ELP Works Vol.2, although at that time I didn't realize it was jazz .. seriously

From Canterbury to Jazz wasn't a huge leap that's how it all started for me back in 75.
was also already listening Isotope. Brand x . and Stanley Clarke. The first jazz album i really fell in love with was Journey to Love By Stanley Clarke and still to this day it's one of my all time fav Jazz albums. |

I have seen that one before, I thought it was hilarious. But have you seen the interview of Patton during the Angel Dust sessions? It's quite interesting and funny to be honest.
here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TbM04nxetI It would be hard to interview this guy.  Edited by bytor2112 - 03 Dec 2012 at 11:13pm |

There's also a well known video on youtube where Patton is being interviewed and all of a sudden he hears Wolf Mother playing.
Do a search with "Mike Patton talks about Wolf Mother", I love the double take he does when he first hears them playing, "what year is this?" ...ha ha.

I didn't know about until now. It is pretty funny, I even watched a video of Mr. Bungle mocking the Red Hot Chili Peppers. It was pretty great.
I love Mike Patton's humor.

Do you know about their long running feud with the Chili Peppers over that video? If not, do some searches, its really funny.

True, it's hard not to love their first to albums. My first encounter with them however, was the Angel Dust album. It remains my favorite to this day, both versions of the band are great though.

I had a cassette of that first album for a long time, not sure if I still do or not.

Yeah, I remember Chuck, I actually preferred that version of the band, it was a little truer to what they set out to do.

Wow, that's so cool, was Chuck Mosely in the band at the time?

Ah yes, now I notice the Last FM. Faith No More eh, that goes way back, I used to know them before they hit the big time, we were in the same club scene in San Francisco, we did many shows together, those were the days, ha.

Re "Out to Lunch" - That one is unique, his other albums are good though, sort of twisted hard bop, a bit like Mingus, but "Lunch" is in a world by itself.

I believe that these musicians are mixed in Last.fm which you have.

It really is, that's actually what I'm listening to at the moment. Would you recommend any other albums by Dolphy? All I know is that sadly, he had a rather short career.

The first one has a piano player, which makes it an odd one in the early Coleman discog. I think the piano is gone by the second album, if I remember correctly.
Dolphy's "Out to Lunch" is just incredible.

Yeah, I'm really looking forward to buying Coleman's first two albums, as "The Shape" really impressed me.

Since I just got into Jazz this should be really easy.
Miles Davis - Kind of Blue Ornette Coleman - The Shape of Jazz to Come Lee Morgan - Search for the New Land Eric Dolphy - Out to Lunch
