Released 1996 - Garrett creates a loving tribute, one that is respectful to Coltrane's legacy but one that doesn't mimic his sound. Great album..????

On the eve of a new year, it's time for a new thread.
Last year's thread can be found here:
Prompted by Jeroen this fine album from 2015.
Now Playing.......
Tomasz Stanko - Suspended Nights
Tomasz Stanko (trumpet), Marcin Wasilewski (piano), Slawomir Kurkiewicz (double-bass) and Michal Miskiewicz (drums).
Streaming on TIDAL.......... Spending some time on this Sunday morning with the horn sections and the trumpets are sounding mighty sweet!
This masterwork from the delux version which is derived from a 1965 tape which lacked the equalisation and compression of earlier digital versions, which came from a flawed 1971 master tape. It is so much more pleasurable to listen to and seems to make more sense. I'll have to compare it with my vinyl copy to see which I prefer.

Fancied a bit of Zep this evening. Always thought that Black Dog was a terrific way to open, followed by the energetic Rock & Roll. And, of course, Stairway to Heaven is one of the classic Zep numbers.

CBS vinyl
Why? Because I'm having one.
