Hello everyone! @supervai: we'll see what we can do... @muito: if you don't like fusion, there's nothing to be done; it's not even worth trying this record... Strange though that you like Coleman’s work (with Prime Time, I assume) and don’t like electric Davis... I don’t think they’re that different... Anyway, my nickname comes from a character in Stephen King's "The Dark Tower" series. Wikipedia explains everything (perhaps too much). Egberto Gismonti is a genius to me, a musician who transcends any category, even though I don't really like all of his work. He also intimidates me quite a bit; I don’t know if I’ll ever have the courage to approach him... I’m glad you liked Marcio Faraco; I’d also like to review him in the future. Finally, regarding "the deal" we mentioned in private, I'm getting organized, but I think we'll talk about it again next week. Bye!

Hi Thirdeye, I recommend the first "Yellow Jackets." Then there's a particular album, a bit outside the usual fusion patterns, in which some tracks also feature an orchestra, called "Greenhouse," and it's also reviewed here on Debaser... And to wrap it up nicely, there's the 25th anniversary album "Twenty-five," which also has a DVD (though I haven't seen it).

Look, I’m downloading Dr. Adder by K.W. Jeter... So I’ll finally understand who the heck you are! ;-)

William Shatner's "belly" was second only to that of the lead character in the "Batman" TV show... but indeed, for the time, the story and special effects were outstanding...

...Everyone on the day trip today? ;-)

Great class, captivating melodies, chilling "Summer." Refined string orchestration, but it risks flattening all the tracks a bit. For the rest, great.

When I think of Tenco (who, like Bruno Lauzi and Gino Paoli, had a jazz background), I first think of his music before his voice. His compositions, seemingly simple, are actually rich in small harmonic inventions, musically very interesting; in fact, many of our local jazz musicians have covered them. A noteworthy album on this subject is "Tiziana Ghiglioni canta Luigi Tenco," and then there’s "Danza di una Ninfa" by Ada Montellanico and Enrico Pieranunzi. A good mention, albeit a somewhat concise review.

Beautiful, although I might have a slight preference for the previous "Anthem"... And then we have that unbeatable benchmark that is "Solo Concert..."

Great album, even though I think Towner has done better.

Excellent proposal, well done.
