Genre: Jazz
Places I remember: Spellbound Wax Company (Gisborne)
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: My Favourite Things
Gear costume: Mr PC.
Active compensatory factors: Not for the faint hearted this one as Eric Dolphy and John Coltrane spar over the white heat noises fashioned by McCoy Tyner, Jimmy Garrison and Elvin Jones (credited hilariously as Elvis Jones on the sleeve). Intense!

This is a truncated version of the concert with a 'bonus' track tacked on - Impressions from a concert in Berlin. Weird.
As I say - not for the faint hearted - this is intense music played by giants of jazz. Eric Dolphy's flute playing, for instance, is beautiful, challenging, engaging and scary - all often at the same time!
Once you're in, the music takes you places - some places you never thought you'd go.
Have a go, if you think you're brave enough.
Where do they all belong? That's it for now but I keep buying Coltrane albums so this statement is of the tbc variety.
