I have Dark Unto Themselves, Unit Structures, a live recording with Coltrane and some stuff he did with just drums and piano with Max Roach

One of my old friends had these records of his that were just solo piano and I think that stuff might be my fave but I haven't heard it in years.

1. Taylor and Coltrane only recorded once (for United Artists) and it was a studio recording originally out under Taylor's name as Hard Driven Jazz but now is released by Blue Note under Coltrane's name as Coltrane Time.



2. He performed live with Max a few times (twice in 1999 and 3 times in 2000) and the one from 1979 released as Historic Concerts is the one I was at. One of those in 2000 was also recorded at Columbia Universtiy just like the 1979 performance Satchmo happened to be there.


3. You're really missing a lot of his best recordings. I am really surprised you don't have two of his most essential recordings....especially since the second one was reissued yet again a 4 years back by Hathut. Speaking of which as fast as they go out of print! You might want to get it while you can!!!!

If you were around in the last year you seen the knowledge dropped about it up from Jazz Loft for $6.99 during one of their Hathut sales.

Nefertiti, the Beautiful One Has Come
One Too Many Salty Swift and Not Goodbye



Unit Structures is essential from his early period.

The others from that period that should be in every collection before he went Free Improv

Jazz in Advance
Love for Sale
Conquistador


When I have more time I will drop more knowledge on the others; however, except for a few of the Leo Records recordings....you really can't go wrong with anything by him. I have said this several times on here....he's really at his best in small group or solo situations.

One of the horde tell me that many of his live performances have been posted on dimeadozen. If you're into downloading things and can become a member.

Thanks.

I have that one. I guess my memory is playing tricks on me. I thought it was live.

Could list some of the ones where he plays totally solo free improv?

Thanks for the compilations Satch. Lots of listening and organization went into coming up with that. I will surely be using it as a reference! MASSIVE... daunting... boy do I need to catch up...

Yeah, and that's without mentioning the link for the Best of the 90's list.

Considering no one knows how long RM will be around....I highly recommend a copy/paste of them be instituted.

All his solo recordings/performances are Free Improv.

Having said that....if you listen to enough of his recordings or live performances you will hear certain motifs showing up.



P.S. You're welcome to both of you.

Huh?

If I understood what the "Huh?" was about I could respond.

You just linked to a post that mentioned Unit Structures. I was asking for the name of solo piano albums. That's why I said 'huh?'
