Hi Steve,

Preston 1980 is also Tangerine Tree 16, Paris (Bataclan) 1981 was originally released as Tangerine Tree 14 (one of my favourites) and Aachen was Tangerine Leaves 7.

Thanks SJ,

Good information, I do have Paris Bataclan 1981 as TT v.14 which I agree is very good but don't have either Aaachen or Preston are they worth seeking out?

I think I bought the Aachen disc because there was a c*ck up with the early Bootmoon releases and they mistakenly packaged a disc of each concert in the Paris and Aachen sets. I recall that the SQ of the Aachen concert was poorer than the Bataclan concert asit was from an audience tape source. The Preston release is similar to the Paris set (i.e. several pieces from "Thief" plus the unreleased "Silver Scale")  plus the usual special piece for that venue "The Football Museum".

My other favourite Bootmoon release was Brighton 1986 which concentrated on the "Underwater Sunlight" album.

......next up

Armen Donelian (keyboards, piano), Carl Morten Iversen (bass), and Audun Kleive (drums)

Description from Tidal: Armen Donelian, a fine pianist born in Armenia but long a resident of the United States, has been both underrated and well documented ever since moving to the U.S. This excellent outing features him stretching out on six originals and three standards in a trio with bassist Carl Iversen and drummer Audun Kleive. While "Season's Change" is reminiscent of Chick Corea's "Spain" in spots, the other originals are less derivative, Donelian comes up with fresh variations to the standards and the interplay between the musicians is consistently impressive. This set serves as an excellent introduction to Donelian's playing. ~ Scott Yanow

Quite enjoying this trio, lovely flow between the piano, bass and drums. The opening track, 'Song With No Name' settles you right in to the journey.....

Night session - Chris Botti. Nice music for relaxation after squash. 

Lloyd Cole - Love Story

A+3 | WAV

(1968)

Because some more old Doors are required. This one from a great sounding original 1985 Elektra Asylum CD.

Benny Green - These are soulfull days

Benny Green leading a piano trio with Russell Malone on guitar and Christian McBride on bass.

From allmusic.com:

As part of Blue Note's 60th anniversary gala, Benny Green was invited to record a selection of his favorite tunes from the label's venerable catalog. Green picked eight songs previously recorded by the likes of Horace Silver, Lee Morgan, Joe Henderson, and Dexter Gordon, then he recruited bassist Christian McBride and guitarist Russell Malone. Together, they recorded These Are Soulful Days, a splendid tribute to the glory days of Blue Note, when excellent hard bop musicians ruled the roster. Like the classic albums from the late '50s and early '60s, These Are Soulful Days clocks in at an economical 45 minutes and feels intimate. All eight songs were recorded directly to two-track, giving the music an immediate, vibrant feel. Since Green decided not to choose well-known standards, the songs are fresh, which is only appropriate, since the trio gives performances that are steeped in tradition, yet remain lively and unpredictable. At its best, These Are Soulful Days feels like a lost classic from the Blue Note vaults, and that's the highest praise that can be said about a project like this.

John Coltrane - Live at the Village Vanguard. 24/192 flac. Rec. Nov. 1961 with Eric Dolphy, rel. March 1962 amidst some controversy - as it crushed  critics' ' Jazz boundaries'. His first live one and the first to feature the members of what became his  'classic quartet' .

Was listening to Morrison Hotel last night. The Doors are always excellent IMO.

An excellent live album from Charles Lloyd's quartet.

Thanks for that, much as I love them I'll probably give those a miss, I'm chest deep in Tangerine Dream/Tree/Leaves.
