Nothing to be sorry about. I’m thrilled to get comments. By the way, as a way of thanking you for your interest in my site, I’d like to recommend another site (not my own) that catalogs the releases of the German MPS label: http://mps-love.blogspot.com/. This label is a motherlode of fantastic 70s jazz that I had never heard of up to about six months ago. I especially recommend the works of Wolfgang Dauner, Albert Mangelsdorff, Association PC, Jasper van’t Hof, and Zbigniew Seifert.

I’m having a field day looking at your other threads! Sorry for my flurry of comments but I’m rarely in contact with other people who are deeply into jazz, especially 1970’s jazz.

I’m listening to “Lungs” right now on the John Abercrombie “Timeless” album (Jan Hammer, John Abercrombie, and Jack de Johnette). I don’t even know what to write about this piece, it’s quite mindblowing, a truly massive amount of music coming from these 3 men. Hammer’s other composition on this album, “Red and Orange” is also very beautiful, more mainstream than “Lungs” but still full of the usual Hammer energy. I can only imagine what it must have been like to hear these pieces performed live. My god so much good music came out of the early 70’s.

I have the LP and agree that it is a great recording.
