[Blue Note: recorded November/December, 1974; released May, 1975.] One of those albums where jazz, funk, soul meld and the result retains artistic value.

Listening to this as I type. FUNKY!

Thanks....

Hey Dave222, that album cover that you posted reminds me of this:

[Edition of Contemporary Music: released November, 1972.]

"Seeker" from Carbon Based Lifeforms Seeker

[Contemporary: recorded November, 1960; released February, 1963.] A great, swinging album by an under-appreciated quartet. Art Pepper is (was) one of the few alto saxophone players, to my ears, who did not sound like - or sought to emulate - Charlie Parker.

I am always looking for new music. Nothing like the buzz one gets from discovering music that you like that's also new to you. I recognize that I do have a taste-bias toward guitar-centered music. I would say that I have been expanding recently in an ambient electronic, "dark jazz" kind of direction. Bands like Flunk, Khruangbin, Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble, Dark Orchard, Zeleinople are all really new to me, and I am really digging their music. I have posts in this wonderful thread to thank for my explorations in this new territory. Doesn't mean that I like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Cream, Traffic, Steppenwolf, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, David Bowie, Jeff Beck, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Steely Dan, Bob Marley, The Clash, Talking Heads, U2, Dire Straits, The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, The Cure, nine inch nails, Radiohead, or Modest Mouse any less! I have never understood my friends whose musical preferences never evolved beyond high school. Nothing worse than being close-minded to new music...

This is exactly what this hobby is all about for me, getting lost in the constant discovery of music.

For example, I’ve been exploring a lot of South American music recently, here are 3 absolute gems:

I'm with Miles - I'll just call it 'music' and not worry about whether to call it 'jazz', 'rock', or anything else. It's electric Miles music; it's its own genre!
I agree about the 'head and acid music' - that's why I like it!
I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on a re-listen to 'Crossings'. I hope you enjoy it more this time!

The labels aren't for me, its for those who might wonder what type of music a particular album is. In the end If it's good music what does the label matter

Anyway, I'm simply expressing the way I classify Miles's music. You may see it differently, and that's ok too.

I'll give Crossing another listen when I get the chance.

And a great album that is

Herbie Hancock Crossing (1973)...

I gave Crossing another listen on Spotify. It's ok. There are some nice passages within Sleeping Giant and Water Torture that I like but overall, it's not an album I'm running out to get. For me, it's hard to find any sort of rhythm to hang onto. Was the same feeling I had the first time I heard it.

Perhaps an album one should have in their collection, but that would basically be the only reason I'd buy it. But that's me.

BTW, listening to his Maiden Voyage album, which I like.
