I've only heard it mentioned in relation to the Beatles, indeed. Recently, I've drifted a bit away from these genres, so maybe I'll give it a quick listen in the future...

simple and super effective! I don't know, but I'm downloading it =) I've recently started getting into these genres!

you're not the only one who loves low sounds. I adore them too (not by chance, I'm a bassist) and even a certain Miles Davis (who is always involved when I write) greatly valued the contribution of the double bass/electric bass.

I’m ashamed to say that I’ve never listened to this album, nor do I know the band other than by name. Forgive me.
Ignazio Silone L'Avventura Di Un Povero Cristiano
Voto:
To dismiss similar works as filo-Catholic is superficial and is the greatest mistake one can make. I myself am almost entirely opposed to the politics (I emphasize, politics) of the Catholic Church, and Silone was too (this work is clear proof of it). Silone was a communist, of the old school, yet great importance is given to religious themes in his works. To minimize everything with a simplistic and idiotic statement is, indeed, idiotic and senseless, as well as counterproductive, because one must first deeply understand, and then criticize deeply, if and how one deems it appropriate.

nice, although a bit too derivative of 1984

No, you're not mistaken, I promised it! I thought it was appropriate to make a double review since my idea about the film is diametrically opposed to the one expressed in the other review, and since many people shared my view, I thought it was only right to put it out there!

@ holdsworth (comment 1): in the second quintet you can say a lot to him, but not that he wasn't innovative! The review, however, lacks an attention to Tony Williams, who in my opinion is the real star here (as he generally is in the albums of the second quintet)! The pianoless moments are also beautiful (Miles was really into this idea at that time...), I love them! I don't agree when you say that this is the greatest ensemble in jazz; in my opinion, there have been more important ones (including Miles's first great quintet/sextet), although this is definitely among the top five, I'd say!

No, my friends bought it for me for my birthday in February. In any case, yes, get ready for another 3857621 reviews on miles... but take it easy! I don’t feel like talking about an album after listening to it hastily, and I have little time to listen to my friend miles... but they will come, oh yes, they will come!

Well, this guy doesn't drive me crazy, but the review is beautiful.
