Opening a 1974 original sealed copy of Atmospheres - “Voyage to Uranus”. Smokin set of jazz fusion featuring John Abercrombie, Ralph Towner, Clive Stevens, Stu Woods, and Michael Carvin. This is a fire record that cruises under the radar. #jazz#jazzfusion#VinylCollection
Calling #MilesDavis & #jazz experts. I can't find any reference to Bitches Brew having different mixes, but I'm listening to the original 3 ¾ ips, ¼" reel-to-reel release (Columbia H2C 33) from 1970 and it's clearly different from other versions: More trumpet effects, reverb, etc. The tracks are also different lengths: Pharoah's Dance, for example, is 30 secs shorter on the reel than the CD release. #jazzfusion
Good heavens, what a year for experimentation and new sounds. Not pictured, you also have: Transformer (Lou Reed), Harvest (Neil Young), Ziggy Stardust (David Bowie), Thick as a Brick (Jethro Tull), Neu!, World Galaxy (Alice Coltrane), Ege Bamyasi (Can), Talking Book (Stevie Wonder), Let My Children Hear Music (Charles Mingus), The Godfather soundtrack... #vinyl#music#jazz#progrock#jazzfusion#rock#avantgarde#soundtrack#krautrock#nowplaying
Bought this the day it arrived at my local record store. They unpacked it and put it on while I was browsing - I bought it off them before the staff had heard it all the way through.
Look, the tight execution, sense of musical restraint and, of course, the lack of actual jamming means that "No Obsession" from @stereopolarity is NOT jam band music. That said, it features the same core fusion of jazz and funk, with just a touch of rock and some electronics, that powers nearly all jam bands -- and, to be completely honest, this tune would be fucking sick if it was jammed out to deep space and back.
Irrespective of genre, they didn't half love a fantasy-art album cover in the 1970s...
Everything from #jazz & #jazzfusion (Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock) to #rock & #heavymetal (Queen, Boston, Uriah Heep, Deep Purple, Iron Maiden) to #progrock (Yes, Genesis) and #electronica /#ambient (Jean Michel Jarre, Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze). And pop culture in general was awash with 'Lord of the Rings' type artwork. #graphicdesign#illustration
