One of my favorite incarnations of the Jazz Messengers. This set features the 1958 Jazz Messengers live in Paris stretching out on 11 songs. Trumpeter Lee Morgan, tenor saxophonist Benny Golson and pianist Bobby Timmons formed a potent team, backed up by bassist Jymie Merritt and the powerful drumming of leader Art Blakey. This set gives one a definitive look at the influential band.

Peter Brotzmann / Fred Hopkins / Hamid Drake - The Atlanta Concert [ODL 10006 ]

A pretty hard to find record these days. LP rip was done by me. If you're familiar with Peter Brotzmann and don't have it you should. If you're not familiar then it's a decent place to start. The rhythm section allows him to be more accesible to the casual listener rather than for diehard fans only. Not a four star releases but a solid 3.5 in my books and well worth having. Also notable as the last recording featuring Fred Hopkins.

HAKON KORNSTAD TRIO + AXEL DORNER - LIVE IN KONGSBERG

This comes from a limited edition double LP in my collection. I did the LP _ CDR _MP3 conversion myself. Hakon Kornstad ain't no household name but he is nonetheless a great sax player. He is in great company here with his regular trio of Mats Eilertsen & Paal Nilssen-Love along with very special guest Axel Dorner for this festival event.

Side A

Fib - Love Space

Side B

Revolver - Rubb

Side C

Hedd - Keep Your Heart Right

Side D

Afrika!

Hakon Kornstad - tenor sax

Axel Dorner - trumpet

Mats Eilertsen - bass
