Pierre Moerlen's Gong...........1979 on vinyl

Quote

Pierre Moerlen's Gong is a jazz fusion outfit which is very different from the first incarnation of Gong, the psychedelic space-rock act led by Daevid Allen. It is notable for the prominent use of mallet percussion, such as marimba, xylophone, and vibraphone featured in a rock/jazz context, making for a very distinctive and unusual sound that could have been classified as warmer and more melodic than most typical fusion could be, and is comparable to the sort of fusion-influenced output many bands on the Canterbury scene were producing at around this time.

I thought that this is worthwhile posting,

as I can think of no finer example of Jazz Swing.

Today's $2 Goodwill score!

Great live music.
1st 3 tracks recorded 1963 at Newport,

4th track at Village Vanguard 1961

1961 at the VV!? Why?! What is the point?!

A masterpiece for sure. Brilliant. Perhaps Freddie Hubbard's best as a side man, perhaps even as leader. Tony Williams is astounding on this release. All great tunes written by Hancock.

BTW, that Coltrane "Newport '63" I posted above, Roy Haynes is on drums as Jones was in drug rehab at the time (what I've read). For you Coltrane fans, "My Favorite Things", ever heard of it?

Well, if you don't have this version you need to get it!

Very different and interesting with Haynes at the sticks. He is so light and quick compared to Jones. Also, perhaps one, if not the, best playing of MFT by Coltrane as well. I'm serious.

Highly recommended!

OK, so Freddie Hubbard was so good on that Hancock release it made me grab a Freddie Hubbard

And since Tina Brooks was on that FH release, I now have to get a Tina release
(funny how that happens, eh? playlist determined by sidemen. love it!)

Blue Mitchell did a real nice job on that Tina Brooks release, I'll have to go here next

(care to guess who'll be my next after this one?

)
