Steve_L Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Here's one I just finished playing that is worthy of this sophisticated group's attention. Modern Jazz Quartet - Together Again Live at Montreaux 1982 Here is a tasty little gem of a jazz record that you can begin your journey into jazz with. Warm and sweet jazz and very accessible. Great for a late summer Sunday afternoon while enjoying some sunshine and iced coffee with your main squeeze. MJQ at their best. A basic for all jazz collections.

lovedrummin Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 The line-up for this self-titled album "Ramatam" is as follows: April Lawton - Guitar Mike Pinera (formerly of Blues Image & Iron Butterfly) - Guitar Mitch Mitchell (formerly of Jimi Hendrix Experience) - Drums Russ Smith - Bass Tommy Sullivan - Keyboards By 1973 the group was pared down to a trio retaining Lawton & Sullivan with Jimmy Walker on drums. This group released one more album and faded into the sunset. I saw Ramatam perform as an opening act for Emerson, Lake & Palmer in summer 1972 at Merriweather Post Pavillion, Columbia, MD. The only thing I remember about them was April Lawton on her knees hitting power chords. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
