Saturday Links.

"The Wind Cries Mary" by The Jimi Hendrix Experience.

"Mademoiselle Mabry" by Miles Davis.

"Miles Beyond" by The Mahavishnu Orchestra.

 

Friday Firsts

"Meeting of The Spirits" by The Mahavishnu Orchestra, from The Inner Mounting Flame. The sound of a bunch of aliens discovering earthly instruments. Or something.

"I Don't Want Nobody To Lead Me On" by The Dynamics, from First Landing.

"One Finger Snap" by Herbie Hancock, from Empyrean Isles. Incredible cornet (!) work from the late, great Freddie Hubbard.

"(Ain't That) Good News" by Sam Cooke, the title track from his 1964 album.

"Starless" by King Crimson.

"The Noonward Race" by The Mahavishnu Orchestra.

"Sunrise" by Pulp.

 

Sunday

"Vital Transformation" by The Mahavishnu Orchestra. Another astonishing drum intro - not that you'd expect anything less from Billy Cobham. The rest of the band know their way around their instruments too...

Friday Fusion

"All In The Family" by The Mahavishnu Orchestra. One of my favourite drum intros, courtesy of Narada Michael Walden.
