well, a charles tolliver double-header is a fine way to hit 500 posts!
the first show, from 1969, is a phenomenal recording. as someone commented on dime, when it was shared a few years ago,
listening now, great stereo sound, good enough for a commercial release. sounds fantastic, swings like crazy.
i can say the same right now! and it goes for the second show, from 1971, which is maybe a lot more “tolliver-ish” (yes. btw, i see that the ’69 show is “all compositions by charles tolliver), and which i think that i prefer. i’ve been listening to very little except charles tolliver or the radio (which was sadly lacking any charles tolliver!)
btw, we now have a presence on mastodon, @cipjazz@mas.to
