Dave Holland - Conference of the BIrds

Essential Jazz here. Liberated sounding (Free), but there is organization and unification of the members. David Holland is the bassist and leader. Anthony Braxton is here again, playing reeds and flute with Sam Rivers while Barry Altschul plays the percussion.

This album as been called a good introduction to the avant-garde form. make of that what you will. ....   ..

Jack DeJohnette - Pictures

Jack DeJohnette - Pictures
Jack DeJohnette.
Drummer. American. Jazz guy. Played with a bunch of notable jazzers (Miles Davis; Chick Corea; Keith Jarrett; you know, those kinda guys). He is still alive after more than seventy years in this world.

Pictures.
This is a cassette rip. 1977. A few 'Pictures' Jack made with a little help from his pal John Ambercrombie (Guitars). DeJohnette himself plays the drums as well as piano and organ and is solo on most of the tracks. Things get a bit 'abstract,' but nothing too far out. This comes from the ECM label, which produced some of the best noisy, chaotic, awesome jazz there was during the 70's.
