What's Spinning

The agutierrezb 2019 record collection challenge

So I've decided to embark on my own personal challenge, which consists of listening every record in my collection before the end of the year. My record collection is not that big -only ~250-, but I still feel like there are a bunch of records I don't give enough attention to, while still adding more titles to my shelves.

For this reason I've set a couple of rules in order to play every record at least once before December 31st: I'll play at least one record a day, going from front to back in the way I have them sorted in my shelf. I can play a different record (i.e. Not the next one in alphabetical order) if I feel like listening to something else in any given moment, but at least one of the records I spin in the day has to be the LP in turn.

I didn't take pictures for the first two days, but I'll try to document the process from here on, so I'll be posting daily on this thread. Wish me luck!

#161: Charles Lloyd - Forest Flower

Charles Lloyd has become one of my favorite jazz musicians of all time, and this record was the one that started it all. I enjoy more his later work more, but, as always, it is really interestng to hear the progress of an artist, and see how he hadn't fully developed his own sound at this moment of his career. The band is on fire here, with Keith Jarrett, Cecil McBee and Jack DeJohnette doing a fantastic job at backing Charles, but challenging him at times too.
