Yes Dual Unity is fantastic….also “I Have No Feelings” by Annette Peacock….so much stuff!
To everyone who asks where their favourites are on these lists….make and share a list!

Thanks Terry, Dual Unity is great, felt I had to include the other as it was the knee that made first impression…..also, re Weather Report….I decided to go with “Dialexts” because it isn’t a record people know well, whereas Weather Report were stadium fillers (and yes I love them, particularly the less fashionable 80s period).

When one writes a list, it’s not a series of things that should be considered important. It’s personal. I would like to see everyone else’s list too, that’s how we progress with any luck….

It is worth mentioning here also the ‘Dual Unity’ album by Annette Peacock and Paul Bley. Worthy of consideration also are selected parts of Carla Bley’s ‘Escalator over the Hill’. Some albums by Nucleus also have some good synth sequences.

I enjoy the Don Ellis cover of ‘Hey Jude’ but I am not sure if it qualifies to be included here since the synth/ring modulator playing appears to arise from a trumpet rather a keyboard. It is the nearest we have in jazz to Hendrix’s rendition of the Star Spangled Banner.

Glad to see the Headhunters track but Hancock’s ‘Crossings’ period is worthy of recognition because it is so different from anything else.

In the second choice!
