Two terrific CDs just spun, one old, one new(ish) ...

And Elephant9 with Terje Rypdal, "Catching Fire" (2017). If you've not heard Elephant9, they are an amazing Norwegian prog/psych/jazz-rock group, and Terje meshes/heightens quite well (even at his age of 70!) on this collaboration. New-ISH, as this live set was recorded back in 2017, but only just released last year. F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C !!! A MUST HAVE for any prog/jazz/rock fan. Guaranteed!

Good to see you back rockaD

Very well recorded and pressed. Incredible sound staging.

Roland Kirk, a two-fer on one disc, "Rip, Rag, & Panic" (1965), and also, "Now Please Don't You Cry, Beautiful Edith" (1967).

I ordered the Elephant 9 cd, the Amazon sample was interesting

Wow, Gerry - another hidden gem from someone that I had never heard of. My jaw dropped about 3:45 in when the guitar solo started, and stayed down when the piano came in for the first time. In addition to the virtuoso leading things, this is most obviously an incredibly talented group of musicians. I'm on track 4 now, and I know that I won't be switching to another album until I've heard this one in its entirety. This guy's (and his bandmates) playing is truly special.

Frustratingly, Qobuz (as is the case most of the time) doesn't provide any band member credits. I'll be saving this to my favorites and looking them up later today or over the weekend for sure.

Thanks for another fantastic rec!

Jeff....I hadn't heard of this artist either, but I read a review in the latest issue of Stereophile and searched it out on Tidal. The band members are: Tamir Hendelman- Piano, Larry Koonse-Guitar, Alex Frank-Bass, and Joe LaBarbera-Drums.
