Johnathan Blake "Trion" (Blake, drums; Chris Potter, tenor sax; Linda May Han Oh, bass--killer band!)

John Coltrane "Afro Blue Impressions" (Classic quartet live in Europe. I grew up on this album. Music gets no better.)

Brad Mehldau "The Art of the Trio, Live at the Village Vanguard, Vol. 2" (Mehldau is mind-blowing, esp. on "Countdown" when the bassist, Larry Genadier, and drummer, Jorge Rossy drop out.)

“Whisper Not”  Jarrett Peacock deJohnette

“Time Outtakes” Dave Brubeck Quartet 

“Mingus plays Piano” Charles Mingus

 

 

 

 

Charles Tolliver Live in Tokyo, Miles Davis My Funny Valentine, Cecil Taylor Cafe Montmarte, McCoy Tyner Passion Dance (Tokyo), Dolphy Copenhagen, Ethnic Heritage Ensemble (forget title, CD), Jarrett Trio w Peacock/DeJohnette Still Live,  Clifford Jordan w/Cedar Walton On Stage (Steeplechase 1975), Charles Lloyd Night in Copenhagen. SQ pretty good to great on these, considering the years and venues. Performances Tolliver, Davis, Tyner, particularly notable. 

 

Nice listings..

By chance, I stumbled over this album which I could acquire from an elder man who gave away all his vinyl records. And I like it very much indeed. Because of the 'density' I feel when listening to the vinyl record.
