Continued to some more extreme material of John...
Im listening to the television but I'd much prefer to be listening to Saxaphone Colossus which arrived yesterday & only had chance to play one side so far & very good too.
My choice tomorrow

Nice disc that Mr T Jug, ours got stuck in my trucks CD player so Im not too popular on that one, have to replace it as theres no little hole to make it force eject.
Stonkingly good on vinyl. Wall to wall with great material over four 33 rpm discs containing 23 long tracks. Great value too at (generally) a little over £30.
John.
Now Playing......
Pat Metheny and Brad Mehldau - Metheny Mehldau

Following the mention from JEROEN20 above, and loving Pat Metheny, I am taking this album out for a spin.
Double vinyl. Sounds a bit like a performance in an aircraft hangar, but fun music nonetheless.
Brilliant posted:Mahavishnu Orchestra- Inner Mounting Flame (1971)/Birds of Fire (1973. Vinyl rips.
That's two likes from me!
John McLaughlin - Extrapolation (1969)/My Goal's Beyond (1970). Vinyl rip.
Excellent recording/mastering and music - on CD.
