What do you think? If this lines up with your taste I can offer several other albums.
Sure sounds good!!!
Love this album. Having grown up in India and mother being an Indian classical musician, love the fusion of Indian ragas and the piano. Quite nice melding.
(Of course dunno where she went wrong since I grew up to be a western classical violinist.)
Glad you enjoy it. Vijay’s Tirtha is one that got by me, soon to be remedied. We were fortunate enough to have Vijay play in the Circle Round solo and as a follow-up in trio form. Both performances were exceptional!
Vijay was here in Santa Fe with his trio early last year but I missed it. Will have to look out for the next time.
Miles From India, a triple LP I have, may be a bit of a stretch. I sought it out for the alto sax work of Rudresh Mahanthappa, as well as the Miles Davis crossover.
I bought the 2 cd set when this was released. I like it. the “Spain” one from Belden is also nice.
Will try next.
They’ll grow into it with time, I can see have they the the temperament for jazz.

Amazing debut album from Red Trio.
An excerpt from “The Guardian”
“ In jazz, there are pianists with bass and drums accompaniment and there are piano trios. They look the same on stage, but there is a world of difference between the two and it boils down to rapport. Pianist Kenny Barron, bassist Dave Holland and drummer Johnathan Blakeare a trio and they share a degree of rapport that is a joy to listen to. The first of these 10 tracks, Barron’s catchy bossa nova, Porto Alegre, provides a perfect example. There are no solos, as such, but one or another will come to the fore while the others quietly keep the momentum going.
All three are outstanding musicians whose every move is elegant and assured. Barron must be among the most technically complete pianists in jazz today, as his playing on Speed Trap demonstrates, while Holland’s full, warm tone and firmness of line are magnificent. As for Blake, his command of time is quite unbelievable – tricky and playful but accurate to the millisecond. To hear them turn a simple groove into a little masterpiece, listen to Pass It On, Holland’s tribute to the late drummer, Ed Blackwell.”
2020 release. Spinning on the PST. Good SQ.
I was just playing the Japanese Mini LP Verve 60th Anniversary Japanese reissue of Further Adventures Of Jimmy & Wes (UCCV-9193) when you posted the box set which I also have.
I fished it out and played the first track King Of The Road (Disc 5) just to compare. They sound very different. The drums on the box set are distinctly to the right. On the Japanese Mini LP, they are on the left together with Jimmy & Wes. The sound on the box set is also more robust, with more snap where the Japanese Mini LP is more laid back.
I would have thought they use the same masters. If you also have the Japanese Mini LP, try it and see.
Not unusual for a Japanese reissue to sound different than a US one. But no, don’t have the Japanese coy of this one, or any of the albums in this set. Had this set, not an obsessive Wes collector, didn’t buy any of the reissues of these titles from Japan.
