| Jazz for aficionados I like George Coleman. A lot. On the other hand, it’s hard to argue with the perspective of Miles, Williams and Hancock. 😊. I think I get what the issue may have been for those guys. As much as I like his playing, I am seldom surprised by what Col... | |

| Jazz for aficionados I have posted cuts from this record a few times previously. Apology for the possible repetition, but this record just kills me. It is records like this that set such a high standard of modern Jazz musicianship that I can listen to it countless t... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Nice post, @stuartk . Wonderful Pharoah. Thanks for reminding me of this great record. “Rapturous” is a great way of describing his playing on it. Just beautiful. A lot of “Coltranisms” in his playing, but a vey different musical aura. Having alwa... | |
| Jazz for aficionados **** When I mentioned Canonball Aderly recording " Something Else" being a Miles recording, I was hopeful that the OP would pop up, because that was something he would not have let stand if he was around . Also, it's an awesome recording. ****... | |
