not going to win third over with this one, but this is dissensus canon. the star above bethlehem we all flock to, whether shepherd or magi.
starting out on my cosmic jazz quest beginning of the 2ks a mate introduced me to electric miles which blew my head off, first as a drummer and 2nd because it made sense of so much beat based music i'd been listening to up until then. yesternow was the track. can still remember sitting in his office in covent garden listening to all 18mins of it waiting for it to kick in, but loving how it just wouldn't. staying on that groove. that live loop. instant convert. within weeks, all over the place, alice coltrane, archie shepp, yusef lateef, roland kirk and of course pharoah. alice got me good because of the hindustani trip i was on at the time but when i heard greeting to saud everything changed. no other piece of music says what it says so sweetly, so concisely, so rightly. it's sublime. saw him at the jazz cafe and even at his advanced age he still possessed that same unfiltered spirit. bought a ticket for the next night and went again. still a fave gig ever.
anyway, where were we? oh yeah, pianos
