ascenseur pur L'echaud and you can get 'the complete original recordings' on a recent Fontana vinyl pressing. I know I have mentioned this earlier in this fine thread.

Neverthelss, the duets here between Davis and Wilen are still the most haunting music I have ever heard: tracks 2 and 11 on Side 1 and tracks 2, 3, 6 and 8 on Side 2 are quite stunning. Assuming you do not already own this album, it really is a 'MUST HAVE'.
