Superb Jazz Album....I also thank Matt for putting it back on my radar !!!!! Now if I could only find Cumbia Jazz fusion by Sir Mingus ????

COMUS - FIRST UTTERANCE (1971)
Another interesting English folk rock group I've found !...except this one is different...dark and haunting yet beautiful ! Cult following even today and an ifluence of Opeth.

On the laptop.

Classic Jazz album as vigorously exalted by Matthew, from 1963.

Faintly avant-garde '60s Jazz, that's eminently listenable.

Even via laptop speakers, it's easy to tell there's something very interesting about this music. Don't quite know what it is yet, but I'm sure I'm going to find out.

Straight onto the Buy List. Thanks Matthew...


AllMusic 5/5 stars.

Glad to see I could turn some other people on that album. Trust me, it gets better with each listen

I ordered a CD copy yesterday, Matt.

Looking forward to hearing it at volume...

"The dual slide guitars of Delta Moon carry the listener deep into the heart of the American South, where sinuous Mississippi blues meets the gritty backwoods twang of Appalachia and winds around a rock-steady beat like kudzu on a barbwire fence."

One my favorite blues bands.

Chess Records' 2-disc set paying tribute to one of the giants of the Blues.

Dixon wasn't really a front-man - although there are a handful of his own releases here - but he wrote or co-wrote many of the classics of the Blues, and played double-bass on most of the selections here, until electric bass became pre-eminent.

Featured artists include Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf, Koko Taylor, Bo Diddley, Lowell Fulson, Otis Rush, Little Walter, & Sonny Boy Williamson II.

Those of you with a taste for late '60s UK Blues will recognise songs popularised by Cream, The Rolling Stones, and in particular Led Zeppelin. In fact, a lot of Zeppelin's first two albums are to be found here.

Great collection of great Blues.

Albert Ayler-In Greenwich Village

I'd never listened to Ayler before, but I'd often read he was very controversial. I can see why, this easily amongst the most intense jazz recordings I've ever heard

[SteveO]

I have some Albert Ayler and listen to Eric Dolphy as well as ANTHONY BRAXTON...there are so many great players ! Steve Lacy is another of those "intense" players .......enjoy !
