I'd probably switch out the number two and number three of X Miles choices, but they're really close.
Jeff's best solo albums come later, IMO. Players, and his work with AH and Bruford, were the Stuff for me until Taking Notes, Lumpy Jazz, and the more recent releases.

Great show. I listened to them all again, and take back my prior comments. Brunel, Fafard, Nitti, Berlin. Agree that Berlin is the most distinctive soloist. Also gotta agree re the production values, 80's sounds....and those vocals are like dents in the side of the Ferrari. Fafard holds up better than Nitti, by a hair, after I listened again.
Also agree that Fatturoso, were it on the list of four, would be maybe No. 1! Definitely a grower.

It’s been a while for some of these. I guess I have my listening assignment for this weekend. Actually the CCEB will be tough because they are not on the streamers and my physical copy is in storage and I’ve not ripped it. EDIT: It turns out I do have it ripped. But an old, low quality mp3... |

4. Alain Caron - Killer solos, but the composition borders just a little on 80s "happy jazz"
3. Protocol - I love all the protocol albums, but Ray's shrill, chorused guitar tone on this one thing preventing me from connecting as much
2. CCEB - I have listened heavily to this when it came out. The tunes are top notch. The only thing knocking it down is more recently learning how the solos were more contrived & rehearsed than I had thought.
1. Tribal Tech - For that era, this is firing on all cylinders. Tunes, solos, tones. While a lot of other artists went lighter & happy, TT was the Champion of "hard" fusion in that era (along with Holdsy). The more jam based tunes marked start of the band members frustration with a tiring of the technical complexities of tracking the tunes that they had grown into.

So sorry about that . . . didn't mean to offend . . . just my humble opinion early in the morning before coffee . . . and perhaps my daily brain meds for atypical bipolar disorder sorta wreck my attention span . . . now what was this all about anyway??
