Oh I was only 24 hours from Tulsa Ah only one day away from your arms
You are giving me flashbacks to my stepdad’s Gene Pitney collection.
Well, It would be a good dedication to Burt Bacharach who we lost earlier this year.
My first Gene Pitney album with Hal & Burt's Only Love Can Break a Heart & The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. He was the greatest of them all. Oops, bravest/greatest- Burt was that!!
Sometimes my filing system fails me. At first I didn't know what this was (except it being an iteration of the Chicago Underground) then I wondered why I hadn't "hard filed" it in the correct place. Then I discovered I had two versions in six different places. (With physical media I think my "record" is buying the same cd three times.)
Anyway although there isn't a lot of Pharoah on this disc Rob Mazurek and the boys pull out all the stops for a fairly psychedelic cosmic jazz trip. Clean Feed, 2014.
"Wisdom Of The Elders" and "We Are Sent Here By History" by Shakaba And The Ancestors.
Some of the best Avant Garde Jazz I have ever heard with strong elements of Afro Jazz.
AMG says "We Are Sent Here by History is final proof that Hutchings is a modern jazz prophet; he sees the past as merely a jumping-off point for exploration, not only in music but in philosophical concepts, cultural theories, and spiritual precepts as an aesthetic. With the Ancestors he goes further toward creating a holistic new jazz than with any of his other ensembles."
Shabaka Hutchins is perhaps best known as a member of the bands The Comet Is Coming and Sons Of Kemet
"Rip, Rig and Panic/Now Please Don't You Cry, Beautiful Edith" a compilation of two excellent Avant Garde/Post Bop Jazz albums by the Rahsaan Roland Kirk Quartet from 1965 and 1967
Automatic Fine Tuning s/t Progressive Rock album from 1976
ProgArchives says "In 1976, guitarists Paul A. MacDONNELL and Robert CROSS, bass player Trevor DARKS and drummer/vocalist Dave BALL joined their considerable skills and produced one of the great but nearly forgotten heavy progressive projects, AUTOMATIC FINE TUNING. Doing an early form of neo-classical instrumental rock......the quartet boldly went where few rock ensembles had and recorded one brilliant album before disbanding."
"Enigmatic" and "Niemen (Czerwony)" Progressive/Jazz Rock albums by Polish artist Czeslaw Niemen which came out in 1970 and 1971.
Outstanding but relatively unknown albums which are rated by ProgArchives in the top 25 and top 50 in what many would regard as two of the best ever years for Progressive Rock.
Enigmatic is one of those very very famous albums that in reality only maybe a couple of thousand hard core music nerds around the world have ever heard. It's a great record! (And I'm a great {music} Nerd!)
Czesław Niemen was someone I got introduced to just about the time that Enigmatic album came out. His stuff was played often on a radio show I grew up with in the early 70s. I think Urbaniak on that album IIRC. Have to revisit it.

The one with the most replies by Sunday is next year’s thread.
Well both my suggestions but seeing as I left the Tulse Hill area not that long ago I'll go with 24/Tulsa unless someone has a genius suggestion soon.
