    Good lord is this magnificent! A lovely companion to Cunieform's "Flashpoint: NDR Jazz Workshop - April '69." The inclusion of Braxton's quartet a the time with the Brits is fascinating and wonderful. Profound thanks!

    This looks good; fascinating that the Braxton / Corea group 'Circle' is within this line-up.

    There are several fascinating aspects to this set of
    performances other than the marvelous music.
    There is the inclusion of the 2 bands Circle and
    The Trio (Surman, Phillips, Martin). Also, there's
    this early version of Corea's "Sometime Ago,"
    which is a huge contrast to the well-known
    studio version recorded in February, 1972. I had
    long assumed that Corea made an abrupt break
    from the exploratory music of Circle to the more
    structured and commercially viable music of
    "Return to Forever," yet here he is playing a
    composition which we'd only heard in a much
    more conventionally lyrical version, this time
    with very "outside" solos and structures. Amazing stuff.

    Gorgeous music. Braxton's solo on Causes are Events is BLISTERING. Too bad about the rip. There are some flaws (annoying electronic clicks, the bane of my existence) that were not part of the original recording.
