Hello Nasty turns 25 this year and still sounds as fresh as ever. Hoping they do a rerelease like they did with Check Your Head.

You saying this was released in -98?
That must be an expensive release!
Charles Lloyd will turn 85 in March and is now an esteemed jazz icon with many great recordings to his credit. He’s known for his willingness to try new approaches and sounds. He’s allowed a stinker every now and then. 
I guess that is hard to do without some failures. But it is to be respected, hard to have the power to show the failings to everybody.
I stumbled upon Conference Of The Birds by Dave Holland Quartet because of your profile pic I stopped, beautiful
Well, then that goal has been met. 
I have many Lloyd LPs, starting with “Forest Flower”. Doesn’t take away the disappointment at the last in the ‘Trios’ series.

Glad to hear that you are enjoying Conference of the Birds. I like to call “Conference of The Birds” the “Kind of Blue” for free jazz, except that Conference of The Birds doesn’t get anywhere near the airplay of Kind of Blue. Nonetheless, it remains one of the great recordings in the free jazz genre. I still and have cherish my original vinyl copy from many years ago. Conference of The Birds has been one of my audio test recordings for many years.
