Oliver,

I do have the XRCD on this as well but the 45 reissue just kills it.

Julie Driscoll/Brian Auger & The Trinity - Jools.

This is a double CD of Open & Definitely What! remastered with extra tracks.

Would be of interest to James Taylor Quartet & Corduroy fans. Winker

Sure is a lovely relaxing album.

Now for me, On ECM, the first Keith Jarrett album I bought in 1991

How's that, Adrian ? Saw Hassell, last year in Frankfurt, and was moved by the intensity of his playing (you hardly hear him, unfortunately) I have his records, since long, but always keep a rest of doubt whether he's a genius or a sharlatan. What's your take ?

cheers
Stefan

Are you saying, it wasn't the Köln concert that introduced you to KJ's work ? You're a rare species, then... Smile

Stefan - it is a good mood album. Electronics, atmospherics with trumpet. More atmospherics than harmonics but I like it a lot. As soon as Janes friends leave here tonight I am going to play it on the headphones in the dark. Now I think that will be a good experience.

As for whether he is a genius or charlatan, well neither to me. I have a few of his albums but I have never considered him to be a music god as others on other web forum I frequent seem to think he is. He has been quite influential and pioneering so that has given him a bit of a legendary status but he has never been one of my favourite musicians mainly as I came to his music quite late.

Good album though and worth checking out.

Now you've got me thinking there. Tribute was defintely the first Trio album of his I bought and I do think the Koln Concert came after for me but not 100% certain. The old memory is playing up a bit there....

5. Everybody Knows
6. Anthem
7. First We Take Manhattan
8. Avalanche - solo

After having sat on the shelf for quite a while as it did not make much of an initial impression on me, this has really grown on me. Getting lots of deserved airplay now.
