Dear @ALFAMA, if I had been born in Northern Europe my life would have certainly been better.

Annexus Quam - Beziehungen (Ohr, 1972)

Also known as Ambition In Music, Annexus Quam (Peter Werner, Hans Kamper, Ove Volquartz, Harald Klemm, Martin Habenicht) was a collective of psychedelic music from Germany that emerged in the late sixties as a cosmic music collective but was mostly devoted to jazz sounds mixed with that sonic dimension known as kraut-rock (see particularly "Dreh dich nicht um"). The group released two albums. The second is this album released in 1972 and titled "Beziehungen," consisting of only four tracks dominated by a typically free-jazz imprint and jam band dedicated to improvisation with very particular harmonic constructions combined with a minimalism reminiscent of Philip Glass ("Trobluhs el e isch") and avant-garde experimental noise ("Leyenburg 2") which in "Leyenburg" culminates in a final surge with guitar work derived from the Hispanic tradition. Overall, in this case, it is perhaps the kraut component that is the least interesting. After all, it must be said that digging into German music from the sixties and seventies, this is not the first time one encounters such experimental recordings and groups that are also outside of those well-known canons and that, in a nevertheless parallel dimension mixed with the cosmic music of Tangerine Dream or the motorik of NEU! and the electronics of Kraftwerk, engaged in other genres like this little record here, which frankly is of disarming beauty and releases energy and feelings of freedom from the first to the last note.

Tom Waits-Come On Up To The House Tom has always known how to do grand finales, that's for sure. I would always include this track if I had to make a Greatest Hits of just 20 songs. This song has something special, something irresistible; it comes at the end and manages to stand out above a series of amazing songs that came before it.

Miles Davis Quintet - 'Round Midnight
"I absolutely loved Monk's piece, 'Round Midnight and I wanted to learn how to play it. So every evening, after I played it, I would go to Monk and ask him, 'How did I do tonight?' And he, all serious: 'Not good.' The next night, the same thing, and the night after, for several nights. He would tell me, 'That's not how you play it,' sometimes with an exasperated and wicked look on his face. Then one night I asked him again and he said, 'Yes, that's how you play it.' He made me happier than the happiest bastard, happier than a pig in shit. I had found the sound. It was one of the hardest pieces." (Miles Davis "The Autobiography with Nat Hentoff")
