Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
I understand what you mean across all genres. At least we will always have the classics. Currently enjoying the Brown Rice LP by Don Cherry.

I think I'll need to check out some EARLIER Don Cherry :)
I tend to like wilder stuff like the Coltrane stream of jazz: Mccoy Tyner, Pharaoh Sanders, Alice Coltrane and the fusion era with Miles, Mahavishnu Orchestra, etc.
I have a McCoy Tyner big band CD I really like! I saw him at the Arcosanti music festival (AZ) in 1977?. I have a few Maha cds. I've only heard snippets of Pharoah Sanders (one where he plays, I think, 3 saxophones at once :) ). Totally unfamiliar with Alice Coltrane.
Wow, McCoy in the 70's would be intense.

I currently have no Don Cherry CDs, and have only occasionally heard some of his stuff. My trumpet players are currently limited to Miles, Freddie Hubbard, Lee Morgan, Donald Byrd, and a little Clifford Brown, Chet Baker, and Maynard Ferguson. There are a few other greats I haven't delved into either. I'll need to look into Don Cherry a little more. Thanks
