What's Spinning Tonight?

Just discovered Steve Hunt today on Spotify, what an amazing musician with a amazing resume and now a music Professor at Berkeley. Jazz Improv at its best! This album Kicks ass! Influences and grooves are thick on this one. Serious deep, lint in the bottom, pocket playing here.

very very excited that it's arrived. I never thought I would see the day Emancipation would be released on vinyl.
On side 2 and sound quality is excellent and maybe the best of the SST remasters based on 4 tracks at least

Last night, my listening session went something like this:

Started with Italian prog band, PFM. Their debut release, "Storia di un Minuto" on vinyl. Music does not get too much more beautiful than this.

Italian prog is woefully underappreciated. Much of it is the equal of any British band of the era.

Then, I wanted something a bit more "edgy", so I listened to King Crimson, "Larks Tongue in Aspic" on CD.

I still had the taste for something even edgier, so I went with this avant-prog gem. Thinking Plague, "The History of Madness". Atonal prog at it's best.

And finally, still in the mood for edgy, I went with a Elliott Carter, "Piano Concerto" and "Variations for Orchestra", with the Cincinnati Orchestra, with Ursula Oppens on piano.
